Ⅰ 阅读理解

A

People at an east London workshop are paying to learn how to make their own bicycle. Nothing unusual about that? But at this Bamboo Bicycle Club session, the bikes are being made with bamboo.

In all the excitement to claim bicycles the answer to crowded roads, polluted city air and our own health, the materials used to manufacture those bikes often get overlooked. Carbon fiber, for example, is increasingly popular for new bicycles, particularly racing bikes. The material, though lightweight and strong, is difficult to recycle and cannot be melted down and reused in its original form, unlike aluminum and steel. Carbon fiber is also dangerous and dirty to work with, so it's an unlikely material for encouraging people to build and repair their own bicycles. It's also incredibly wasteful. Most people replace a racing bike every three years, adding to carbon fiber waste.

Motivated to cut the waste and make bike­building more popular, Marr has set up a club to teach people how to make their own bikes out of bamboo. Far from just panda food, bamboo is a strong and popular building material in Asia, and it's well suited to being shaped into a bicycle frame. It can grow from seed to harvest in less than four years. Still, its sustainability relies on production standards, for example, avoiding the use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and ensuring natural forest is not cleared for plantations.

The club's workshop in London makes around 500 bicycles a year, with a two­day session building your own bamboo bicycle costing around ￡600. The club has opened franchises(特许经营权) in Germany and Italy, with more in Canada and South Africa opening soon. As well as teaching people to build bikes, the club was invited by two NGOs working in Kenya last year to help teach students in Malaa near Nairobi how to repair, maintain and build bicycles. The final ambition is to help reconnect people with bikes and the materials used to build them.

In a recent interview, Marr talked about the trendy bike­sharing. “While bike­sharing companies have promised lots in terms of more sustainable transport, they haven't yet changed wasteful consumer attitudes，” Marr commented, adding that he was shocked by photos of thousands of unwanted bicycles abandoned in cities across China.

(2019·惠州调考)Along with the standard pigments(颜料) and paintbrushes, artist Sean Yoro(known as Hula), requires an unconventional piece of equipment for his particular brand of mural(壁画) making: a paddleboard.

The Hawaiian muralist, balanced on the top of the floating platform, describes women from various sites across the world，whose homelands are often threatened by the effects of global warming.

For his most recent project, titled “What If You Fly”， Hula traveled to Baffin Island, off the coast of Nunavut, Canada, to paint a portrait of local Inuit woman Jesse Mike，who lives there with her daughter.

In a short film telling of the artist's process，Mike explains her frustrating previous

experiences working with filmmakers who reported on the terrible circumstances troubling her endangered landscape.“For most people, it's about the polar bears, it's not about the people，” she said.“Well, let's make it about the people.”

Hula and his team spent 14 hours searching for the perfect iceberg canvas(油画布), knowing all the while that the ice itself, and any image created on the top of it, would soon melt away into nothing.

“It's a little ambitious to do this larger­than­life ice mural in the Arctic, and somehow, at the same time, make a connection to the human culture，” climber and filmmaker Renan Ozturk said of the project.

When Hula found his proper ice, he painted a portrait of Jesse he took earlier on his camera. Working against the power of time and Mother Nature, the artist aimed to finish as much of Jesse's portrait as he could before the iceberg disappeared.

The massive image, Hula's most remote and technically challenging piece yet，communicates a memorable reality—the consequences of climate change, first and foremost，affect people.
