If you go to London, you can see a lot of buses and cars on the roads. You can also see many bikes because more people go out by bike. Why? There are many reasons. First, it is very cheap to buy a bike. Second, people often need to wait for a bus for half an hour. Finally, when the bus comes, there are so many other buses and cars on the roads. So the bus moves very slowly.
I go to work by bus for about four years. I often arrive at work late and feel tired. One day, a friend of mine says, “I go to work by bike. Why don’t we go to work together?” “My bike is old. I leave it at my home for a long time. And there are so many buses and cars on the roads.” I answer. “Don’t be afraid. If you follow me and we ride slowly, you’ll be fine.” He says.
Later, I buy a new bike. We ride slowly, but we arrive at work quickly. It takes me about 40 minutes to go to work by bus, but only half an hour by bike! Now I love riding a bike. 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】A “slow train” in southwest China with its own study room has attracted (吸引) much attention on the Internet. The “slow train” No. 5609/5610, which runs between Chongqing and Xiushan, provides students with a good learning environment while enjoying the beautiful views along the way.
In the carriages (车厢), some seats have been replaced by desks and chairs next to the windows to turn them into “study carriages” for passengers in need.
In addition to No. 5609/5610, other “slow trains” have been improved with “study carriages”, too. People from nearby schools often take the trains between schools and homes. They are the children’s best choice, and many students use the travel time to finish their homework.
On the train No. Z150, a new “book bar” carriage has been welcomed by college students. There are nearly 400 schools along the line, making the train No. Z150 the first choice for most students from those schools. Since 2015, the train’s dining car has been open for free at night to provide returning students with free tea and other services.

【推荐3】At the age of 19, an American student called Ron Steen decided to put a very unusual item up for sale on the website of eBay: his own future, that is 2% of the money that he will make after working. He needed the money to pay for his university studies. This was how he described the offer. “After I finish my education, I plan on making at least 30 million dollars in my lifetime. When I meet my goal, you will make six times more than you pay at the time."
Ron said the sale was a fantastic bargain(便宜货) because he was a very talented person: he was certain to become a millionaire. But some people had questions about the truth of his description. For example, he said his score in a national maths exam was 900 last year. In fact, his exam result was only 800 — so perhaps his maths was not so good! And in the end, eBay decided that his action was against the rules and stopped it. Ron’s father lent him the money for university. However, the story about Ron Steen: came out in the news on TV and the Internet all around the world. So perhaps he has a successful future in advertising!
