八、阅读短文,回答问题(10分)
How do you go to school every day? By bike or on foot? Maybe you can try a new way—taking a S-Cool Bus.
The S-Cool Bus is a bike bus. Thomas Tolkamp designed and made the bike bus. It is all about green life, sport and sharing. Many people like the idea. Why?
First, it’s interesting for kids to ride the bus together to school. Jessie, a 9-year-old girl, says, “I love the bike bus because I can talk with my friends. It’s full of fun. When I get to school, I don’t want to sleep in class.” Also, it is very safe. The bike bus has a driver and eleven seats(座位)for kids. Each one has a helmet(头盔)and a safety belt(安全带). Also, they can put roof(顶)on the bus on hot or rainy days. Next, riding the bike bus is good for health. Peter, a fat boy, becomes a fan of the bike bus. “The S-Cool Bus is my favourite way to get to school. It makes me ▲.” Last, the S-Cool Bus is good for the environment. It is more and more popular in countries like France. The use of S-Cool Bus shows us that we can protect the earth in many ways.
