With increasing population，more and more people are driving cars these days.Because of this，the traffic becomes more crowded，and even new roads are being built every day.According to surveys，cars cause more air pollution and use more fuel（燃料）than any other way of transportation.Maybe we can draw some inspirations from the different traveling ways in other countries.Let's take a look.
India is one of the biggest countries in the world，and many people use "autorickshaws（三輪車(chē)）there.Can you imagine that the number of autorickshaw users is much more than that of car users in a country？They were introduced into India since the beginning of the 20th century.And now you can still see them at the airport，the bus stations，or in front of houses!So you can take one much faster than finding a taxi.Maybe you think it's funny，but don't laugh at them.Many people in India are still poor today，and taking autorickshaws around the neighborhood is one of their favorite activities.But accidents can usually happen because there're too many autorickshaws.
England is one of the most industrialized（工業(yè)化的）countries in the world.If you've ever been there before，you may not forget their nice subways.But one of the people's favorite activities is walking!Some people do it for health，while others do it for the environment.It's said that some people would walk as long as they're not late for school or work!The mayor of London even made the"Walking Action Plan" in 2018 to encourage people to walk more and use cars as little as possible.
Italy is a wonderful country and you can't miss taking the public boats in Venice（威尼斯）if you go there!Though it's a cjye.aiy.It's actually made of over 100 man-made islands.You may think life there is nice，but local people may not like it because there's water everywhere!

1．According to a recent report，about 15% of the people in the UK are members of gyms.But are they more likely to be fit？
A study found that gym members were 14 times more active than people who didn't belong to any health club.Gym members did six hours more exercise a week，and this activity did make them fitter than non- gym members.They also spent less time sitting down every day than non- gym members.The results were the same for men and women.
The study included 405 people between the ages of 30 and 64，and the main characteristics of those who were gym members were the same as those who were not. "But gym members did more training than non-gym members，" said the lead author，Elizabeth Schroeder of the University of Illinois.While it might seem clear that gym members exercise more and are healthier than non-gym members，Schroeder says this has not been directly shown before.However，the study is only designed to show a tie between gym membership and more exercise.It may be that active people like to join gyms.In the study，people who exercised as much as gym members were also in good health.
You can get the same benefits wherever you exercise.This study shows a gym membership can make you do more exercise，but other research shows that exercising outside has other help.Outdoor activity can make you feel happy about life，especially if you run through a forest.
Outdoor exercise is also more interesting than going to the gym.The first five minutes of outdoor exercise is especially helpful in making people feel good.But Schroeder says that a gym may also encourage greater exercise because it can be social and fun.
