Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.

In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It’s very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code(代码) on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What’s more, the greatest advantage of bike-sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn’t cost so much, does it?

At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don’t value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.

Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing brings us more convenience without doubt. And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.

Last weekend after a quick lunch at a snack bar, I still had some extra (外的)time before going through security (安全措施)to catch my flight to Not knowing what to do,I then decided it was the perfect time and place to look for an act of kindness to do.

There was a girl having flowers for sale. I told her that Fd like to buy flowers for someone else, and she could decide who to give them to. She looked a little confused,so I suggested perhaps she should give flowers to someone who looked a little sad. That was because he or she might need cheering up.

At first, the girl answered,“That’s crazy.99 But then I explained a little more about the idea of doing something kind for a stranger ? and she understood.

“I’ll never know how it turns out,” I said,“but you will have the chance to make someone’s good day. ” At that time,she seemed excited about it.

She went to take the flowers out of the water they were sitting in, and I explained,“It’s fine to leave them in the water until the person who you want to give them comes”

At that point, I thought she was between surprised and happy, because it might be her first time to meet a customer like me, I paid for the flowers, said goodbye, and joined the security line.
