By now there were several people standing around me, my mom, and the little broken bush(灌木叢).

“Son, would you like me to call an ambulance?” some men said.

“No,” my mom yelled. “I’m fine. Please go away!”

“She’s learning to ride,” I tried to explain to all those who were not going to go away.

“Oh, all right!” My mom sat up and brushed the grass and leaves off her sweater. Finally she stood up. Everyone began to clap(鼓掌), and my mom’s face turned bright pink.

“Thank you very much, but as you can see, I’m just fine.” Mom took a few steps around to show them that she wasn’t hiding a broken leg. Everyone clapped again and then went on their way.

“Enough for today?” I asked hopefully.

“No,” she said in a way that surprised me. “I almost had it, and then I let myself get scared. I know I can do it this time!” Now this sounded more like my mom, for I’d never known my mom to be afraid of anything before. I helped her pull the bike out of the bush and push it up the hill.

She didn’t look quite so pale this time. She got on the bike again and went down the hill. I ran down the hill after her. She had ridden quite a way ahead of me when she looked back over her shoulder, smiling. Then she gave me a thumbs-up(翹拇指) sign.

“No, no!” I yelled. “Use both hands!”

But it was too late. Again.

“Mom! Are you hurt?” I ran up to her in the grass.

This time she was laughing. “Did you see me? I did it! I really did it!” Then she stopped and looked at me. “I mean,” she said, “we did it.”

The bike is one of the simplest yet most useful inventions in the world. What is the most urprising is that it was not invented 1, although the great inventor Lenardo da Vinci had drawn pictures for bikes 2 for flying machines and some other things. Those things were not produced  3  long after he died.

     A person riding a bike 4  very little energy to make it move, and there is no5  at all when he is riding one. Even so, in developed countries, most people don't go to work  6 bike. It is not because the bikes are expensive. It's because the number of 7 on the road becomes larger. It certainly becomes more   8  to ride a bike. As a result, more people put their bikes away and go to work in their cars, and 9 this way, the situation is made more serious. Perhaps the best way to make bike riding safer and more 10 is to create paths only for bikes, and to make it so difficult and expensive for drivers to ride to in their cars into the city that they will go back to use their bikes.

 In China,people's living conditions in .the cities have changed a lot in the ways of transportation in the past fifty years.

  A survey shows that the number of people riding a bike or walking is always decreasing. In 1974,more than 50% of people traveled to work on their own bikes,while by 2014,less than 20% of travelers preferred cycling or walking to work. Now the number becomes much smaller.

  At the same time,there was a large increase in the use of cars. In 1974,very few people had a car. By 1994,about a quarter of travelers drove to work. This increased again,until 2014,about one third of travelers drove to work.

  What has caused these changes? The main reason is that people's living conditions have changed greatly. With the increasing number of people going by bus or car,fewer and fewer people would like to be cyclists or walkers.

  As people enjoyed the convenience (便利) and speed of buses and cars,they are less likely to have patience and interest in cycling and walking. In the future,with the development of science and technology,more changes will happen in people's everyday lives.
