Passage 5

Answer the questions.（根据以下内容回答问题）（12分）

There has been a lot of talk about Chinese bicycle-sharing recently. Shared bikes are nowadays becoming the center of attention in our WeChat friend circle. Many of our friends post photos of themselves riding bikes, especially during the weekends in natural parks, and we can see people logging in and out of shared bike apps. But are people really drawn to（被……所吸引）the idea of exercise and green transportation all of a sudden?

Some people have tried Mobikes lately, and they didn't particularly like Mobikes. They think the first generation Mobikes, the ones without baskets, are designed for athletes. They are very hard to ride, and the seat is not adjustable（可调节的）.Then,they tried the yellow ofo bikes.They are easier to ride than Mobikes, but they don't usually have baskets, and you need to enter the password by hand, instead of scanning a QR code and having the lock open automatically like with Mobikes.

We appreciate that there are shared bikes on the roads. They have saved us a lot of time during emergency（紧急）situations,and on beautiful,clear days.We do enjoy riding them outside the city. But from what we've seen in our friend circles, people have been giving them endless praises,while we still saw some obvious flaws（缺陷）.

In our experience,there has never been a unanimous（一致的）decision on anything in public opinion. It makes us wonder whether these people really like riding shared bikes or are just saying this to agree with others. When we asked them individually, a friend of us, Lisa,secretly told us she tried the bikes to fit in（融入朋友圈）.She doesn't like bikes and finds city's roads too harsh（拥堵）for bike riding.But the only way to hang out（出去闲逛） with her friends was riding out of town together. To join in social activities, she had to pick up bike riding again. Another young man, Simon admitted that he started talking about and forwarding information（转发信息）on shared bikes to appear cool and fashionable to friends.He started paying attention when Mobikes first launched（推出）.These views will give us something new to think about when we ride bikes again.
