6．Have you ever spent a night on a train？In the world of high speed railways and low-fare （价格低廉）airlines，traveling by night train sounds out of date．The main way of railway travel is long gone in most European countries and the United States．（60）C．They are considered rather economical （节省的） ways of traveling from city to city as the fares are a lot lower than flights and traveling between cities takes many hours or even days．

5．A group of frogs were traveling through the woods，and two of them fell into a deep hole．When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was，they told the two frogs that they were hopeless to be alive．But the two frogs didn't believe it．（60）E．The other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death．Finally，one of the two frogs gave up and fell down．Soon he died．
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could．Once again，the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just wait to die．（61）B．
When he got out，the other frogs said："Didn't you hear us？"The frog explained to them that he was deaf．（62）D．

Speak life to those who cross your path．It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way．It is great for a person to take the time to encourage another．
