18、e think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or“ bike“.In a great many cities, 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 Ci

19、ty. They claim that if more people rode bi- cycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown 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 bike riders. For example, they want the city t

20、o draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is agood idea-they s

21、ay it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business.

26、 to Traffic Problems in New York 55 To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used i

27、n very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, as early as the eleventh century B. C.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honour and authority. In the Far East

28、in ancient times the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshades. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as pr

29、otection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680,the umbrella appeared in France, and later on

30、 in England.By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasnt until the twentieth century that womens umbrellas began to be made, in a whole

You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A famous scientist concluded that cli

35、mate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities, and that cool weather is much more favourable for creative thinking than in summer heat. This does not mean all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the me

36、ntal abilities of large members of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring mans mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Autumn is the next best s

A mistake on one in

41、- expensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.
