They are increasingly popular in Europe now. Paris has the worlds largest urban (城市的) cycle rental system.This is a bike rental station in Paris. The workers are showing how to use a new self-service bike. They say that Paris will become “a green capital of bikes” and they plan to park 20,000 bicycles at 1,600 stations. Paris created this plan to reduce waste gas displacement (废气排气量).At a rental station, you only have to put your credit card into the machine to rent a bike. It provides French, German, English and Chinese services. If you ride the bike for only 30 minutes to relax, you neednt pay for it. A two-hour bike rent only costs you 4 euros.These stations work for 24 hours every day, so a bike is rented for 10 to 14 times a day. 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. So how to park their bikes is a problem that Paris will face. But this project is still a helpful way to improve its traffic environment.31 .

You didnt do anything wrong.Pencil: Im sorry that you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a mistake, youre always there to erase it. But when you make my mistakes disappear, you also lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.Eraser: Thats true. But I dont really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you make a mistake. I know Ill be gone one day and youll replace me with a new eraser. But Im actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I dont want to see you feeling sad.In fact, parents are like erasers and their children are like pencils. Theyre always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes they get hurt along the way. They become smaller, older, and even pass away eventually. Though they cannot accompany their children for life, parents are still happy with what they do for their children and always hope that their precious ones can be happy.35 .
