    　　Taking the train is a wonderful way to see America．In the 19th century, train routes appeared from coast to coast, carrying both people and goods Today, a long－distance Amtrak train trip is a different way to experience the United States．

    　　The long－distance Amtrak trains have lots of room．Coach seats have lots of leg room and wide aisles(走廊), sightseeing lounges(休闲室)have large windows, and sleeping areas can provide a good night's rest．On a train trip, there's time to talk, play cards or board games, and read to one another．On a car trip, parents have to drive while on a train, parents can sit back and watch the scenery go by．Unlike an airplane, traveling by train is not the quickest way to arrive at your destination;the train is the destination in itself．

    　　Amtrak manages long－distance trains that run through the United States．Routes have different names, such as Empire Builder, California Zephyr, Sunset Limited and Southwest Chief．The long－distance trains have double－decker cars(Superliners), sightseeing lounges, and a real dining car．On shorter trains, such as from New York to Washington．DC, the cars are single level and only have a snack bar．In the Superliner trains, the sightseeing lounge is lined with windows on the second level while on the lower level a snack bar and tables can be found．In the evening, videos are shown in the lounge car－either entertaining movies or documentaries．

    　　Tip：As delays are common on Amtrak trains, always call the station before you go there．Otherwise, you may be cooling your heels(脚后跟)for hours．

    阅读下面短文，从每题所给四个选项中选出最佳答案。

    　　Crossroads International

    　　How does Crossroads work?

    　　Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn't want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that：a Crossroads between need and resource.

    　　Who do we help?

    　　The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(预算). They are grass－root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can't get the job done without back－up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.

    　　How do we operate?

    　　Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated(捐赠). Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full－time staff work on a voluntary basis.

    　　Those that donate goods and services:

    　　●Factories

    　　●Manufacturers

    　　●Hospitals

    　　●Hotels

    　　●Educational Institutions

    　　●Householders

    　　●Transport Companies

    　　●Offices

    　　●Other Charities

    　　One resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.

    What can I do?

    　　We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks. If you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories, some of the time. You are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate(提供) them.

    　　●Clothing categorization

    　　●Sewing

    　　●Toy categorization

    　　●Furniture handling

    　　●Book categorization

    　　●Driving

    　　●Household goods categorization

    　　●Office work

    　　●Electrical goods categorization

    　　●Book keeping

    　　●Stationery categorization

    　　●Fund－raising

    　　●Medical categorization

    　　Where to find us

    　　All volunteer work is done at our warehouse:

    　　Located in Basement Zone M of the Kai Tak Government Building. Our warehouse hours :

    　　Tues－Sat.: l0am－5 : 30pm

    　　Postal Address：16Man Tong, Silvermine Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong

    　　Office details：Ph：2984 9309, 2740 9657 Fax：2984 7452

    　　Email：106122. 2524 @ compuserve. Com

    　　However, there is another side to Andy Lau．There is an important part of his life that only a few people know about．Andy Lau helps 15 children from poor countries all over the world．These boys and girls live in 11 different countries．Most of the children have not met him and none of them know that he is one of the biggest stars in Asia．

    　　Andy Lau's interest in children started when he did some work with World Vision．This is a charity that helps poor children to lead better lives．For ＄200 a month, a sponsor helps with the food and education of one child．

    　　When Andy Lau heard about these children, he wanted to help them．"It was not anything special," he said．"Until I had the chance to go to Indonesia and meet the little girl I am sponsoring, I didn't know anything about the type of life she had．"

    　　He said the meeting with Nina in Indonesia was very emotional．"When I met her, I felt very, very happy," he said．"I saw that the money was used for a very good purpose．It brought me closer to the child in a way that simply giving money cannot．"

    　　By sponsoring these children through a charitable organization, Andy Lau is giving them hope and at the same time caring for them．"I want to do whatever I can．I will continue to help these children in need," he said．
