I was fired, along with several others. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn't completely 38 . I signed a stack of papers, gathered my personal 39 , and left to join my wife who was waiting for me at a nearby restaurant, completely 40 . Fast-forward several hours, we both got really silly drunk. So, 40 plus years of continuous 41 in a variety of companies, large and small, was 42 . I had a good network, a good reputation — I thought I’d be 43 fine. I was an engineer in manufacturing and packaging.

And so at the age of 66, with 40 years of 54 , I became an entrepreneur for the very first time. And I am doing the most 55 and meaningful work of my life right now. 36. A. invited 37. A. cause 39.

The Birds landed in September. Since then, the lightweight black electric scooters (踏板车) have become visible everywhere on the streets of Santa Monica as skateboards and bicycles.
Depending on your point of view, the Bird fleet is an environmentally sound, inexpensive way to go “the last mile” between public transit and your destination, an annoying obstacle to pedestrians who have to keep off them on sidewalks, a safety nightmare, an appealing toy for teenagers too young to legally rent them, a crime against the people of the state of California as laid out in a criminal complaint by Santa Monica against Bird Rides Inc. …or just a hell of a lot of fun.
Even though Birds are meant to be ridden in bike lanes on city, Galan, 20, a Santa Monica College student and crazy skateboarder who works at the Cow’s End coffee shop near the Venice Pier said, he does not feel safe on one anywhere but the beach bike path. “I’ve seen a lot of people going 15 mph, and then hit something because
Santa Monica police have watched with some alarm, particularly after a helmet-less adult rider was seriously injured last month when she blew through a stop near Sixth and Idaho and crashed into a car. An even bigger problem, though, is the number of under-aged riders.
Santa Monica, which has embraced bike hubs and reducing dependence on single-occupancy cars, has welcomed Bird to town. “It’s fun to be on a scooter and we completely understand the appeal,” said Santa Monica public information officer Constance Farrell. “But we also understand they are dangerous, and not toys, and need to be operated safely.”
Late last year, Santa Monica city officials grew so frustrated with Bird's refusal to work out some licensing issues that the city lawyer filed an eight-count misdemeanor criminal complaint naming the company and Vander Zanden who moved to Santa Monica to start Birds Rides Inc. as defendants.
“Multiple attempts were made and they were unwilling to come to the table to work with us,” Farrell said. “That’s why the criminal complaint was filed.”
Santa Monica is eager to break away from dependence on cars, Farrell said, but right now Bird is in the doghouse. “This is a rogue (胡作非为的) implementation model that does not have an eye toward safety.”
Vander Zanden disputes her description: \have had some productive conversations.\
On Feb.1, a judge delayed a hearing in the criminal case to Feb.24 to allow the parties time to negotiate. I foresee a friendly, peaceable resolution. I also foresee more accidents.
And, of course, the inevitable lawsuit or two.
58. What can we know about the Bird Scooter from the second paragraph?
A. It will cost one a handful of money to own a scooter.
B. It brings much inconvenience to the city rather than convenience. C. A 14-year-old boy can use the scooter legally. D. It has caused many safety problems to the city.
59. According to what Farrell said, which of the following is NOT right? A. The scooters are widely received by the people in Santa Monica. B. The Birds Rides Inc. refused to cooperate with the the government. C. Santa Monica used to be heavily dependent on cars.
D. The company and the government have had productive conversations. 60. What can be inferred according to the passage?
they didn’t realize how close they were. ”
