Many people like taking a plane to travel to other places.     1     I don’t like it. I think it takes long time     2     (get) to the airport (机场). Because it is always far     3     where people live. If (如果) we want to take a plane, we have to     4     (arrive) at the airport very early. For example, if the plane     5     (leave) at 9:00 a. m., maybe we need to get up before 6:00 a. m. Then, we need to wait for     6     (hour) for the plane. On the plane, many people can’t watch outside and they can’t walk everywhere,     7    .

We won’t have these problems if we take a train. Taking a train is one of my favorite     8     (way) when I want to travel. And now the high-speed (高速) trains can run very fast. If we are late     9     our train, we can take another one     10     (quick). And we can enjoy the beautiful scenery (风景) from the windows on the way.

He     9     (not know) why his hat ran into a house. And then he ran into the house, too.

A big woman stopped     10     (he) by shouting angrily, “What are you running after my hen (母鸡) for?”
