In the 1870s, people began to ride a new kind of bike called the Ordinary. The Ordinary, however, was an unusual bike. For one thing its wheels were of different sizes. The front wheel was four to five feet high, while the back wheel was about a foot and a half high. Because its front wheel was so large, the new bike was faster and quieter. What is more, the rider’s body was not bumped around as much on the Ordinary. But the Ordinary wasn’t comfortable for anyone. It was so high that getting on and off was very difficult. As years passed, other ways of making a fast, light bicycle were discovered. And by the end of the 1900s, the Ordinary was just about gone.

[单项选择]Every time we open our mouths and speak we label ourselves — I am English, you may be Bulgarian or African. We are all human beings, but sometimes we have communication problems which can lead to suspicion and misunderstanding.
If you speak English, you have an advantage. The English language means power and freedom to many. It dominates international relations. It affects nearly all our lives in one way or another, influencing everything from pop music to diplomatic relations. Yet only around 10% of the world’s population are native English language speakers. Many of you who are reading now will have struggled to learn the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation of this very complicated language. But there could be another solution: learning Esperanto.
Esperanto, meaning "one who hopes", is an artificial language which is said to be the earliest in the world to learn. It was invented in 1887 by Ludwig Zamnehof, a young Polish optician.
The usefulness of Esperanto ha
A. Esperanto — An artificial Language.
B. Esperanto — A Language for All.
C. A Language Expressing People’s Dream.
D. A Language Resulting From a Nice Thought.
