24、More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It’s fun, healthy and good for the environment. Maybe that’s why there are more and more bicycles on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
However, two centuries ago, when bicycles were first invented, they were used only for transportation. In the eighteenth century, people usually traveled by horse and wagon(马车). In 1817, an early “bicycle” was made in Germany. Its frame(车架) was made of wood. It didn’t have any pedals(踏板). People had to push with their feet. In the 1830s, the first bicycle was invented. Pedals were made for the bicycle. In the 1860, Frenchman Pierre Miehaux and his son gave the bicycle a new look. In 1867, they brought the bicycle to the world Expo(世博会). Since then, the bicycle was more and more popular in Europe. In the 1870s, the front wheel was much larger than the back one. This made it very hard to ride. It was also very expensive. In the 1890s, bicycles with same—sized wheels came out in North America and Western Europe. They were much safer, cheaper and more comfortable.
In China there are shared bikes on the roads. They have saved us a lot of time during emergency situations, and on beautiful, clear days. However, bicycling is not easy in our city. There are no bicycle lanes(车道), and bikers have to travel next to cars in car lanes.

26、 The pencil is a very simple object. However, it took hundreds of people over centuries to make it what it’s like today.
The story of the pencil starts with graphite(石墨). People cut it into small sticks and use them to write or draw. Around 1560, an Italian couple named Simoni and Lyndiana Bemacotti added wood holders to the graphite sticks. However, since the graphite is too soft, the pencils were easy to break. In 1795, in France, Nicolas-Jacques Conte worked out a method of mixing graphite powders with clay(黏土). In this way, people made strong pencil core(铅笔芯). To this day, the method is still used in making pencils.
It was Henry David Thoreau who came up with the grading scale(分级量表) for different hardnesses of pencils. It was graded one through four, and grade two is the proper hardness for general use. The softer the pencil is, the more graphite it has in it, and the darker the line is. The harder the pencil is, the more clay it has, and the lighter the line is. Nowadays, pencils marked 2B are usually used in exams to mark answers. Pencils marked HB are usually used in daily writing. People usually use pencils of different hardness and blackness to draw different parts of a picture.
When pencils were handmade, they were made round. Then an American Joseph Dixon developed machines to make pencils. Later people found out it was easier and less wasteful to make a pencil which has six sides.
There is a pencil for everyone and every pencil has a story. The Blackwing 602 is famous for being used by a lot of writers. And then, you have the Dixon pencil company. It’s what people think of when they think of a pencil and what they most probably will buy when their children are about to write.
In my opinion, there’s nothing that can be done to make the pencil better than it is.
【1】Who improved the hardness of pencils?
A.Joseph Dixon. B.Nicolas-Jacques.
C.Henry David Thoreau. D.Simoni and Lyndiana Bemacotti.
【2】What can we learn about pencils?

A.Pencils are the best writing tool. B.There are many kinds of pencils.
C.The Blackwing 602 is very expensive. D.Dixon pencils are popular with people.
【4】What does the underlined word “it” mean in Paragraph 4?

28、 Moblog is a combination of two words. The first word is mobile, which means a mobile camera. The second word is blog, a website for posting words and pictures.
