When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I 1my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could 2have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my3outside in the back yard. At once I 4out to the yard. There was my bike, 5it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so6! I thought I7 my parents' feelings because I could see the disappointment8their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I 9the old bike and rode it, feeling 10that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn't 11 ...
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me12 much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about 13 .When you give something out of love, it doesn't matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this 14because giving a gift is not about money. It's about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that 15two dollars isn't any less valuable（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.

At the age of 16，Julia left school and worked at a restaurant. For many years, she was only interested in making money. Then one day she had a serious car accident which changed her life.“I had a terrible car accident in August 1996.It took me 10 months to recover （康复) from the accident. During that time，I realized I wanted to find a more meaningful reason for being here in this world，”said Julia.
As soon as she recovered，Julia gave up working at the restaurant and traveled to California. One day she found a big company wanted to cut down part of a forest. In the forest there were lots of redwood trees. One of the trees was more than 1,000 years old.
Then Julia learned a group called Our Earth was trying to save the redwood forest from the company. They decided to find someone to live in a redwood tree and hoped this would stop the company from cutting the trees down. Julia volunteered.
Julia lived in the tree for over two years without ever going down. It was cold and wet in a redwood tree. There were even very serious winter storms while Julia was in the tree.
Finally the company decided to protect the tree Julia lived in. They agreed never to cut down the big redwood tree or the trees around it. When Julia put her feet on the earth，she began to cry. But she continued to do other things to protect the environment.

①More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that's why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighbourhood. You may discover 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 benefit(受益) from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You don't even have to ride all the way.
②Folding(折叠) bikes work well for people when they ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline websites. ③Not all airlines（航空公司） are bicycle-friendly to travelers.
Health benefits of bicycling:
It helps to prevent heart disease.
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.
④________________________________________________ .
Exercise like bicycling has been shown to make people feel better, more relaxed and self-confident.
