The hotel workers received him and telephoned the manager, for they had never seen a bicycle in the hotel hall before though they lived in “the kingdom of bicycles.” Robert Friedlander, an American, arrived in Xian on his bicycle trip across Asia which started last December in New Delhi, India. When he was 11, he read the book Marco Polo and made up his mind to visit the Silk Road. Now, after 44 years , he was on the Silk Road in Xian and his early dreams were coming true.

Others didnt do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time drinking in the Students Union than working in the library.Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question, we had to write True or False. While I was studying in my room the night before the test, Fred was watching television. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan.Its very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have to get fifty correct to pass the test. Ill take a coin into the examination room. I havent studied a chemistry book for months, so Ill just toss(抛) the coin. That way, Im sure Ill get half the questions right.The next day Fred came cheerfully into the examination room. He sat tossing a coin for half an hour as he marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor (走廊).Oh, good, he said. Have you got the result of the test? What mark did I get?The professor looked at him and smiled.Ah, its you, Baines. Just a minute.Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin.

Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts, but birds cant easily catch locusts because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is spreading, its enemies cannot find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.17.
