Our two older daughters had their own bikes with training wheels. However, this was the first time that I was on a bicycle in close to ten years. I used to ride to work every day when Ted and I got married.I had never been so interested in biking until this Monday. To my surprise, I felt a little scared. At first I wasnt sure if I would be able to ride a bike. I tried to ride a bicycle and it was the strangest feeling. I couldnt keep my balance. I couldnt move the pedals (踏板). I thought that I had forgotten how to ride a bicycle. It was embarrassing (令人尴尬的), especially when two of my daughters were already on their bikes, wondering what was wrong with Mommy. After a few tries with the help of Ted, I found that I could ride it. It did come back! I found that I could ride a bike at least as well as our young children, and at the moment I didnt need to go any faster than them anyway. Someone had to stay in the rear and keep an eye on the kids! Now, Im looking forward to enjoying years of biking as a family! The kids like it and I like it too!

This morning, Susan joined her second grade class in the taking of their “first communion (圣餐式)”.The priest (神父) seemed quite satisfied in front of an entire school of children dressed in the same clothes together with their parents or relatives. He began the speech by asking the kids to share a story of a time when they were at their happiest. One child who was eager to please wisely said, “At my first communion.” Wasnt it surprising how quickly we learned to please others? And of course, there were a few more answers that made us smile. “When it was my birthday!” “When I got my pet dog.” “When my family went to Legoland.”Then, the priest asked the kids to share a time when they were very sad. He told them that they did not have to share but that if they wanted to, they could. My daughters hand shot into the air with such a clear purpose, I thought for sure that she would share the day when her grandmother died. At once, my heart sank. The priest walked over to my daughter and leaned down. Full of pity and interest, he said, “Yes, dear?”Susan cleared her voice, took the microphone and said: “The day when my brother was born.”25.

In your teachers opinion, he or she wants to make sure that you are paying attention, being polite, and trying your best to learn.

A strict teacher may be someone who feels strong about getting his or her job done teaching you the subject you are supposed to learn. Its also important to remember that making mistakes is a part of learning. By pointing out your mistakes and helping you correct (改正) them, a teacher is teaching you. Remember, in most cases, your teacher is on your side.Even if a teacher isnt your favorite, you can still have a successful relationship, especially if you carry out your responsibilities as a student.

DEnergy-saving vehicles (交通工具) were part of the Green Transportation Festival in Washington, D.C. last month. The vehicles shown were designed to reduce Americas dependence on gas and help improve the environment. The festival took place in several American cities.There were exhibitions of cars, buses and motorized (摩托化的) bicycles at the festivals. Most of them used little gas or another kind of fuel such as electricity (电力), and natural gas. People were also advised to think of simpler ways of getting around, such as walking, biking and using public transportation systems. These methods all helped to reduce the use of gas and other fuels. Many people, including students and carmakers, took part in the festival. The exhibition aimed to show people what their so-called “green” vehicles could do. Festival organizers say that progress in technology (技术) is making it possible for Americans to reduce their dependence on oil for transportation. That is because the number of different kinds of energy-saving vehicles is growing. The environment and the public will benefit a lot from the efforts to reduce oil imports to the United States. The burning of oil as fuel is responsible for a large share of polluted air, which changes the worlds climate and leads to breathing problems, cancer and other health problems. Organizers say that strong public demand for vehicles that people can use other kinds of fuels can force carmakers to produce more such vehicles. That is the goal of the Green Transportation Festival.33. Why were the vehicles shown?A. To show new cars and compete for a car design prize.B.
