In China， most people ride bikes to school，or to work，or to places where they want to go．So China is called “kingdom of bicycles”．
But Americans are a people on the wheel．Wherever you go， you will see cars．There are so many cars that there is a traffic jam here and there．Now， more and more Americans would not consider it a healthy way of life．In fact， many Americans are strongly against the advancement of the wheel．We should encourage people to use less cars to save our environment and the energy．
Everyone wants to reduce pollution．But the pollution problem is very serious．People drive cars and the waste gas from them causes air pollution．On the other hand， the need for energy increases every day， and some sources of energy are running out． Oil will last for no more than 40 years， while coal could last another 300 years．The way we’re heading is towards a world where people are going to go cold and hungry．Now in China many rich men live away from downtown．On holidays they go to some big cities and places of interest．Most of them use their own cars．But China is a country with a population of over 1．3 billion．So， if you have enough money in the future，what will you do?

eBooks still some way away from students
Twelve-year-old Tang Yin is one of the earliest students to test a digital textbook in China. The boy said he was a little  11  when he received the monochromatic(單色的) flat device in April, 2010, because he thought it should be a “   12   cool” laptop. But Tan still cherishes(珍愛(ài)) his new equipment like “protecting my  13 ,” said the fifth grader. After all, not every student has the opportunity to  14  the eBook, which is worth $294 (￥2,000 yuan), he said.
The 50 eBooks,   15  by Taiwan eBook manufacturer Chuanqi Photoelectric Technology in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, enables one class at Yangzhou Sanyuanqiao Elementary School to be the   16  group of students in the Chinese mainland to replace their regular textbooks with   electronic ones. Out of 1000 students, Tang’s class was the lucky   17   .
“Our school could not   18  the project without the company’s donation,” said Yuan Shishan, vice-headmaster of the primary school.   19  the digital book is considered environmentally friendly, because it replaces paper books and saves money in the long run, the price is much higher than most Chinese   20  can afford. Also, some technical defects, the  21  of taking notes and monochromatic display, make the eBook fail to meet the expectations of students and teachers.
“There’s still a/an    22  way to go before the eBook really plays an important role in education,” said the headmaster.
According to Yuan, the annual average income of a   23   family in Yangzhou is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and neither the parents nor the school can afford the 2,000 yuan  24 book.
The school doesn’t allow the students to take their eBooks to their homes. The devices are  25  after class, and are locked in the headmaster’s office.

You are standing under the most famous neon lights in the centre of London, waiting to cross the road. Suddenly the traffic stops. You hear the distant sounds of cheering, clapping and shouting. Then, like a multi-colored train, 2, 000 people with wheels on their feet zoom past you. You have just witnessed the London Skate, a twice weekly roller-skate(溜旱冰) event that attracts people in their hundreds and thou-
sands London. Skate is a completely free tour of the streets of London -the only condition is that you go along on roller-skates. It lasts between two and three hours and by the end of it you have skated between 10 and 12 miles. The skate snakes round the streets of London along several different routes. Many of the routes pass by tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. Marshals (交通協(xié)調(diào)員) go ahe-  of the group, stopping the traffic so that people can skate as safely as possible. Everyone is welcome to take part and people from the age of 4 to 63 years old join the fun. "I love it very much, it is amazing. It feels just like a carnival (狂歡節(jié))，" said Celeste Beverage regular skater.
Roller-skating is really taking off across Europe and America. It is a very good way to keep fit and can be practised anywhere there is a smooth surface. Many big cities in Western Europe and in the US now ha- ve a regular group skating event. The biggest skates take place in Paris and Munich and tens of thousands of fans show up on warm evenings. "Roller-skating is taking over the world," said Julian Grenoble, a 25-   year-old ski shop employee from London. Grenoble went to the Paris-Roller (Paris skate) regularly until he moved to Britain.
"It's so exciting to skate in Paris. Everyone skates so fast and puts in their best efforts!" he said. The Paris Roller is well known because of the huge attendance, the presence of marshals and the police protection.

But things have changed. Now, Han is one of the most important players in China’s team. “I can’t wait to play. Life is short. You must make the most out of it,” Han always says like that. 
Han wants every possible honor that a football player can get — an Asian Cup, a World Cup and an Olympic medal. She has always been good at sports, especially swimming and horizontal bars. At school, she was the fastest in the 60m and 100m.
But the reason she picked football was that she wanted to get more compliments (稱(chēng)贊). “Football is for boys. But I feel more fulfilled when I can do better than them and win more compliments,” she said. Later, when she entered a football school, the coach always asked Han to show others what to do.
However, nobody can be good at everything. Han described her singing as “howling” and the only school subject she was good at was Chinese. “I was very happy every time my essay was posted on the wall for my schoolmates to read.” But Han still has some regrets about her school years. Her handwriting was terrible at school. She ever wanted to improve her handwriting but didn’t achieve much.

Many Chinese high school students are tired of their parents’ nagging（嘮叨）. They think their parents’ high expectations are burdens (負(fù)擔(dān)). But a recent survey found that they are much luckier than teenagers in Japan, the Republic of Korea and the US, who also find their parents annoying . The parents of foreign teens have even higher expectations of their children than Chinese parents. 62% of Chinese fathers and 66%of Chinese mothers have high expectations of their children at high school age. They rank third and fourth among fathers and mothers of four countries. Japanese mothers top the list with 76% having high expectations, while 70% of Korean fathers expect too much of their children. Japanese teens are the most deeply troubled by their parents constantly (總是) comparing them with other kids.
The survey also found that Chinese students are the most satisfied with their parents. They blame them less, and also receive less criticism than those from the other three countries . However ,satisfaction doesn’t mean they are happy. Of the four countries, Chinese children are not the happiest at home. They get the least praise from their parents and they don’t feel able to express their unhappiness to them,
“Results from the survey show that in spite of different cultural backgrounds, generation gaps （代溝）exist in many countries other than China. It’s even bigger elsewhere,” said Sun Yunsxiao, from the China Yonth and Children Research Centre. He said that Chinese parents are used to burying their feelings deep in their hearts, which makes their children not want to talk openly with them. “ This survey shows that both parents and teenagers in China need to work on communicating and understanding each other. ”
Besides their family life, students were also questioned about their opinions on themselves and others in the world. US students showed more “individuality,” with 88% agreeing that “people should follow their own interests instead of those of others”. Koreans were the next most independent, followed by the Chinese and Japanese.
