Long ago, there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well-known for his wide knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn things from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.
One day a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself had many more questions about things than we did? On the contrary, we students have far more than you.”
With a smile, the teacher drew two circles—one as a big wheel, the other smaller.
“Of course, I’ve learned much more. But a teacher does not necessarily have fewer questions than his students. Now look at these two circles. Within the big one is my knowledge of things, and within the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, the line that marks out the circle is longer. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn, the more questions you have. You never learn enough, you know.”

If you go to visit London，you will see a lot of buses and cars on the road，you will also see a lot of bikes because more people travel by bike．Why?
There are a lot of reasons for this．First，it’s very cheap to buy a bike，and riding bikes is quick, too．You often need to wait for a bus for half an hour．When the bus comes，there are so many other buses and cars on the roads so the bus moves very slowly．The underground train（地铁）is quick but very expensive．
I travel to work by bus for about four years.I often arrive at work late and feel tired.Then one day , a friend of mine says, “I go to work by bike，why don’t we travel together？”“Because my bike’s old，”I answer，“and there are so many buses and cars on the road．I feel afraid…”“Don’t be afraid!”says my friend，“If you follow me and we ride slowly，you will be fine．”
Two days later I buy a new bike．We go slowly, but we arrive at work quickly. I spend 40 minutes going by bus, but only half an hour by bike! Now I love riding a bike. And I feel healthy. Many people think my idea is good and maybe you’ll see more bikes on the road in the future.
Many people think in the same way as I do．That’s why you see a lot of bikes on the road．Who knows，perhaps in the future we’ll have roads for bicycles only．I hope so!
