With the average life expectancy increasing every year, you might expect that there would be plenty of opportunities for younger people to tap into the knowledge that their older relatives have. However, recent YouGov research has found that just 35 percent of Brits know a lot about their grandparents, while 56 percent know very little and 8 percent know absolutely nothing. A lack of time is most probably the biggest reason for this sad reality. However, LifeBook can help change that by helping you share your knowledge and memories so they can be remembered for years to come.
You will receive regular face-to-face interviews over three to four months — the interviewer will record all the meetings and help you select and caption photographs for your LifeBook. Our professional writers will transform these recordings into the written word and capture your “voice”. You will have your very own project manager to help guide you through your experience.
The finished books will be hand-crafted and feature up to 160 pages including up to 60 photographs illustrating your life stories. Call us on 0800 999 2280 and quote NY2017 to take advantage of our special New Year offer: 5 Free Books worth £300 or Free Champagne Book Signing for up to 20 people when your book is complete.
We believe everybody has a story to tell and let us help you tell yours.

【推荐2】The ebike has become an essential item, and even the King has been spotted riding one. According to the market research company Mintel, sales have almost tripled over the past five years. While ebikes have become increasingly commonplace, they are still undeniably expensive. You can pick up a perfectly adequate pushbike for £300, but most ebikes cost over £2,000. Now, Cycling Electric, designed to help consumers choose an ebike, offers the following recommendations.
Best folding bike
Carbo Model X
Price: £ 2,799|Weight: 13.3kg
Range: up to 34 miles
This is one of the most convenient bikes, from a little-known label. The lightweight Carbo X is the perfect example of convenience thanks to its carbon frame and belt drive, instead of a metal bike chain. This makes it lighter and less likely to get messy than an electric Brompton, with its more traditional, oil y chain.
Most stylish
Temple Cycles Classic
Price: from £ 2,995|Weight: 19kg
Range: up to 74 miles
This Bristol-based brand is known for its elegant pushbikes, which are hand-built in the city. This is its electric version. It’s a very sleek and functional commuter option and not too heavy. Temples have fewer proprietary (品牌专卖的) parts and so are serviceable in an y bike shop. Stylish as they may be, the VanMoofs and the Cowboys can be a bit more complex to get back-up and service.
The money-no-object option
Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX
Price: £ 5,380|Weight: 28. 4kg
Range: up to 93 miles
This is a prime example of the attention to detail delivering a high-quality experience in functionality, comfort and practicality — if you can afford it. It has the capacity to handle 25kg of luggage in a pannier, powerful road lights and a beautifully smooth motor.
1. What is the advantage of the Temples over other stylish ebike brands?| A．They are more light weight. | B．They are more comfortable. |
| C．They have more functions. | D．They have easier access to service. |
| A．Carbo Model X. | B．Riese & Müller Nevo4 GT Vario GX. |
| C．Temple Cycles Classic. | D．The VanMoofs and the Cowboys. |
| A．A magazine column. | B．A store advertisement. |
| C．An official document. | D．A market research report. |

【推荐3】The Classic Road Trip is more popular than ever. Here are several places to hit the open road.
(1) Colo-road Trips The Colorado Tourism Office has made it easy for road-trippers to explore the state’s 24 Scenic Historic Byways. A new microsite includes an interactive map that enables travelers to explore options by region, interest or season. Travelers seeking inspiration can also access insider tips and side-trip suggestions within more than 150 Colo-road Trip itineraries（行程）. The flexible itineraries offer suggestions for historic attractive adventures and highlight cultural opportunities. |
(2) The Beartooth Highway Visitors who travel this extraordinary path experience the visual landscape of Montana, Wyoming and Yellowstone Park home to the Absaroka and Beartooth mountains. The windy, cliff-hugging 68-mile stretch introduces road explorers to one of the most diverse ecosystems accessible by vehicle. Amazingly beautiful, this American Road displays wide highlands, painted with patches of ice blue lakes, forested valleys, waterfalls and wildlife. |

Take a day or several to explore the region that has caned three-fold recognition as a Forest Service Scenic Byway, an Alaskan Scenic Byway and an All-American Road. The drive begins at the base of the Chugach Mountains, hugs the scenic shores of Turnagain Arm and winds through mining towns, national forests and fishing villages as you imagine how explorers, fur traders and gold miners might have fared back in the day of waterfalls and glaciers（冰川）, hunting eagles, moose（驼鹿）and some bears. |
