    Bike shares are a growing convenience in many cities around the world. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Riders usually have to pick up a bike at a self-serve station and return it at another station later. However, a Chinese bike-sharing company called Ofo, is bringing this idea to a new level.

    Like any other bike-sharing service, Ofo users can get a bike at any time. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Instead, they can pick one up wherever and whenever they please. To get a bicycle, riders with the app are able to find the nearest one. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} After parking the bike, all they have to do is to lock it.

    This Chinese company already has its bicycle throughout China, the United States and Singapore. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} “We want to reach more cities, connect more bikes and serve more people”, said Ofo founder Dai Wei.

A.Thousands of bike sharing programs have been set up by the governments.

B.When a rider is done with the bike, returning is just as easy.

C.This month, 500 Ofo bicycles will be set up in Cambridge, England.

D.For short journeys, riding a bike could be the best solution.

E.The big difference is that they don't need to find a self-serve station.

Some birthday customs（习惯） are quite similar（相似） in many parts of the world—- birthday candles, birthday games，and birthday cakes. But some customs are more special to some countries. Here are some children talking about their customs.

Linda—I am fourteen. I come from Aruba. In our country, children take something special to school for their classmates and all teachers. Every teacher gives the birthday child a small present like a pencil, an eraser or a postcard. The birthday child doesn't need to wear special uniform(校服). He or she can wear family clothes.

Lucy—I am one year older than Linda. Denmark（丹麦） is my country. We hung a flag(旗帜) outside a window to show that someone in that house is having a birthday. Presents are placed around the child's bed while they are sleeping so they will see them at once when they wake up.

Tom—I am as old as Linda. I am from Brazil(巴西). The birthday child receives a pull on the earlobe(耳垂) for each year in my country. The birthday person also gives the first slice of cake to his most special friend or relative, usually mom or dad.
