In 1768, the king of England sent him to explore the Pacific Ocean. Cook spent three years on that trip. He went to the Pacific again in 1772 and made maps of the coasts of Australia and New Zealand. He also made Australia and New Zealand English colonies.

The First Bicycle
Bicycles are very popular around the world. People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment. In some places, people use a bicycle to get to work. But who invented the first bicycle?
In 1791, a Frenchman named Comte de Sivrac invented and owned the first bicycle. Mr. Sivrac rode the bicycle in Paris. The handles for the hands and the seat looked like a horse and were wooden. This bicycle was very difficult to move. A rider had to pick up the front wheel to change direction. (A bicycle moves on two wheels, a car on four.) Finally, it had no brakes to stop it or pedals for the feet.
In 1817, a German named Baron von Drais de Sauerbrun made the first bicycle better. The seat was more comfortable. The wheel could change direction. His ride in the forest took only one hour instead of three hours on foot!
Sauerbrun brought this kind of bicycle from Germany to France. Then, Denis Johnson, an Englishman, made a bicycle for women. It had space for their dresses to hang down. But these bicycles still had no brakes or pedals, and people often got hurt. These bicycles and the people who rode them were not very popular.
It took another forty-five years for the bicycle to become popular gain. Over 100 years later, bicycle riding is even more popular than ever. There are bicycles in India and China. In fact, there are more bicycles than cars in the United States today!

Cricket
Cricket is an English game. People from most other countries think it is very, very slow, but the English think it is exciting.
There are two teams with eleven players on each team in a cricket match. They play out-doors on a field. They play around two wickets. A wicket is three sticks in the ground with two sticks across them at the top. The wickets are twenty meters apart.
One player is a bowler. He stands by one wicket and throws a ball at the other wicket. He tries to hit one of the top sticks and make it fall to the ground.
Another player is a batsman. He holds a stick called a bat. He stands behind the second wicket. He tries to hit the ball before it hits the sticks. If he hits the ball, he runs to the other wicket. Sometimes he can run from one wicket to the other several times until a player in the field catches the ball and throws it back to the wickets.
An important match can continue for four or five days. The players make hundreds of runs. Cricket began in England in the 1300s. It became a major sport in the 1700s. Englishmen taught the game to people in their colonies. Today cricket is still popular in most of those countries.
