Bike-sharing is a good choice for short journeys. It allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily. With a large number of people choosing bike-riding instead of driving, especially in some big cities, bike-sharing has been popular all over China. In December 2016, Shanghai became the world’s largest bike-sharing city according to a survey done by Centre for Urban Development.
It’s very convenient to use shared bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you should download such an APP. Then you can find a nearest bike through the APP and scan the QR code. Then the bike can be unlocked (解锁) itself. After riding, you can lock it and pay the fee.
Bike-sharing is a green way of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience. An engineer of a company says that since the start of shared bikes, people have made fewer trips by car. “The love for shared bikes is not only among young people but also among people over sixty. I can easily find one and never worry about where to park it,” said Chen Hong, who is an office worker in Beijing. So it is very convenient and helps people save a lot of time when they are in a hurry.
However, bike-sharing also brings many different kinds of problems. Some people don’t park the bikes in the bike parking lots, which makes it difficult for people to walk. And some may even try to steal or damage (损害) the bikes. What’s more, even some children under 12 can unlock and ride the bicycle. There is no doubt that it’s very dangerous.
Technology and science have changed our lifestyles. We have to say bike-sharing brings us a lot of convenience, and we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use.
1.Which city was the world’s largest bike-sharing city in 2016?Peter and Mona were cousins. Both of them loved finding their lost things and used to search like a detective. They enjoyed using telescopes and their magnifying glasses. They also had a cute and naughty dog named Jumbo. They often played a ball with their dog.
One day, the ball was missing from its place. They started searching for the ball and felt interested. But later, they found many things went missing and it became a mystery. So, the kids decided to search for the missing things.
They hung their telescopes on the shoulder and started their search with the magnifying glasses in hand.
Peter and Mons checked the place very closely from where the ball was missing. They found a small hair of brown colour after checking. This evidence was helpful for them to find their lost ball and other missing things in the house.
They both started thinking about that hair and listed everyone who had brown hair in this house including their dog. Their doubt was on Jumbo because none of the family members would do that. To find out that, they keep an eye on the activity of Jumbo. One day, they saw Jumbo digging (挖) a hole behind a tree. They watched quietly and kept watching till Jumbo left. When Jumbo left, Peter and Mona went to see the place well. They dug the hole and were surprised to see all the lost items of the house, including their ball.
Peter and Mona took all those things and showed them to their parents. They told them that the thief was their naughty Jumbo who hid the things. They put their magnifying glasses and telescopes back in their box. Again, Peter and Mona started playing the ball with naughty Jumbo happily. Both the kids felt proud and called themselves “Little Detectives”.
