Train travel is becoming more popular.Amtrak,the US.national passenger rail company,reports that rider ship (公共交通工具的客流量) continues to grow each year.The passenger kilometres and numbers of passenger journeys are also increasing.There's every reason to believe train travel will continue to attract more passengers as fuel (燃料) prices climb.
   As you plan your vacation,you'll need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of train travel.Here are some things that you need to keep in mind.
   Train travel is fast and direct between major cities,especially in countries with high-speed trains.It's relatively easy to book a train trip.In many countries,you can book your tickets online or go to a train station to buy them.For single or couple travelers,travelling by train can be much less expensive than renting (租) a car,especially when you consider the cost of fuel and tolls (通行費).
   However,train schedules may not match your preferred travel times and days,so you might have to change your trip.This is especially true for long-distance train travel in the US.You may have to get off the train at midnight in a small station in an empty town in order to make a train connection.
   You need to bring your own food and drink onto the train as the food and drink served on trains can be expensive.Conditions on the train may be crowded,dirty or uncomfortable,especially at busy travel times or in developing countries.
   In the end,you'll need to do some research on train ticket prices,check schedules against your own plan and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of train travel against your personal preferences.

  • 1.Earthquakes happen without warning(前兆).They can happen any time of a day,at any point during the year.But don't worry because most are so weak that they cannot be felt.Only a few big ones hurt people.However,it's important to know what to do when an earthquake is happening.

  • 2.American children aren't the only couch potatoes out there.Nearly one third of children in the world spend three hours a day or more watching TV or playing computers,according to a study of over 70,000 teens in 34 nations.
       From Argentina to Zambia,Regina Guthold of the World Health Organization in Geneva and her colleagues found that most children aren't getting enough exercise. "In terms of physical activity levels,we did not find much of a difference between poor and rich countries," Guthold told Reuters Health. "Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that kids get more physical activity."
       The study,published in The Journal of Pediatrics,looked at 72,845 schoolchildren aged 13 to 15 from Africa,North and South America,Asia,Europe,and the Middle East.
       The researchers defined enough physical activity as at least an hour of exercise outside of gym class at least five days a week.Children who spent three or more hours a day watching TV,playing computer games,or chatting with friends—aside from time in school or time spent doing homework—were considered assedentary .The researchers found only one quarter of the boys and 15 percent of the girls were getting enough exercise bythese definitions .A quarter of the boys and nearly 30 percent of the girls sat too much and didn't get enough exercise.
       Children in Myanmar were the least sedentary,with 13 percent of boys and 8 percent of girls classified as sedentary.
       Girls were less active than boys in every country except for Zambia.Uruguay had the highest percentage of active boys,at 42 percent,while Zambia had the lowest,at 8 percent.Girls from India were the most active,with 37 percent meeting exercise definitions,while girls from Egypt were the least active,with just 4 percent getting enough exercise.
       While the study didn't look at the reasons behind the lack of physical activity in various nations,Guthold guessed that urbanization (城市化) could be a factor as well as being able to use cars and TVs.She said schools can help children become more active by having physical education classes and educating students about the importance of exercise.

    (1)What does the underlined word "sedentary" in paragraph 4 mean?

    A.Addicted.
    B.Flexible.
    C.Inactive.
    D.Unhealthy.
    (2)What can we know from the study?

    A.Boys from Uruguay were the most active.
    B.Most girls from India got enough exercise.
    C.Children in Europe get more physical activity.
    D.Boys are more active than girls in every country.
    (3)How does the writer present the findings of the study?

    A.By using quotations and taking examples.
    B.By listing figures and making comparisons.
    C.By asking questions and providing answers.
    D.By presenting facts and drawing conclusions.
    (4)Which of the following factors probably lead to children's lack of physical activity?

    A.Computers and potatoes.
    B.Computers and urbanization.
    C.Urbanization and physical education.
    D.Physical education and homework.

  • 3.As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global,we've watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don't know where to focus their efforts or they haven't understood how to improve these skills on a practical level.In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders,we have found that if you're looking to develop particular EI strengths,it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve,and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
       The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you); (1)
    .For example,most of us think that we're good listeners,but very often that's really not the case.Without this external reality check,it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance.Getting feedback from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behaviour and motivation to do so.
       To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation,you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple facets of EI; (2)
    .Secondly,when you get your feedback from an assessment,let that inform what you want to improve.But also consider what your goals are.When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, (3)
    .Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically motivated to make the effort matters more when changing long-standing habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
       That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the crossroads of the feedback you've gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations; (4)
    as you do the work of strengthening your emotional intelligence.
       Once you've determined which EI skills you want to focus on,identify specific actions that you'll take.If you're working on becoming a better listener,for example,you might decide that when you're conversing with someone you'll take the time to pause,listen to what they have to say,and check that you understand before you reply.Keep it specific;(5)
    .
       By starting to change your routine reactions,you'll be well on your way to figuring out the old habits that aren't serving you well and transforming them into new,improved ones that do.

    A.you're at a huge disadvantage if you're only interested because others said you should be
    B.bearing your goals in mind is so helpful to improve the positive impact of your current EI habits
    C.you should also lake every opportunity to practice the skill you are developing,no matter how small
    D.understanding the impacts of your EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over the long run
    AB.the key is to find one that guarantees no personal information of those giving you feedback will be leaked
    AC.how others see you will to some extent decide how you see others and help you become a good listener
    AD.this is true because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions
