Bikes are popular in the Dutch(荷兰). In fact, nearly half of all travel in the Dutch is by bike. Now, one Dutch bike designer(设计师), Thomas, has taken the country’s interest in bikes by making a school bus bike.
The big bike has eight sets of pedals(踏板) for kids, a driver seat for an adult, and three other seats, comfortably letting little kids for their trip to and from school. The bike even has a motor, which can help with high hills or at times when few kids on it.
So far, Thomas tells Fast Company, he’s sold 25 school-bikes, at a price of $ 25,000 each—less than it would cost to buy a traditional school bus with the same number of seats. Along with the traditional color, the bikes ,are colored yellow so that they can be seen easily.
Thomas says he’s sold school bus bikes to neighboring countries such as Belgium, England and Germany, but so far, the school bus bike hasn’t been sold in the United States. If the U.S. agrees to buy this kind of school bus bike, it could do a lot of good to improve exercise for a young age and help them keep healthy.

Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places，the Forbidden City in Beijing，China．It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties in China，the Ming and Qing Dynasties．
The Forbidden City was built in 1420．The palace has over 10，000 rooms．It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers．
In Mandarin，The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City．However，the color of the palace itself is not purple．The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China．It was so sacred（神圣的） that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in．
The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City．During Chinese New Year，the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet．The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes．It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations（代）．
Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world．Everyone can go in there．It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques （古董） and treasures in it．

Museums have changed.They are no longer places that one “should”go but to enjoy.
at a science museum in Canada,you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.at the children’s museum in new York,you can play an African drum.there are no “do not touch”sign in some other museums in the USA.
More and more museum directors have realized that people learn beat when they can become part of what they are seeing.in many science museums,the visitors are encouraged to touch,listen,operate and experiment so as to discover scientific rules for themselves.
The purpose is not only to provide fun,but also help people feel at home in the world of science.if people don’t understand science,they will be afraid of it;and if they are afraid of science,they will not make the best use of it.
One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time.another cause is the growing number of young people in the population.many of them are college students or college graduates.they see things in a new and different way.they want art that they can take part in.the same is true of science and history.
The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new,modern museums.in the states and Canada,there are more than 6 000 museums,almost twice as many as there were 25 years ago.

C.people will understand better by trying to discover the scientific rules themselves.
D.people should go to a museum to learn something.

Some people have to use public transport，some dislike it and still some love it．If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go，there will be serious traffic problems on the road．Luckily，trains are a good form of public transport．
British people use trains a lot．This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris．Every day about 20 trains leave London．They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris．It's much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car．This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and lowly for many reasons，such as speed limits and traffic jams．However，when you are travelling by train，the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train．
