Kreuzberg in Berlin, Germany is well-known for foods from various countries. Here are some of the best places to get a taste of the neighborhood.

Fisch-Schmidt

Founded in 1908, this popular fish restaurant is named after its original German founder. When he failed to persuade his son to carry on the business, he handed it over to his superstar 18-year-old Turkish employee, Ayshe. She and her family have run it ever since, and the restaurant still serves traditional German smoked fish and potatoes alongside Turkish-influenced salads.

Little Gourmets

This store is best known for roasted and sweetened nuts and dried fruit. Customers can buy the various sweets here and go to its next-door teashop which offers more than one hundred types of Turkish drinks. The store owners are not at all interested in rushing anyone-they encourage their customers to enjoy every last bite and drink.

Baraka

Baraka is a Moroccan restaurant named after its owner. Baraka's father ran a restaurant in Casablanca in the mid-1970s that was frequented by German business travelers. He thought he could make a killing if he opened a restaurant in Germany, so he did just that when Baraka was a young child. Today people arrive in crowds for the vegetarian soup, and the fresh bread piping hot out of the oven.

Noodle Soup Lady

Noodle Soup Lady is well known for its Thai foods. Its terrific beef noodle soup with thin slices of pork is slightly sweet and sour. Another classic dish at Noodle Soup Lady is a kind of spicy salad which is made just in front of your eyes.

 The national statistics showing a decline in bike ridership are a bit misleading. It is indeed down in rural and suburban areas — but cities tell a different story. Biking in cities has exploded recently with millions of Americans mounting bicycles for the first time in years. Is it the start of a long-term trend? 

 There are good reasons to hope so. Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse emissions (排放) in the U.S., and cars and light trucks account for 58 percent of transportation emissions. Switching from cars to bikes cuts emissions much faster than switching to electric cars. 

 And motor vehicle accidents still kill more than 39,000 Americans a year — including more than 700 cyclists. Some 70 percent of people surveyed in the U.S. say they're interested in biking. Why don't they bike more? It comes down to safety. Half of the people surveyed said they were, understandably,too afraid to bike on the street. 

 Putting a painted biking path on a 40-mph road is not going to appeal to potential cyclists afraid of a close encounter with a car. Bike safety isn't about painting bike paths on every street. It's about creating bike networks that can take you safely from point A to point B. Good bike networks are made of things like greenways,protected bike paths with physical barriers separating riders from cars,and quiet streets. 

 The good news is that bike networks were expanding in the U.S. years ago. Between 1991 and 2021,there was a six-fold increase in painted,off-road paths,from 5,904 miles to 39,329 miles. And the increase in protected bike paths is even more dramatic:Their total length,nationwide,went from only 34 miles in 2006 to 425 miles in 2018. In fact,cities in the West and East are leading the pack,but the trend is nationwide. 

(1) What can we learn from Paragraph 1?  A. There is a decline in traveling. B. America is facing an economic decline. C. More and more people ride bikes in cities. D. Biking cost is on an increase across America.
(2) What can help to improve cyclists' safety best?  A. A speed limit. B. A network of bike paths. C. More traffic lights. D. Painted areas for cycling.
(3) How does the author show the expansion of bike networks?  A. By analyzing cases. B. By comparing results. C. By listing figures. D. By showing the effect.
(4) What's the main idea of the passage?  A. America is becoming more bike-friendly. B. Travelling by bike helps reduce pollution. C. Reasons and solutions for biking accidents. D. Americans are troubled with biking problems.

The following is part of an interview between Professor Bernard Feringa (a Nobel Price winner) and a CNN reporter. 

Q: You often say that universities should be playgrounds. How can we make sure that this is a case? 

A: I'm a strong believer in challenging students at all levels — to think, to discover and to go beyond the current knowledge. The universities have a special role here, because academic training and science should go beyond the current horizon. I think that we shouldn't forget that we shouldn't train our students for today or tomorrow; we should train them for 10 to 20 years from now. Because then they will be the innovators in our society, and they will be the persons that make a difference. Train our students for future means that they have to be able to surpass the border of our current knowledge. This is what I mean with playground. I mean that you have sufficient space to think, to discover and to be free to make mistakes, but in particular to make the next steps, be creative and not limited by what should be done. A lot of things happen by accident and suddenly you get a major breakthrough or new insight. Schools should encourage students to ask questions and be creative. 

Q: What is it that you like so much about teaching? 

A: I really enjoy the transfer of the beauty of knowledge: insights, questions, things that we don't know, or the limitations of what we know. I never get tired of my job. I think that you share with your students the opportunity to transfer some knowledge, but also get a lot of things back by asking questions and discussing. Across all fields, from natural sciences to humanities, you have knowledge and insights built upon generations and decades. At the universities we have to transfer a lot of knowledge and teach students the basic skills and techniques. But it's also our duty to go beyond that — to ask them questions about what we don't know and what improvements we can make for the future. Doing surgery in the hospital now might be taken over by robots in the future. How are we going to deal with that? Or will we be able to make fuel for airplanes? These are challenging and tough questions but to share those with the students is really nice. Most of all, I think the beauty of knowledge and the excitement of insights and discoveries is fantastic.

(1) What does the professor agree to? A. Students are bound to surpass their present teachers. B. Students are expected to be different future citizens. C. Students are supposed to have more academic training. D. Students should definitely be encouraged to be challenged.
(2)  What does "plavground" mean to Bernard Feringa? A. An area for physical activities. B. An area for extra-curricular experiments. C. An area for bold exploration. D. An area for academic improvements.
(3) Which saying can best describe the reason for the professor's devotion to teaching? A. He who teaches learns. B. Work makes a workman. C. Never too old to learn. D. Truth never fears investigation.
(4) How can you describe Professor Bernard Feringa? A. Respectable and reliable. B. Innovative and devoted. C. Generous and sharp-minded. D. Independent and professional.
