完形填空

　　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 .

Dear Linda,

　　I have been in England three months now. I hope you don't think I've forgotten you. There have been so many places to see and so many things to do that I've not had much time for writing letters.

　　I shall soon be starting my studies at King's College. So far I've been learning about England and British ways of living. I won't tell you about London. There are plenty of books you can read and plenty of pictures you can look at. I'm sure you'll be more interested to know what I think about the life here.

　　I find some of the customs (风俗) new and interesting. People here do not shake hands as much as we do in Europe. During the first few weeks I was often surprised because people did not put out their hands when I met them. Men raise (抬起) their hats to women but not to each other.
