阅读快车系列答案More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It’s fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
If you get on a bicycle and ride it, you may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your cars. You can bike to work and benefit (收益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.
Folding (折叠) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.
Here are some of Health Benefits of Bicycling:
² Bicycling helps to prevent heart diseases.
² Bicycling helps to control your weight.
A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year.

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.
【小题1】Why didn’t James ask his parents for help?
| A．Because they didn’t love him. |
| B．Because they didn’t have extra money. |
| C．Because they lived far away from him. |
| D．Because they didn’t need a bike. |
| A．found a job |
| B．borrowed money from his classmates |
| C．sold his old books |
| D．asked his grandfather for some money |
| A．walking dogs | B．cleaning out cupboards |
| C．cooking meals | D．repairing books |
| A．$24.52 | B．$90 | C．$94.32 | D．$69.80 |
| A．We should buy everything we want. |
| B．We should get what we want through hard work. |
| C．Parents shouldn’t give children any money. |
| D．We shouldn’t show off new things to poor children. |
