No Car Day was first started by 34 cities in France on September 22, 1998. It was started to protect the environment. By now, more than 1,000 cities around the world have had a No Car Day.
The first No Car Day in China was in Chengdu in 2001. Other cities, including Taipai, Shanghai and Wuhan, also support the day.
In Beijing, more and more people are joining the campaign. It asks drivers to leave their cars at home for one day each month and walk or ride a bike to work. It also calls on Beijingers not to use cars on June 5(World Environment Day). The slogan for the day is, “If we drive for one less day, we can have one more nice day.”
So far, more than 200,000 drivers have shown their support. “We can’t control the weather, but we can choose not to drive,” said Wu Zonghua, a car club chairman.

Do you like dogs? Do you know the following things about dogs?
The first pet dog
Dogs are meat-eating animals. They belonged to the family of wolves (狼) a long time ago. About 15,000 years ago, people started keeping wolves for hunting (狩猎). Over the time, the wolves began to look like dogs and they became people’s pets.
What a dog looks like
Dogs come in different sizes, colors and shapes, but they’re the same in some ways. All kinds of dogs have a set of forty-two strong teeth for eating. They have sharp claws (利爪) at the end of their feet for digging up soil (挖土) and holding onto the ground when they walk. They have very good eyesight. They also have high ability (能力) to hear and smell.
How a dog grows
A mother dog gives birth to one to twelve babies at a time. New-born baby dogs cannot see or hear until they are two weeks old. The mother dog gives the baby dogs milk. When they are four weeks old, they start eating soft food. When they’re eight weeks, the baby dogs have very strong legs and they can go for long walks.
How to read a dog’s feelings
Dogs act differently when they have different feelings. When a dog is angry, it opens its mouth and shows its teeth. When a dog is frightened, it lowers its ears and holds its tail (尾巴) between its legs. A happy dog always wags (摇摆) its tail.

One day my chair had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty getting it fixed (修理) as there were many furniture shops nearby. So I left home with the chair. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop was just the same, and the third and the fourth.
I entered another shop with a plan in my mind. I said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy the chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty dollars,” I said. “OK,” he said. “It’s got a broken leg,” I told him. “Yes, I noticed that. It’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to the plan. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, I’ll sell it after fixing it.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, but I’ve changed my mind.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped (目的达到).“I know what you want. You want me to fix the chair,” he said. “We don’t do repairs (修理), not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll fix this for you.”
