　　My work keeps me in Hong Kong most of the year, but I try to get away for a month in summer, usually in July. Now as you probably know, that's the main 1 season in Europe. The favourite places for holidays and the famous cities are usually very 2 . But I'm not seeking (寻求) the sun--I can get lots of 3 in Hong Kong--and I'm certainly not seeking the crowds！ So when I 4 holiday, I buy a Train Pass (a kind of train ticket) that allows me first-class travel on most of the railways of Western Europe. First-class compartments are 5 crowded and they are very comfortable. If you're going on overnight 6 , you can take a sleeping train for an extra charge. There are usually dining cars(餐车)in the train.

　　I find that train travel is restful and 7 . There's always 8 to see. .I particularly (特别地) enjoy 9 through Switzerland and Italy. You can get a very good 10 of what a country is like from a train; you don't' go too fast and you stop quite often. Also train travel is very 11 , and I am never sick on a train as I am on a ship. Then there are always people to 12 if you feel like a chat(闲谈).

　　The reason that I seldom (很少)travel by plane is quite 13 because train stations are usually built in the centre. I don't have to 14 transport(运输工具); transport can be a problem when arriving by 15 .

An expensive car speeding down the main street of a small town was soon over-taken by a young motorcycle policeman. As he started to take out the ticket, the woman in the car said proudly. “Before you go any further, young man, I think you should know that the mayor of this city is a good friend of mine.”
The officer did not say a word, but kept writing.
“I am also a friend of Chief of Police Barnes,” continued the woman, getting angrier each moment.
Still he kept on writing.
“Young man,” she said, “I know Judge Lawson and State Senator Patton.”
Handing the ticket to the woman, the officer asked pleasantly. “Tell me, do you know Bill Bronson?”
“No. Why?” she replied.
“Well, this is the man you should have known,” he said, going back to his motorcycle, “I am Bill Bronson.”
