There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man came home and played with the little boy. He always spent all of his extra time playing with the little boy.

One night,the man had extra work to do,and he wouldn't be able to play with his little boy. But he wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. So he looked around his office,and saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He tore (街破) the map up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.

When he got home,the little boy came to him and was ready to play. The man said that he had extra work to do and couldn't play just now. He took out all the pieces of the map,and said, "It is a map of the world. By the time you put it back together,my extra work will be finished,and then we can play together."Surely this would keep the child busy for hours,he thought.

About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said,"Okay,it's finished. Can we play now?"

The man was astonished and said, "That's impossible. Let's go and see. " But sure enough,there was the picture of the world,and every piece was in its place.

The man asked, uHow did you do that?" The boy said,"It was simple. On the back of the map was a picture of a man. When I put the man together, the whole world fell into place."

(   ) 6. How was the relationship between that man and his son?

   A. Very closed. B. Friendly.

   C. A little strange. D. Cold.

(   ) 7. What did the man want his son to do one evening?

Hello,my name's Xiao Jingwen. You can call me Irene. Fm 14 years old. I was born inChina. I used to live in Wuhan,Hubei. Now I am in Year 10        at Park side Community College,a school in Cambridge,UK. I'll tell you about the fun things I do in this country.

I like cycling,especially here in the UK. I live in Cambridge,where I can get anywhere on my bike. But biking in theUKis a different experience from biking inChina.

First of all,you have to ride on the left hand side of the road,not the right as you do in China. It was quite a challenge for me when I got here.

Once when I was on my bike I heard someone yell at me ," Wrong side!Wrong side!" I didn't get it first but then I saw the cars rushing by me. I was scared. Thank God,nothing crashed into me!

UK bikes have something Chinese bikes don't: lights. A white light at the front and a red one at the back. They are for safety when you're riding in the dark. If you don't have your lights on and the police stop you,you can be fined (罰款) .

You also need bicycle clips (裝備) for your trousers and a helmet (頭盔) .The clips are to stop your trousers getting caught in the chain.

Some people also have a milometer (計(jì)程表) on the handlebars (車(chē)把) .It shows them how many miles they have traveled.

But Chinese bikes have somethingUKbikes don't. In China,there are stands at the backs of bikes. You don't see those in theUK.

This means people can't just leave their bikes anywhere. There are special parks where you leave your bike. Smart,isn't it?
