    In a large city like Beijing, what's the best way you can think of to spend only a single yuan to get around? Shared bikes!

    Shared bikes seem to have appeared in Beijing overnight. Their bright colour and stylish design make them stand out from other bikes. More importantly, they are "smart". A shared bike can record the route it travels, the calories its rider consumes and the amounts of carbon emissions(排放)the ride saves. The smart lock is powered by solar energy. It is designed to produce power throughout the ride to keep its "smart" system running.

    Registration(注册)for a shared bike is easy. As long as you have a smart phone, you're good to go. It takes only several minutes to register after scanning the QR code(二维码)on the bike. You have to provide your personal information such as name, ID card number and smart phone number. We are encouraging people to cycle short distances, rather than driving. We want to bring bikes back to China's cities, "said a founder of a bike-sharing company." We are using new technology to provide better services. "The free-floating model of shared bikes frees users from the need to find specific drop-off and collection points, and the GPS in the smart lock allows them to locate and book bikes in advance using their smart phone.

    The bike-sharing companies intend to develop a green travelling culture. The riders feel rewarded not only by building up their body, but also by helping to control climate change.

    Given the huge user base in the" kingdom of bicycles" and the growing demand for a green lifestyle, the future of the business should be optimistic.

    Have you ever thought about travelling abroad but worried that you can't afford to visit all the places on your wish list? That doesn't mean you have to choose to stay at home. With a careful preparation, you can travel practically. How? Here are some suggestions for getting your accommodation for free or next to nothing.

    This exchange includes trading homes for a fixed time that both sides agreed on. It works best if your home is in a place where someone wants to pay a visit, and of course, your dates coincide.

    Or how about being a caretaker? Now things start to get interesting. If you're up for watering plants, taking care of the kitties now and then, and generally doing what needs to be done around the house, then you can stay for free. Learn more and start your search for a care taking place by surfing the Internet.

    There is another choice. Consider volunteer work or paid work exchange. If you've got a unique skill set, make the most of it and work for your accommodation rather than pay for it. It is also a good way to get insights into the local culture and lifestyle.

A. You can work for your accommodation.

B. Try home exchange.

C. Try to find it by yourself.

D. By thinking out of the box when it comes to where you stay.

E. There are many websites which you can use to look for fellow traders.

F. You can find swappers in the books.

G. You don't have to share your own bedrooms with somebody else but to look after someone else's.

    Travelling can bring you all the surprising things, sometimes with great embarrassment though.

    It was my1night in the US, and I stayed in a really nice hotel. The seven-day trip was 2with all kinds of amazing stories, and I couldn't 3to go back to Italy and share to take a quick shower before going to the 4.I started turning the knob(把手), probably in the opposite direction.

That very second a fountain of water started rushing from the wall, 8it was directly linked to the main water supply of the hotel. I was9and tried to put the knob back on, but, of course, I failed. I was ankle deep in water and it already was flowing inside the room. I grabbed(抓住 )the first10I could see and ran to look for help, which reminded me of Mr Bean. At least I had a towel…

    Fortunately, there was a maid(女服务员) some six rooms further, but11she did not speak any Italian. I grabbed her hand and pulled her to my room, and when she saw the scene, she ran off to get help. While various managers were running around and trying to find someone who knew how to12the water, 13believed the story until they came to the room and saw for themselves. I was just standing there with my towel, when one of the head maids noticed that and opened another room next door for me so that I could14. After that, the staff offered me free breakfast as a compensation(赔偿),but as I was already very late, I went to the airport without breakfast. Now I have15amazing story to share with my friends.
