Watch out! Here comes London Mayor Boris Johnson riding a bicycle from his new bike hire plan. “What we’ve put in is a new form of public transport. These bikes are going to belong to everybody.”More than 12,000 people have signed up for the plan. They each receive a key at a cost of three pounds, with costs at one pound for a 24-hour membership, five pounds for seven days, and 45 pounds for an annual membership.John Payne, a London teacher who cycles a lot, is among the first to use the system. “It’s very comfortable. For people who don’t cycle much I think it’ll be very useful. But for people who cycle regularly, they are possibly a bit slow. But they’re perfect for London streets, very strong. I think they’ll be very widely used.”And Johnson says it’s of good value. “I think it’s extremely good value. The first half hour is free. If you cycle smart and you cycle around London—most journeys in London take less than half an hour, you can cycle the whole day free.” Some 5,000 bikes are currently available at over 300 docking stations(租车点)in central London. Johnson says the city will gradually expand the system. “Clearly one of our ambitions is to make sure that in 2012 when the world comes to London; they will be able to use London hire bikes to go to the Olympic stadiums.”

In theory, at least, the problem is that there are very many choices to make.Let us try to list some of the alternatives between which parents are forced to decide. To begin with, they may ask themselves whether they would like their child to go to a single-sex school or a co-educational school. They may also consider whether he should go to a school which is connected to a particular church or religious group, or whether the school should have no such connections. Another decision is whether the school should be one of the vast majority financed by the State or one of the very small but influential minority of private schools, though this choice is, of course, only available to the small number of those who can pay. Also connected with the question of money is whether the child should go to a boarding school or live at home. Then there is the question of what the child should do at school. Should it be a school whose curriculum lays emphasis, for instance, on necessary skills, such as reading, writing and mathematics, or one which pays more attention to developing the child’s personality, morally, emotionally and socially. Finally, with dissatisfaction with conventional education as great as it is in some circles in England and certainly in the USA, the question might even arise in the parents’ minds as to whether the child should be compelled to go to school at all. Although in practice, some parents may not think twice about any of these choices and send their child to the only school available in the immediate neighbourhood，any parent who is interested enough can insist that as many choices as possible be made open to him, and the system is theoretically supposed to provide them.44.
