The four men marked their route on an app before using it track their journey around Perth. When uploaded to the computer, it was shown as a picture. Cyclist Ben Jones said the group settled on a goat because it was an easy animal to draw. He said the ride lasted more than six hours, with the four men stopping only for food, and flat tyres . "Except for riding 202km, it's relatively simple," Mr. Jones told the BBC. "You mainly mark your route on the app and it plans directions out."GPS art has also been widely used by runners and other cyclists when they travel out. Mr. Jones said his group wanted to shake up their normal weekend ride. "We all ride l0,000km to 15,000km a year," he said. "Mostly we just ride together as mates and have a good time - that's what this was about."The group received much attention after posting their map to social media this week. Others described Mr. Jones as a goat guy in an interview on Australian television. For their next piece of GPS art, the group plans to draw a local animal such as the koala. "Certainly, there'll be something coming, for we are making our decisions to put more and more plans into practice. I'm sure of that," Mr. Jones said.1.What holds many people's attention greatly?A.The cyclists' shaping the route into the outline of a goat.B.The cyclists' having the GPS to travel with.C.The cyclists' having traveled 125 miles.D.The cyclists' riding more than 6 hours.2.What did the four men do during their six-hour ride?A.They had their bikes repaired.B.They got something to eat.C.They stopped to have a rest.D.They planned new directions.3.How would Mr. Jones feel about their ride?A.It was tiring.B.It was enjoyable.C.It was moving.D.It was amazing.4.What does the underlined word "that" in the last paragraph refer to?A.Mr. Jones becoming a goat guy.B.People paying attention to the map.C.The group drawing the animal koala.D.The group performing their ride plans.4、Have you ever been given something you don’t like or doesn’t fit, but you don’t want to hurt the feelings of the person who thinks about you? You’re not alone. Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life. That doesn’t mean the item is bad or useless. It simply means that it doesn’t work for you.If you find yourself with something nice but that doesn’t fit into your lifestyle, consider regifting it. Before you do that, make sure you understand the manners of this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent.There are specific things you should do to an item. Failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation. You never have to lie about what you are doing, but you don’t want to be in the position of having to explain anything. For example, remove the original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own; make sure the box is in good condition so the item doesn’t appear used; check t he item and make sure there are no cards or names on the packaging; inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition.When you get ready for regifting, consider having a white elephant gift exchange for your next celebration. This removes all the embarrassment of being caught regifting because that’s the whole purpose of the event. In order to prevent hurting feelings, provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything given by the people on that list.1.
