When people travel abroad(国外), they sometimes stay in the homes of the local people. This is a homestay.

    I am living with an old English couple, in the west of London. They have a clean four-bedroom house. This is a new house. It has two bathrooms and a garden with many beautiful flowers. I have a bedroom of my own.

    There are some shopping centres and a restaurant next to the house, and the house is close to an underground station. It takes about 30 minutes to take an underground to the centre of London.

    I think a homestay may be a good choice for you if it is your first time to visit abroad. The local people are friendly and ready to help. If you want to celebrate the holidays with them, you will get to know more about their culture and customs.

    During rush hours, you never know when a bus or a taxi might come. Walking might be too tiring. If it's about two or three miles away, which kind of transportation will you choose? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    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.

    Vienna is a beautiful old city on the River Danube in the center of Europe. It's the capital city of Austria and the center of European classical music. In the 18th century a lot of musicians came to study and work in Vienna.

    In the Strauss family, there were two composers called Johann Strauss: the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1866 he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.

    Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of wonderful pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only 35. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect.
