Copenhagen, one of the world's most bicycle-friendly cities, has
begun to turn its network of usual highways (公路) into bike highways in order to push more commuters (每日往返上班着) to leave their cars at
home.
Copenhagen and Amsterdam are called Europe's two "bicycle
capitals", Copenhagen counts more bicycles than people and cycling is so
popular that its numerous bike paths (道) can become very crowded.
Traffic
jams caused by bikes are usually common on the main Noerrebrogade (诺勒布洛加德街) street used by around
36,000 cyclists a day. "Copenhagen's
roads are packed with people who want to ride their bicycles in all kinds of
weather. You have to be careful cycling your way forward and some cyclists
aren't always thoughtful," complains 22-year-old university student Lea
Bresell. "The creation of bike highways comes right on time," he
adds.
If in the 1960s Danes (丹麦人) thought of the car as a sign of freedom, today the bicycle has
taken its place. Bicycle has become an important part of people's life, even
politicians ride bikes to work.
It is on crowded Noerrebrogade the
busiest bicycle street in Europe, the city planners have
decided
to build the first Copenhagen's
environmentally friendly street. The jammed bike paths will be widened to four
meters on either side of the road.
"The idea is to make Noerrebrogade Europe's great cycling
street", says Andreas Rochl the Copenhagen
bicycle program manager who is also known as "Mr. Bike". But Rochl is
not satisfied with making life easier for cyclists in the city. He wants to get
people living in the countryside out of their cars and onto bikes too.
His goal is to push the percentage of countryside commuters cycling
to and from the city from today's 37 percent to more than 50 percent by 2015-
Within the city, 55 percent of commuters already travel by bike.
Already Copenhagen's
cycling environment is better than other European capitals with its bike paths
of more than 390 kilometers.

In August
2005. Mark Bent, 49, a businessman, first visited a village in Africa. He found people were too p 92 to have electric light. So he spent
$250,000 developing and producing a solar-powered flashlight (太阳能手电筒). "In places where is no
electricity or running water, having light at night is their d 93 . I will try my test to help
them," said Bent
The solar-powered flashlight gets power from the sunlight and can
last for 7 hours every night. People just put three AA batteries (蓄电池) in it. The batteries are o 94 80 cents.
Over the last year. Rent said, he and his friends have sent 10,500
flashlights to many refugees (难民). In a refugee camp, a refugee named Peter Gatkuoth wrote about the
i 95 of the solar flashlight.
"If we meet a thief, we will turn on our solar flashlight and the thief
will run away. If a person is s 96 at night, we will use the
flashlight to take him to the health center. If wild animals come close to me,
I will use the light to f 97 them away. Others said the
lights were hung above school desks for children and adults to study after a
day's work.
With a little research, Bent found that nearly two billion people
around the world live without electric light. A lot of children have breathing p
98 , in part because of the use of wood
and candles for light in their small homes.

Once upon
a time there lived a farmer. He earned money by selling the products from his
farm. He gave all his money to the poor people. So, the whole village respected
him. But he had a big problem in his farm. Whenever he spread seeds (种子) in his farm, the crows (乌鸦) would come and eat them up. He
was worried about this trouble as he got less money from his farm.
"I must do something about the crows. I will be in deep trouble
if I do not stop these crows," he thought. He complained about this
problem to his friends. They gave him an idea to get rid of the crows. "Go
to the town and buy a large net. Trap (设陷并捕获) the crows in the net with some grains (谷粒)."
So the next day. the farmer bought a net and some grains. He placed
the net on the farm and spread the grain over it Then he went and hid himself.
Soon the crows came to the fields to pick the grains. They were
there. "More grains! That farmer is indeed a foot he does not seem to
learn," said the crows to each other. And they laughed among themselves.
But suddenly they found that they were trapped. Then, the farmer was standing
over the crows. "Aha! Finally. I have got you all. For the loss you have
caused me, I will put you all to death."
Suddenly the farmer heard a weak voice among the noises of the
crows. There was a pigeon (鸽子) among the crows. Both the pigeon and the bad crows were in the net
The pigeon said, "Mr. Farmer, please let me go. You are angry with the
crows, not with me."
The farmer said. "But you too have been caught stealing from my
farm. I will not let you go," said the farmer. The pigeon had to pay a
heavy price for being in the wrong group. The farmer killed all the birds in
his net including the pigeon. After that day, he was happy with his farm and he
earned as much money as before.
