七、(2025·徐州市沛县模拟)任务型阅读。(每小题2分,共10分)
Some do cycling for love, while others cycle for dreams. Over the past years, Sun Lin has cycled more than 20,000 kilometres around China. If you know his age, you will be surprised.
Sun, born in 1950, began to cycle in 2014 after he retired(退休). He did it just to realize his dream. When he was young, he always hoped to cycle around China and even abroad. But because of his poor family, he didn't get his own bike until 1975. Since then, he had ridden to work for many years.
"I'm getting older and I don't want to regret in the future. So I want to enjoy cycling now," Sun said. At first, he just cycled in the countryside, and then he travelled to other cities.
