  Visitors to the Big Apple(纽约)will soon be breathing in cleaner air after Mayor(市长)Bloomberg extended(延长)the city’s smoking ban(禁令)to some of New York’s most popular outdoor spaces.Car free areas of Times Square, parks, beaches and boardwalks will now all be ash free.Smokers will not be allowed to light up when hanging out along sidewalks across the five districts, in all parts of Central Park or along the famous Coney Island boardwalk.

  “The science is clear:Long-time exposure to second-hand smoke-whether you’re indoors or out-hurts your health.Today, we’re doing something about it.” Mayor Bloomberg said in announcing the widespread ban.

  Violators(违反者)of the new law could face a fine for as much as $250, but City officials say they expect New Yorkers and tourists to observe(遵守)the new law.

  Parks and Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe said, “By introducing this law, we welcome the chance to improve the beauty and health of the city’s public outdoor spaces.Tens of millions of visitors-New Yorkers and tourists alike-enjoy our beaches and parks year round.We hope this new law makes it even safer and more pleasant for our children and adults to play sports and for visitors of all interests to enjoy healthier and cleaner parks and beaches.”

  The ban also extends to 29,000 acres(英亩)of parkland in the city and 14 miles of public beaches.Smoking was already banned in some parks’ facilities including playgrounds, but not in most open recreational(娱乐的)areas.Several other cities across the U.S.have similar bans, including Los Angeles which saw its law change in 2007.

  Councilwoman Gale Brewer who introduced the law said, “New York is the national leader in creating healthy cities, and encouraging a healthy lifestyle.”

  The Hawaiian Islands are situated(位于)about two thousand miles away from North America, right in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.Despite the distance the Islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States.The Islands were all formed by volcano eruption and on the largest of the islands, Hawaii, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years.

  On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating directions.They don't use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest of the world.They use the mauka and makai system.Mauka means "mountain".The mountains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic islands.Makai means "the sea".The islands are small and the system is simple.Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea.A typical conversation between a native Hawaiian and a visitor might go as follows.

  VISITOR:Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is? HAWAIIAN; Well…Let me see! From here it's two blocks mauka, and then one block makai.You can't miss it!

Bicycles are very popular in China. In our country you can see bicycles almost everywhere. When you walk on the road, you will find a lot of people riding bicycles to schools, shops and anywhere else. Therefore, China is known as “the kingdom of bicycles”. In China, many families have one or two bicycles.

Compared with cars, bicycles have many advantages. First, they are much cheaper than cars. Most Chinese can’t afford cars, but they can afford bicycles. Second, bicycles are small enough to park anywhere, while cars need a larger piece of land to park. What’s more, with lower speed, bicycles are safer than cars.

However, bicycles also bring some problems. Some riders don’t obey the traffic rules and some riders don’t think about others safety. So they ride too fast. During the rush hour, too many bicycles may cause traffic accidents. We still have a long way to solve the problem.
