Kids’ birthday parties are more fun than adults’ parties. You don't have to be serious and there are a few things for parents to remember when they want to have one for their kids.
Make a list. Each kid wants different kinds of parties. Write down all your kid’s ideas on a piece of paper and then get things ready according to the list.
Make invitations. Make sure you won't have the party at the same time as your child's soccer game. Make sure you write down the name of each guest. So you will know the number of things you have to prepare such as chairs and plates.
Buy something. If you go to a party store, they will have everything you need and you won't have to go to different stores to get everything ready.
You need to decide whether to buy a cake or make one. Decide what kind of food to have. Make sure to get the food ready on time.

In China, people’s living conditions in the cities have changed a lot in the ways of transportation（交通） in the past fifty years. A survey shows that the number of people riding a bike or walking is always decreasing. In 1974, more than 50% of people traveled to work on their own bikes, while by 2014, less than 20% of travelers preferred cycling or walking to work. Now the number becomes much smaller.
At the same time, there was a large increase in the use of cars. In 1974, very few people had a car. By 1994, about a quarter of travelers drove to work. This increased again, until 2014, about one third of travelers drove to work.
What has caused these changes? The main reason is that people’s living conditions have changed greatly. With the increasing number of people going by bus or car, fewer and fewer people would like to be cyclists or walkers.
As people enjoyed the convenience（便利）and speed of buses and cars, they are less likely to have patience and interest in cycling and walking. In the future, with the development of science and technology, more changes will happen in people’s everyday lives.

【推荐3】Many of you have probably had this experience: You get on a train and are ready to take a rest or read a book, only to find that the passenger in front of you is watching a TV show on his pad without earphones. The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip.
Wish the train could be less noisy? There might be good news for you. The Bejing-Shanghai high- speed rail lines will have “quiet” carriages(车厢) starting from Dec 23.
In quiet carriages, videos on the train will be kept quiet and notices will be given at a lower volume (音量). Doors at the end of the carriage will be kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages. Train workers will make sure that passengers remain quiet and follow the rules. Passengers who promise to follow the rules can choose the quiet carriages when book ing their tickets.
Although many Internet users are in favor of the new service, there has also been a hot discussion. Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages because having quiet carriages might make people feel that they don’t need to be quiet in non - quiet carriages. Besides, people just wonder how quiet they should be in quiet carriages and they may have questions such as “What if I snore(打呼噜)?” and “Can we talk to our friends if we need to?”
