scheme for commuters across Europe.
Employers in Belgium, the Netherlands and other European countries are rewarding staff if they come
to work on a bicycle, paying them for every kilometer they cycle, all in an effort to promote
environmentalism, not to mention a healthier lifestyle.
In Belgium, cycling commuters are being paid 20 euro cents (29 U. S. cents) per kilometer, whereas
those in the Netherlands can earn 15 cents and participants in Britain up to 20 pence (32 U. S. cents)
per mile-all of it taxfree.
In Belgium, a popular cycling nation and home to fivetime Tour de France and Giro D"Italia winner
Eddie Merckx, finance ministry figures show that more than 270,000 people took part in the scheme last
year, up from 140,000 in 2006.
Last year, that meant the Belgian taxman paid out 43 million euros to those who bill for cycling to
work.
"Higher oil prices and environmental awareness contribute to having more cyclists on the road," said
Dieter Snauwaert, coordinator of the biketowork scheme of the Flemish Cyclists" Union in Belgium.
One of the most successful corporate proponents has been Belgian discount supermarket chain
Colruyt, which launched the policy four years ago and now has 2,100 participants.
Colruyt provides employees who live up to 7 km away from work with a bicycle and takes care of
maintenance.
Company spokesman Victor De Meester said that apart from employees being healthier there were
also other advantages.
"The more people cycle to work the fewer parking spaces you have to offer. It"s not so easy,
especially in urban areas, to expand parking spaces," he said.
Colruyt, which has more than 22,000 employees, is now looking to target those who live further away
than 7 km (4.4 miles) by offering electric bicycles to make it easier to negotiate larger distances.
"Our target is 400 participants by 2015 but given the response we have had so far this may be too
low a number," De Meester said.
Colruyt"s belief that employees who cycle to work are healthier than their colleagues who don"t is
backed up by research from Dutch organization TNO.
The researcher found that over the course of a year, cycling employees on average lose one working
day less due to illness than employees who commute by other means.
If the number of workers who cycle to work increased by one percent, Dutch employers would save
a total of 27 million euros per year, TNO said.

performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond
your wildest imagination-a career in music?
Canadian teenager Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade
videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received
a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually
earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular EP (extended play密纹唱片)
record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday.
Bieber sings ballads and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol?
David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn"t think so. "If we truly want the best for
American children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber," he writes. "After years of humdrum
bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16yearold has thrown
a candycoated wrench (扭转) into Disney"s heartthrob (甜心) assembly line (生产线) by giving
young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for: lovable pop songs."
From a boy who grew up below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused
nearriots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can"t believe his overnight fame, although
his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era.
Interested in hockey (冰球), the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players
on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his
autograph (签名). He doesn"t need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough,
as a music star.

"Two full inches in the first three days!"
These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising
new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters of products say
they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to add to beauty or
desirability.
Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters. The results they
produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.
To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to
understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA(Food and
Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that is safe and
effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority to require
premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health,
FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal
action, including seizure(查封)of the product.
One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had
been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through
contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds
that it was dangerous to health and life.
Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings
(法律诉讼), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the
safety or effectiveness of such items.
B. costly
C. unreliable
D. illegal
B. New products are more likely to be questionable.
C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.
D. The promoters usually just care about profits.
B. if it is a device
C. if its consumers make complaints
D. if its distributors challenge FDA"s authority
B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case
C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product
D. an example of a quality beauty product
B. show the weakness of the law on product safety
C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful
D. introduce the organization of FDA
