Question

When Mr. Holland was a young man, he played a lot of football, and he was always thin and strong. But then he worked in an office for many years, and he drove to work in a car, so when he was 40, he was very fat.

One day, one of his colleagues(同事) said to him, “Would you like to be thinner. Fred?”

“Of course I would,” answered Mr. Holland.

“Well,” said his colleague, “stop going to the office by car, and get a bicycle.”

“It’s very hard to learn to ride a bicycle at your age,” said his wife(妻子).

However, it was not too hard for Mr. Holland to do. He usually sat in his living room and read the newspaper in the evening, but after he bought a bicycle for his birthday, he practised riding that every evening instead. He hoped that it would help him get thinner. Mr. Holland began to go to his office by bicycle sometimes when all the cars stopped at a red light, he would go past them to the front, because his bicycle was narrow. Then he was very happy. Yesterday he stopped at a red light, a man with glasses came up behind him on another bicycle. He stopped too and said to Mr. Holland. “Did the police take your driving license(驾照) away too?”
