A The City Bike program rolled into New York in 2013 and proved a hit , with nearly 12,000 New Yorkers signing up for annual memberships. Since 2010 , over a dozen US cities have introduced bike­share programs. There ’ re plenty of bike stations near parks and other car­free areas. The programs we looked at in major cities work the same way. You buy a 24­hour pass. During the time , you get an unlimited number of 30­minute rides. If you go over your given half­hour ride time , you start paying fees for each following 30­minute period. Here are some of the biggest bike­share programs in America. Minneapolis : Nice Ride Minnesota Station : Minnehaha Ave.& Minnehaha Pkwy How much : 6 for a 24­hour pass. How it works : The first 30 minutes are included in the pass ; 1.50 for the second 30 minutes ; 4.50 for the third 30 minutes ; later 6 for every half an hour.

B On a weekend trip, an outdoor loving man went out with two of his sons for a hike on a remote trail. They were dressed for hot weather, and the high temperature went down as night fell. The cold had killed them. Police were called at around 6:00 p.m. A research was launched, but was called off around midnight when floodwaters made the trail impassable. The search restarted at around 7:00 a.m. on Sunday. The father and his sons were found on the trail a few hours later. David Decareaux was pronounced dead at the scene. His sons were taken to the hospital where they died. Volner said there are no caves or other places of refuge along the trail. Although Decareaux had a cellphone and a flashlight with him, both devices lost power at some point, his wife, Sarah, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Monday. A passer-by spotted the hiker in the way of their journey and asked if they needed a ride back to the house, where Decareaux’s wife and their three other children who were aged 12, 4 and 2 were staying. But Decareaux said no, telling the man they could walk back, Volner said. Decareaux was a loving father and an experienced hiker who had retired from the Air Force in recent years and was working with the Defense Department. Decareaux and his wife got married about t14 years ago after a chance meeting that was “love at first sight”. They had a happy marriage. 1. Decareaux have ______ children in all? 2.
