　　“Depend on yourself”is what nature says to everyone．Parents can help you．Teachers can help you．But all these only help you to help yourself．

　　There have been many great men in history．But many of them were very poor in childhood, and had no uncles, aunts and friends to help them．Schools were few and not very good．They could not depend on them for an education．They saw how it was, and began to work with their own efforts to know something．They worked their own way up to fame．

　　One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils,“I can't make worthy(優(yōu)秀的)men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves．”

　　Some young men have the best of everything, but they are to be pitied(同情)．They can never do things successfully if they don't see their weak point and change their attitudes(態(tài)度)to study．They are nobody now, and will be nobody as long as(只要)they don't follow the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts．

　　Bicycles are very popular around the world today．People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment．In some places, people use a bicycle to get to work．In other places, bicycle riding is a very popular exercise to people who live in cities．But who invented the first bicycle?In 1791, a Frenchman named Comte de Sivrac invented and owned the first bicycle．Mrs．Sivrac rode(騎)the bicycle in Paris．The handles(把手)and the seat were wooden．This bicycle was very difficult to move．A rider even had to pick up the front wheel to change direction．Finally, the bicycle had no brakes for stopping or pedals for the feet!Riding a bicycle was a great risk．

　　Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, U. S. A., is in the central part of the state, on the Santa Fe River, which flows into the Rio Grande 35 kilometers west of the city. More than two thousand meters above sea level, it lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with the Ortiz Mountains to the southeast.

　　Santa Fe was founded in 1609 by the Spanish on an old Indian village. In 1680 the Indians seized the place but only held it for twelve years before the Spanish retook it. The city remained under Spanish rule until Mexico won its independence in 1821. From then on it was a Mexican city until 1846 when it was taken over by American troops.

　　With a population of 48 953, Santa Fe is now the second largest city in the state. Because of its sunny weather, rich history and surrounding mountains, it is a good place for holiday makers.
