Hi, everyone, I’m Jane. Two years ago, my husband bought me a bicycle. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don’t have to worry about parking. You can leave it anywhere. As it has a seat at the back and a basket in the front, I can take my small daughter to school, to the library, to the shops, and to anywhere.
I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the snow is heavy. Of course, you must be careful on a bicycle. Accidents are not the only problem. One day I went shopping with my friends. But when I came back, I found that my bike’s front wheel was missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop. Now I have three strong locks(锁).
My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still uses his car for longer journeys, but I think that all the sitting down is making him fat and lazy. I like riding on my bicycle because I can exercise a lot and get much fresh air, and this makes me feel much younger.
【小题1】Jane thinks a bicycle is __________ than a car if you live in a town.
【小题2】It’s convenient to use a bicycle because you can ride it to anywhere and needn’t worry about __________.
【小题3】When it is __________ in summer, Jane rides her bicycle.

1In the United States people sometimes go camping for vacation． Instead of staying at modern hotels and restaurants，they live in the woods and do everything for themselves for a few days to relax．

When you are camping，you make all of your own food．It is rather like a large，many-day picnic．Barbeques(烤肉架) are very common while camping．You can bring meat and vegetables to the camp．To make a fire，you can find or bring your own wood and light it with a lighter(打火机)．

2Remember to put stones around the fire so that it won’t get too big and dangerous! When the fire is ready，you can cook food over it．Besides meat and vegetables，you can also cook marshmallows(果酱软糖) with the fire．

Children really like this activity at night．The whole family sit around the fire，eat marshmallows，and drink hot chocolate—especially when it is cold outside! Everyone can sing camping songs and dance together．

Camping is a fun activity for the family to do．Vacation does not have to mean going to visit faraway places，it could be as simple as setting up a tent in a nearby forest!
