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 favorite places for vacations 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　4　I go on vacation，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(车厢) are　5　crowded and they are very comfortable．If you’re going on　6　trip, 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 because you don’t go too fast and you stop quite often．Also train travel is very safe，and I am never sick on a train　11　I am on a ship. Then there are always people to　12　to if you feel like a chat.
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　．

When I finally got to that family, I 　3　 those little children were too hungry to say 　4　. I gave the food to the mother. She took half of it, and then 　5　. When she returned, I asked her, “　6　 did you go?” She gave me this simple 　7　, “To my neighbours — they are also 　8　!”
I was not surprised that she gave the food to others, because poor people are always very 　9　. But I was surprised that she gave her 　10　 half the food when her children were still hungry. Usually, when we are in trouble, we always think of ourselves first, and we have no time for others.
