Some time ago,a friend of mine who worked in a part of the city I didn’t know very well invited me to call on him.It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find a proper spot to park my car.As I was already three quarters of an hour late,I parked my car quickly.

At noon,just as I was leaving my friend’s office it suddenly struck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car.I could hardly go up to a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere!Walking down street after street,I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old car.But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like my own,it belonged to someone else!Feeling quite tired now,I went off for lunch.Some time later,I left the restaurant and walked down the street.Turning the corner,I nearly jumped for joy:my car was right in front of me,and there was no problem this time.

To tell the truth,driving in a crowded city is far from being a pleasure and it is much easier to walk than to drive.

　　Every kid wishes to be an adult, But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind．They become“kidults”(kid＋adult)．Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia．

　　Some kidults collect toys they once played with．Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world．It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory(配飾)．

　　Skateboarding has become one of several non-traditional activities that PE teachers around America are introducing to inspire kids to exercise regularly．Some PE classes feature in-line(滾輪)skating, yoga, and even rock climbing．Experts have called those types of activities “the new PE”．

　　Such activities are part of a larger effort to help kids develop lifelong fitness habits and to keep them from becoming overweight．Now, 9 million U．S．children and teens are overweight．Obesity(肥胖)can lead to health problems such as diabetes and heart disease later in life．

　　"Our children and youth are becoming unhealthy and obese," says Johnson．"Skateboarding is a great activity that keeps kids doing physical movement and gives them new skills and interest．"

　　Some schools don't allow skateboarding because they say it is dangerous．Tim, however, argues that regular practice eliminates a great deal of the danger．"We teach students how to do it and how to do it safely," he says．

　　Some people say skateboarding teaches life lessons．“Skateboarding teaches kids to believe that if they stick with something they will finally succeed．”says education expert Richard Savor from College in Portland．

　　Skateboarding inspires kids not to give up in learning difficult skills．"It's natural for kids to want to learn and get better at things," adds Tim．"When it comes to skateboarding, they'll try a trick hundreds of times before they succeed．" That same effort could be made in schoolwork．

　　Eric Brown agrees that skateboarding requires kids to stop saying a task is too hard for them．"A baby will attempt to walk 600 to 900 times before he or she is successful," says Eric, "We tell students that they shouldn't say 'I can't do it' unless they've tried 600 to 900 times．
