    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure (奇遇)？Riding the train can be a real adventure.That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak.I often take a four?hour trip to visit my children.Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.

    Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride，there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation— in another language.It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train.I think it was annoying.

    Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two?day trip by train.She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home，although she had no trouble driving.The train ride was the only choice for her.She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.

    She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents.That is a very good question.Both of us are old and have children.She asked that same question from time to time.

    There are always many people on the train from all walks of life，different countries，and many languages.Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures.If you get hungry，you can buy food in the food car at any time.If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.

    It sure beats driving the car，which has to stop for food and restrooms.And it is better than taking the bus.

    I remember a time l went shopping on my first visit to Hung Kong．Coming from cold and cloudy England，I was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt．Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin(白皙皮肤)，my legs were very white．In the UK this is not a fashionable look at all．Most women spend every sunny day out in the suit trying to get darker skin．The darker the shin，the better the look．I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!

        As I walked around one shop，two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time，talking quietly to each other in Chinese．I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave．After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong．I complained(抱怨)about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs．I was embarrassed(尴尬) that they were talking about my white skin．My friend laughed，“They weren’t laughing at you．They were saying how nice your legs are．Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours．In fact，there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them．”

        It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have．The grass is always greener on the other side．If the women of the West and East thought the same way，western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter．

        I first met Windy, a six-year-old girl, on the beach near where I lived. Every time when I felt unhappy, I
    drove to the beach. She was building sand house or something else there. She looked up, her eyes were as blue
    as the sea.
