So the city began a scheme(计划) to improve the situation. Under the Velib scheme (Velib comes from vlo libert, or bicycle freed
2、om), people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station.

15、 moon has no dark side. But because of the way it orbits (绕轨运行)the earth, our natural satellite shows us only one sidethe other is hidden from our view. No one even saw the far side until 1959, when the Soviet Luna 3 spaceship flew around for a look and sent back photos. No astronaut or spaceship ha
16、d ever been there until this January, when the China National Space Administration ( CNSA ) lunched a 2, 500-pound lander called Change-4 to the southern end of the lunar far side.
