7 . Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson Arizona. My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him, as a schoolgirl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone were my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day, my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in doing so, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

8 . Four Bike-Friendly Cities
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
With more bikes than people, the city is structured with cyclists in mind. Low-speed limits in the centre limit the impact of cars, while bike racks on public transport make it easy to travel long distances, Rental shops are everywhere. The terrain (地热) is famously flat, and an online bike route planner makes it easy.
Berlin, Germany
With over 1, 000 km of bike paths, the vast majority of which are protected lanes. It’s no wonder Berliners love to get around by bike. For the traveller, the major sights are within easy reach on a bicycle. The “Call A Bike ”share system allows you to simply lock the bike to any fixed object and call in a code to “return’ it.
Paris, France
Home to the Velib’ public bike sharing system that has over 20, 000 bikes, and with 500 km of bike paths, Paris cyclists can enjoy the city safe from motorists. A Velib’ stationis almost always within sight, or just around the next corner.
Tokyo, Japan
Despite being home to one of the most expansive public transport networks on the planet, Tokyo residents still cycle in large numbers. Though the extent of bike lanes is limited, safe drivers ease the tension between car and cyclist. Unique automatic underground bike parking garages are provided when you need to store your bike.
