Jim Green has been in China for more
than two years. He has been to many interesting 31 in Beijing, but he has not
yet been to many other parts of 32
. Last week he went to Mount Emei in Sichuan
with his 33 .
Many people like to travel by 34
, but the Greens think that travelling by train is the best. It is much 35
and far more enjoyable than a rushed journey by air. They had a wonderful
train ride to Chengdu 36 they went on to Mount Emei
by bus.
The train was quite nice and
tidy, and there weren't too many people in 37 sleeping car. The Greens could stand up
and 38 around. It was a long journey, 39 none of them felt tired. They kept 40 the beautiful things out of the window.
They talked, laughed and played cards. The conductor kept coming to give them
hot water and 41 them newspapers. People nearby 42
with each other. A young man tried to speak English with Mr and Mrs Green. Jim
thought the train was like a big moving party. He went to sleep quite 43 . He enjoyed listening to the sound
of the running train and then fell asleep.
When Jim woke up the next morning, the
train was already 44 Chengdu.
His train ride seemed really 45 , but his memory (记忆) of the pleasant journey will last long.
