The ebike has become an essential item, and even the King has been spotted riding one. According
to the market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years. While ebikes
have become increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can pick up a perfectly
adequate push bike for￡300, but most ebikes cost nearly￡2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to
help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.
Best folding bike
Carbo Model X
Price: ￡2,799 |Weight: 13.3kg
Range: up to 34 miles
This is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the
perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain.
This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oily
chain.
Most stylish
Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from ￡2,995 | Weight: 19kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This is
its electric version. It's a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples have
fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in any bike shop. Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs
and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option
Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: ￡5,380 |Weight: 28.4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in
functionality, comfort and practicality —if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of

A 12-year-old girl, Eleanor Woods, has created a green backpack that filters (过滤) out air pollution.
Her innovative bag won the award of the “Backpack to the Future” competition.
The competition was launched to encourage students to combine an interest in fashion with a career
in science, technology, engineering or maths.
Powered by green energy from solar power and a dynamo—a machine that converts mechanical
energy into electrical energy—the backpack filters polluted air before fanning out cleaner air nearby.
Air pollution was always Eleanor's concern. Meanwhile, spending a lot of time with her asthmatic
(患哮喘病的) mum, Eleanor especially focused on how pollution affects a person's health and the spread
of diseases. “We have an air filter at home because my mum has mild asthma. But what if she wants to go
out? It would be inconvenient and dangerous! My Breathe Better Backpack is about keeping those like
my mother safe using an air filter. It looks cool and will help get them outside and fight off colds,”
Eleanor said.
The girl added, “My generation has really realized pollution, and we have lessons on it at school.
This is another reason why I designed this, because we need to do something.”
The Breathe Better Backpack came under the spotlight in the competition. Stratton Smith, one of the
judges of the competition, said the impact of Eleanor's design would be far-reaching. “If just a few people
start using it, it can be really good for the planet,” he explained.
4. What inspired Eleanor Woods to design the backpack?
A. The award of the competition. B. High expenses of air filters.

The elderly residents in care homes in London are being given hens to look after to stop them feeling
lonely.
The project was dreamed up by a local charity to reduce loneliness and improve elderly people's
wellbeing, It is also being used to help patients suffering dementia, a serious illness of the mind. Staff in
care homes have reported a reduction in the use of medicine where hens are in use.
Among those taking part in the project is 80-year-old Ruth Xavier. She said: “I used to keep hens
when I was younger and had to prepare their breakfast each morning before I went to school.
"I like the project a lot. I am down there in my wheelchair in the morning letting the hens out and
down there again at night to see they've gone to bed.
"It's good to have a different focus. People have been bringing their children in to see the hens and
residents come and sit outside to watch them. I'm enjoying the creative activities, and it feels great to have
done something useful."
There are now 700 elderly people looking after hens in 20 care homes in the North East, and the
charity has been given financial support to roll it out countrywide.
Wendy Wilson, extra care manager at 60 Penfold Street, one of the first to embark on the project,
said: "Residents really welcome the idea of the project and the creative sessions. We are looking forward
to the benefits and fun the project can bring to people here."
Lynn Lewis, director of Notting Hill Pathways, said: "We are happy to be taking part in the project.
It will really help connect our residents through a shared interest and creative activities."
8. What is the purpose of the project?
