Just Cycle and Fold Away
There's no excuse not to get on your bike this spring. Get your indoor cycling fixed and feel the benefits.
Great for general cardio(有氧运动) fitness, exercise bikes can be a convenient way of training at home. However, choosing the right bike is extremely important, which is something that Roger Black and his team recognized when creating the Roger Black Folding Exercise Bike. The special design makes the bike smaller and easier to store.
“Best present ever are the words from my 77yearold father who received his Roger Black fitness bike for his birthday. He said it is so simple and easy to use, with no complicated operation. The seat is very comfortable, so using it every day is a pleasure. It folds away neatly so it can be stored behind a door when necessary,” said Anna.

Summer is always a busy travel season, but even at peak times like July, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll see lots of hotels with No Vacancy(空房) signs. More and more travelers are choosing instead to stay in vacation rentals: decorated private houses, rooms, or apartments that only you and your party share for the period of your stay. Or you can get adventurous and book a cabin, a tree house, a houseboat, or even a castle.
The idea appeared in 2007, when Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, the owners of a hotel, realizing that a San Francisco tech meeting would make hotel rooms in the area harder to come by, let travelers sleep on air mattresses(充气床垫) in their apartment for a fee. They called it Air Bed and Breakfast, and the company—now known as Airbnb—is worth almost $100 billion today and has six million listings worldwide.
More space is a major attraction of this accommodation(住宿): the average hotel room measures just 330 square feet, while the average vacation rental room tops 1,300. And in 20 of the largest U.S. cities, average daily rates are comparable to (or slightly lower than) those of hotels.
If you're willing to share your own digs while you're away, Love Home Swap pairs you with likeminded travelers for stays in each other's homes for a membership fee as low as $11 per month. If you'd like to list your home, check your local zoning laws, as some areas have strict rules on shortterm rentals. In parts of Honolulu, a new law taking effect in October will up the minimum stay to 90 days.
( ) 4. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. Vacation rentals have replaced hotels nowadays.
B. Travelers have more options of where to live now.
C. Hotels have no empty rooms during travel seasons.
D. Instead of staying in rentals, travelers choose private rooms.
( ) 5. What inspired Chesky and Gebbia to start vacation rentals?
A. The presence of the Airbnb. B. The requirement of travelers.
C. The shortage of hotel rooms. D. The popularity of air mattresses.
( ) 6. If you want to use Love Home Swap, you should ________.
A. become its member first B. rent your house for free
C. list your house for at least 90 days D. find partners with the similar ideas
( ) 7. What's the purpose of the passage?
A. To list the various rentals for travelers.
B. To urge hotels to take on more vacation rentals.
C. To compare two different ways to spend vacation.
D. To introduce a new trend on vacation accommodation.
