cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or bike.
In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike
riders have even formed a group called "Bike for a Better City". They claim that if more people rode bicycles
to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air
from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example,
they want the city to paint special lanes-for bicycles only-on some of the main streets, because when bicycle
riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. "Bike for Better City" feels that if there were
special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like the
idea-they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea-they say that if there
is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends,
Central Park-the largest open place in New York-is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only.
But "Bike for a Better City" says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until
that happens, the safest place to bicycles may be in the park.
B. cars
C. planes
D. ships
B. The Central Park is closed to cars on weekdays.
C. "Bike for a Better City" members ride bicycles to work.
D. Accidents won't happen if cars and bikes are on different lanes.
B. the main streets are not wide enough
C. the city government can't help to paint the lanes
D. there's no need for most people to travel by bike
B. "Bike for a Better City" and the city government
C. the government's idea on traffic and city pollution
D. a suggestion on the city problems of traffic and pollution
Jim Green has been in China for more than two years．He has been to many interesting places in Beijing, but he has not yet been to many other parts of China．Last week he went to Mount Emei in Sichuan Province with his family．
Many people like to travel by air, but Jim’s family think that travelling by train is the best．It is much cheaper and far more enjoyable than a rushed trip by air．They had a wonderful train ride to Chengdu before they went on to Mount Emei by bus．
Early one morning, they took a taxi to Beijing West Railway Station．The station was very lively．There were bookshops, food shops and stores selling all kinds of things．Mrs．Green bought some fruit, food and bottles of water to take on the train．She said that it was better to get some food before they got on the train because food on the train was usually too expensive．
The train was quite comfortable, and there weren’t too many people in their sleeping car．The Greens could stand up and walk around．It was a long journey, but none of them felt tired．They kept watching the beautiful scenery out of the window．They walked, laughed and played cards．The conductor kept coming to offer them hot water and selling them magazines．People nearby talked with each other．A young man practiced speaking English with Mr．Green．Jim thought the train was like a big moving party．He went to sleep quite late．He listened to the click of the rails and then fell fast asleep．
When Jim woke up the next morning, the train was already near Chengdu．His train ride seemed really short, but his memory of the pleasant trip will last long．
