31、According to a Xinhua News Agency report, residents of China's five largest cities spent about 643 Yuan (US＄80.37) each on sport in 2005, with Beijing topping the survey at about 880 Yuan (US＄110) per person. (The five cities were Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Chengdu).

Chinese are more willing to part with hard-earned cash in pursuit (追求) of fitness than they were ten yeas ago. In addition to participating in a variety of fitness (健康) classes, many are now even seeking private training. Almost every new fitness or entertainment (娱乐) product or idea finds a willing audience among the public, whether riding bicycles or engaging in "hot" yoga.

A young organizer of a Beijing folding-bicycle club said, "We take exercise not only for our own fitness, but considering our social responsibilities. For example, every day we ride folding bicycles to and from our work places. This is our way of helping reduce pollution in Beijing. "

The city's elderly actively participate in many of the city's sports teams. In the early mornings in the park, it is easy to meet groups of the elderly using the national fitness facilities or practising taiji and kendo.

One participant said," we do not want to bring any burden to our children, so we care more about our health than ever before."

33、I arrived in the United States on February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o'clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. My friend left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.

Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn't speak a word of English, I couldn't tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very sad and started to make some gestures(手势), but the waiter didn't understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.

When I returned to the hotel, I was tired, but I couldn't sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police cars during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York.

35、Two years ago, my husband bought me a bike. If you live in a town, it is often faster than a car and you don't have to worry about parking. You leave it anywhere. As it has a seat at the back and a basket at the front, I can take my little daughter to school, to the library, to the shops, to anywhere.

I use it most in summer when the weather is warm and dry. It can be very unpleasant in winter when it is cold and the rain is heavy.

You must, of course, be careful on a bicycle. Accidents are not the only problem, though. One day I went shopping and came back to find my front wheel missing. It was a long walk to the bicycle shop. Now I have three strong locks.

My husband uses my bicycle sometimes for short journeys. He says it is better than waiting for a bus. He still uses his car for longer journeys, but I think that all day's sitting down is making him fat and lazy. On my bicycle I get a lot of exercises and fresh air, and this makes me feel a lot younger.
