初一英语阅读理解题
If you visit London,you’ll see a lot of buses and cars on the road.You’ll also see a lot of bikes because more and more people traver by bike.There are a lot of reasons for this.First,it is very cheap to buy a bike,and it is quick,too.You often have to wait for a bus for half an hour.When the bus comes,there are so many other buses and cars on the roads that the bus moves very slowly.
I travelled to work by bus for about four years.I often arrived at work late and tired.Then one day,about two years ago,a friend of mine said,“I go to work by bike.Why don’t we travel together?”I agreed.
The next day I bought a new bike.Although we went slowly,we arrived at work quickly.It took 40 minutes to go by bus,but only half an hour by bike!
Now I love riding a bike to work.I arrived at work quickly and I’ve got a little more money now,and more important,I feel healthy.Many people think my idea is good and maybe you’ll see more bikes on the road in the future.
