About thirty years ago, China was known as “the Bicycle Kingdom”. But now with the d1. of economy(经济) and technology, more and more families have had their own cars. It seems that bicycles are not u2. any more. Recently, a bike-sharing project has been introduced by some start-ups(新兴公司) like Ofo and Mobike. As a result, a large number of people choose cycling i3. of driving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing.
What is the bike-sharing project? It means people can unlock the shared bikes by simply u4. their smartphones. And the bikes are equipped(装备) with GPS so that they can be left a5. in public for the next user.
Now the shared bikes are very p6. among Chinese people. They speak highly of the project because it helps s7. the “last mile” problem. Moreover, bike-sharing is not only a greener way of transportation(交通方式) but also brings a user-friendly e8. to people.
Just as an old saying goes, “Every coin has two sides. ” This project also l9. to a lot of problems such as illegal parking, vandalism(故意破坏) and theft. To deal with these problems, the companies have come up with some ideas. For example, the users will be rewarded free time for their n10. rides if he returns the bicycles to the stations .

Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people. But if we think about what is going on in our lives, we can usually come up with an answer. Let’s look at some of the most common dreams. What are the meanings of these dreams?
Falling
You’re falling, falling, falling… and then you wake up. This dream is said to mean you are in fear of something or worried about something. There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something. Maybe you’re not doing well in school or work.
Taking an exam (or forgetting that you have one)
You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment. You might be running here and there to find your classroom. Scientists say this dream may mean you’re being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge.
Flying
Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things that matter to you. It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you.
Trying to run, but going nowhere
You’re trying to run, but either of your legs won’t move or you simply aren’t going anywhere. Some scientists think this dream means you’re trying to do too many things at once and can’t catch up or move forward.
In fact, unlike these dreams, there are also many strange dreams that scientists may not be able to explain.

How to beat sadness
We all have days when we are down, tired and unhappy. That's OK. You need days like this, or how would you know you are happy? You'll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days. Even if sadness is a part of life, let's try to make it small. Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.
1.Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow (流动). When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.
2.Smile! It's easy to do and have good results. This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring others a good mood.
3.Listen to music. It can be your favourite music. Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.
4.Take some "me" time. You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that.
5.Exercise. Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing. It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.
These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don't just use them when you are sad. If you want these ways to work, you’d better practice them every day until you can make them a habit. You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away. But if you are in a deep depression (沮丧), go to see a doctor.

To me, the idea of home changes along with my age all the time.
In my childhood, home was a number of calls. It seems that I had more free time than today’s children. I didn’t have to appear in front of my parents right after school. Instead, I often went to play with my classmates who lived in my neighborhood. We played until dinner was ready and our parents called “Come back! Come home for supper.”
Very soon, my childhood was gone. When I grew into a young man from a boy. Home became a place I tried to run away from.
As I read more and more, my world opened up, larger than before. The bed I used to sleep in became too small. And words of care from my parents became meaningless. How I wished I could have a space of my own someday! Later I joined the army and put on my own green uniform. Home was the series of letters I received one after another.
When I got a job, I began to get ‘hurt’, to rise and fall in the sea of people, and to understand that you can’t share all your pains with other people, even with your best friends. So again, another wave of homesickness came over me. When I was badly hurt, I imagined myself flying home on wings. Pushing open the door, I let tears flow down my face. At that moment I felt that as large as the world was, what I needed was only the familiar smell of home and the unchanged view outside the window of my old house
