23、s.In fact,nearly half of all travel in the Netherlands is by bike.Now,one Dutch bike designer,Thomas,has taken the countrys interest in bikes by making a school bus bike.The big bike has eight sets of pedals for kids,a driver seat for an adult,and three other seats,comfortably letting little kids fo
24、r their trip to and from school.The bike even has a motor,which can help with high hills or at times when few kids on it.So far,Thomas tells Fast Company,hes sold 25 school-bikes,at a price of $25,000 eachless than it would cost to buy a traditional school bus with the same number of seats.Along wit
25、h the traditional color,the bikes are colored yellow so that they can be seen easily.Thomas says hes sold school bus bikes to neighboring countries such as Belgium,England and Germany,but so far,the school bus bike hasnt been sold in the United States.If the US agrees to buy this kind of school bus

Riding school bus bikes helps keep kids healthy.Americas businesses are getting older and fatter, while many new businesses are dying in infancy.A study last month by the Brookings Institution found that the proportion of older
29、 firms has grown steadily over several decades, while the survival rate of new companies has fallen. In addition, young people are starting companies at a sharply lower rate than in the past.A new report from the National Association of Manufacturers shows a major cause: The cost of obeying governme
30、nt regulations has risen to more than $2 trillion (12.26 trillion yuan) annually, or 12 percent of the GDP, and this cost falls disproportionately on smaller, newer businesses.Its risky, difficult and expensive to start a business, and getting more so. Governments are imposing various new rules on a
31、 seemingly daily basis: health insurance, minimum wage increases and, most recently in California, compulsory paid sick days for even hourly employees. These regulations shift huge social welfare costs directly onto often-struggling small businesses, while being proportionally much less costly for l

36、 of that bad policy. But lets be perfectly clear, we do not have a free market but one where government picks winners and losers through regulations and financial aids.Politics is, and always has been, about balancing competing interests seeking to benefit themselves, and thats as it should be, but
37、the force of government should never be used to reduce competition, kill innovation or support and extend artificial monopolies（垄断）by harming the consumer, the taxpayer and the economy. Policy must breed our new and small businesses or see the as-yet undreamed of innovations that could be our bright
38、 future die in infancy.32 We can learn from the passage that _.A. over several decades, new companies have grown steadilyB. the cost of obeying government regulations falls equally on all businessesC. less politically powerful firms also have their voice in making regulationsD. mature, successful co
