A bicycle may be seen by most people     1     just another vehicle, but for many Londoners, cycling is a way of life. According to an official UK government survey     2     （conduct）in 2017, about 570,000 bike journeys are made every day in London. As     3     matter of fact, almost half of the vehicles that ass over London Bridge each day are bikes.

London     4     （introduce）a public bike-sharing system in 2010. In London, bikes are used for more than simply taking short trips to and from the subway.     5     （actual）, no matter where you want to go in the city,     6     （take）a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.

And not just the government encourages people to ride shared bikes. Many     7     （company）across the UK allow employees     8     （buy）new bikes without having to pay any tax. No wonder it is very common to see many people cycling to and from work.     9     is the most surprising is that you won’t receive punishment for being late if you are lucky enough to have a cycle-friendly boss.

Not only is cycling great for the environment and our body it is also     10     （benefit）to riders’ mental health. Bike riding can bring people more happiness.

【推荐2】Drunk driving, a major concern currently, is not a funny thing,     1    has killed many people and ruined the lives of many others. At present, traffic accidents become ＂the world’s first harm＂.

Two months ago, after     2    (drink) a lot of alcohol, my friend’s uncle drove his car home. He was     3    (heavy) drunk, but he still drove home by     4    . On the road near his home, an old lady was going across the road,     5     his uncle didn’t notice her and he was still moving on under the influence of alcohol. And the old lady didn’t see his uncle, either. In the end, the lady died.

    6     it not been for his uncle’s drunkenness, the terrible accident would not have happened. If the lady hadn’t died, she     7     live a happy life with her daughters and sons. And his uncle’s home was also destroyed by his uncle. Therefore, two     8    (family) were destroyed.

I wish more people     9    (can) realize the seriousness of drunk driving and obey the traffic regulations faithfully. Always remember: refuse     10    (drink) and drive, and give a safe world to you and me!

China used to be called the “Kingdom of Bicycles” in the 1980s and the 1990s, but since then, cars     1     (take) over the country. Because of traffic jams,     2     can be difficult to travel across major Chinese cities. Even     3     (go) a few kilometers can take up to an hour. Now, new apps that help people use bikes are being used more and more across cities.

Cheng Li started using bike share services about six     4     (month) ago. He said now he was using a car less and the metro (地铁)     5    . “After I get off the metro, I usually have to walk another kilometer or two, so I’ll grab a bike share and go. It is convenient.”

For many, it is great to have shared bikes.     6    , many of its bike share stations were not placed in convenient places. Now, it is easy to find a bike, and to register with     7     smartphone.

Meanwhile, there is now a lot of     8     (compete) among bike ——sharing providers because of their     9     (popular). Some providers are trying to flood the streets with bikes to be more visible. Sometimes there are so many bikes that they     10     (complete) block the sidewalks.
