For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city t

31、o paint special lanes (车道) for bikes onlyon some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents.

32、inks they are a good idea. Taxi drivers dont like the ideathey say it will slow traffic.

33、On weekends, Central Park-the largest open space in New York is closed to cars and the roads may be used by bikes only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps working hard to get bike lanes in the city. Until that happens, the safest place to bike may be in the park.46. Fr

39、n a small area. The cloud then turned white, and fish started to fall to the ground. Most of them were still alive. During a storm in July 1901, in Minneapolis, people heard something falling from the sky that did not sound like rain. When they went outside, they found all types of frogs covering fo

40、ur streets. There are other reports of strange “rains” failing from the sky including worms, insects and snakes. Can these strange “rains” be explained by science? Scientists usually say that a tornado (龙卷风) has picked up the animals from a river or ocean, carried them for miles, and then dropped th

41、em somewhere else. But this does not completely explain all of them. On May 15, 1890, in Italy, there was a rain of bloodbirds blood. Scientists said that flying birds must have been torn(撕碎) to pieces by strong winds. But if so, why did only their blood fall from the sky , and not other parts of th

Also, after you have saved up enough money, you may realize you dont really want it after all. Finally, you are supposed not to compare what you have with

51、what your friends have. That expensive iPad of your friend may be borrowed or paid for with borrowed money. There is an old saying: “Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day.
