I never thought about the dangers of growing up during the war because I was only six then. My parents were  36  and both were busy with their work at a hospital. I was often left in the care of my grandmother. Grandma gave Aunt Tracy and I the  37  of taking lunch to my grandfather, her estranged (分居的) husband, who lived  38  in an apartment at the other side of the village.

  As usual,  39  we left, Grandma repeated, "There may be war at any time, so stay on the side of the road. Be  40  not to spill (溢出) the food." Aunt Tracy and I  41  the lunch box and hurried to Grandpa’s place.

  "Keep down and take cover!" Tracy cried out as we heard some  42 . As we squatted (蹲) at the roadside, I started to feel  43 . Grandpa preferred his food served  44 . If we couldn’t get there on time, his lunch would turn cold! Not wanting the war to slow us down, I said, "Let’s just run for it!"

  We tried all the ways we could think of to cross the road, but  45  seemed to work. Suddenly Tracy said, "Bullets travel in a straight line, so we can run in a zigzag (之字形)."Taking a deep breath, we set off again and ran wildly back and forth across the road.,  46 we managed to reach Grandpa’s apartment.

  As an adult, I now know what my young mind couldn’t understand then: it’s impossible to go through life without  47 . We may come across difficulties in our life, but we need to be brave, face the problem and carry on.

阅读下面短文回答问题，将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（注意题后的字数要求）。

In the United States, train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes. Most people like traveling by car or by air.

Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001. The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips longer than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle. Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled in a bus. And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train.

Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States. In the past ten years, the number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent. Although the number of passengers has increased, it is still very small now. In countries such as France, Germany, or Japan, more people use trains.

There are several reasons why many people __________________________.

Firstly, Americans love to drive their own cars. On highways, cars can travel as fast as trains. These highways connect all major cities in America．Secondly, many travelers like to be independent. When they use their own cars they can decide when to travel. Thirdly, many buses travel between major cities. Bus travel is less costly than train travel.

In a huge country like the United States, cities are far away from each other. In some cases, travel from one city to another by train may take more than a day. Airplanes can carry passengers over long distances much faster. People who do not want to spend long time traveling by train decide to fly. For these people saving time is the most important thing.
