This is an important question because installing one requires significant public and private investment and adjustment to the built envi

13、ronment.While many programs have been launched among much praise, often their popularity has soon declined. Many end up operating at a financial loss and depend on other profitable enterprises to cross-subsidize(交叉补贴) them. Some have resulted in thrown-away bikes becoming an eyesore.Understanding wh

14、ich factors enhance or stop public bike sharing is critical in helping cities decide whether such a program is workable, before considering what design and sitting will work best.Drawing on current knowledge, we discuss the importance of the local landscape, climate, cycling infrastructure (基础设施) an

15、d land use. We also touch on other factors, such as the legal environment and the characteristics of the bike-sharing program itself.Take natural environment for example.

16、ring use, as users avoid returning bicycles to stations on hilltops. Those stations end up being empty, while stations on flat areas are often full, so users cannot find a station to return their bikes.As for weather, ideal temperature ranges vary by the climate zone.

He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklins Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for

22、long, Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, How are you?,

23、as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appealed on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”Perhaps not. but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has bro

24、ught about a real sense of death, Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years.

You immediately go to your keyboard and start to type out that 280-character tweet, the Facebook reply, or a paragraphs-long email. Surely the reason, logic, and strong p

29、ower of your written words will convince whoever it is who disagrees with you to see your point of view. But new research suggests a different idea.That research was conducted by Juliana Schroeder, assistant professor of University of California, Berkeley, and her colleagues. In Schroeders study of

30、almost 300 people, participants were asked to watch, listen, and read arguments about subjects they agreed or disagreed with. They were asked to judge the character of the communicator and the quality of the argument. Schroeders team found that the participants who watched or listened to the communi
