Dear Kangkang,

      Can you help me? I have too many rules! I have to get up at five thirty every morning. My mom goes to work at 6:30 a. m, so I have to cook breakfast! After breakfast, I run to school because I can't be late. At school I have more rules. Don't be noisy and don't talk in class, and so on.

      After school, Dad says I can't go out with my friends. I can only go out with them on weekends. I can't have a rest after school. Why? Because it's a rule again—do my homework after dinner. I also have rules for sleeping! I have to go to bed before half past nine. Rules, rules, rules!

      I can't stand（忍受）them any more. What can I do?

      Write to me soon!

Yours,

Li Lei   

    What has two wheels(轮子), runs on human energy and is red, pink, blue or any other color? A bicycle.

    ①In the US, the number of people who bike (骑自行车）in and around the city has increased. More people bike to work, to the store or to go to the movies. There are more bike lanes(车道)，bike signs, bike shops and there is even a popular bike idea, Capital Bikeshare, which allows people to rent(租用) bikes to get from place to place.

    • Kids also like biking to school.

    ②"In winter we walk, and in the rest of the seasons we ride our bikes, " Olivia Steckler, 8, said. She studies in a public school in Northeast Washington.

"It makes me feel happy," she said about biking. It takes her about 15 minutes to ride from home to school.

    Olivia is one of many kids in Washington, especially in the Capitol Hill area, who bike to school with an adult.

    Malia Weedon, 8, a third grader at Maury Elementary School, likes to bike because it's faster than walking. It takes her about five minutes to get to school on her bike. She's been biking to school for several years now and likes to race her little brother, William,

    Jennifer Hefferan, whose job is to make sure kids in Washington get to school safely, said that more people are calling her to ask about bike safety for kids. She also said that schools ask for more bike racks (自行车停放架）almost every day.

    The speed and convenience of modern travel makes the faraway countries be reached quickly and easily now.

    Even though they now seem closer, they may still be different from your home country. So it is important to change your behavior so that you can get on well with local people. Following are some basic rules that will make communication easier, and your trip more enjoyable.

    First, never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you don't know the word for something in the local language, try to draw a picture or point to the thing. Before you travel, you can also learn some basic words or phrases of the local language, such as words for please, thank you, and may I, as well as basic greetings

    Second, consider the culture of the country you plan to visit and read about the rules related to clothing. You ca bring some clothes such as shirts or T-shirts that cover your shoulders, and long trousers.

    Avoid topics（话题） that you think may be sensitive. If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will likely be the same in other cultures. Feel free to show interest in the history and customs of the place that you are visiting, but don't ask questions about why things are done a certain way, because you may make the local people unhappy.

    Keep in mind that in many cultures, showing affection in public isn't allowed. Kissing on the street or in public should be avoided. If you are unsure of how to behave, watch the local people and copy them.

    Finally, if you wish to take a gift, do some research. The idea of the perfect gift is different greatly from country to country, and one of the easiest ways to make someone angry is to give the wrong gift.

    I am Paul. I am in the classroom. What's under the teacher's desk?

It's a black schoolbag. Who lost the schoolbag? Let's look at the things in it. This is a pencil box with a pen, a ruler, an eraser and two pencils in it. This is a Chinese book. I always have my name on my books. But I can't see a name on it. I get the math book from the schoolbag and have a look. There is no name on it, either (either=too). How about the music book? Let me see. Here is a photo in this book. This is Sally but I don't know the other two girls in the photo. Is this Sally's schoolbag? I am not sure. I will call Sally and phone her about the lost schoolbag.
