The bikes are clearly designed for very short trips.TFL says it sees a “cycle revolution” happening in London. It predicts th

27、utes each evening, right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting be banned by law.Let us take a serious look at what the results might be if such a suggestion were accepted.

28、 talk to one another. It is well known that many of our problemseverything, in fact, from the generation gap（代沟） to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illnessesare caused at least in part by the failure to communicate.
