Children often go to school by bike. Businessmen are going to their offices by bike, too. “The bicycle is easy to use,” says Kate, a teenager who likes going to school by bike. “And it is also very cheap. It is a good choice for people. You can buy one hundred bikes for the price of a small car. A bike doesnt use expensive petrol but runs on man power. And most bikes can be used for a long time.”

In the 21st century people dont get enough exercise. So I tell my patients to buy bikes. If you cycle to work, you can save petrol and money, improve your health, and also save time. In big cities, its quicker to travel by bike than by bus or by car.”

Once we did not think about the protection of our environment. There werent many people on the earth before, but now more and more people live here and there. The world has become too crowded. Our natural resources seem to be limited. More and more resources will be used up, and more and more pollutions will make us live in danger.

There is a tree behind my house. Every day, I can hear birds sing in the tree.
One day, I was playing under the tree. (36) 突然我聽見附近有小鳥的聲音。Then I found two baby birds on the ground. I thought they must have fallen off the tree. So I decided to help them get back to their nest.
Just at that time, I saw their parents come back with some food in their mouths. To my surprise, they didnt put the food near the babies but far away from them. (37) To get the food, the babies had to fly to it.
Then I heard the cry of another baby bird. She was still in the nest in the tree. (38) 她不敢離開鳥巢去獲得食物。Though the little bird was very hungry, her parents just stood there and did nothing. Having no choice, the baby bird went to the edge of the nest and looked down. (39) But she went back because she was too afraid.
After a while, she took all her courage and flew off from the nest. I could hear her cry as she flew. But she landed safely on the ground and got the food. What the birds did tells us (40) 如果我們想讓夢(mèng)想實(shí)現(xiàn), we must struggle for it.
