Many people like to travel（旅行）by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport（飞机场）is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for(等待）hours for the plane to take off（起飞） and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose（选择）the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours 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（晚的）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（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.
【小题1】Why do many people like to travel by plane?

As a girl, I've spent a great deal of my time on earth concerned about my weight. So I do know something about exercise. Let me tell you about the calorie-burning activities I've tried or will try.

Salsa (萨尔萨舞)

I try to maintain my weight through dancing. Dancing improves my coordination and sense of rhythm in addition to burning calories. I'm personally interested in salsa, which I find sexy and expressive(有表现力的). But I have not yet to start classes, because classes are very expensive, and I cannot find a dance partner.

Ping-Pong

Ping-pong is the national sport of China, so how could I know nothing about it?

My father is a ping-pong fan, and a really good player. He's won several informal (非正式的) matches. My relationship with ping-pong has always been on-and-off. I'll get into it for a while, and then lose interest. The reason is because I can’t find a good partner. Some stronger can depress you, while someone weaker (or just as weak) can make the game boring.

Tae Kwon Do （跆拳道）

I've recently decided to try tae kwon do as my regular exercise activity. There’s a story behind this choice: A few weeks ago, I was sitting on a bus, concentrating on a book. Suddenly, the bus became very quiet except for the sound of a woman’s crying. I looked up to see what had happened and overheard whispers that she had just quarreled with a man, and the man slapped(拍打) her face. No one on the bus dared say anything because the man looked really strong. Even now I feel ashamed I was among the silent.

That’s why I've made up my mind to learn something that will help me protect others and myself.

2.Why doesn’t the girl want to go to learn salsa?

3.She is interested in ping-pong because ________.

4.She has made up her mind to learn Tae Kwon Do mainly because______.

5.We can learn from the passage that________.

My version(视力) is getting worse. I can’t even see what is five feet away from me without glasses. ①我拒绝戴眼镜，though I know I need to. I’m afraid they will make me look ugly. Besides, I can do well without them. These were my thoughts two years ago, when I was in the sixth grade. An embarrassing experience taught me that what I was thinking was wrong.

②School has been out for two months. I was going to junior high school soon, where I was sure that looks are everything. So the question still remained there. Should I, Or should I not, wear glasses? The question was still in my mind when my family and I attended a wedding(婚礼) late in the summer.

During the wedding, I drank too much juice. Soon after it ended, I walked quickly to the bathroom. Since it was an emergency(紧急) and I couldn’t clearly see which door was ③marked boys. I just opened the nearest door and entered the restroom.

Unluckily, I had entered the wrong restroom. But I didn’t know this until I heard a scream(尖叫声) coming from the entrance when I was washing my hands .

After that, I decided to wear the ugly-looking glasses. I didn’t really ④care about what people thought of me any more, because I never wanted to enter the wrong bathroom again.

On the first day of seventh grade, ⑤my friends didn’t make fun of me. Instead they gave me compliments. They thought the glasses made me look more cute and more natural.

So if you know something is right, just do it. ⑥It doesn’t matter what others think of you. All that matters is what you think of yourself—and that you can see where you are going!
