Martin had just finished high school. He would go to college at the far end of the city. He didn’t want to live there, and he didn’t want to take the bus either. So his father agreed to buy him a car.
His father spent all his summer teaching him how to drive, from the ABC to the XYZ. Thinking of the great feeling of driving a new car, Martin learned very quickly, and received his driver’s license just before his eighteenth birthday.
The second day, all the family, and their dog, went to a car shop. Martin spent almost all the morning going from one car to another. Finally he saw a red Blue Bird. He had a test drive on the open ground, and called out, “This is what I want, Dad!” When everything was done, they were ready to leave.
Martin climbed into the front seat. He said excitedly, “It’s my first day driving alone. Dad, Mom, and Poo! Enjoy it!”
His dad immediately took the back seat, right behind the new driver. Martin wondered why his father chose that seat, for his father always enjoyed looking in front.
So he said, smiling, “I’m sure you’re back there to have a change after all those weeks of sitting in the front seat teaching me how to drive.”
“No,” Dad replied, “Do you remember what you did to me all those years when I took you to and from school? I am sitting here to hit and kick the back of your seat all the way!”Which of the following is NOT the reason why Martin’s father agreed to buy him a car?.
| A．Martin would go to college and it was far from home. |
| B．Martin preferred living at home to living at college. |
| C．Martin didn’t want to take the public transport. |
| D．Martin was able to learn how to drive very quickly. |
In which order did Martin do the following things?
a. He finished his high school. b. He test-drove driving the new car.
c. He got his driver’s license. d. He decided to buy the Blue Bird.
e. He kicked the front seat while his father was driving.

Many people like to travel (旅行) by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport（机场）is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off (起飞) and it is often late. You can’t open the window. You can’t choose（选择）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 (安全的). Railway stations（火车站） are usually in cities. When you can’t catch 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 (旅行) 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?
