The bicycle is one of the simplest yet most useful inventions in the world. What is most surprising is that it was not 1 earlier, although the great inventor Leonardo Da Vinci had drawn pictures for bicycles and also for flying machines and some other things. Those things were not produced2 long after he died.
A person riding a bicycle uses 3 energy to make the bicycle move, and there is no pollution at all when you are riding. Even so, in developed 4, most people don’t travel to work by bicycle. It is not because the bicycles are expensive or people feel5 if they ride to work. It’s because 6 cars on the roads becomes larger. It certainly becomes 7 to ride a bicycle. As a result, more people put their bicycles away and go to work 8 their cars , and in this way, the situation is made more serious.9 the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to create paths (开设通道) only for bicycles, and to make 10 so difficult and expensive for drivers to take their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bicycles.

James shook his money box again.
Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52 (about 153 yuan). The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! How on earth (究竟) was he going to get the rest of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out with people when you were the only one without a bicycle. He thought about what he could do. There was no point asking his parents, for he knew they had no extra money.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn (挣) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the beginning of James’ part-time job.
For the next three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks, cleaned out cupboards and repaired books.
The day finally came when James counted his money and found $ 94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard working for the money, but James knew that he valued (珍惜) his bicycle far more because he had bought it with his own money. He had achieved what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
