It was hot and humid. I myself out of the house to ride my bike along the Hudson River. I had myself I would learn to ride with no hands and my summer freedom is decreasing. lifting my hands before losing balance, I rode steadily up the bike path.

Later, I parked my bike and lay down on a wooden . Just as I got , a man appeared in my vision. “It looks like it's going to rain,” he said. “I was just like you once,” the man continued. “One day, I went for a bike ride and lay down on a bench, it started to rain. People walking by me probably thought I was .” I listened, with the rain falling down. “Rain is like therapy (治疗),” he said, “ you just lie there and let it fall on your face.”

“I'm taking a tai chi class, and there's this word, Kua, that means ‘Everything in the is connected.'” He began to sway (摇晃) a little. “When the shoulders move, the hips move. Everything is connected.” The rain fell , and I told the man I'd better get home. “Nice to meet you,” he said, and we called each other's bikes beautiful before forever.

I had never ridden in the rain before. I was that I wouldn't be able to practice my hands-free skills on the way home. But then a(an) thought came into my mind: Why not?

Wheels are everywhere around you and me, yet no one knows exactly when the first wheel was invented or what it was used for. We do know, however, that they existed over 5,500 years ago in ancient Asia.

The oldest known transport wheel was discovered in 2002 in Slovenia. It is over 5,100 years old. Evidence suggests that wheels for transport didn’t become popular for a while, though. This could be because animals did a perfectly good job of carrying farming tools and humans around.

But it could also be because of a difficult situation. While wheels need to roll on smooth surfaces, roads with smooth surfaces weren't going to be constructed until there was plenty of demand for them. Eventually, road surfaces did become smoother, but this difficult situation appeared again a few centuries later. There had been no important changes in wheel and vehicle design before the arrival of modern road design.

In the mid-1700s,a Frenchman came up with a new design of road--a base layer (层)of large stones covered with a thin layer of smaller stones. A Scotsman improved on this design in the 1820s and a strong, lasting road surface became a reality. At around the same time, metal hubs(the central part of a wheel)came into being, followed by the pneumatic tire (充气轮胎) in 1846. Alloy wheels were invented in 1967, sixty years after the appearance of tarmacked roads(柏油路). As wheel design took off, vehicles go faster and faster.

1.What might be the reason why transport wheels wasn’t that popular for some time?

A. Few knew how to use transport wheels.

B. Humans carried farming tools just as well.

C. Such animals as horses and bulls were still a good means of transport.

D. The existence of transport wheels was not known.

2.How is the last paragraph mainly developed?

A. By giving examples.

B. By following time order

C. By making comparisons.

D. By making classifications.

3.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The beginning of road design.

B. The history of public transport.

C. The developmentt of transport wheels.

D. The invention of fast-moving vehicles.

When Charles Stratton was five, he stopped growing. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P. T. Barnum. Mr. Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles' parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.

He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a name, General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.

During the show, Tom fought battles pretendedly with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall. Tom's act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty five.
