A． Drop-Bar Road Bikes
Generally lighter in weight than the typical mountain or comfort bike，road bikes are good for multiple pavement uses including fitness riding，commuting，long-distance/event rides，touring and racing．
Drop-bar handlebars are lightweight and aerodynamic and are a better choice if you want to go faster or are more concerned with efficiently transferring your energy into making the bike move forward． They also allow for a greater number of riding and hand positions than flat-bars．Their more aerodynamic riding position (bent over at the waist) may put more strain on your back if you are less flexible．
B． Flat-Bar Road Bikes
Flat-bar handlebars combine the efficiency of drop-bar road bikes with a slightly more upright riding position．This allows you to sit up in a higher and more relaxed position so you can better see the road and potential risks．An upright position also reduces strain on your hands，wrists and shoulders．This increased versatility comes with the tradeoff of being slightly less efficient (from an aerodynamic standpoint) than the typical drop-bar road bike．
C． Hardtail Mountain Bikes
Mountain Bikes are best for dirt or rocky trails and gravel roads; they are OK for pavement too (with tire change)．
Hardtail bikes feature a front suspension fork and a rigid back with no rear suspension shocks．This type of mountain bike is much less expensive and lighter in weight than a typical full-suspension mountain bike．A hardtail is the more versatile choice if you plan to use it for both paved and unpaved surfaces．The tradeoffs from a full-suspension mountain bike? A hardtail is less able to safely handle more technical singletrack trails，provides less overall shock absorption and，in some situations，delivers less rear wheel traction．
D． Full-Suspension Mountain Bikes
Full-suspension mountain bikes have both front and rear suspension shocks making them ideal for backcountry trails or technical (steep，bumpy，twisty) singletrack．They also stand up to more aggressive riding including jumps or drops of up to 5 feet．As mentioned above，full-suspension bikes are more expensive and generally heavier than hardtail bikes．
E．Folding bikes
These bikes can be folded up and placed in a carrying bag，which makes them handy for commuters with limited storage space at home or the office．They are lightweight yet strong and can be folded up quickly and easily．Folding bikes are also a good choice for those who want to travel with their bike．
F．Electric-assist bikes
These bikes feature a battery-powered motor that can help you climb hills easily or make your commute less strenuous．Built-in sensors can monitor how much pressure you're putting on the pedals and then apply battery power accordingly．
以下是一些用户信息，请把图片与相关介绍匹配起来。Tom is a bike lover．He wants to buy a road bike that can go fast on the road． Speed is important but it is more important for him to see the road and stay safe，since the road on which he rides is often full of traffic．
Jack is an office worker．Every day he goes to work by subway．There is still a long way from where he lives to the subway station，so he decides to buy a bike，which can be easily put at home，on the subway train and his office．
Peter loves making long-distance journey by bike．When travelling，he has to climb hills or ride on rocky trails，which makes him too tired to go．He wants to continue his journey even when he is tired，but he doesn’t want to travel by car or ride his motorbike．
Mark is a bike enthusiast who often rides in the mountainous areas．Unfortunately，his bike was damaged when he was riding on the mountain．Now he is going to buy a new mountain bike．Being a rich man，Mark doesn’t care about the price of the bike，but it must be tough and flexible enough to jump and drop on the mountain road．
Jim needs a new mountain bike that can be ridden on both paved and unpaved surfaces．It doesn’t need to be too expensive．He hopes to buy a bike that is lighter in weight than a typical full-suspension mountain bike

A. Who does freelancing?
B. The advantages and disadvantages of freelance
C. The definition of freelance
D. Key to freelance success
E. What is freelancing really like?
F. The best way to develop a career
______________________
Freelance is a word that goes back to medieval times when it was used to describe soldiers who sold their skills to those prepared to pay their market rate. Today it’s an increasingly common way of working for people in a range of occupations and appeals to many who feel constrained by corporate culture.
______________________
What you gain is freedom of movement, what you can lose is a sense of belonging. You can end up feeling isolated from normal support networks, because suddenly you are responsible for your own welfare, training, safety, career development, equipment, professional updating and a thousand other things. It is easy to remain unaware of these things in the relatively cosseted existence of full-time employment. So before you leap up into this exciting and potentially rewarding way of working, stand back and take a look at the risks.
______________________
Freelancing has always been a common way of working for writers, artists and performers, but the range of occupations with a substantial number of freelancers is growing steadily. Anyone with a marketable skill can choose to go it alone. Websites offer a free directory listing for those with skills to sell. Their categories include accountants, healthcare consultants, landscape architects and computer trainers. Areas of work that have problems recruiting staff are always keen to employ freelancers.
______________________
Being a freelance is different from other forms of self-employment—you still work for an employer or several employers but have to develop a completely different set of relationships with them. Employers are now your customers, you are their supplier. You have to become indispensable to them, providing solutions to their problems, some of which they may not even realize they have. In many ways you have to behave like their dream employee, being more willing and available than you may have got used to while in a “proper job”.
______________________
You also have to be aware of, and sensitive to ,the fact that you can be seen as a threat by your customer’s conventional employees, who may regard you as taking work they can do. Successful freelancing relies on the co-operation of everyone you come into contact with. Work that brings you into conflict with an existing workforce can be more trouble than it’s worth.

Travel Manners
Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners.
The word taboo comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a group’s values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.
Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to one’s manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. In some countries, the volume of one’s voice may annoy people. For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact. In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others.
In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.
Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries. Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or ‘talking with your hands’, is considered unsuitable.
Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.
| A．Nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language. |
| B．In Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture. |
| C．In spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal. |
| D．Cancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it. |
E．Learn a country’s customs so that you don’t hurt the local people unconsciously.
F．They might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.
G．If a person avoids eye contact, others might think they are being dishonest or unconfident.
