背诵为王第三册第22课 Riding a Bike

Lesson22 Riding a Bike
Mr. Holland drove to work in a car every day. When he was forty, he was fat and very soft, and he did not wish to get fatter and softer every year.
One day one of his friends said to him, 'Would you like to be thinner, Fred?'
'Of course I would,' Mr. Holland answered.
'Well,' his friend said, 'stop going to your office by car, and get a bicycle.'
Mr. Holland had not ridden a bicycle for many years. 'It's very dangerous to ride a bicycle again at your age,' his wife said.
But he bought a bicycle for his birthday and practiced riding every evening. He hoped that it would help him get thinner, and he got a lot of pleasure from practice.
Then he began to go to his office on his bicycle. Sometimes all the cars stopped at a red light, and he went past them to the front because his bicycle was small. He was very happy.
Yesterday he stopped at a red light, and a man came up behind him on another bicycle. He stopped too and asked Mr. Holland, 'Have the police taken your driving license away too?'

骑自行车
霍兰先生每天驾车上班。当他四十岁时，变得肥胖且很不结实，而他不愿意一年年变得越来越胖和虚弱。
一天，他的一个朋友对他说：“你想减肥吗，佛瑞德？”
“当然想了，”霍兰先生答。
“那么，”他的朋友说，“不要开车上班，骑车去。”
霍兰先生许多年不骑车了。“你这个年龄骑车很危险。”妻子说。
但他还是在生日时买了辆自行车，并且每天晚上练习骑车。他希望这能帮助自己变瘦，而且他从练习中得到了很多乐趣。
然后他开始骑车上班。有时所有的汽车因红灯停车时，因为自行车小，霍兰先生骑车超到汽车前面，他非常高兴。
昨天他停车等红灯时，一个人骑自行车从后面到他跟前。他也停下来，然后问霍兰先生：“警察也没收了你的驾驶执照了吗？”
