On a sunny spring day，a group of children, four to seven — year—old，sit on their

bicycles.

They wear helmets to protect their heads and gloves to protect their hands. Their

mothers，watch them closely for fear that the children will fall off their bikes. The children

are ready to learn how to ride.

Rachel Varn still remembers how she felt riding a bicycle for the first time. Now her

job is helping children experience that moment. Rachel Varn left her job of selling

bicycles to become a trainer for bicycle riding last year.She founded Pedal Power Kids to

teach bicycle education.

Before starting a ride, she teaches the children how to make sure the bicycles are in

good condition for safe use. She calls it “the ABC quick check. ” As is for air，she

explains.“We have to check our tires before we ride.” We want to make sure our brakes

work before we find ourselves on the top of a hill about to go down.And C is for chain.She

says the chain must be clean.

The rest of the training is more fun. The children learn riding skills,from balance and

pedaling to turning,starting and stopping.And they learn to keep their eyes up and look

ahead while riding. Varn says many children struggle to do this, They look down at the

pedals (踏板）instead. She adds, “Obviously that doesn't allow them to see wha's going on

around them,and it also doesn't allow them to turn properly.”

Yarn says watching where you are going helps you turn easier.

Learning to ride a bicycle can open a whole new world to children. It gives them a sense of success and freedom. They become more sensitive to their surroundings and better

able to make safe，smart decisions going from one place to another.

Varn’s goal is to get more children on two wheels. Since starting Pedal Power Kids

last year，Varn has helped around 250 new riders.

Human demands for natural resources have doubled in less than 50 years and are now

beyond what the earth can provide, a report warned. If humans carry on like this, we will

need two earths by 2030. The population of wildlife has fallen by 60% in thirty years.

The report said British people are consuming (消耗) far more than the earth can deal with.

If everyone lived such a lifestyle, humans would need 2.75 planets to survive. People are

now living lifestyles which would require 1.5 planets, though there are great differences

between rich and poor nations.

Researchers studied the global change in land use and water consumption. The UK comes

31st in a list of countries based one “ecological footprint (生态足迹)” that measures how
