Nowadays, more and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for environment. Maybe that’s why there are 1,400 million bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads all over the world today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil (油)cost.

Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood(附近地區(qū))，you may find something new all around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You can bike to work and enjoy exercise without polluting (污染)the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.

Folding (折疊) bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. You can put a folding bike in a box. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.

It helps to prevent heart diseases.

Bicycling helps to control your weight. A 15-minute bike ride to and from work three times a week burns off five kilos of fat in a year.

Bicycling can improve your mood (心情). Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident.

Kites have a long history. They may date back(追溯到) long time ago. They were made of bamboo and silk in China. Nobody knows exactly how or when a kite was first flown, but it is said that when a Chinese farmer tied a string(繩子) to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born.

Children like playing with kites. Kites for work or play are made of wood, bamboo, paper, or silk. In 478 B.C., a Chinese philosopher(思想家), Mo Zi, spent three years making a kite out of light wood and bamboo. The earliest record of kite flying was in about 200 B.C. when the Chinese General(將軍) Han Xin of Han Dynasty flew a kite over the walls of a city. He wanted to know how far his army would have to travel.

In the 13th century, Marco Polo wrote about how the shipping businessmen flew the huge kite in the wind before the ship set sail. They predicted the voyage(航海) in this way. If the kite went high and straight it meant a quick and successful voyage, but if it did not fly well， it was a bad omen(預(yù)兆). In the late 1500s, the kite was introduced to Europe by the Italians. Kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book in 1589.
