Dear Mr. Headmaster,

I am Li Hua , a student from class one ,senior II . I am writing to draw

your attention to some improper behavior among us students : littering and

scribbling . It makes our school dirty and unpleasant , and does harm to the

image of our school . I always feel ashamed whenever I see this . It is clearly

not appropriate for a student to litter and scribble about. I wonder if the

school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules against such

behavior. At the same time , students should be encouraged to develop good

habits and better behave themselves.

I believe that , with the joint efforts of bother teachers and students

,our school will become a more enjoyable place in the near future. Thank for

your consideration.

前不久，中央电视台“焦点访谈”栏目曾就“中国式过马路”现象进行了不少采访和评论。请用英语写一篇100-120 词的短文，结合自己的所见所闻或亲身经历描述“行人闯红灯”(pedestrians run the red light)引发的若干问题，并就此提出一些解决措施。 注意;短文的开头已给出(不计词数)。

参考范文：

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.

There is a very common phenomenon around us that people just run the light totally ignoring the running vehicles, which can lead to serious consequences. Last week a traffic accident happened near our school, a rushing car knocked down a student who was running the red light. And because of the car’s sudden stop, several cars behind crashed into each other. Of course this caused a terrible traffic jam.

In my opinion, effective measures should be taken to solve the problem. First, we can make good use of the media, such as TV, newspaper, magazine, to raise people’s awareness of obeying the traffic rules and road safety. Second, government must make severe laws to punish people who dare to break the law and run the red light.

优秀作文：

Not long ago, CCTV “Focus Talk” carried out many interviews and made some relevant comments on the phenomena---“Crossing roads in the Chinese style”.

Take one of my experiences for example. It was a Tuesday and it rained cat and dog. There was only a few minutes left for me to go to school on time. I was so hurried that I ignored the red light. It was so dangerous for me that the car hardly hit me seriouly. From then on, I never dare to run the red light. I think it can lead to many problems. There is no doubt that it will not only make the traffic heavier but also lose your own life.

As far as I am concerned, it has profound significance to take actions. For the government, they should make laws and appeal to the importance of safety. For the other people, we should cherish our lives and obey the traffic rules.

Moms should get more than a special day, they should get a medal of honor.妈妈们应该得到的不只是一个节日，她们该获得荣誉勋章。

When I was sick, you always stood by me.当我生病时，您总是陪伴着我。

Considering the quality of food that children make their mothers on Mother’s Day, it becomes apparent that without moms, their kids would starve to death.想想母亲节时，孩子们为妈妈所做的早餐;很明显的，如果没有妈妈，孩子们将会饿死。

in some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned. what is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all. we may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. the whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. we have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. the sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing. no solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.

the truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. they are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement. if half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. in a welldirected effort, it would not be impossible to fulfil the ideals of a stable social programme. the benefits that can be derived from contructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. genuine and lasting solutions are always, possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.

before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other’s problems. and to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information, ‘talk, talk talk,’ the advocates of violence say, ‘all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser.’ it’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. after listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. ‘possibly, my lord’ the barrister replied, ‘none the wiser, but surely far better informed.’ knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.

due to darwins "evolution", man, willingly or not, has to admit that he is not descendents of adam and eve but rather a species equal to the monkeys, the cats and dogs in nature. although human beings claim to be the most sapient species, it is undeniable that they have a close kinship with the chimpanzees.in a word, we are animals, though more advantageous in mind than our wild or domesticated fellow living beings. but, is this a privilege of human beings to dominate the destinies of other spedes? sorrowfully, some people disregard the natural diversity and many species are in the danger of etinction due to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on withouttaking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human activities. no longer can the righteous people look on without taking an action.

human beings have always overrated themselves in that they assume they are superior creatures whose destiny is granted by god. in the early times, nature was antithetical to human cultures. people set out to conquer nature: they plowed the soil for grains to feed themselves; they fought against storms and tornadoes to safeguard their properties; they made use of tools to eploit natural resources. this struggle against nature precludes the understanding that nature is so generous to humans and it is harmony rather than conflict that has made human lives so comfortable. if the ancestors had not found ways to cope with natural disasters and bucked up again and again in face of peril, it would have been likely that human race might have gone etinct on the way of evolution.however, as human beings get more and more used to the development in their own societies, they,on the contrary, contribute to a nature that is increasingly dissonant and hostile, where other co-eisting species are on the edge of etinction.

it is not the natural evolution, like the glaciers, that caused many species to disappear. it is human activities that is to beblamed. deforestation deprives many bird colonies of their habitat. water pollution destroys the natural environment of aquatic animals. unimaginable numbers of species have to migrate and in search of new habitat, and they die. gulls and other seabirds stranded in the crude oil from ships could not fly to collect food,they die. when furs and hides of cheetahs, rhinos, and crocodiles are sold at good prices on the international market, they die. the prosperity of human society is bloodily indebted to lives of other plants and animal species, yet human beings keep from saving the animals and plants. the money spent on protection of endangered species is money spent worthwhile. so is the effort and time. just imagine one day another intelligent species wearing the leather of human skin.

in the history of human civilization, people have always relied on nature to achieve something of value. fundamentally, we breathe the oygen released by the plants; we enjoy the ravishing beauty of nature in our arts;we even rely on animals to produce eperimental evidence in developing medicines. we owe too much to the plants and animals. it is high time that we did something to prevent the world from becoming a drab and colorless planet, with only the human species living in sheer loneliness.

The Best Kind of Love

i’m young again!” she shouts euberantly.as my friend raves on about her new love, i’ve taken a good look at my old one. my husband of almost 20 years, scott, has gained 15 pounds. once a marathon runner, he now runs only down hospital halls. his hairline is receding and his body shows the signs of long working hours and too many candy bars. yet he can still give me a certain look across a restaurant table and i want to ask for the check and head home.

when my friend asked me “what will make this love last?” i ran through all the obvious reasons: commitment, shared interests, unselfishness, physical attraction, communication. yet there’s more. we still have fun. spontaneous good times. yesterday, after slipping the rubber band off the rolled up newspaper, scott flipped it playfully at me: this led to an all-out war. last saturday at the grocery, we split the list and raced each other to see who could make it to the checkout first. even washing dishes can be a blast. we enjoy simply being together.and there are surprises. one time i came home to find a note on the front door that led me to another note, then another, until i reached the walk-in closet. i opened the door to find scott holding a “pot of gold” (my cooking kettle) and the “treasure” of a gift package. sometimes i leave him notes on the mirror and little presents under his pillow.there is understanding. i understand why he must play basketball with the guys. and he understands why, once a year, i must get away from the house, the kids -and even him -to meet my sisters for a few days of nonstop talking and laughing.

there is sharing. not only do we share household worries and parental burdens - we also share ideas. scott came home from a convention last month and presented me with a thick historical novel. though he prefers thrillers and science fiction, he had read the novel on the plane. he touched my heart when he eplained it was because he wanted to be able to echange ideas about the book after i’d read it.

there is forgiveness. when i’m embarrasssingly loud and crazy at parties, scott forgives me. when he confessed losing some of our savings in the stock market, i gave him a hug and said, “it’s okay. it’s only money.”there is sensitivity. last week he walked through the door with that look that tells me it’s been a tough day. after he spent some time with the kids, i asked him what happened. he told me about a 60-year-old woman who’d had a stroke. he wept as he recalled the woman’s husband standing beside her bed, caressing her hand. how was he going to tell this husband of 40 years that his wife would probably never recover? i shed a few tears myself. because of the medical crisis. because there were still people who have been married 40 years. because my husband is still moved and concerned after years of hospital rooms and dying patients.

there is faith. last tuesday a friend came over and confessed her fear that her husband is losing his courageous battle with cancer. on wednesday i went to lunch with a friend who is struggling to reshape her life after divorce. on thursday a neighbor called to talk about the frightening effects of alzheimer’s disease on her father-in-law’s personality. on friday a childhood friend called long-distance to tell me her father had died. i hung up the phone and thought, this is too much heartache for one week. through my tears, as i went out to run some errands, i noticed the boisterous orange blossoms of the gladiolus outside my window. i heard the delighted laughter of my son and his friend as they played. i caught sight of a wedding party emerging from a neighbor’s house. the bride, dressed in satin and lace, tossed her bouquet to her cheering friends. that night, i told my husband about these events. we helped each other acknowledge the cycles of life and that the joys counter the sorrows. it was enough to keep us going.finally, there is knowing. i know scott will throw his laundry just shy of the hamper every night; he’ll be late to most appointments and eat the last chocolate in the bo. he knows that i sleep with a pillow over my head; i’ll lock us out of the house at a regular basis, and i will also eat the last chocolate.

i guess our love lasts because it is comfortable. no, the sky is not bluer: it’s just a familiar hue. we don’t feel particularly young: we’ve eperienced too much that has contributed to our growth and wisdom, taking its toll on our bodies, and created our memories.i hope we’ve got what it takes to make our love last. as a bride, i had scott’s wedding band engraved with robert browning’s line “grow old along with me!” we’re following those instructions.

“if anything is real, the heart will make it plain.”

2016年全国高考共有9套语文试卷，其中教育部考试中心统一命制三套，另有北京、天津、上海、浙江、江苏、山东分省自主命制6套。9套语文试卷中共有作文试题10道。其中北京卷采用二选一模式(议论文与记叙文二选一)。10道作文试题中有8道采用材料作文题型，2道采用命题作文题型，即北京卷的“‘老腔’何以令人震撼?”、“神奇的书签”。材料作文题型仍然居于主导地位。下面试对2016年高考作文试题特点作扼要解析。

一、命题彰显“立德树人”导向

通观9套试卷10道作文试题，命题的“立德树人”导向非常鲜明。“文以载道，文道统一”是中国写作教育的传统。高考作文命题渗透社会主义核心价值观，引导学生修德砺行，陶冶心性，这是应然的选择。如全国卷III“小羽的创业故事”这一作文材料取材于当下社会真实的新闻人物事迹，它给人以多样的启迪，诸如分享、合作与共赢，创新、规则与诚信，团队意识与领导意识，市场竞争与规范等等，考生通过写作，能从中开阔视野、受益匪浅。又如山东卷的“行囊”，以象征性意象“行囊”为载体，引导考生思考该如何度过人生，如何迎应旅途中的风雨，让考生在写作中自省人生的态度、感悟生命的意义。又如上海卷的“评价他人的生活”，这道作文试题引导学生去主动观察周围人的生活，去审视社会，学会关爱他人，体察现实，走出自我封闭的狭隘圈子。“风声、雨声、读书声，声声入耳;家事、国事、天下事，事事关心”，今年的高考作文命题围绕着学生自我、家庭、学校、社会这四个层面取材，角度各异，但都聚焦于“立德树人”这一核心，旨在让考生在书面作文的过程中也经历一次思想的淬炼与情感的淘洗。

二、材料作文命题形式灵活

从材料呈现形式看，有文字材料，有漫画材料;有“材料+直陈话题”(命题者在题干中直接标明“话题”)的形式，如天津卷的“我的青春阅读”，上海卷的“评价他人的生活”;也有“材料+内隐话题”(在材料的引导语中给出写作的话题范围)，如全国卷II的“语文素养提升”，浙江卷的“虚拟与现实”，江苏卷“彰显个性与创新意识”等。有故事性材料，如全国卷III的“小羽的创业故事”;也有导语性材料，如山东卷的“行囊”等。此外，北京卷作文题虽然采用的是完全命题类型，但在标题之前还是给出了引导语材料，或者巧妙地与试卷内的阅读文本关联，构成读写迁移的写作模式。

三、材料作文取材丰富多样

1.关注学校生活，贴近学生实际。如全国I卷的漫画作文“奖惩之后”的试题材料取自学校生活中大家司空见惯的关于考分高低与奖惩不一的现象。这道题取材贴近学生学习实际，具有纵深的思维空间，可以满足不同层次思维深度的考生自由发挥。又如天津卷的“我的青春阅读”，这道作文试题朝气蓬勃，切合阅读方式多元化的大时代潮流，它要求考生围绕自己的阅读方式，结合个人的体验和思考，谈自己的青春阅读，这直接指向了学生的阅读素养，贴近他们的生活实际。

2.紧扣时代脉搏，突出焦点问题。如江苏卷的“是彰显个性还是提倡创新”具有鲜明的时代感。创新是当下时代的主潮，追求“个性”、标新立异是年轻人的标识之一。作文材料引导语从“有话则长，无话则短”与“有话则短，无话则长”这两句矛盾的俗语中导出“个性”与“创新”的话题，由浅入深，这对于激发学生的言说热情无疑具有有极大的诱惑力。又如浙江卷的“虚拟与现实”，材料摄取当下时代的科技新潮——VR(虚拟现实)设备的应用前景，由此导出一个值得思辨与探究的热点话题：当虚拟世界中的“虚拟”越来越成为现实世界中的“现实”时，是选择拥抱这个新世界还是远离，或者与它保持适当距离?

3.回归学科本体，反馈学习体验。如全国卷II的“语文素养提升”，要求考生就“课上有效教学”“课外大量阅读”“社会实践活动”这三种学习方式，从自己的角度来分析，谈如何提高语文素养。这道作文题与语文学科无缝衔接，引导学生反思、总结、梳理自身的语文语文学习体验，这样的作文命题返璞归真，正本清源，意在让考生人人有话可说，能说得实在、具体、自然。

4.折射社会生活，联系当下现实。如全国卷III的“小羽的创业故事”。该材料是对福建福安一位茶农——薛舒云创新致富先进事迹的改写，洋溢着当下时代的生活气息。材料内涵一个多层次的具有复杂因果关系的故事，蕴含有“创新”“规范”“个体”“团队”“市场”“应变”“合作”“分享”“共赢”等显性或隐性的关键词，可以充分激活学生探究本质的审辩式思维。又如上海卷的“评价他人生活”，引导考生关注身边的人，关注他者，关注社会，这对于培养当代青年的公民意识、社群意识、克服极端自我中心的倾向是很有启示与引领作用的。

四、注重考查学生的阅读积淀

纵观今年的高考作文试题，考查学生阅读素养的指向极其鲜明。如天津卷的“我的青春阅读”，要求考生围绕“阅读方式”谈自己的阅读体验;北京卷的“神奇的书签”，要求表现“爱读书，读好书”的主题;全国卷II的“语文素养提升”，要求谈自己的语文学习经历;这些都指向了学生的阅读积淀。“问渠那得清如许，为有源头活水来?”阅读是写作的重要源泉，高考作文命题指向学生的阅读素养，这一导向善莫大焉，它对于培植书香人口，营造书香社会，无疑起到了助推的作用。

五、着重考查学生的思维品质

“思维发展与提升”是语文学科核心素养之一。今年高考作文试题都不约而同地呈现出着重考查学生思维品质的鲜明特点。

1.思维的深度：作文命题给考生预留了纵深的思维空间，可以检测不同层次考生的思维水平。如全国卷I的漫画作文试题“奖惩之后”，首先检测的是从形象到抽象的思维转换能力。考生对漫画内容解读深度的不同，就可能形成深浅不一的认知。再如全国卷II要求考生结合自己的语文学习经历阐述三种途径对自己语文学习的影响，体验之深浅、经历之丰瘠不同的考生，自有深度有别的言说。

2.思维的广度：作文命题给考生预留了立意与选材的广阔空间，可以检测考生的思维广度。如山东卷的“行囊”，题干中提示道：“有的东西很快用到了，有的暂时用不上，有的想用而未曾准备，有的会一直随着我们走向远方……”“行囊”是什么?“行囊”与“旅途”有怎样的关系?你应该怎样准备行囊?考生可以充分调动自己的生活积淀，选择自己有切身体会的事来写。

3.思维的批判性：作文试题给考生预留了争议、论辩、深入探究的思维空间，可以检测考生的批判性思维。如江苏卷的由“有话则长，无话则短”与“无话则短，有话则长”这两种对立的观点，可以引发出考生的批判性思维，由此引申出有关“个性”与“创新”话题的深入论辩与分析。这要求考生能在对司空见惯的观点的重新审视与思辨的过程中，彰显自己批判性思维的锋芒。

4.思维的求异性：作文试题着重引导考生以“我手写我心”，能基于自己的独立思考作出权衡、判断、分析、阐释、论证。如上海卷的“评价他人的生活”，由于个人生活经历、家庭与教育背景、人生观、价值观、世界观等的不同，对于他人生活的评价，必然是见仁见智的。

5.思维的创造性：作文试题突出对考生创造性思维的考查，检测其提出问题与解决问题的能力。如北京卷的“神奇的书签”这道命题作文，题干要求写成记叙文，它侧重考查学生的想象力与创造力。立意、构思与选材，都应扣住关键词“神奇”，应将“书签”的与众不同的特异的功能、材质等方面的特点通过具体的情节或细节表现出来，这需要考生的创造性的思维。比如，这枚“书签”是高科技装备的的，具有判别书籍内容优劣的功能，具有时间管理的功能等等，考生完全可以采用科幻或童话体式来叙述“神奇的书签”与“我”之间的故事，从而表达热爱读书这一主题。

六、充分激活学生的表达欲望

纵观2016年10道高考作文试题，可以看出，充分激活学生自由表达的欲望，释放其书面表达的创造性潜能，这是高考作文命题演进的大趋势。为此，命题者在鲜活材料内容，降低审题难度，增加选择自由度这三方面作了改进。

首先，作文试题素材的选择上努力向学生熟悉的生活实际靠拢，引入学校、家庭、社会现实的鲜活材料、时新话题，让学生觉得有话要说，能各抒己见、畅所欲言。

其次，作文试题在材料内容的剪裁与题干要求的语言表述上，力求简约、明了，降低审题难度，减少审题障碍，利于考生临场快速立意构思成文。命题者或在题干中用排比句式给出多个立意切入点。或用对比句式给出思辨的争议点，或用设问句式点拨考生以思维的突破口，或者直接用短语明示话题，或者在提示语内涵隐性的话题关键词，这些都为考生快速、准确地审题与立意作了很好的铺垫。

此外，命题者在文体选择、题目拟定、立意指向，都给考生腾出了充分的自主选择与自由发挥的空间。

减负后，你有了更多的可自由支配的时间。请写一篇短文，记述你上周末的活动及感受。内容需包括：

1. 你和父母或你和同学(朋友)的一次外出活动;

2. 你的自主学习活动;

3. 你的感受。

注意：1.不可逐条翻译;2.词数不少于100词。

【参考范文】

Since our learning burden was reduced, we have had much more time to enjoy ourselves and develop our own abilities.

Last Saturday, I, together with my friends Zhang Ming and Li Hua, went to the bookstore. We had intended to buy some books to be used as extra homework. But we found that there were so many wonderful books, such as Chicken Soup for the Soul, that we just could not bear to put them down. At last after much mental struggle, we each bought 5 books, including 3 different copies of Chicken Soup for the Soul, so that we could exchange after reading.

Of course I did not forget my academic study. After I finished my homework, I previewed what to be learned in the next week. I also went online to get some information about what I did not understand in my studies, from which I gained a lot of knowledge.

In a nutshell, reducing the learning burden not only gives us more time to have fun but also offers a freedom to develop on our own.

The benefit of volunteering

As we all know, volunteering has a meaningful and positive impact on the community you serve and the people you help. In the meanwhile, it can have many benefits for you, too. In my opinion, there are two reasons to

volunteer: feel good about yourself while helping others; build your portfolio.

On one hand, volunteering makes you feel good about yourself on a purely selfish level. There are few things more satisfying than helping people. Hammering nails on a new home while the owner beams with pride right next to you is an amazing feeling. Walking or running to raise funds for a cause close to your heart helps to give you a sense of purpose and helps you realize just how lucky you are. As a volunteer, you will gain new perspective, for it’s so easy for us all to get a little too wrapped up in our own lives. On the other hand, from a professional standpoint, volunteering is a great way to add to your portfolio. From press releases to design pieces, from public speaking to fundraising,

you will have the opportunity to build your portfolio. This is especially beneficial for students or young professionals, although all of us should continually work on building our portfolios.

Apart from the benefits of building up your confidence and making your portfolio better, there are probably many other benefits you will find in your volunteer work. So it is time for you to participate in more volunteer work to help others as well as help yourselves.

【例文】

Should Yuanmingyuan Be Rebuilt?

Yuanmingyuan, “Garden of all gardens”, was burnt and fell into ruins in 1860. Recently my classmates had a discussion about whether it should be rebuilt or not.

Supporters of rebuilding the garden say only by doing so can we see the original sight of the garden, which reflects the Chinese civilization. And it will be another place of interest for tourists. If partly rebuilt, it will provide a comparison and help us remember the history.

Those who disagree think it more reasonable to keep the garden like this. The ruins will remind us of the past. We should never forget the history. Other buildings like Palace Museum and Summer Palace can also be symbols of the Chinese culture, so it isn’t necessary to rebuild this garden. Some also worry that the environment will be destroyed when the construction goes on in this district.

Personally, it is advisable to rebuild Yuanmingyuan , which will add beauty to the city . What’s more , the new scenic spot will no doubt promote the economic development of the local.

应该重建圆明园?

圆明园，“所有园林花园”，被烧毁成废墟1860年下降。最近我的同学们进行了关于是否应该重建与否的讨论。

重建的花园支持者说，只有这样，我们才能看到花园的，它反映了中国文明的原始景象。这将是一个供游客感兴趣的地方。如果部分重建，它将提供一个比较和帮助我们记住历史。

谁不同意那些认为较合理的保持这样的花园。该遗址将提醒过我们。我们决不能忘记历史。如故宫博物院，颐和园等其他建筑物也可以是中华文化的象征，所以没有必要重建此园。有些人还担心会破坏环境建设的推移，当在此区。

个人而言，这是明智的重建圆明园，这将增加美丽的城市。更重要的是，新的景区，无疑会促进地方经济发展。

It has been billed as a hi-tech bike-sharing boom that entrepreneurs hope will make them rich while simultaneously transforming Chinas traffic-clogged cities.

But, occasionally, dreams can turn sour.

In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, more than 500 bicycles for hire have been found dumped in huge piles on the streets, according to reports.

Pictures showed jumbled stacks of vehicles nearly three metres high, with handlebars, baskets and other parts scattered on the ground.

City streets around the country have seen an explosion of the colourful bikes that users can rent on demand with a smartphone app and then park wherever they choose.

The sharing economy is taking off in China, where ride-sharing and Airbnb are increasingly commonplace.

From Shanghai to Sichuan province, bike-sharing schemes are being rolled out in an effort to slash congestion and air pollution by putting a country once known as the "Kingdom of Bicycles" back on two wheels.

Companies such as Ofo and Mobike, with their rival fleets of bumblebee yellow and fluorescent orange bikes, have been locked in a cut-throat battle for customers.

But problems have arisen when clients have abandoned their cycles.

"Some people these days just have really bad character," a man named He, who lives near where the stacks appeared, told the Southern Metropolis Daily.

"When theyre done using (the bike) they just throw it away somewhere, because theyve already paid."

In the past few days he witnessed people demolishing the bikes before discarding them on the side of the road, he said.

Residents told the paper that bikes had been piling up over the past week, either parked haphazardly by careless users or stacked by local security guards trying to clear narrow residential alleys and footpaths.

Zhuang Chuangyu, a representative at Shenzhens municipal peoples congress, said the city needed to step up regulation of the bike-sharing industry in order to improve traffic conditions and safety standards, especially since schoolchildren often used the bikes.

In 1980, almost 63% of commuters cycled to work, the Beijing Morning Post reported in 2015, citing government data. But by 2000 that number had plummeted to 38% and today it stands at less than 12%.

Car use, meanwhile, has rocketed. In 2010 China overtook the US to become the worlds largest car market, with 13.5m vehicles sold in just 12 months.

The period of high school stage is the preparation for college, all the students work hard in the purpose of the better future.
