   Many people like to travel by plane,but I don,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 windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast but it still takes much time to go 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 are late for 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 whenever 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.(江苏省苏州市2012 —2013学年八年级期中模拟考试英语试题)

   Cellphones help us easily find people anywhere at any time. However,using cellphones too often may cause cancer. It's reported that people who used a cellphone for 10 years or more were more likely to get brain cancer. 

   The suggestions below may help you reduce the risk (风险) of cancer: 

   ◆When using your cellphone,try lo keep it away from your body as much as possible. Don’t put it under your pillow (枕头) or on a bedside table when you go to sleep.

   ◆When you’re on the cellphone,use the speaker. In this way,you have just 1/100th of the contact (接触) with radiation you have when you hold it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea.

   ◆Try to keep your conversations short. If you need to talk longer,use an ordinary phone instead. 

   ◆Change ears when you’re using your cellphone. Before putting it to your ear,wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone.

   ◆Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text (发短信) ,but not when you’re listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.

   ◆Do not use your cellphone when the signal (信号) weak or when moving at a high speed,for example in a car or train. At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals,and this increases the radiation it gives out.

                        McDonald’s Opens a restaurant in New Delhi 

   NEW DELHI,INDIA —McDonald's is opening its first restaurant in New Delhi,India. It is the only McDonald's in the world with no beef on the menu. You can't eat Big Macs here,but there are mutton Maharajah Macs. These hamburgers are made from Indian sheep,and the fries are made from Indian potatoes. The soda comes from an Indian bottler (灌装公司) . Many old and young people come to the new restaurant. Mr. Sahani,who is 75 years old,says he comes all the way from a town which is 90 miles south of New Delhi. “I like it because McDonald's has not brought things from overseas. All the food comes from India. ” A 19-year-old boy,Pankresh,says ,“If the food is good,I don't care where it comes from. ”

   A rich Indian man,Vikram Bakshi,owns half of the restaurant. The McDonald's company owns the other half. Bakshi says the restaurant serves mutton because 80% of Indians are Hindu. Hindus don't eat beef. They also believe that it is wrong to kill cows. The menu at the New Delhi McDonald^ has some other Indian food. For the Indians who don't eat any meat at all,there are Vegetable McNuggets. They are made with rice,peas,carrots and red pepper. McDonald's has 20,000 restaurants in more than 95 countries.

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan...” And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two weeks ago?”And then, in perfect English I said, “I’m getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”

Then she talked more loudly, “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.
