Mick Polly,an owner of a toy store,lives with his teenage daughter Carolina in Kentucky.He is known as the Bike Man.Over the past five years,Mick has built hundreds of bikes for needy kids.
One day in 2012,a 13﹣year﹣old boy with a broken bike walked by
Mick's house."I was working in my garage(车库),and he asked
if I could fix it,"says Mick,now 53.
The boy's bike had a broken wheel.Mick sent a post(帖子) on Facebook,asking his friends if they had the needed part.One friend saw the post and gave away two used bikes.Mick took parts from each to build a new set of wheels for the boy.
Soon after,Mick repaired a bike for the boy's brother and fixed one for his sister.Word spread,and during the year,he had fixed up lots of bikes for local kids whose parents were not able to afford new ones.
"People are throwing away bikes day and night,"says Mick.
Mick puts the bikes and bike parts in his garage."I take off the good tires or the handlebars or the seats and use them,"he says.
Up to now,the bike man has repaired hundreds of bikes and given away nearly 700 newly repaired bikes.They're free,but the kids must agree to two things:They have to learn how to put waste things to good use and they have to try their best to study in school.
If a kid's grades are low,Mick requires a teacher's note"saying that you're doing your best,"Mick says.Mick also hopes the bikes will get kids off the sofa."When I was growing up,we all rode our bikes,"he says."Hopefully these kids can get some exercise."

Now air pollution is getting worse and worse .The haze(雾霾)in China is serious. How much do you know about haze? Haze can also be called “Smog”. The word "smog" is from the words “smoke” and “fog”, it first appeared in the early 20th century, It is a kind of air pollution caused mostly by cars and factories.
Smog will be harmful(伤害)to your health, especially lungs(肺).It can make you cough and cause skin and eye problems. It seems that we can do nothing to stop it, but only wait until the wind blows all the smog away. However, there are some easy ways to prevent it hurting you. Here are some of them.
1. Don’t do exercise in the open.
Exercising in the open makes you breathe(呼吸)deeply, and you will take in the particles(颗粒物)deep into your lungs.
2. Stay indoors and keep the air clean.
If you can, just stay in your room and keep the doors and windows closed. Remember to air your room twice a day, you can open the window at noon or at night for half an hour.
3. Wear a mask.
Paper and cotton masks can not help you in the haze weather. Some special masks, such as N95 masks, can keep you from breathing in the particles in the air.
4. Change your diet.
Scientists find that vitamin A, C and E can greatly help protect your eyes, nose and lungs.
So eat more green vegetables and fresh fruit everyday. What’s more, do not eat food with too much fat(脂肪),it’s bad for your lungs.
