Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but people can see the country when they are traveling through．Modern trains have comfortable seats and dinning-cars．They make even the longest journey（旅途） enjoyable．

A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to drop these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.
First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.
小题1:From the first paragraph we know that      .

A．people always fail to break bad habits

B．we must change all the habits we have

C．a habit is a terrible thing we can never change

D．it’s difficult, but we should do something about bad habits

小题2:The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that      .

A．it is not easy to give up bad habits	B．there is a long way and a short way
C．something dangerous may happen	D．we must cut bad habits in a short time

小题3: According to the passage, if you want to drop your habits, you have to      .

A．talk to others when you are in low spirits	B．know why you do what you do
C．finish your homework first	D．spend less time on the Internet

小题4:. The main purpose of this passage is to ask us       .

A．not to shout at people when we are sad	B．not to spend much time on the Internet
C．to give up our bad habits	D．to decide what to choose

There is a special kind of hotel in Quebec, Canada. It has a bar, a church, a shop and a small theater. These things are not unusual. But this hotel is only open from January till March every year.

Everything in the Ice Hotel is made of ice and snow. All the furniture, such as the tables and chairs, is made of ice. Even the beds are made of ice! So people use special sleeping bags on the ice beds. Inside the ice hotel, the temperature is about 27°F(-3°C)
When people sleep, the sleeping bags keep them warm. In the morning, they can have a hot breakfast. After breakfast, people can enjoy winter activities. They can go skiing or ice fishing. Or they can go skating in the dining room. At the end of the day, people can relax at the bar. They can have drinks in glasses made of ice.
