Robert De Vincenzo, the great golfer (高尔夫球手), once won a competition, after receiving the check (支票) and smiling for the cameras, he went to the club and got ready to leave. While he was walking alone to his car in the parking lot, a middle-aged woman came over to him.

She said "congratulations" to him and then told him that her child was seriously ill and near death. She did not know how she could pay the doctor's bills.

De Vincenzo was touched by her story, and he took out a pen and signed his winning check for payment to the woman. "Make some good days for the baby," he said as he gave the check to her.

The next week he was having lunch in a country club when his friend came to his table. "Someone told me you met a middle-aged woman there after you won that golf competition." De Vincenzo nodded. "Well", said the friend, "I have news for you. She cheated you. She has no sick baby. She has not even married."

"You mean there is no baby who is dying?" said De Vincenzo.

"That's the best news I've heard all week," De Vincenzo said happily.

The survey(调查) shows the reasons why some people in the UK like cycling better. Many people who choose cycling say riding a bicycle to work is healthier than driving. 30% of them give this as a reason. The same number of people say that they cycle to work because it causes less pollution. Fifteen percent of people cycle to work because they don't need to worry about getting a parking space. Thirteen percent of them think cycling is cheaper. Surprisingly, the fewest number of people say that they cycle to work because it is faster than traveling by car. If a person lives near his or her work place, cycling is faster than driving.
