Bikes are popular in the Netherlands.In fact,nearly half of all travel in the Netherlands is by bike.Now,one Dutch bike designer,Thomas,has taken the country’s interest in bikes by making a school bus bike.

The big bike has eight sets of pedals for kids,a driver seat for an adult,and three other seats,comfortably letting little kids for their trip to and from school.The bike even has a motor,which can help with high hills or at times when few kids on it.

So far,Thomas tells Fast Company,he’s sold 25 school-bikes,at a price of $25,000 each—less than it would cost to buy a traditional school bus with the same number of seats.Along with the traditional color,the bikes are colored yellow so that they can be seen easily.

Thomas says he’s sold school bus bikes to neighboring countries such as Belgium,England and Germany,but so far,the school bus bike hasn’t been sold in the United States.If the US agrees to buy this kind of school bus bike,it could do a lot of good to improve exercise for a young age and help them keep healthy.

The benefits of listening to music

Whether you like Beethoven or Mozart，there is one thing I think we can all agree on：music makes life better.

1.

Listening to music can reduce stress(壓力)

A lot of us may turn to relaxing music when we are feeling stressed or tired.A recent research shows that slow，quiet classical music is suggested to have the most exciting effect.2. Or listening to a relaxing，classical－style movie soundtrack can also help you reduce stress.

Listening to music can improve your memory(記憶力)

The interesting part about the research is that it shows music helps your brain develop in many areas，one of the most important being your memory.3.

4.

Do you work out？Have you always felt like you perform better when you listen to music？Strange as it might seem，there has actually been a lot of research done on this subject.And sure enough，one study shows that music can increase endurance(耐力)by 15%.5.However，another study suggests that it's not the type of music，but rather the speed of the music—the beats per minute—that matter.

A．Listening to music can make you healthier.

B．Listening to music can improve endurance.

C．The followings are some benefits of listening to music for us humans.

D．So if you have a hard time dealing with stress，listening to some classical songs could be a good idea.

E．So if you're troubled by a bad memory，learning to play an instrument is something you should consider.

F．One of my biggest regrets these days is that I never actually tried to learn to play the piano properly.

G．One theory is that listening to a classical piece helps you focus，which in turn allows you to persevere longer.

Summer is the perfect time to relax.As you plan for your trip,here are some tips on how to protect yourself. 1..

Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots.

There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions,which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore,mosquito repellent（驅(qū)蚊劑）that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.

2..

In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health.If you can't avoid unhealthful water,make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you.You'd better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water.

Always protect your feet.

It's best to wear slippers in the shower,but if you must be barefoot,put a towel down on the floor.3..You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country,including your hotel room.

Be sure to eat safe fruits.

4..They may have been washed in the same water,or wiped with the same rag used to clean work surfaces in kitchens.The best advice is to bring your own peeler（削皮器）so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit.

Enjoy the smell of roadside stands,not the food.

Unless the food is piping hot when served,it's best to stay away from roadside stands,no matter how good the smell of the food might be.If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean,order the food to go.5..

A.Don't trust the local water

B.Any fruit served fresh may be polluted

C.Look out for any water not served in a bottle

D.The boxes may be cleaner than the plate or fork on the table

E.You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruits

F.They are necessary to avoid coming back with a major illness from your trip

G.Parasites（寄生蟲）can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body
