M : Just calm down, Lucy. It is raining outside. Did you bring an umbrella with you?

W: God, I left it at home before I went to school this morning. What should I do right now?

M : Don’t worry, Lucy. Let’s figure it out together. I have an umbrella in my gym locker. I can lend my umbrella to you. Would you stay here and wait for me?

Section B

Bicycles are very popular in parts of the world, such as China and India. It is very convenient to go to work by bicycle, especially during the rush hour. You can also ride a bicycle on weekends in the suburb enjoying the beautiful suburban scenery. Sure, bicycles allow you to get around and exercise at the same time. Believe it or not, the bicycle was once a tool of sexual liberation. Let' s forget the hard seat for a moment. Before bicycles became popular, women stayed at home and appeared on the street covered. Bicycles put an end to that, offering the ability to go where you wanted under your own power. Women liked bicycles very much. Of course, it's hard to ride a bicycle in a long skirt, so women wore shorter skirts, trousers and even sports shorts. As a result, men and women had more opportunities to meet together.
