Mrs. White lived in a big city and she worked in a bank. She went there by car every morning for twenty years. Then she was forty-five years old, and she said to herself: “I’m fat and weak (柔弱的) now, because I go everywhere by car. I’m going to buy a bike.”
She bought one and after that, she always went to her bank on her bike, and not in her car. Sometimes all the cars stopped at a red light, and she went quickly past them to the forest, because her bike was narrow (狭窄的). Then she was happy.
Yesterday she stopped at a red light, and a man came behind her on another bike. He stopped too and said, “Have the police taken your driving license away, too?”
1．Mrs. White went to work by car when she was forty years old.
