Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. you can’t open the window. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch another one .you can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.Why do many people like to travel by plane?____

During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. They sang songs that they had brought from Africa while working. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers repeated it. The songs' words told of the hardships (艰苦) that people suffered. They clapped their hands and stomped (跺) their feet to the music.
In the 1860s, the music changed greatly. African American music took new forms. It was also influenced by dance music, which had great rhythm. Banjos (班卓琴) became popular. A blues singer usually sang a line and then played the banjo in reply. By the early 1900s, the guitar had taken the place of the banjo in the blues music.
The blues music has many obvious characteristics. One of them is that the musical notes are often "bent". That is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.
Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often about the relationships between men and women. They tell about sadness and overwork. They tell about finding and losing love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech. A group of blues lyrics usually has three lines. The second line repeats the first line. The third line has different words.

Forty years ago, I was in Grade One. One day,I was asked to go to the principal’s office（校长办公室）. I was really nervous. When I pushed the heavy door open. I found my parents were sitting in the office,too. My father walked to me,with some of my drawings in his hand. “Why do you only use a black crayon(蜡笔)when you draw?” he asked.
I said nothing. “Show me to your desk,” said my father.
So we returned to my classroom. My father pulled out my crayon box. There was only one black crayon in it. “Where are the rest of your crayons?”
I quietly explained that I’d given all the other crayons to my friends. I shared my things with others as my parents had taught me.
Then I looked at my father, then at the principal—both their faces were red. Years later, I learned that my father’s face was red because of anger and the principal was red because he was embarrassed(尴尬的). When the principal saw all my pictures, he thought that I had a deep emotional（情绪的）problem. So he had called my parents in to discuss “my problem”.
In fact, I was too shy to ask for my “shared” crayons back. I didn’t stand up for myself!
