At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors-sivler, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.Its fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly. To be safe,I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere occasionally .I didnt want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.4According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?ABecause they are convenient and inexpensive.BBecause they are traditional and safe .CBecause they are colorful and available.DBecause they are fast and environment friendly.5The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _ .Ato ride it for fun Bto use it for transportCto improve his riding skills Dto experience local culture6How did the author feel about his street crossing?AIt was difficult.
