In 1998, the village was to be pulled down because many villagers left. To save it, Huang decided to paint every street in the village. The old man covered every street, wall and door in the village with lovely colors. In 2010, some university students happened to pass by the village. They were struck by Huang’s cute artwork. These students then started the “Save Rainbow Village” campaign (运动). It was a success and the area became an art park. Huang himself began to be famous as Grandpa Rainbow. Now, Rainbow Village has become a famous place for tourists. It welcomes more than a million people every year. Grandpa Rainbow finally made his dream come true. He saved his village.

In the past, there were only muddy roads and very few cars. People mostly walked or rode bicycles to get around. Now the roads are much wider and far busier than before, filled with cars, buses, and motorcycles day and night. The buildings have also changed. Fifty years ago, most buildings were short, simple, and made of brick or wood. Today, they are much taller and more modern, with glass and steel structures everywhere. The environment has changed too. The air was fresher and cleaner before, but now it is more polluted because of the growing number of factories and cars. However, people are trying to plant more trees and build parks to make the city greener and healthier. There are also more fun and convenient places now. We have a huge new shopping mall which is larger, brighter, and more exciting than the old market. Young people think life is more interesting and convenient now because there are more activities and things to do. But some old people still remember the past and say life was simpler, quieter, and more peaceful back then. 1．How did people mainly travel in the past? A．By car and bus. B．By motorcycle. C．By walking or bicycle. D．By train. 2．In the third paragraph, the underlined word “polluted” means: A．Fresh and clean. B．Dirty and harmful. C．Modern and convenient.

WALKING & CYCLING Instead of using the car for short trips, why not walk or ride a bicycle? Walking is the most popular form of exercise—it’s healthy and it can save your money. If you work nearby, try walking or cycling instead of driving. Walking your children to school gives them beautiful road experience. BUSES Bus companies are using new buses and they cause less pollution; some have easier ways for disabled and old people. There are special traffic lanes to make bus trips easier.
