Now the traffic in cities is very terrible. Sometimes you will find it's very slow to take a car. So bikes are popular with people in some big cities. They think it's much faster to ride a bike. What's more, riding bikes is good for our health. It can make us much stronger. We can be greener people if we often ride a bike to work.

But bikes can have some problems, too. A bicyclist must be very careful when he rides on the road. Bikes are called a kind of transport (交通工具), so a bicyclist must obey (遵守) the rules of the road like car drivers. Bike riders are so easy to get hurt because the traffic is always heavy in the city, so they should wear a fine bicycle helmet (头盔) to keep from the danger of hurting.

If a bicyclist wants to know more about traffic rules, he should go to the traffic station. That's the best way to keep him safe.

It’s a cold, grey Sunday afternoon in March. The light is slowly fading, but all over Britain people are working in their gardens. They’re digging, cutting leaves and planting new weeds. By summer, their gardens will be full of bright colors.

The British love their gardens. A British newspaper recently asked people for their opinions about them. Seventy percent of people felt it was important to spend time in the garden, and over half of these described gardening as the most enjoyable thing they ever did.

Only one in ten houses in Britain do not have a garden. You can, of course, just grow house plants inside or on your balcony.

Once it was only the very wealthy who had a garden. You can still see the huge gardens that surround historic houses such as Chatsworth House or Castle Howard. Ordinary people used their land to produce food to eat or sell, or grew herbs to make medicine.

In the nineteenth century, however, gardening became a hobby. About the same time, better transport meant people could buy different kinds of seeds and plants for their gardens. Although roses, sunflowers, onions and tomatoes are often grown in British gardens, they grew wild in other countries before.

In many villages and towns there are competitions for the best looked-after gardens. This year the winner was a little village in Northern Ireland. It’s already won four prizes for its beauty. People also take part in competitions to grow the largest vegetables, but don’t expect to win. Britain’s biggest carrot is almost six meters long!
