Bicycle Commuting
I may not be a movie star, best-selling author, or millionaire when Igrow up,but one thing I will be known for, at least locally,is commuting by bicycle. I's sad to see how few people do even though many could. Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases, but by driving cars, they're sill contributing to the problem.
You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (環(huán)保主義者),but I'm not one
of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually,my interest in exercise, health, and fitness led me to cycling.
Cycling can help you lose weight, improve your health, and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury.
While being good for your body, bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases.
Many environmentalists recycle, plant tees, and drive hybrid cars (混合動力汽車),but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week.
Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicyde and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car.
You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do.
You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment , save money, and most importantly get fit.

Spilt (打翻的) Milk
I recenly heard a story about' a famous scientist who had made severa l very important medical achievements. He was asked why he was so much more creative than the average person.
He responded that it all came from an' experience when he was about two. He hadbeen trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip (緊握) and it fell,spilling (打翻) the milk alI over the floor.
When his mother came into the ki tchen, instead of yelling at him, or punishing
him, she said, ”Robert, what a wonderful mess you have made!”Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to play in the milk for a few. minutes before we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did。After a few minutes, his mother said,” Rober, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up. So,how would youlike to do that? We could use a sponge (海綿) or a towel, Which do you prefer?" He chose
the sponge, and together they cleaned up the spilt milk.
His mother then said,“You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in, how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the,back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it" The litle boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.
The scientist remarked that it was then that he knew he didn' t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for 1 earmi ng something new,which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the
experiment ' 'doesn't work, ”we usually learn something valuable from it。
