Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254.When he was 17,he travelled across Europe and Asian along the Silk Road with his father,who wanted to do trade with the Chinese.Finally they arrived in Beijing.They were guests at the Emperor's Palace.Although Marco was young,he was very clever and could speak four languages.The Emperor was impressed by him and they became friends.He asked Marco to serve in his court and sent him to do many important tasks across the country.
Marco was amazed by how beautiful China was.He was impressed bu Beijing and the Emperor's Palace,especially the Summer Palace which he described as "The greatest palace that ever was…"The walls were covered in gold and silver and the hall was so large it could easily seat 6,000people for dinner."
There were inventions and developments in China which couldn't focused in Europe at that time.Marco was surprised to see Chinese people using paper money in the markets.In Europe,people paid for goods with gold and silver.He could not understand how people pay for food and valuable things with paper! He was also puzzled by the black stones people used to burn to produce heat.The black stones were coal,but Marco had never seen coal before!
In 1291,after 17years of service to the Emperor,Marco returned to Italy.He was now a very wealthy man.A writer wrote down all the stories that Marco told him in a book called The Description of the World,which became one of the best﹣selling books in Europe.
Although people enjoyed reading the book,many of them thought that Marco's stories about China were too fantastic to be true.But Marco always stood by his tales.Just before he died,aged 70,Marco was asked the question,"Was it all true?"And this was his answer:"I have only told a half what I saw!"

Recent years have witnessed the returning of bikes across China. An increasing number of people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike﹣sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many. cities. Mobike had 5.85million active users while Ofo had 1.4million in the first week of this year.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They're popular among many Chinese people
because they help solve "last﹣mile" problems in cities. For example, many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trains or to travel around the city.
However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal(非法的) parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and theft. In February, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention(行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.
In fact, these problems are also shared by bike﹣sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, V6lib is the largest public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism or theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.
Now, Chinese service Organizations are also trying to deal with these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100﹣point credit score(信用分数) for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental(租金) will be increased from 1yuan to 100yuan per 30minutes.

Although many people read online,books have not gone out of fashion,In Beijing,Guangzhou and Shanghai,lucky passengers may find books somewhere on the underground.
The Fair,an online publishing company,has put 10000books on the underground,planes and taxis to make people more interested in reading.This project is called "Mobook".
"Mobook" gets its idea from "Books on the Underground",a community project in London.The purpose of "Books on the Underground" is to encourage people to read more.Zhang Wei,the CEO of the Fair also wanted to do something in China. He sent an e﹣mail to Ms. Cordelia Oxley,the leader of "Books on the Underground",describing his plan and explaining the rules of "Mobook". The leader replied to him in just two hours,saying that she thought the idea was great and she would offer help if needed.
But "Mobook" project is a little different from that in London. It has its own online system.People who want to donate books must give their information online. QR code stickers(二维码标签) are then set to their addresses.The book owners should stick them on the books before donating books and readers can know where the books are with the help of QR codes.
"Mobook" is a hot topic.Now thousands of bookworms have already taken part in the project.Zhang Wei said,"I am happy to see more and more people share their views(观点)about the books online and enjoy the happiness that reading brings to them."

Many people run for exercise.But what will you do if you are not a"born"runner or jogger (慢跑者)?You may still want a kind of exercise that's inexpensive and easy to do.Why not try walking?
Walking requires no special equipment (装备).It is a kind of exercise that almost any normal,healthy person can do.Walking is good for your health like jogging or running; it will just take longer.Jogging and running make your heart work harder than walking.They also put more stress on your legs and feet than walking does.
The problem with walking is that most people don't take it seriously.But there's a big difference between serious walking and the walking that most of us do.Walking,like jogging,should have a steady and continuous motion (稳健而持续的动作).
If you want to get your exercise by walking,you need to have your own walking plan.After all,runners and joggers set goals for themselves.Walkers need goals,too.You also need to set a course to walk.Start by walking about 15﹣30minutes a day.Increase your time and distance (距离) slowly.And try increasing your walking speed little by little.
If you prefer to jog or run,follow the same advice.Start off slowly.Spend most of the first few days just walking.Then,start walking and running on the same day.Run or jog a short distance,then walk for a while,then,run,then walk.Follow that pattern for 15﹣30minutes a day.Slowly make each run longer and each walk shorter.Later on,you can increase your distance,speed and exercise time.

An 8.3﹣magnitude(里氏8.3级)earthquake can often cause fallen buildings and hundreds or even thousands of victims.But only 13 people were killed in the powerful earthquake in Chile on Sept 16,2015.That is the most surprising thing.
According to New York Times.Chile had spent quite a lot of money on the project of making its buildings stronger.Also,it had changed its tsunami(海啸)warning system.Both of these helped prevent a disaster in the country.
Besides,strict laws and rules have made people more ready for earthquakes.Schools have increasingly started doing drills(演练),all society is filled with creative ways to keep safe in earthquakes.
Chile,a South American country,is one of the places where earthquakes are most likely.Its 17 million people have been taught more than enough information about earthquake.The strongest earthquakes ever recorded happened in Chile:a 9.5﹣magnitude earthquake in 1960 that killed more than 5,000 people.And most recently,an 8.8﹣magnitude earthquake in central Chile in 2010 killed more than 500 people and destroyed 220,000 homes.
The 2010 earthquake was 5.6 times more powerful than the 2015 earthquake.And the 2010 earthquake hit in the middle of the night,while the 2015 earthquake happened during an evening when many people were outside for barbecues and other celebrations before the country's Independence Day on Sept 18.
The biggest problem in 2010 was human mistakes.The government failed to warn people to move off the coast after the earthquake hit near the southern city of Concepcion.
The government made no such mistakes this time giving tsunami warnings minutes after the earthquake hit.To reduce more risk in the earthquake,classes were canceled and factories closed across the country on Sept 17.

"Jamila,I just found one dollar sitting on the coffee table,"said Mrs.Johnson."Is that your money?"
Jamila looked up from the book she was reading."Oops,it's mine.I emptied my jacket pockets before I left for basketball practice yesterday.I was running late,so I didn't have time to take it up to my room."Jamila placed it quickly in the back of her book and went back to reading.

How to Start and Keep a Good Conversation Going
How to Start a good conversation
"Hi,my name is Sara.""I'm Frank.Nice to meet you."
Introductions,like the one above,are a great way to begin a good conversation.When you introduce yourself,be confident and comfortable.That will make others comfortable,too.After the introduction,wait a bit.If the other person doesn't ask a question,you ask one.Starting with a question shows interest in the other person.You could ask "What do you do?"or "How do you know our host?"But asking something a little different shows you are clearly different."What did you do last weekend?"and "Have you seen any good movies recently?"are two topics you could ask about.Another good way to start with is "Tell me about yourself."Most people love talking about themselves.
How to keep a good conversation going
As the other person begins to answer your question,look for the same opinion.If you ask about last weekend,the person could talk about a bike ride they took.When the person finishes his opinions,you could mention an experience that you had with biking.You can then move on to discussing other sports the person may be interested in.
When the other person is talking,be interested in them.Listen carefully to their answers.Don't look around the room.That gives the other person the message that you are not really interested in them.
If you are answering the question,don't go on and on.Answer the question and then stop.A good conversation is like a tennis game where the ball goes back and forth.
With some practice,you'll be able to start and keep a conversation going with anyone!
