      On Christmas Eve─the night before Christmas Day─children all over Britain put a stocking at the end of
their beds before they go to sleep. Their parents usually tell them that Father Christmas will come during the
night.
      Father Christmas is very kind and hearted. He gets to the top of each house and climbs down the chimney
into the fireplace. He fills each of the stockings with Christmas presents.

    On February 3rd, 1949, New York Harbor (港) was an exciting place. Many people were there to greet a
ship from France. On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars (火车车厢) filled with gifts from the people
of France to the people of America. These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train (Merci: a French word
meaning "thank you"). 
     After World War II (二战), a lot of factories,roads and farms in France had been destroyed. Many French
people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat. In the winter of 1947, a train was sent
across the United States, stopping in cities and towns along the way. At every stop, people gave whatever they
could. Factories gave clothing and medicine. Farmers gave food. Families gave money. Even school children
gave away their pocket money (零用钱). All the things were then taken to France by ship. 
     By 1949, the French had begun to recover (恢复) from the war. The Merci Train was their way of saying
"thank you" to America. French people had filled the boxcars with gifts. Most of them were personal, like
hand-made toys, children's drawings,or postcards. But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most
meaningful of the gifts. On each car, the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces with
an American eagle on the front. The boxcars were taken to each state of America, where they were warmly
greeted.
     Now many of the states still keep their boxcars. Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some
museums. The Merci Train came out of the war, but it now reminds the world that countries can also work
together in peace (和平).

    Tibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists. The number of travelers to Tibet has grown
by 10 percent every year for a few years. What is the best way to go to Tibet for tourist trip, by plane, by
bus or by train? People who want to go to Tibet always ask this question. If you take the plane, you won't
see the beautiful places on the way. If you take the bus, you will be very tired after the trip. If you take the
train, you can enjoy the scenery along the way and sleep quite well. Now, since July 1, when the first train
ran 1,956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.
    The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and the
Potala Palace. Passengers can enjoy many activities during the journey, like the Tibetan dancing and Karaoke.
On the train, passengers can have tea, eggs and noodles for breakfast, and fried green vegetables and chicken
for lunch. Unlike most Chinese trains which have open-hole toilets, this one has special toilets which can
collect the waste. There is also a special garbage system in the train that keeps the environment clean.
    All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight. Other equipment, such as
televisions and electrical sockets for computers and cell phones, can also be found on the train. 
    Because there isn't much oxygen there, trains will have oxygen masks for those who need them. It makes
the passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous "roof of the world".
There are also doctors on the train to make sure that all of the travelers are safe.

     Learning a new language is always a challenge. There are new words, new grammar, and new
pronunciation. Language is an important part of culture, and becoming familiar with (熟悉) the culture
as well as the language can make the learning experience much more enjoyable.
     When I was a university student, I studied Chinese for three years. Before I went to university, I had
very little knowledge of China. Therefore, when I started learning to speak Chinese, it was important for
me to also learn about China's history and culture. China's culture is very different from my own and I
become interested in it soon.
     It will be much more fun to learn about culture when you study a new language. Culture can teach you
so many things about a language. It can give you background information about the language and tell you
the history of the language. I also found out one fact, that is, if you have some knowledge about the country
and the culture, you will communicate with its people much easier.
     Whenever I try to learn a new language, I enjoy knowing information about the culture as well. It's a
challenge to dig (挖掘) deeper for more information, but it is very rewarding!
