Large population has caused many problems. For example, the traffic is very heavy in some big cities.
During the last ten years, big cities like Beijing and Harbin were full of cars and buses. Now the streets are completely crowded and it’s very difficult to drive a car along them. Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights. What are our cities going to be like in the future? How can we solve the problem?
There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private(私人的) cars. In 1971, the officer in Rome began an interesting experiment: Passengers on the city buses didn’t pay for their tickets.
In Stockholm there was another experiment: People paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus, trolley bus(电车) and train all over the city.
In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles(机动车) and pedestrians are safe there.
In London there is another experiment: Part of the streets is for buses only. So the buses can travel fast. There are no cars or taxis in front of them.

Long, long ago there was a bad king. All of his people h  1.   him.

One hot day he was taking a walk along a river when he decided to have a swim in it. He was a good s  2.   . But while he was in the river, he s  3. fell ill, and was nearly drowned(淹死). At that time two f  4. were working in the field n  5.They came over, jumped into the river, and he was s  6.   . They didn’t know who he was until they p  7.   him out of the water.

The king was happy. He said to the two farmers, “Ask for a  8.  , I’ll give it to you. I’m the r  9.   in the world. And today you have saved my life.”

One of them answered, “You can do one thing for us.” “What is it?” asked the king. He thought that they would ask for a lot of money.

“Don’t tell a  10.  that we have saved you.”

 

How do you remember the way to your house? Where do dreams come from? It is your brain (大脑) that does these things. A British scientist showed that “sleep can improve one’s memory.” It’s not a dream for students to study when they sleep. In fact, your brain is working day and night. If you learn words before bed, a certain part of the brain may help you to remember the words while you sleep. What’s more, another scientist in the USA found that there was a “talent button (天才按钮)” in the human brain. It might make a person more talented.

There are more interesting things about the brain. Your brain uses less energy than a fridge light. Just two bananas can give the brain enough energy to work for a whole day. According to some scientists, yawning (打哈欠) keeps our brains “cool”, which makes us think quicker.

Here are some pieces of advice to keep a good brain:

Eat healthy food.

Get a lot of playtime or exercise.

Don’t drink or smoke.

Use your brain a lot.
