In the United States, train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes. Most people like traveling by car or by air.
Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001. The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips longer than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle. Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled in a bus. And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train.
Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States. In the past ten years, the number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent. Although the number of passengers has increased, it is still very small now. In countries such as France, Germany, or Japan, more people use trains.
There are several reasons why many people __________________________.
Firstly, Americans love to drive their own cars. On highways, cars can travel as fast as trains. These highways connect all major cities in America.Secondly, many travelers like to be independent. When they use their own cars they can decide when to travel. Thirdly, many buses travel between major cities. Bus travel is less costly than train travel.
In a huge country like the United States, cities are far away from each other. In some cases, travel from one city to another by train may take more than a day. Airplanes can carry passengers over long distances much faster. People who do not want to spend long time traveling by train decide to fly. For these people saving time is the most important thing.

Comic(喜剧的)book superhero Spider-Man uses tiny hairs on his fingertips to climb up walls．But he could have had another secret weapon to help him stick．
Scientists have now found that some spiders can also make silk in their feet, which may sometimes help them get a firmer grip on a surface．
Spiders are good at gripping walls with their legs．Thousands of little hairs on their feet make it possible．To test whether spiders also make these hairs wet to improve grip, scientists watched zebra tarantulas crawl(爬行)up glass slides．
When they tilted a glass slide until it was almost vertical, the spider slipped a few millimeters before attaching itself again．The scientists were surprised to see little threads(线)stretching from its feet to the slide．When they studied the spider’s feet under a special microscope, they found tiny silk-shooting spouts(吐出)among the hairs．
This was a surprise because scientists had previously thought spiders only use special organs near their stomachs to make silk．
It’s possible that, a long time ago, feet were the first body parts of spiders to produce silk．Only later in their evolutionary(进化)history did spiders develop spinnerets on their abdomens(腹部)to produce silk for webs(网)．
If so, the researchers say, this could mean that the silk’s original purpose was to , rather than to build homes or trap prey(猎物)．

reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the
following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
Try physical activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing (释放) the pressure (压力) through exercise or
physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis and working in your garden are just some of the activities
you might try.
Take care of yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep
well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations.
If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should go to see a doctor.
Make time for yourself
Schedule time (确定时间) for both work and entertainment. Don't forget, play can be just as important
to your well-being (幸福) as work. You need a break from your daily routine (日常事务) to just relax and
have fun. Go window-shopping or work on a hobby. Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do
something you enjoy.
Make a list of things to do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there's so much to do,and not enough time".
Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve
anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then _____, check off each task as it is
completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.
