1. Read the following passage carefully.
Cycling survives as a popular pastime because it yields pleasure and benefits. Find of all, cycling provides exercise, the need of which is felt by most people. The development of machinery tends to deprive us of adequate opportunities of expending energy while earning a livelihood. Other opportunities should be created through the medium of sport. Of cycling, many people hastily say that it is "hard work", but a fit and practised rider does not agree with this verdict. The art of easy cycling must be cultivated, as will be shown later, but once it has been acquired, a long day's run should not unduly the any rider endowed with the normal measure of health. Nobody has better described the exercise of cycling then the late Twells Brex, who said enthusiastically, speaking from experience : "You move along by your own glad effort." Many of us wish to use our legs and our lungs, as well our eyes. An active, healthy person ought not be content to content to travel always as a mere passenger - "like an image pushed from behind", as Stevenson says. that is not life. Those who would turn all active cyclists into sedentary motor-drivers, or into idle passengers, would serve the nation better if they restricted their attentions to the aged and infirm, for whom petrol-generated propulsion is doubtless a blessing, and may be a necessity.
It is often said that the cyclist cannot travel as fast or as far as the motorist. Admitting this, the cyclist may be permitted to ask if it is always desirable that travel should involve modern motoring speeds (or accidents). Is the enjoyment of a traveller in search of pleasure to be measured merely in miles; or, what is worse in miles per-hour, or what is worse still, in miles-per-gallon ? Surely the cyclist, pedalling calmly along at a modest twelve miles an hour is able to assimilate scenery more easily, more completely, and with more enjoyment, than the hurrying occupant of a car! Cyclists believe that their method of travel is a sensible and convenient compromise between walking and driving. If bicycles were unobtainable, most keen cyclists would become trampers rather than motorists.
There are at least two distinct types of cyclists. The exercise of pedalling provides an all sufficient satisfaction for one type. This is the purely athletic rider who travels in long, fast riders, in time trails, and other forms of strenuous competition, and sometimes attacks records. This type of cyclist goes into strict training, develops length rust, and perfect ankle action and thinks nothing of pedalling at twenty miles and thinks nothing of pedalling at twenty miles and hour. The other distinct type is the tourist, who takes no interest in racing but a deep interest in the countryside and the pageant unfolded by the open road. Comparatively, few cyclists are interested deeply in both racing and touring. (Around 470 words).
