If you go to London you will see a lot of buses and cars on the road. You’ll also see lots of bikes because more and more people travel by bike. Why?
There are a lot of reasons for this. First, it is very cheap to buy a bike. And then people have to wait for a bus for half an hour. Finally, after you get on the bus, there are so many other buses and cars on the road that the bus moves very slowly.
I traveled to work by bus for about four years. l often arrived at work late and felt tired. Then one day, about two years ago, a friend of mine said, “I go to work by bike every day. Please come and join me.” “But my bike is old, and there are so many buses and cars on the road. I’ll feel frightened.” I answered. “You needn’t feel afraid. If you follow me and we ride slowly, you will be fine,” he said.
The next day I bought a new bike. Although we went slowly, we arrived at work soon. It took 40 minutes to go to work by bus, but only half an hour by bike.
Now I like riding a bike to work. I ride very slowly but I arrive at work quickly. I’ve saved a little money and I feel healthy. Many people think my idea is good and maybe you can see more bikes on the roads in London.

【推荐1】In London, there has always been a main problem. In order to solve this problem, the government has decided to have a bike revolution(革命). It has decided to provide 6,000 bikes for the people to rent. The government encourages local people to ride bikes in order to solve the traffic problem.
More than 12,000 people have agreed to the idea. Some of them ask for more than one key. Although there are not enough bikes, an official(官员) from the government said that they would find some ways to deal with such a shortage.
Local people can get these bikes at special docking stations(停靠站). There are about 315 docking stations across the city. About 12,450 keys have already been handed out to the local people, but only 6,000 keys can be used now.
Let’s see the cost you need to pay. One key costs ￡3, and the cost of using the bike is ￡1 for an hour. The cost per hour increases as the hours increase, so it will cost ￡50 if you rent the bike for 24 hours.
The official from the government said they also needed to face a lot of problems, for example, some bikes may be lost. But they said they would try their best to solve all the problems to make sure the success of the program.

Many people drive their cars to school or work now. So there are lots of cars on the streets. Sometimes, it's not easy for you to get to school or work on time(准时). Then you want to take a plane to school or work. Can your dream come true? Yes!
Four people in Germany(德国) make a new plane—Lilium Jet. It doesn't look like a plane but an egg. Many people think it looks funny. The nice “egg” can take two people and “run” about three hundred kilometers an hour.
The Lilium Jet is not very big. So it doesn't need an airport(机场). A small place is OK.
Some people also call the Lilium Jet “a flying car”. It's not difficult for you to learn to drive it. You can drive it like driving a car.
Maybe you can buy one in 2018 if you like it. I'm sure your trip to school or work will be great.

【推荐1】Manners
David stood up and smiled at the older lady who was getting on the bus, letting her know that he was giving her his seat. She thanked him and sat down with her grocery bags on the floor in front of her.
“Thank you, young man,” she said. “Where did you learn such nice manners(礼貌)?”
“My parents,” said David.
“Well, they taught you well,” said the lady. “What’s your name?”
“David, ma’am.”
“You even say ma’am!” she exclaimed(惊呼). “I’m Mrs. Watson. Pleased to meet you, David.”
“Me, too, ma’am,” answered David.
At the next stop, the person next to Mrs. Watson got off the bus. “Here, son,” she said to David.
“Have a seat.”
Once David was seated, Mrs. Watson looked at him and asked, “What else did your parents teach you about manners?”
“They taught me about saying ‘yes, ma’am’ and ‘no, sir’—and ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and’you’re welcome’, of course,” answered David. “And they taught me to address grown-ups by their last names, like ‘Mr. or Mrs. Smith’.”
“Good,” said Mrs. Watson. Nodding her head in approval(赞同). “Did they teach you about opening doors for other people?”
“Yes, ma’am, they did,” said David. “The other kids look at me funny sometimes when I open doors for them, but I don’t mind. Grown-ups always like it.”
“Well, you keep opening doors for the other kids, David,” said Mrs. Watson.
“You’re setting a good example for them.”
The next bus stop was in front of the city library. “This is where I get off,” said David, standing up. “It was nice to meet you.” A young woman came toward the back door, and David walked aside to let her pass.
“This is my stop, too,” said Mrs. Watson. “I live near the library.”
As Mrs. Watson stood to move, she stumbled(蹒跚) a bit.
“May I hold your bags while you get off the bus?” asked David, stepping forward to help. “That would be very nice. Thank you, David,” said Mrs. Watson.

We left for Tamarindo at 6 a.m. and arrived at about 10 a. m. As soon as we got to the hotel, we bought some ice cream to eat. It was too hot. Then we had a good sleep. In the afternoon, we began to enjoy our great trip. We played beach volleyball on the beach for one hour and then swam in the swimming pool of the hotel. Before dinner we watched the sunset (日落). It was beautiful and we told stories about our lives and talked about our dreams. It was a cool day for all of us.
The next morning we rode bikes to another beach. We took many funny pictures along the way. When we rode to the Conchal Beach, we spent the rest time of the day there. The Conchal Beach was very beautiful and there were not many people. We went fishing in the afternoon and watched stars on the beach at night. We felt tired but happy on the second day.
