•About 50% of all car journeys are just for fun．
•Over 80% people go to work by car．
•25% car journeys are under two miles．
•70% car journeys are under five miles．
WALKING & CYCLING

Instead of using the car for short journeys，why not walk or ride a bicycle？Walking is the most popular form of exercise-it's healthy and it can save money．If you work nearby，try walking or cycling instead of driving．Walking your children to school gives them valuable road experience．

BUSES
Bus companies are using new buses：some run on new fuels which produce less pollution； some have easier access（通路）for disabled and old people．There are special traffic lanes （行车道） to make bus journeys easier．So do something to help solve the pollution problem-let the bus take you to work and your children to school．
TRAINS

All car journeys，long or short，can be hard work．For some trips，it is wiser to take the train．Leave your car at home and walk，cycle or take a bus to and from the station．Train travel is fast，safe and comfortable．Train tickets are not always expensive．

9．I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people．It would be hard to find a person who is neutral （中立的），or simply doesn't care one way or the other．What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear．
Snakes are quite useful，but that doesn't seem to matter．Snakes help control the population of mice．Without snakes，perhaps we would find mice everywhere．Most of us，however，would rather see a mouse than a snake．
The poison argument （毒性的争论） is a strong one．Some snakes are poisonous，and this causes people's death．However，the poisonous snakes are only a small number．We can't say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones．
And what do we do with the people who really like snakes They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them．These people learn about them，find them out，and watch them carefully．Why？The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded．They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend．
Whatever the reason for our like or dislike，snakes do something good in the circle of life．They would prefer to be left alone，and that is what we should do．If you're lucky，you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime．That would be fine with most of us．

8．Born into a farmer's family，life was not easy when I was a kid．We were so poor that we often did not know where our next meal was coming from．I had to sell cabbages at the marketplace to support my family．
A storyteller once came to the marketplace，and I went to listen to him．My mother was unhappy with me for forgetting my job．But that night，while she was making clothes for us under the weak light of an oil lamp，I couldn't help retelling stories I'd heard that day．She listened impatiently at first，since in her eyes professional（职业的）storytellers were smooth-talking men-nothing good ever came out of their mouths．But slowly she was attracted by my retold stories，and from that day on，she never gave me any task on market days，unspoken agreement to enjoy new stories．As a repayment（回报）for Mother's kindness and a way to show off my memory，I'd retell the stories for her in lively detail．Soon，she wasn't the only member of my audience，which later included my elder sisters，my aunts，even my stubborn grandmother．
I knew she was worried about me．Talkative kids are not well thought of in our village，for they can bring trouble to themselves and to their families when they talk too much．Mother often reminded me not to talk so much，wanting me to be a silent and modest teenager．However，my natural desire（渴望）to talk never went away，and that is what makes my name-Mo Yan，which means‘no speaking'．This strong wish to talk also improved my ability to express myself，which is important for writers who are also considered as storytellers．

5．You either have it，or you don't-a sense of direction．But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others will lose themselves in the next street？
Scientists say we're all born with a sense of direction，but it is not properly
understood how it works．One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it．Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don't use it，we lose it．
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around，"says Jim Maryland，research director of the project．"However，if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car，they never develop the skills．"
Jim Maryland also emphasizes（强调）that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction．He makes the following suggestions：
If you are using a map，turn it so that it relates to the way you are facing．
If you leave your bike in a strange place，put it near something like a big stone or a tree--something easy to recognize（认出）．Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike．When you return，go back along the same route．
Simplify（简化）the way for finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town，streams，or wells in the countryside to guide you．Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are．
Now you will never get lost again!

Some researchers once did some surveys and have proved it is true．They say that singing can bring a number of health benefits（好处）．If you sing with your friends，the effects（效果） may be even better．
John Lennon is a retired professor of Vocal Performance at Emporia State University．He says，"Singing is an inborn（天生的） need．Babies sing to themselves and they seem so happy．Like babies，when we sing，we feel so good and singing makes us feel even better．I like singing and I am happy every day．"
Music is a part of human nature．And singing is a form of expression that is understood by everyone．Some people say that music is like a kind of language．The language can show people's opinions and attitudes to their life．Some songs can cheer people up when they are in trouble．Some songs can make people happy and excited．That's why the TV show The Voice of China is popular among people．

3．Most people want to be happy，but few know how to find happiness．Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness．Aristotle，a Greek thinker，said，"Happiness depends upon ourselves．"In other words，we make our own happiness．Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier．
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life．Too often，we spend so much time thinking about the future-for example，getting into college or getting a good job-that we fail to enjoy the present．You should enjoy life's simple pleasures，such as reading a good book，listening to your favorite music，or spending time with close friends．People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives．
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active，and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time．Many people experience this dancing，or playing a sport，such as swimming．You can forget about your problems，and only think about the activity．Finally，many people find happiness in helping others．Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others．If you want to feel happier，do good things for someone．You can help a friend with his or her studies，go shopping to buy food for an elderly person，or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes．
