At the beginning of my 8:00 a.m.class one Monday at University of Nevada,Las Vegas(UNLV),I cheerfully asked my students     their weekend had been.“Not been very good”,one young man said.He'd had his wisdom teeth      .The young man then went on to ask me why I    seemed to be so cheerful.His question reminded me of     I′d read somewhere before:”Every morning when you get up,you have a      about how you want to approach life that day”,I said.“I choose to be cheerful”.

“Let me give you an     ”,I continued.The other 60 students in the class      their chatter and began to listen.one day,my car died on the way.I called AAA and asked them to send a      .The secretary in the Provost’S office asked me what had happened.”This is my       day”, I replied,smiling.”Your Car       and today is your lucky day?”She Was       .”What do you mean?”“I live 17 miles from here”,I replied.”My car     have gone wrong anywhere along the freeway.It didn’t.Instead,it went wrong in the       place:off the freeway,within walking distance of here.I’m     able to teach my class,and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to     me after class.”The secretary’s eyes opened wide,and then she smiled.

Today, bicycles are elegantly simple machines that are common around the world. Many people ride bicycles for recreation, whereas others use them as a means of transportation. The first bicycle was invented in Germany in 1818. Because it was made of wood, it wasn’t very strong nor did it have pedals (脚踏板).Riders moved it by pushing their feet against the ground.

In 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented a much better bicycle. Macmillan’s machine had iron-covered wheels to keep them from getting worn down. He also used foot-operated levers, similar to pedals, so his bicycle could be ridden at a quick pace. It didn’t look much like the modem bicycle, though, because its back wheel was substantially larger than its front wheel. Although Macmillan’s bicycles could be ridden easily, they were never produced in large numbers.

In 1861, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and his brother Ernest invented a bicycle with an improved pedal mechanism. They called their bicycle a velocipede,but most people called it a “bone shaker” because of the effect of the wood and iron frame. Despite the impolite nickname, the velocipede was a hit. After a few years, the Michaux family was making hundreds of the machines annually, mostly for fun-seeking young people.

Ten years later, James Starley , an English inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized bicycle design. He made the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the pedals to make the bicycle more efficient,and lightened the wheels by using wire spokes. Although this bicycle was much lighter and less tiring to ride, it was still clumsy, extremely top-heavy,and ridden mostly for entertainment.

It wasn’t until 1874 that the first truly modern bicycle appeared on the scene. Invented by another Englishman, H. J. Lawson, the safety bicycle would look familiar to today’s cyclists. The safety bicycle had equal-sized wheels, which made it easier to ride. Lawson also attached a chain to the pedals to drive the back wheel. By 1893,the safety bicycle had been further improved with air-filled rubber tires, a diamond-shaped frame, and easy braking. With the improvements provided by Lawson; bicycles became extremely popular and useful for transportation. Today, they are built, used, and enjoyed all over the world.
