• 4．In London，the traffic is very heavy.Sometimes a journey of a few kilometres can take more than an hour.So what's the best way to get across London？For a very short journey，it's a good idea to walk.But what happens when you want to go further？
     The presenters （節(jié)目主持人） on a popular TV car programme did an experiment （實(shí)驗(yàn)） to find out.They chose different ways to make the same 27-kilometre journey.One presenter went by bike.One went by car.Another chose the bus.And the last one travelled by boat up the River Thames.They all started at the same time and the same place in West London，but who got to City Airport in East London first？The bike came first.In second place was the boat.The bus came third and the car was last.
     The bike was quicker than all the other ways and the car was slower.The presenters weren't very satisfied with the result（結(jié)果） because they wanted the car to win.They made a joke （玩笑） and said the bike wasn't a real winner （獲勝者） because it was more dangerous.But，of course，the bike is the real winner.It is the best way to get about.It's cheaper than a bus and healthier for you than a car.It's also better for our cities because bikes don't pollute （污染） the air.

• 22．The name "orangutan （紅毛猩猩）" means "man of the forest" in the Malay language.A century ago，there were about 230，000 orangutans in the wild，but now there are only about 112，000.They are in danger.
     People have cut down the forests so it's hard for orangutans to find wild fruit they feed on.People also kill many orangutans.So many baby orangutans do not have mums to teach them what they need to know.
     That's why an animal organization （組織） called Four Paws built schools for orangutans.The schools teach baby orangutans how to live in the wild.
     Orangutans go to different schools.Usually the youngest babies go to the Nursery （育兒所）.People feed them and look after them all day long.When the orangutans are 2，they go to Baby School.They learn how to climb trees and look for food.When they turn 4 years old，they go to Forest School.They stay in the forest at night.Now they can do more without help from people.
     After a few years，the orangutans have learned everything they need to know.People take them into the forest and let them go.
     The orangutans will grow in the forest.Maybe one day they will have babies.They can teach them everything they learned at orangutan schools.
  
  （1）How many orangutans are there in the wild now？
  

  
  （2）What do orangutans feed on？
