A
Have you ever ridden over huge rocks or through grass as tall as a third­grader? The mountain bikers from an international biking group sure have! Reporter Ricky caught up with three of them — 18­year­old Michael Castellanos, 13­year­old Gerardo Mendez, and 16­year­old Jackie Luevano — to learn about their experiences with the group.
Rieky: How often do you ride your bikes?
Michael: Every day after school. But I ride on the weekend, too.
Gerardo: I use my bike to get to and from school and to get to my after­school program. I don't like to ride my bike if it's snowing, though!
Jaekie: I only fide my bike in the summer, but when I do, I like to ride three times per week.
Ricky: What's the difference between riding in the city and in the mountains?
Michael: You have to follow more rules and laws when you ride your bike in the city. In the mountains there are laws but not as many.
Jackie: It's harder riding in the mountains, but it's quieter. The hardest part is learning to use your gears (挡). I was used to riding a city bike that doesn't have gears and then when I started to ride in the mountains I had to learn that gears make it easier to ride.
Ricky: What is the best part of the mountain rides?
Jackie: My favorite thing is getting a break from being indoors. After being inside all day, it's nice to enjoy the clean air and feel the wind.
Gerardo: Our group is usually really loud, but when we ride in the mountains, we are quieter and we can hear the birds and the water.

“For those who haven't been to Tibet, Tibet is a dream; for those who have already been there, Tibet is a memory.” said Li Wan, a graduate from Zhongshan University. “For me, living there is my dream and happiness.”

Li came to Tibet firstly because of her desire for personal freedom. She entered Tibet along the Yunnan­Tibetan road, enjoying the special view happily. She was surprised to find that it is a white paradise (天堂) on earth. Although she couldn't even speak a word of Tibetan language, she had no difficulty in communicating with natives. “To me, they are free, generous, simple and happy. It appears to me that people should live in this way, singing while working, dancing while living.” Li said.

Li has shown great courage in the adventures (冒险). On many situations she travelled alone in some places in terrible climate. To her greatest surprise, she learned to value life and to follow her own heart.
