More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. May be that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!

Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and benefit(受益)from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way.

Folding (折叠) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other, and paining（疼痛）too. In India, most of us would look at the reduction（减少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America, there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（笔记本电脑）, weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need, says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.

The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商）of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下载）their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.

At present, the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann, the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University, where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper, and the smell of the black ink?

Long, long ago there lived a poor young boy in a small village. He was about ten years old. His parents were dead when he was eight. He had to make a living himself. Every afternoon, he walked around the village selling his cooking oil. He carried the oil in a small wooden basin.

After he sold all of his oil one afternoon, he was very tired. He thought that he would have a rest. He left his wooden basin under a tree, put the money in it and fell asleep.

About two hours later, he woke up because of hunger. He looked into the basin and found that his money was gone. He was very worried.

He went at once to see a judge. The judge listened to the boy’s story very carefully. He thought for a while, and then said to the men in his office, “Go and get all the
