China is a land of bicycles．At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country．Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle．Millions of them，all black．Cars were rare．Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true．There are millions of cars．However, people still use their bicycles to get around．For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today．Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue，yellow, whatever you want．

It’s fun people biking．They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic，and ride even on sidewalks．Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide．

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture，I decided to buy a bicycle．Great weather accompanied my great buy．I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home．

My first ride home was orderly．To be safe, I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times．I didn't want to get hit．So I took the ride carefully．

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States．The streets here were wide，so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck．

I finally made it home．The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful．I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people．Biking made me feel alive．

1.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?

A. Because they are traditional and safe．

B. Because they are convenient and inexpensive．

C. Because they are colorful and available．

D. Because they are fast and environment friendly．

2.How did the author feel about his street crossing?

A. It was boring． B. It was difficult．

C. It was lively． D. It was wonderful．

The news which the English Entrance Examination will be reformed has caused a big “earthquake” in our country．Many people, included students, are for it．But there are also some people are against it．Then, is it better to do so or not? Personally, I think the reform has between advantages and disadvantages．On the one hand, it can reduce students’ learn burden and enable English to return back to its true function．On the other hand, it will cause students to spend less time on studying English and to attached less importance to English．If so, students will not have a good knowledge of English．What’s more, if students don’t have so a good ability, they will not be able to broaden our horizon and meet the future challenges．

“When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.”

As we live through life, we tend to get caught up in our individual world, our problems — our life. When we our world to include others in a meaningful way, by making a difference in their life, we increase our experience at the same time.

Think back on a time when someone made a difference in your life.

Here is one of mine: I was going to college, working part-time, and just getting by financially. Standing in line at a local supermarket, I a woman in the same line, thinking that she was not very attractive. As I was , I discovered that I did not have enough money to pay; without , that same woman I had been judging offered to the difference. It wasn’t , but what that person did made a lasting impression on me. She was a beautiful, caring soul who was willing to help a stranger in a(an) situation. That happened over forty years ago and I remember it as as if it was yesterday.

Other examples are the numerous times I have had people smile at me, which my day. I've often wondered if it was because I was smiling, which I to do all the time, or because they were smiling to be , which encouraged me to smile as well. It has probably been some of both. In case, that simple gesture (a smile) makes a difference in my day.

There are ways to make a significant difference in another's life. The question is: Are we doing it? It does not anything, but it does require some effort on our part. I have found that as I do this consistently, the go far beyond the energy required to do the deed. Looking for ways to brighten another person's day raises our vibration(共鳴),and when we act on it, we the other person to raise their vibration as well — it is to each other.

Make a difference in someone's life today, and doing so every day. Today is a perfect time to start! If you are already doing so. bravo!
