Jack loves travelling by train. Travelling by train is very comfortable. Most of the trains are air-conditioned, warm in winter and cool in summer. Jack usually chooses a non-smoking section, taking a seat by the window so he can enjoy the outside views. If it is a night train, the experience can be more exciting. He just sleeps the whole night and the next day he will be in a new city. By the way, he never has to worry about his meals. The train provides food 24 hours a day.
Travelling by train has another advantage（优点）: you may meet some old friends or you can listen to people talking about something of your interest. Last week when he was on a train, for example, he ran into a primary school classmate. They didn’t hope that they could bump into（偶遇）each other that way. They talked about many things: The games they played, the jokes they made on their classmates and the funny things they had done.

【推荐3】I’m Sharon. One of my favorite countries to go on vacation is China. After falling in love with the country on a business（生意）trip two years ago, I took my children to China last summer. We visited three cities, but Xi’an was the most interesting one. This old city is amazing and our children loved to ride bicycles on the famous City Wall. The wall is about 14 kilometers long and it has a very long history. Visitors can rent bicycles there and it is very cheap. And on each corner you can take a rest and enjoy a bottle of cold water. Trust（相信） me, your children will love the trip!

[1] Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, 2023, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen.
[2] ① do we develop self-driving cars?

[5]But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. ③ something unexpected happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would fail to see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction.
[6]“It is clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen,” said China Daily.

【推荐3】In the 1700s, many scientists worked on steam engines. In the 1760s, a scientist in England found a way to put steam engines and wheels together. Soon people had a new type of transportation: the steam train.
In 1804, the first train engine was born in England. It travelled only about fifteen kilometres in two hours, In 1825, the first passenger railway opened. The Rocket was the most famous early engine.
During the 1830s, countries all over the world started to build railways. Fifty years later many countries had railways. People built many train stations to help passengers get on and off the trains easily.
Early trains were slow by today’s standards. The Rocket had a top speed of only 45 kilometres per hour. Today’s high-speed trains can travel at about over 300 kilometres per hour. The fastest trains can go about 500 kilometres an hour.
Maybe trains will have no wheels in the future. Maybe they will ride on air. That would be amazing.
1. Where did the first train engine appear?2. When did railways start to be built around the world?
3. How fast can today’s high-speed trains travel at each hour?
4. Do you like travelling by high-speed train? Why or why not? Write 30 words or more.
Cats or Dogs! These can be fighting words, depending on who you’re talking to.
Clearly, there are dog people and there are cat people. Dog people prefer (更喜欢) dogs and think they are “man’s best friends”, while cat people like cats because they think cats are elegant and independent. Sometimes the two groups even argue with each other.
Dogs seem to be winning the battle. An Associated Press poll (民意调查) in 2018 showed that people in the US liked dogs more than cats. As much as 74 percent said they liked dogs “a lot” but only 41 percent said the same thing about cats. The 2018 White Paper on China’s Pet Industry also showed that there were around 11 million more dog owners than cat owners in Chinese cities.
However, cats seem to get more attention online. There are even some new slang terms to refer to them. Cats are described as “masters” (喵主子). Even those who don’t have pet cats are doing something called “cloud cat petting” (“云吸猫”), which refers to (指) viewing pictures and videos of cats online.
An article in The Guardian pointed out that dog owners usually go outside to play with their pets or their neighbors’ dogs. But since cats are mainly indoor animals, they are more likely to stay at home. The Internet has become a virtual (虚拟的) “cat park” for cat owners.
But it doesn’t really matter if you prefer cats or dogs. Having a connection with any animal can make us feel good.
1. What do cat people think of cats?2. How do people without pet cats do something called “cloud cat petting”?
3. Do you prefer cats or dogs? Why?
【推荐2】Life is a process of growing up instead of growing old. So cut down the following habits today if you want to enjoy a healthier and younger life.
◆Waiting for your sadness to go away
Sadness isn't just uncomfortable, it also makes you become older fast. Take your mental( 精 神的 )health as seriously as your physical health. If you've been fighting with your sadness for more than two weeks, be sure to find professional help. Paying no attention to your sadness or just waiting without doing anything can do harm to your mental health and make you older.
◆Having a cigarette or two on weekends
If you smoke only when you are with your friends on weekends, can you keep away from the harmful effects of smoking? The answer is “No”. Smoking can break down your skin's elasticity( 弹 性 ). Your smoking habit may even make your hair become gray. Changing your smoking habit is changing your life.
◆Having a long to do list day after day
It's natural to have a to-do list in our "go, go, go" daily life. But if you're always running from one thing to the next, and caught in too much business, you are turning older fast, because your too long to-do list makes you tired and under lots of stress. Stress can cause heart disease, high blood pressure and other physical diseases. It can also cause mental health problems or make the problems worse and worse.
