Look! There are thousands of people waiting to buy tickets home in the railway station．Each time when Spring Festival comes，buying tickets of train trip would be very hard．And things seem to be getting worse and worse，although we have greatly increased the mileage(总里程) of railway network and speeded up trains．Why? It’s because too many people want to go back home to spend Spring Festival with their family．Many people become angry with the Ministry(部)of Railways．They wonder why it is hopeless for them to get the tickets from the railway station．Instead，they sometimes can only buy them from ticket scalpers at much higher price．
The Ministry of Railways estimated(估计) that about 216 million passengers would travel by train during the 40-day peak period(高峰期) during the 2010 Spring Festival holiday．The number of travelers will be 8％higher than that of 2009．This problem even attracted the President Hu Jintao’s attention．He wrote a note to Liu Zhijun，Minister of the Ministry of Railways，asking him to make sure of a “smooth and safe” transportation．Afterwards，officials from the Ministry of Railways said they would try their best not to let any ticket-buyers spend Spring Festival at the railway station．

Dear Nancy,
You asked about places to go and things to do in our town. The Downtown Mall is always 51 . It’s a 52 place in the oldest part of town. There are some good stores and restaurants there. 53 , Trendy Clothing Store is in Downtown Mall. It’s a fun place to shop, and it has the 54 quality clothes. The shop assistants are friendly 55 people. My favorite 56 in town is Nick’s Restaurant. It is close to my house. It’s cheap and the hamburgers there are great. I like Dragon City Restaurant, 57 . You can eat wonderful noodles there and the beef noodles are the most delicious! You must try the dumplings there, too. But it’s more expensive than Nick’s. The Big Cinema is the best cinema in town. It has the biggest screen and the most 58 seats. The Del Ray Complex is also a good place to see movies. It doesn’t have the 59 movies, but the tickets are the cheapest.
Anyway, there are lots of things to do and to see here. Come for a 60 soon!
Love,
Kate

One morning, Wu Liang discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows, but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). ‘Now our class is quieter,’ said Wu Liang. ‘What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.’
Li Yu liked it, too. He said, ‘Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.’ It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. ‘Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,’ said Zhang Ming, an English teacher.
However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.
‘The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,’ added Zhang Ming.
小题1:After the new classroom arrangement, it was easier for Wu Liang and her classmates to _____________ in class.| A．discuss with each other | B．sit in the classroom | | C．push desks together | D．teach a lesson |
