1 . Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern plane it takes one day to travel places which took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages（优势）. You can see the country you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. _They_____make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large planes and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish --- where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel where you can spend the night.

3 . According to a national study, in the summer of 2013, the long-term(长期的) warm weather in the UK has made the number of butterflies increase.
Around 46,000 volunteers(志愿者) took part in the year’s Big Butterfly Count(统计), and they found 830,000 butterflies. Volunteers were asked to make a record. They would record how many times they found one of 21 different kinds of butterflies.
Later, the scientists used the records to find out how many butterflies of different kinds were found across the country. Then, they compared the results to the year before. They found that there was a rise in the number of 15 kinds of butterflies, and some of them went up by 50% compared to recent years. They said the increase in butterfly numbers was a result of warm weather.
However, scientists also said that the number of butterflies was in decline(下降) as a whole, and that we might not see_______ the next year.
Richard Fox, who works for Butterfly Conservation, said, “UK butterflies are in long-term decline. Studies have been done since the 1970s. They show that UK butterflies have declined in type and number.”

Lomond Elementary School (小学) in Ohio is one of them. Each week, all students in grades one through five have a one-hour Chinese class. They learn the language through songs, games and lots of talking.
“We’re trying to make students interested in the language,” teacher James told Times for Kids. “We think it’s really important that all children receive these lessons,” he says. “We’d like to do even more.”
