Did you go traveling on the train that was named after the letter D?
Named after the letter D, the new trains run at speeds of 200 to 250 kilometers one hour. These are much faster than Z-type and T-type trains. For example, it took people 12 hours to travel from Shanghai to Beijing before. But now it only takes 10 hours. The most interesting part of the bullet train is the revolving (旋转) seat. People can adjust (调整) their seats as they like, so that it is easy for you to talk with others around you face to face. The new trains run between big cities. They make the long trips much faster and more comfortable.
All coins have two sides. Many passengers still won't choose the bullet trains for some reasons. The ticket prices of the bullet trains are much higher. For an easy example, a hard seat ticket from Beijing to Jinan is only RMB 90 for T-type trains. But on the bullet trains all the seats are soft. And they cost RMB 153 to 154. On the other hand, the bullet trains stop at the small stations such as Tianjin only for one minute. That is too short.
A teacher stood in front of his history class of twenty students just before handing out (分发)the final exam. His students sat quietly and waited for him to speak.
"It's been a pleasure teaching you this term, " he said, "You've all worked very hard, so I have a great surprise for you. Everyone who chooses not to take the final exam will get a 'B' for the course."
Most of the students jumped out of their seats. They thanked the teacher happily, and walked out of the classroom. Only a few students stayed. The teacher looked at them. "This is your last chance." he said. "Does anyone else want to leave?" All the students there stayed in their seats and took out their pencils.
The teacher smiled. "Congratulations(祝贺)," he said. "I'm glad to see you believe in yourselves. You all get A s".
A subway is not just an important form of transport. It is also a window for other people to learn about local cultures.
Beijing, China
The Beijing Subway was opened in 1969 and is the oldest subway system in China. It has added some modern technologies. All stations now have touch-screen maps. In some stations, people can also see traditional Chinese cultures. For example, on the walls of a few stations of Line 8, there are some pictures of blue and white porcelain (青花瓷).
Stockholm, Sweden
The system of the Stockholm Subway has 100 stations in use, of which 47 are underground and 53 above ground. The first subway line for Stockholm was opened in 1950. The Stockholm Subway is well-known for its decoration of the stations. It is called the longest art gallery in the world. Over 90 percent of its stations are decorated with paintings. A few stations are decorated with red bedrocks (岩床). This makes you feel as if you are in a cave.
London, UK
The London Underground or the Tube is the oldest subway in the world. It was opened in 1863. During World War II, it was used to protect people from German plane attacks (袭击) on London. Now, it is a symbol of the city. There is no air conditioning in the trains, so it is very hot in summer.
New York, US
The New York City Subway runs 24 hours a day. It has an express(特快的) train on almost every line. You can get to your destination (目的地) quickly. The trains themselves are full of fun; you will see people doing moonwalk dances like Michael Jackson, playing the guitar and singing.
"Dreams may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream." some scientists say. Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night.
Dreams are like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come up over and over again. That may be the dreamer worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may have been thinking about their work all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.
Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we dream. The mind is still at work when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up tired.
Yesterday evening I went to see a film. After I went into the cinema, I began to look for my seat. It was Number 15, Row 12. I found it easily, but I saw a soldier(士兵) sitting on it. I walked to him and told him that the seat was mine. He said with a smile, "Oh, sorry. My seat is next to yours. Would you like to take that seat and leave this one to me?"
I looked at his seat. It was broken and had no back, so I disagreed. But he still wanted to changed our seats. I was ①________ and said loudly, "I don't want to do that. Are you trying to bully(欺负) me as a soldier? After ②________ this, the soldier stood up and moved to his seat.
Then I saw my seat was much worse than his seat. There was only a piece of wood(木头) left. It would be very uncomfortable to sir on it. Now I knew why the soldier wanted to changed his seat with me. I felt very sorry. The soldier again asked me to take his seat, but I didn't do that. I sat on the piece of the wood till the film finished.
