Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern plane you can travel to lots of places in one day.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane. But you can see beautiful countryside when you are traveling by train. Modern trains give comfortable seats and dining cars. They make the journey(旅途) interesting.
Some people like to travel by sea. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very nice way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your plan. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop whenever you wish to see something interesting. If you find a good place to have meals you can stop, too. That is why traveling by car is popular, while people usually take a train or a plane when they travel on business.

开心蛙口算题卡系列答案When I was a boy, I was a football fan. I played football with some other boys in the backyard all the time. My mom was worried that I would get ill in the hot summer.
One day my brother gave me a new football. I came into the yard and played it excitedly. But suddenly, the ball flew through the window and nearly hit my dad. Dad said nothing. He took my football and cut it in half.
I didn’t cry because I knew how terrible my mistake was. I didn’t expect (期待) to get another football. But to my surprise, Dad bought me another one the next month and told me to be more careful. I was really thankful for my father’s forgiveness (宽恕). He showed me that even when I made a mistake, he still loved me and gave me another chance.
Parents always give us their unconditional (无条件的) love and forgiveness. We should always give our love and forgiveness to them, too.

One of the most common questions I am asked is whether, when, and how to follow up after a job interview. Following up in some way is necessary. Yes, you can get a job without it, but if you compete (竞争) with other top candidates (候选人), following up can sometimes help you when the other candidate doesn’t. Here’s how to follow up well:
Send a thank-you note at once. E-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arriving faster, but handwritten notes are still appreciated (欣赏). And if there are many interviews, send a thank-you note each time.
Find out their timeline. Hopefully, you asked about their timeline in the interview itself, but if you didn’t, follow up within a week to strengthen (强化) your interest and politely ask what they expect their timeline for a decision to be.
Be patient. Most commonly, job seekers are too worried about the result. It doesn’t look worried to express your interest in the job or check in to ask about the timeline.
Don’t be nervous if you don’t hear from them at once. The hiring process (招聘过程) often takes longer than a candidate would like, maybe the decision makers are out of town. If you’re past the time they indicated you would hear something, this isn’t necessarily cause for nervousness. Hiring often ends up taking longer than expected. Just politely follow up, explain you’re very interested but understand that hiring can take time, and ask if they have the latest timeline.

Mary picked up a pencil and a piece of paper，saying，“Now，you want to earn money for the autumn camping trip，right?” Tom，her brother，nodded．He wasn’t able to go last year because he hadn’t earned enough money during the summer．This year he came up with a plan．
He made a necklace for his mother that everyone admired．They were surprised to learn that Tom had made it for her．Why not make more necklaces and sell them?

“OK．If you sell each necklace for $ 6.00，you'll make a good profit（利润）on each then，” said Mary．

Every year, we celebrate many special days─Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and New Year’s Day. In some countries, there is a special day for playing tricks on others. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fool’s Day, and is celebrated on April 1.
Many people believe that the French started April Fool’s Day. Centuries ago, New Year’s Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1.
Some people did not like this, and chose to keep April 1 as New Year’s Day. Many called these people ‘April fools’ and played jokes and tricks on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.
On April Fool’s Day, jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend’s clock ahead one hour, or change the sugar and salt. In Scotland, April Fool’s Day lasts for two days. The second day is called ‘Taily Day’─for one’s ‘tail’. On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying ‘kick me’ on a person’s back or behind. Other countries have their own ‘Fool’s Day’. In Spain and Mexico, people play tricks on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31.
In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. Jokes bring about a lot of laughter, and many shouts of ‘April Fool’!

Many years ago, when I was working as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Lisa. The poor little girl had a very serious disease and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion(输血) from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗体) to fight the illness.
The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(迟疑) for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, “Yes, I’ll do it if it can save Lisa.”
As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He looked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the colour returned to his sister’s face, his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid. He looked up at the doctor and asked, “ Will I start to die now?”
He was too young to understand the doctor. He thought he would have to give all his blood to his sister, but he agreed.
