Today some people call Amsterdam the “City of Bicycles” because it is a city which is flat and convenient (方便的) for bicycles.
In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans      an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if the city only allows (允許) bicycles to go in the streets in the city centre. They were    that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide free public transport. The group painted hundreds of bicycles       and placed them in public places around Amsterdam for people to use.      could take them and use them for short journeys, whether he was a local or a foreigner. Whenever someone finished a journey, they would    the bike there for someone else to use. The problem was that it didn't work because     took all the bicycles within weeks!
    more than thirty years later, the “white bike” is back in town---this time with a computer chip (芯片) to  its      very move! To take a bicycle, you have to put a special card inside. The new “white bike” is not white any more but is an unusual       with bright colors. The bikes are parked at special parking places and people who want to use them have to take them to another place that has enough room.
There is already less traffic in central Amsterdam, because both locals and tourists are      the white bikes every day. Thanks to the good ideas of lots of people, like the cycling fans in the 1960s, many people around the world have been enjoying city centre streets without cars for many years.

What do you think of stress? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Most of the students think stress can do harm       them in some ways. There’s a story about a teenager in a middle school. He even       his study because of the stress from school and family. We also usually        that someone turns to psychological (心理的)doctors because of heavy working stress. There is no doubt that some people think stress is a dangerous wolf.
On the other hand, other people argue that stress is not a bad thing. They       stress can produce momentum(動(dòng)力)in the end. For them, right attitude and action can reduce stress and make it        . When I was a child, my mom always pushed me to study hard. She wished I could go to an ideal        for further education. I experienced stress for the first time. Born to a poor family, I deeply knew        was not easy for us, and everything my mom did to me was just to hope I could live a better life in the future.        the saying goes, “no pains, no gains.” So I did what my mom expected because I didn’t want to let her down. At last, I did measure up(達(dá)到標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) to my mom’s expectation and go to college       . Thanks to my mom’s push! Thanks to the stress! In this way, I don’t think stress is a bad thing.
Overall, stress is not a bad thing in       . The key is how we deal with it.
