I moved to Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹) ten years ago. In the ten years, I found riding bicycles is a popular way of getting around Amsterdam. Mo st people here go to school or work by bicycle. And there are many roads and traffic signs (交通标记) for bicycles in Amsterdam. So, if you travel here, you don’t need to take a bus or a taxi, just ride a bicycle. You can get to more places by bicycle than by any other way. There are lots of bicycle shops in Amsterdam. If you don’t want to buy a bicycle, you can go to bicycle rental (出租) shops to rent one. They are in almost every place of the city. It is necessary for you to find a guide when traveling in Amsterdam. Because he would take you to some of the city’s most beautiful places.
Riding bicycles in Amsterdam is of great fun and relaxing. Remember to follow the traffic rules.

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect (影响) on the poor，but once a person has a rich life，a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.
If money was everything，all millionaires (百万富翁) would have true love， true friendship，good health and a long life. However，this is not always true. Many of them are not happy, and die earlier.

Of all the longest living people in the world，few of them are millionaires. True friendship can’t be bought either. In a word，Where money is worshiped(崇拜)，money can cause brothers to quarrel，lovers to hate，strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have，it is still not enough to make you a happy person, if you have no one to laugh with，no one to cry for.
