Some people think they have an answer to the problems of automobile(机动车) crowding and pollution in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or“bike”.
In a great many cties, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown(市中心) section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to paint special lanes(车道) for bicycles on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks they are a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like the idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
The city govemment has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park—the largest open space in New York—is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only .But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fghting to get bicycle lanes in the downtown. Until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.

C篇
For Chinese students nowadays, no matter what kinds of schools they’re going to, they have to face the problem of lerning English. All examinations they want to pass require them to pass English.
Examinations for entering further education, studying abroad and even graduating from college require scores in English examinations. English has become the most popular course in tutorial classes and even in the self-study clasoom.
When nearly all students' attention is focused on English, looking at the situation of our mother language, even Chinese linguists get confused about its use. Not only have many new words and phrases which are very popular on the Internet started to fill in every corner of the society, but common use of Chinese is full of mistakes and misunderstandings.
Under such an urgent situation for the Chinese language, it’s time for every Chinese person to start protecting our mother tongue.
Chinese has the most speakers of any world language and is also one of the oldest languages in history. Around the world, many countries have started learning Chinese and Chinese has become one of the most important foreign languages in some foreign countries.
Besides, there are 512 Confucius institutions in 140 countries and regions around the world that are teaching Chinese. The
number of people learning Chinese is about 210 million outside China.
