If the traffic lights are red, the traffic must stop. Then people on foot can cross the road. If the traffic lights are green, the traffic can go. People mustn’t cross. When you go by bus in the UK, you have to be careful, too. Always remember the traffic runs on the left. Have a look first, or you will go the wrong way. In many English cities, there are double-deckers(双层公共汽车).

You can sit on the second deck. It’s a good way to see the city. It’s very interesting.

THERE is something romantic about riding on two wheels. You see the beautiful sights around you without windows in your way, you hear the noise of the bike riding right under your seat, and you even get the feeling of flying and freedom.

To maintain social distance to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the two-wheel business, has once again been a boom around the world. Some love to cycle for the speed, some for the fitness, some for the friendship, some for the freedom and others for the environmental protection. Now China, America, England and many other countries added much wider bike lanes for people to cycle, according to the market research company NPD Group.

Even so, there are still some rules we have to follow. Take Netherlands for example, the Netherlands is famous for its cycling culture and there are many cycling rules in the Netherlands. Let’s take a look at some of them.

☆Rule 1: You must have one white or yellow light on the front of your bike, and a red one on the back. After the sun sets, you must turn them on.

☆Rule 2: It’s not a must to wear a helmet while riding, but it’s highly recommended.

☆Rule 3: You may not use your mobile phone while riding a bike.

☆Rule 4: Two cyclists can ride side by side, but they must make room for those who want to pass them.

One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom (智慧). The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most. So each person put a bit in his basket and wished him good luck.

Soon his basket was full, but Anansi was worried that his neighbors might be jealous (嫉妒的) of his wisdom and take it from him. He decided to hide it at the top of a tall tree. When he had tied the basket to the front part of his body, he tried to climb the tree, but it was too difficult. He tried again and again without success.

Then his youngest son walked by. “What are you doing, Dad?” he asked and Anansi told him. “Why don’t you carry the basket on your back instead?” his son said.

Anansi put the basket on his back and climbed the tree easily, but he wasn’t happy. “I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever, but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!” he said. And he threw the basket of wisdom into the air and went home. And that’s how wisdom went all over the world.

As a child born in 1947 in Austria, Schwarzenegger had watched movies about Hercules (赫拉克勒斯，大力神) and dreamed of being as big as the heroes he saw on the screen. Schwarzenegger began working on his dream when he was a teenager, exercising and weightlifting nonstop. As a young man he would take part in the biggest bodybuilding competitions in the world, winning the titles of Mr Universe five times and Mr Olympia seven times.

At the height of his bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger decided to try and break into Hollywood. He moved to the US with little money, knowing hardly any English. But he worked tirelessly on learning the language and acting.

He wasn’t welcomed into Hollywood with open arms, being told his accent wouldn’t work, his name was too long and that his body was too big. “… Everyone said…‘You will never become a leading man’,” Schwarzenegger said in an interview with Virgin Radio UK.

But Schwarzenegger wasn’t going to be held back. “I didn’t listen to the naysayers.” said Schwarzenegger, “…like Mandela always said, everything is impossible until someone does it. And that’s the way I feel.” Schwarzenegger went on to become the Governor (州长) of California in 2003 and ran for two terms before returning to the world of acting. He continues to act, runs exercise programs and has also written a number of books on personal fitness and achieving success.
