5、Archery (射箭) may be the oldest sport in the world. There are pre – historic drawings which show that bows and arrows were used 20 000 years ago. In early times, animals were always hunted and killed with bows and arrows. Good archers were very important when country fought against country. One of the most famous legends (传奇，传奇故事) in European history is the story of William Tell. He was a Swiss who refused to work for an Austrian, and was ordered to shoot and apple on the head of his son. He hit the apple, and then shot the Austrian. Switzerland has been free since then, so the story goes.

Archers shoot at targets at 30, 50, 70 or 90 meters’ distance from them. The targets are round 80 centimeters across, and have 5 circles painted round the center. Bows are made of steel, wood and strong plastic, and arrows of wood. The sport is enjoyed in the open sir in summer and in a building in winter. Archery is good for the chest, the arms and the back. Men and women can shoot together since being strong is not so important. Women usually use lighter bows. People who can’t walk or who have been ill can also enjoy it.

4、     Take a ride on Berlin's clean city trains, and you'll notice one thing: the German capital seems to be disappearing under a tide of graffiti.

     These are almost impossible to read or are fashionable names and fantastic pictures on walls, bridges, subway trains－almost any urban surface. To some people, they're an art form with an edge. They're rebellious (叛逆的), daring and even beautiful. To others, graffiti is nothing but a disease that slowly moves into neighborhoods.

     For most officials, the root of the problem is that German law does not treat graffiti as a crime and low-cost airlines have made Berlin a center for graffiti sprayers from all over Europe.

     In Berlin, annual damage caused by graffiti is estimated at 500 million euros.50 million euros are spent on cleaning up graffiti.

     Neighboring countries have far severer graffiti laws, according to a report in the Berliner Kurier newspaper. In Sweden and Norway, repeat offenders(冒犯者) can be given prison terms of up to four years and in Denmark up to six years. And US states put repeat offenders in serious cases in prison for longer terms.

     Under current German law, graffiti is only punishable if it can be proven that the spraying itself or the removal of the graffiti resulted in damages to the surface under it.

     "We have to clearly show most young people who do this that illegal spraying is punishable," said Karin Schubert, Berlin's social democratic justice minister. If so, it could make life more difficult for Germany's estimated 8,000 active graffiti artists.

     Graffiti used to be admired, especially when it appeared on the western side of the Berlin Wall.

2、         Getting to work in a big city is no easy matter, but one popular saying has a solution, "taking bus is too crowded, getting a taxi is too expensive, buying a car is not practical, better to share a car with others."

     Now arranging to car share, or car pool(共享), is easier than ever before, thanks to the proliferating (扩散) number of specialized companies and websites arriving on the scene as the popularity of car-pooling grows.

     Lots of car owners are opting (选择) to share their cars, due to the rising costs of gas. Not only does car pooling save them money, it also makes full use of their car and helps them make new friends.

     Participants get to enjoy the luxury of riding in a private car and save up to 70% of their transport costs.

     Car pooling also helps________ by decreasing the number of cars on the road and increasing the number of people in each car.

     Many countries, like Germany and Singapore, encourage their residents to car-pool by levying (征收) fines on any private cars found on the road at peak hour with just one driver.

     Zhang Guoqiang, who returned from abroad, raves (提倡) about car-pooling, saying it saves the owner money and economically solves the problem of how to get to work.

     But anyone thinking of trying this new form of transport should be aware that there are a number of issues they will need to resolve. Like what will happen if the car is late or if there is an accident. Who will protect the passengers' rights? As more and more people start to share their rides, the answers to these questions will become clearer.
