In Pontevedra, Spain, people don’t shout. Since cars are banned (禁止) in the city, there are no horns (喇叭) or noises from cars. People don’t have to try hard to make themselves heard. What you hear in the street, instead, is the singing of birds.
“Listen,” says Migucl Lores, the mayor, opening the windows of his office. Human voices rise from the street below. “More than 14,000 cars used to pass along this street every day. There were more cars passing through the city in a day than people living here.”
Lores became the mayor (市民) in 1999. He spent months walking around the city. “The historical (历史的) city is dead,” he said one day. “It is full of cars. It is heavily polluted. There are a lot of traffic accidents. The elderly and children aren’t able to use the streets because of cars. People who have a chance to leave have done so.”
At first, Lores thought of improving traffic conditions (状况). However, he couldn’t come up with a good plan. After lots of discussions, the government finally decided to get rid of cars.
The change has brought Pontevedra many benefits. Traffic accidents are now fewer. CO emissions (排放物) are 70 percent down. Many people are moving to the city, making it lively again.
Most local citizens like the change. Ramiro Armesto, a mother of two young children, said, “In the past, the first thing to see in the morning was traffic jams. Now, the city is cleaner, quieter and safer.” Raquel Garcia, another parent, said she had stayed in many cities around the world. However, she had never lived in a city as “easy to live in” as Pontevedra. “Even if it’s raining, I walk everywhere. The feeling is wonderful,” she added. “For me, Pontevedra is paradise (天堂).”

Do you know that the “Happy Birthday to You” song is the first song sung in outer space Apollo IX astronauts sang it on March 8, 1969. It is one of the most popular English songs of all time. Here’s the story behind it.
The song was written by two sisters from Kentucky, Mildred and Patty Smith Hill. It was first published under the title of “Good Morning to All” in 1893. It was used as a classroom greeting. Teachers sang it each day to welcome their students to the classroom.
The composer, Mildred Hill, was a concert pianist. Her sister Patty Smith Hill wrote the original lyrics (最初的歌词) for the song while she was a teacher in a kindergarten in Louisville, Kentucky, where Mildred also taught.
The Hill sisters copyrighted (取得版权) their song on October 16, 1893. However, it appeared without their agreement in Robert H. Coleman’s songbook on March 4, 1924. Coleman changed part of the lyrics to say, “Happy Birthday to You”, although the song still had its original title. The song was then published several times over the next ten years, often with small changes in the lyrics. In 1934, when the song was sung every night in a Broadway Musical, another Hill sister, Jessica, went to court (法院) over the copyright problem of the song. She won her case.
The Hill sisters who devoted their lives to educating children, could never imagine that the simple little song would continue to earn about $ 2 million every year.

The best place I have ever been to is Huangshan Mountain. I went there with my parents last summer. Huangshan is famous for its strange pines, unique rocks and sea of clouds. We climbed the mountain early in the morning. Along the way, the fresh air and beautiful scenery made us feel relaxed. We saw the Guest-Greeting Pine, which stretched out its branches like welcoming guests. When we reached the top, the sea of clouds around us was amazing.
It was tiring to climb, but I felt proud. The beauty of Huangshan made me love nature more. It’s really the best place I’ve ever visited.
