Bike﹣sharing has swept across China， with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving． The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it． And those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public． Bike﹣sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily．
In some cities， we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing bikes． It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone． First， you have to download such an APP on your smart phone． Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP， scan the QR code（二维码）on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection． You will find the bike can be unlocked itself．
Then you can enjoy your trip． What's more， the greatest advantage of bike﹣sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it． The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend． Normally， every hour you ride， you need to pay one yuan． It doesn't cost so much， does it？
At the same time， some people park the bikes in their own homes． Besides， some people don't valuethe bikes． Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen．
Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles． We have to say bike﹣sharing brings us more convenience without doubt． And we also hope that people can not only enjoy it but also put it to good use．

Playing for Friendship
Ping pong，or table tennis，might seem like an ordinary game to play with friends or family，but it holds a special place in China﹣US relations，as it has helped both countries get along for the last 50 years.This has been called "ping pong diplomacy （乒乓外交）".
Judy Hoarfrost was just 15 years old when she was sent from the US to China as part of a nine﹣ member table tennis team.The year was 1971.and for the past 20 years，relations between China and the US had been unfriendly.

"The most unforgettable moment was Zhou shaking hands with me and looking into my eyes，" Hoarfrost told China Daily. "You have opened a new page in China﹣US relationships，" Zhou told the team.
In the years that followed the historic visit，ties between the two countries started to blossom.US president Richard Nixon would make a landmark （里程碑） visit to China in 1972，which also saw Chinese table tennis players make their own visit to the US，according to China Daily.Diplomatic relations between the US and China were fully established （建立） in 1979.
Players from both countries believed strongly in the idea of "friendship first.competition second".To this day，many of them remain friends.Hoarfrost thinks we should remember ping pong diplomacy in order "to understand the importance of people﹣to﹣ people exchanges in establishing bonds，human bonds between peoples. "

It seems that food deliverymen （送货员） are always rushing in haste.We can always see them running every minute，and they seem to have lots of things to do the next minute.They wear blue，red or yellow helmets （头盔） and many of them don't follow traffic rules.They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights.They use mobile phones when they are driving.

To solve the problem，food delivery service companies need to do some changes.Some cities are also taking action.Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety.Now in Shenzhen，if a deliveryman breaks traffic rules more than twice，then he can't do the job for a whole year.
