Question

 The bicycle is one of the simplest yet most useful inventions in the world. What is the most surprising is that it was not 1     earlier,although the great inventor Lenardo da Vinci had drawn pictures of bicycles,flying machines and some other things long before. Those things were not produced 2      long after he died.

Even so,in developed 4     ， most people don’t travel to work by bicycle. It is not because the bicycles are expensive or people feel 5      if they ride to work. It’s because 6      cars on the roads becomes larger. It certainly becomes 7     to ride a bicycle. As a result,more and more people put their bicycles away and go to work  8      their cars,thus makes the situation even worse. 9      the best way to make riding safer and more popular is to create paths (開設通道)only for bicycles,and to make 10     so difficult and

expensive for drivers to drive their cars that they have to go back to use their bicycles.
