But American-Argentinian Herman Zapp and his wife Candelaria have traveled 2,272,000 kilometers in 12 years, driving their 84-year-old museum car on a roundthe-world journey called “Spark Your Dream”.They started by exploring Argentina for two years. They headed to the Amazon River. Later they drove up the Pan American highway to Alaska in the US, a journey that took four years. They spent two years in the United States and Canada, a year and a half in Australia and New Zealand and now they are in Asia. They visited South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia and now they are in Indonesia.“It is not just a journey, its a dream, ”said Zapp, a 43-year-old San Francisco native who worked in information technology this year. “ A dream is the meaning of your life. If you dont go for it, you are missing the point of life.”When he was a boy, Zapp moved to Argentina to work on his grandfathers farm near Buenos Aires. There he met Candelaria and they became childhood sweethearts. They married after 10 years of dating and dreamed of travel.“At that point we thought about our dream. If we dont do it now, we will never do it.”Zapps original idea was backpacking but four months before they started, his grandfather offered the classic touring car. “If you want to get far, you need to go slowly,” his grandfather once said.On January 25, 2000, the couple began the journey. They bought a big tent and put things they need on the top. They carried a gas stove and theres another stove in the engine that heats as the car is driven. The car even has curtains and mosquito nets, and sometimes they sleep inside.“The secret to realize a dream is to start,” he said. “Everything changed and we decided to continue the dream.”61.

So how to park their bikes is a problem that Paris will faceD. They are becoming more and more popular in Europe nowE. A two-hour bike rent only costs you 4 eurosBicycle sharing systems(系统) are also known as yellow bicycle programs, white bicycle programs, public bikes, or free bikes. 66 . Paris has the worlds largest urban(城市的) cycle rent system .This is a bike rent station in Paris. The workers are showing how to use a new self-service bike. 67 .And they plan to park 20,000 bicycles at 1,600 stations. Paris created this plan to make waste gas become less.At a rent station, you only have to put your credit card into the machine to rent a bike. It offers people French, German, English and Chinese services. If you ride the bike for only 30 minutes to relax, you neednt pay for it. 68 .These stations work for 24 hours every day. 69 . In this way there are 200,000 people using bikes a day.In the past few years, Paris has encouraged its people to ride bikes. But something unhappy has happened now and then. Some people break the traffic rules during rush hours. Some park their bikes everywhere. 70 . But this project is still a helpful way to improve its traffic environment. Dont you think so?DMore and more young people from China begin to celebrate(庆祝) Fathers Day. They send fathers presents, or invite them for a nice dinner. But do you know how Fathers Day started?While Mrs Dodd, from America, was listening to a talk about Mothers Day in a church in 1909, she had an idea of having Fathers Day to honor(纪念) her father, William Smart. Mr Smart used to be a soldier. His wife died when she gave birth to her sixth child. Mr Smart had to raise his six children alone. They lived a hard life. After Mrs Dodd grew up, she wanted to thank her father for what he had done for them . She wrote a letter to a church and asked for the third Sunday in June to be Fathers Day. The church agreed with her.The first Fathers Day was celebrated on June 19th, 1
