One morning, when we had been riding on our bikes for five hours, we came to a bridge where the railway crossed a pond (池塘). For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers(枕木)under our wheels, and nothing to stop us falling into the steaming pond below if we lost our balance. Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow. I watched Mat as he came near to the bridge and rode straight over, without even slowing down. I stopped.
‘What's up?’ he cried out from the other side.
‘I'm not riding over that thing, if I slip(滑), I'll be in there with that cow’.
‘There is nothing to it. I just did it, didn't I?’
‘You're strong and taller. My feet don't touch the ground. You do it for me. ’
Mat said strength didn't come into it and rode off. I knew he would give me at least an hour before coming to help. The sun burned my face, sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my blouse to my body. Try myself rather than wait for Mat to help. I rode back to get a good run-up and over I went. Mat was that right: all the difficulties were in the mind.

Visitors to Switzerland usually include Basel in their list of cities to visit. It has a population of over350 000, the majority of whom speak German. However, it is considered a kind of international city, because it stands at the point where three countries meet. Many visitors go to the place in the city where a small three side marker stays? France on one side, Germany on another, and Switzerland on the third. The Rhine, which divides the city, becomes wide and deep enough just at this point for ships to sail all the way up to the North Sea. Basel is quite an old city, too, having risen five centuries ago. The University Basel was founded in 1860, and it is well-known today.
