問題詳情:
A colleague of mine lives in the same street as me. He drives to work every day while I cycle the same distance almost every day. Imagine my surprise when I cycled to work one day, went for a shower in the sports centre and saw my neighbour in the gym on the cycling machine after driving to work! I don’t see the logic. It would be much easier to cycle to work so that you have some exercise every day as part of your daily routine.
I wanted to persuade them to cycle to work, so I did some research on a few websites about the benefits of cycling to work. Cycling has some obvious advantages over driving. It is cheaper, it is better for the environment, and you don’t have to find a parking space. The point about the parking space is an important one as car parks are often full. I know that my colleague sometimes makes a 15-minute car journey to work and then spends 30 minutes looking for a parking space! It is true that cycling is a little slower than going by car, but at rush hours, it doesn’t make much difference. The time it takes to cycle is generally easier to predict than the time it takes to drive. The reason for this is that when there is heavy traffic, people on bicycles can get past, while people in cars have to wait.
There are clear health benefits to cycling, even if you only cycle a short distance each day. According to one expert, if you cycle regularly you should be as fit as a person 10 years younger. Well, I am 47 and I still play football in a team so I would say that this claim is true. As well as being good for your health, I think cycling can reduce stress. I certainly find that I feel better when I arrive at work than I do when I leave home; and I feel better when I get home than I do when I leave work. I also find that when I can’t solve a problem at work, the answer often comes to me when I am cycling. Cycling relaxes the mind. I am going to say to my colleagues “two wheels good, four wheels bad” every day until they get on their bikes!

A. make a person fit B. make a person’s stress reduced

11. What does “two wheels good, four wheels bad” mean in the last paragraph?
A. A car with two wheels is better than a car with four wheels.
B. A bicycle with two wheels is better than a bicycle with four wheels.
