Is traffic a big problem where you live? Increased cycling may be the answer. Where are the best places to live and cycle? A new report lists the best bike-friendly cities around the world.

Amsterdam is the bike capital of the world. There's an extensive network of safe, fast and comfortable cycle routes. Copenhagen is a city where 32% of workers cycle to work because it's fast and easy. Berlin is another European city that's great for cycling. The city has about 80 kilometers of bike lanes ( 車道 ), and 50 kilometers of pavement paths.

Barcelona has been praised for its cycle service "Bicing". This was introduced in March, 2007. It's a bicycle service that allows users to take bicycles from any of the 100 stations spread around the city. Later, they can leave them at any other bike station inside the urban area of the city. The city has created a "green ring" that surrounds the city area of Barcelona with a bike path. There are 3,250 parking spaces for bikes at street and it is also building a new underground car park for bicycles.

The UK has its cycle-friendly cities too. Bristol is the birthplace of the cycle-route charity which was formed 30 years ago. One of their projects was turning an old rail line between Bristol and Bath into a bike route. Other bike-friendly cities in the UK include Cambridge and York. Cambridge is an old city but has still managed to build good cycle systems and services.

The bicycle is a most popular transportation in China. Beijing can be one of the best bike-friendly cities in China. There are many riding routes in Beijing for outdoor-lovers to explore. Cyclists can get close enough to experience the history and culture of Beijing, including the Forbidden City, Drum Tower, the Water Cube, the Bird's Nest, Hutong etc.

If you are tired and do not win,

Never stop, for crying;

All that’s great and good is done

Just by patient trying.

Though young birds, in flying, fall,

Still their wings grow stronger;

And the next time they can keep

Up a little longer.

Though the strong oak（橡樹）knows

Many a blast that lowed her,

She rises again, and grows

Loftier and prouder.

Who the more will prize you?

Getting victory from failure ——

That’s the test that tries you!

In time, Catherine got it. By the time she graduated ( 畢業(yè) ) from eighth grade, she was reading almost at grade level. She continued _______ and was reading above grade level when she graduated from high school.

Tina woke up at midnight. She looked out of her window and saw a yellow light in the sky. It suddenly flew towards the ground. She heard a noise and saw a red light.

The next morning, Tina told it to her brother Tom. “I’m sure something landed in the forest near the mountains as I heard a loud noise last night,” she said. “Let’s find out after school.”

At 6 p.m. Tina and Tom reached the forest. They heard some voices speaking a strange language, so they hid behind some little trees and kept quiet then they saw an alien (外星人)!
