TEXT 1: CYCLING, THE BEST MODE OF TRANSPORT
1 Urban population in developing nations is projected to continue to grow, adding 2 billion people to the world’s cities by 2050. By 2 then, more than half of the world’s population will live in cities. 3 A key step to managing rapid urbanization, reducing po verty and addressing equality amongst urban residents is to meet their needs 4 for access to services and opportunities. Walking and cycling improve urban quality and facilitate social cohesion. They are cheap, 5 flexible, personal modes without which most people in low- and middle-income countries would be unable to participate in the economy 6 and community, or access education, healthcare and other urban services. Today, more than 600 cities worldwide have their own bike- 7 share systems, and more programmes are starting every year. 8 In richer countries, cycling has become popular for a variety of reasons. For instance, it helps to reduce the risk of diabetes, some 9 forms of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, depression, and it prevents obesity. The health benefits of cycling daily rather than taking a 10 car for short trips outweigh the risks of inhalation of air pollutants. Besides, regular cycling boosts physical fitness. 11 Riding a bike evokes ple asant feelings and is an easy exercise. People who walk or cycle to work tend to be more satisfied, less 12 stressed, more relaxed, and they experience greater freedom compared to people who drive their car to work. Bicycle use, therefore, 13 not only improves physical health, but also has a positive impact on mental health and subjective well-being. 14 In short, compared to travelling by car or bus, cycling saves money, it is a cheap means of transport, and scores well in terms of 15 social impact of urban mobility.

TEXT 2 : MO, THE CAT
1 A cat has surprisingly been reunited with his family eight years after he went missing. Mo —the cat— was staying in a cattery on the 2 outskirts of Swansea eight years ago, while his humans went on holiday. On their return, one of the family’s cats, Tibby, was waiting 3 for them, but they were devastated to find Mo had gone missing. “We were utterly heartbroken when we found out that the cattery had 4 lost Mo,” says Izzy Harris, who was a teenager when Mo, then three, went missing. 5 Izzy and her parents searched for their pet for months, printing flyers and putting adverts in the newspaper. However, they also knew 6 there was a small chance they’d see him again. “There was something so horrible about imagining him alone,” continues Izzy, “the 7 cattery was near some busy main roads as well, so we couldn’t stop picturing the worst, that he’d been hit by a car.” 8 After months of searching, the family accepted he was gone, and only hoped that he’d found someone else to live with —and they 9 were right! As a matter of fact, Mo had moved in with an elderly lady. 10 Last October, the Harris family received an unexpected call from a veterinary centre. “They said they’d found a cat matching Mo’s 11 microchip and that he’d been living near where he got lost with an old lady who had passed away.” 12 Izzy and Mo met finally again thanks to the power of microchipping. The black cat has a lot of catching up to do, as the family 13 currently has three other cats. The girl says they feel incredibly relieved, but also hopeful. If this can happen, anything can.
