Introduction

A lot of crime is against bicycles. Many bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.

Basic Security

Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts（灯柱）or trees. Take off small parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles（车座）．

Locks

Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shop. Buy one that has been tested

against attack. Ask for advice from a bike shop.

Registration

There are a number of companies who will mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details in their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to get in touch with you.

Finally

Keep a record of the bicycle yourself. its make, model and registration number. You can even

Take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.

When I was watching a sports event yesterday, I met with an amazing sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of pure courage and determination.

The event was swimming. I watched a man dive off the blocks and knew right away that something was wrong. I'm not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold - his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle.

I heard the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes (划水) and you could tell he was worn out. But in those few awkward strokes, the crowd changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and yell things like, "Come on, you can do it!" He did. The crowd went wild.

Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to

take part in the event. Even though he recorded the slowest time, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors------a man that gave his all, knowing that he had no chance but to compete because of the spirit of the games.

It could happen just about any time you step out in public. You get onto an almost-empty bus,

but the next passenger in decides to ignore dozens of empty seats to sit right next to you. While

you're waiting in line at a supermarket, the next customer insists on standing only two inches behind you and shouting into his cell-phone. You go into a public restroom, and the next person to enter decides to use the next stall. Transgressions(冒犯) like these don't just make us feel uncomfortable; we often feel anxious, alarmed; and violated(被侵犯的 ). it is the attack of the personal-space invaders.

In any society, shared definitions of personal space govern how we interact with other people.

People living in densely(密集地) populated cities like Mumbai, Beijing, or Mexico City tend to

require less personal space than people living in sparsely(稀少地) populated places within the

country. In America, New Yorkers often have smaller requirements than residents of western states, like Montana, Shenandoah and Wyoming. Because everyone has different standards, gestures that are innocent in one place can be interpreted as opposite in another, especially in Britain.

As the British etiquette(礼仪) website Debrett puts it, as a British person, somebody standing too close may make you " focus less on what somebody is saying than on how close they are to you ".Simple acts like putting an arm around someone you don't know may seem friendly in China, but they can make us very uncomfortable. People from many European countries such as France and Spain kiss each other on the cheek when they meet, yet to British person, this seems too friendly and" touch-freely". The website explains! "The British are not backslappers(拍人后背的人) and generally do not show affection in public". .

Are British people unfriendly? Far from it. The website adds that they are not as "stand-offish and aloof” as they may seem, but very friendly and helpful to foreigners. However, remember not to be too close. If you are going to come closer than an arm's length, please let them know.

Suppose you have three things: a piece of wood, a nail and a hammer. Pretend the wood is a

person, and the nail is a mean rumor(语言) about that person. If you hammer the nail in, you're

obviously hurting him or her. If you then pull out the nail, there's still a hole in the wood, and the

damage has been done.

There are many reasons why that nail of a rumor can be so harmful. Rumors are, quite simply, a form of bullying(欺侮). When a person or a group makes up a rumor about someone or decides to spread gossip, it's usually to hurt someone, break up a friendship, or make someone less popular. It's the same thing as teasing, only it's done behind someone's back instead of to his or her face.

When you spread a rumor about someone, you're sending a signal that the person is outside the group, and somehow less worthy of friendship than others. You're making fun of that person or

pointing out negative things about him or her. This can let others think that it's OK to make the

person feel bad, and make him or her an outsider.

We need to be able to trust our friends, but gossip and rumors can break this l:rust. If you tell a personal secret to a friend, and he turns around and tells it to someone else, you might feel like you will get burned if you ever get close to him again.

Letting a rumor influence your behavior is like letting someone else make a big decision for you. Let's say you hear that a teacher plans to call a Snowy Day tomorrow because a blizzard（暴风雪） is coming. Expecting a day off, you don't do your homework as usual. The next morning, the blizzard turns out to be nothing more than a drizzle(毛毛雨), and school isn't off atter all. You get zeroes on your work.

Why do many people take vacations frequently? We need to take time out from work to relax,

and just be ourselves. 36_ .We should all be allowed to leave our jobs behind us-----at least for a

few weeks each year-and just have fun. This might be something as simple as reading a good book

in front of a warm fireplace through to traveling to the most interesting places on our planet.

Whatever we fancy doing is worth taking time out for.

As we know, workplace stress is on the rise. 37_ .These include disease, depression and even death.

My plan is to just enjoy the fleeting（飞逝的）moments of being alive.

39_ Spend your next vacation the way you want; Do what will restore your mental health.

You're very valuable to the people who are close to you, and to those who depend on it. Like it or not, we are all interdependent（互相依存的）in this great life of ours.

and take a deep breath. Remind yourself that there will never be anyone like you ever on this earth

again. 40_And only you know how to take a vacation in your way 1you have to do is just ask yourself what you want to do.

C. When you finally get home you'll be greatly refreshed.
