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 (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 it still takes 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 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?

Which is not the good thing about the train?
| A．It is safe. |
| B．It takes a little more time. |
| C．You can open the windows. |

Strange，but the green sea turtle is not that green． It’s certainly not as green as a tree． In fact，its shell(壳)is nearly black or brown．The largest hard-shelled sea turtle is between 200 and 300 pounds heavy and a shell is between 36 and 43 inches(英尺)long．But its head is smaller than other turtles．
Little baby green sea turtles are only two inches long．As the turtle grows up，its shell keeps mostly black while the body turns orange or brown．Young turtles like living in the sea，especially in areas with 1ots of sea grasses．
Green sea turtles，like all sea turtles，are very different from land or river turtles．All sea turtles can swim through the water faster．Instead of feet for walking，sea turtles have flippers(鳍状肢)which are better for swimming．The flippers aren’t good on land，however，and walking is hard for a sea turtle because they are usually big and heavy．
One other interesting thing about a sea turtle’s flippers is that they cannot be pulled into their shells．Land turtles can pull their feet into their shells for protection．but a sea turtle can’t．

Louie was crazy about chocolate. He loved having chocolate biscuits for breakfast. He asked his dad to buy all kinds of chocolate cookies for him.
One morning, Louie’s big brother, Ben, said to Louie, “You can’t live without chocolate, can you?” “Of course I can,” said Louie. “But I don’t want to.” “I bet you anything that you can’t live without chocolate for one whole week,” said Ben. Louie stopped eating his chocolate cookies and looked at Ben, “You bet anything? Even your new skateboard?” “Why not?” said Ben. “I’m sure you can’t last seven whole days.” “That’s what you think,” said Louie. And then he put his chocolate cookies into a box.
Monday was easy for Louie. He had porridge for breakfast. On Tuesday he didn’t exchange his yogurt for Anna’s chocolate pudding at lunch. On Wednesday he went to Franco’s birthday party and didn’t eat the chocolate cake. On Thursday, Aunt Irene came to visit with chocolate-chip cookies. “I’m not really hungry,” said Louie. On Friday and Saturday Louie didn’t exchange his apple juice for Josh’s chocolate milk.
Then came Sunday. Louie woke up and found a glass of milk and a pile of chocolate cookies beside his bed. “Go ahead. Enjoy yourself,” said Ben. Louie picked up a piece of chocolate cookie, but then he stopped, “I’m thinking how delicious it will taste tomorrow after I ride my new skateboard,” said Louie. “Oh, no!” cried Ben. “I was so close!”

Jack thought himself a basketball fan. He watched quite a lot of American NBA basketball games. Not only did he watch them, he spent much of his free time playing on the court too. Then came the final year of his middle school. All of his regular teammates stopped showing up on the court because they were simply too busy preparing for the high school entrance exam to play. He was, of course, under much stress himself, like everyone else. A good exam result meant a good high school; a mediocre(平庸的)score meant a mediocre school. Much was at stake. However, he loved basketball so much that he still found time to play, this time with a group of guys who were said to have skipped classes(逃课)before.
Some of his teachers started worrying about him. They asked his mother to go to school to let her know that Jack was hanging out with problem kids. When his mother returned home that day, she wanted to talk to Jack. Knowing the purpose of her visit to the school, Jack thought his mother would punish him for befriending（以朋友方式对待） those bad guys. To his surprise, his mother was not angry with him at all. She wanted to hear her son's side of the story. So Jack told his mother about what he knew of Simon and Peter. Simon's parents were badly ill; Peter's father had lost his job. They both seemed to Jack to be normal kids. Jack's mother thought for a moment, then went on to say that she was OK with her son playing with them and that she and her son should think of ways to help these kids. Soon Jack's mum introduced some part-time jobs to Simon and Peter, which they accepted. She believed in her son and cared about those who were less lucky.
Jack's basketball friends and he have left for different places, but they still keep in touch. He knows Peter is now a manager of a local bank. Simon is currently a freshman at a university. Sadly, it is impossible to get together to play basketball again, but whenever they get on the phone, they talk about it all the time.
