A gentleman once wanted for a boy to help him in his office, and over fifty persons asked for the job. Out of the whole number he chose one in a short time, and sent all the other boys away.

“I’d like to know why you chose that boy,” said a friend, “he didn't even have a recommendation（推荐信）with him.”

“You are mistaken,”said the gentleman, “he had a great many.

“He made his shoes clean when he came in, and closed the door after him; showing that he was orderly（井然有序的)．

“He gave his seat to the disabled old man; showing that he was kind.

“He took off his cap when he came in, and answered my questions quickly and respectfully; showing that he was polite.

“He lifted up the book which I had laid on the floor, and put it on the table, while all the others stepped over it or pushed it aside; showing that he was careful.

“And he waited quietly for his turn, instead of pushing the others aside; showing that he was modest (谦逊的 ) .

“When I talked with him, I noticed that his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice order, and his teeth as white as milk. When he wrote his name, I noticed that his fingernails were clean; instead of having some untidy personal habits.

“Don't you call these things letters of recommendation? I do; and the things that I can discover a boy by using my eyes for ten minutes, is worth more than all the fine letters that he can bring.”

Some books were left untouched. Around the underground, passengers thought the books were left there to save the seats. Some books were taken away by cleaners. People also complained that they couldn’t get to the books—the trains and buses were too crowded.

The movement led to a hot debate.

Most people thought it could do little to encourage reading. “I think the best result is that people take photos when they pick up the books and write a post in WeChat. After that, they will just bring the books back home and place them on their bookshelves,” wrote one Weibo user.

Some pointed out that, the Chinese stars who supported the movement didn’t seem to be reading much. Isn’t it embarrassing(尴尬) that the movement is supported by stars who don’t read a lot?

Murong Xuecun is a famous Chinese writer. He thought the book-sharing movement was not at all a bad thing. “In the past years, the Chinese economy(经济) has been developing rapidly. Everybody is busy with work. They don’t have time for reading,” said Murong. “However, just because Chinese people don’t read often, it doesn’t mean we should do nothing to encourage reading,” Murong added.

It is China’s new Super Bus. It is going for a test run in Beijing at the end of this year. Some other cities are also interested in running the Super Bus. They hope the traffic problems will be solved.

The Super Bus runs along fixed tracks (固定轨道) . The bus sits on top of two 2.2-meter-tall legs. The legs have wheels at one end. Small cars can drive under the bus, so the Super Bus does not take up road space.

The bus runs on electricity and solar power. It can travel up to 60 km every hour. Its creator, Song Youzhou, says a lot of traffic jams will be reduced.

The Super Bus can do the work of 40 buses. In that way, it can save 860 tons of fuel (燃料) every year, according to Song.

“To build a Super Bus and its track costs less than building subways. Subways are nearly ten times more expensive to build.” Song said.

Some people worry that the Super Bus may not be safe. However, Song says there’s no need to worry about. The Super Bus has laser scanners (激光扫描仪) between its legs. The scanners make sure the cars keep a safe distance(距离).
