Many people like to travel by 34 , but the Greens think that travelling by train is the best. It is much 35 and far more enjoyable than a rushed journey by air. They had a won­derful train ride to Chengdu 36  they went on to Mount Emei by bus.
The train was quite nice and tidy, and there weren’t too many people in 37  sleeping car. The Greens could stand up and 38 around. It was a long journey, 39  none of them felt tired. They kept 40  the beautiful things out of the window. They talked, laughed and played cards. The conductor kept coming to give them hot water and 41  them newspapers. People nearby 42 with each other. A young man tried to speak English with Mr and Mrs Green. Jim thought the train was like a big moving party. He went to sleep quite 43 . He enjoyed listening to the sound of the running train and then fell asleep.
When Jim woke up the next morning, the train was already 44 Chengdu. His train ride seemed really 45 , but his memory (记忆) of the pleasant journey will last long.

Mr. and Mrs. Green were very worried about their son, Leo. He seemed to be dumb (哑的)   51 he was normal in every other way. Mr. and Mrs. Green tried everything to get him to 52 , but with no success.

     When Leo was six years old, the best doctors in the town 53 him carefully, but could find nothing wrong. And he seemed to be smart. It was just that he 54 spoke.

     "There might be something wrong with his 55 , and he doesn't know he's able to speak," one doctor said.

     "But he can read and write," said Mr. Green. "We've written him notes, telling him that he can speak."

     "It's certainly very 56 ," another doctor said. "Perhaps he'll be able to speak some day."

      57 passed. Leo went to university. But he did not speak a 58 word.

     Then one day, Leo was having a meal with his parents. Without any warning, he looked up from his 59 and said, "Pass me the salt, please."

     Mr. and Mrs. Green were excited. "You spoke! You spoke!" they cried, "Why have you   60 so long to speak?"

     "I didn't have anything to say," he said. "Until now everything was perfect. But you forgot to put salt in these potatoes."

When  people    travel    in  another  city  or   country ,they  sometimes  stay  in  the  homes of the local people.  This is called   homestay  .   It  is    a  great  experience  because  you  can  meet  people    from   a  different  country   or  city  and  learn  something  new  about   that  place   .                                                                                       I  am  Wan  Li  from  China.  I came  to  the  UK   with  my  friends  for  a  short   visit  .    we   are  living   with  an English  couple   ,Mr.   and  Mrs.Green  ,in  the  west   of    London.    They   have    a    wonderful      four –bedroom  house   .     This   is  a new   house  .  It   has    two   bathrooms     and  a   garden    with  many    beautiful    flowers.   I   have   a   bedroom    of   my   own   .                                                                                     
There  are   some    shopping    centres    and     restaurants     near     the    house,     and   the  house   is  close   to   an     underground  station. It  takes   about  thirty  minutes  to  get  to   the  centre  of  London. 
I  think   a  homestay   may  be   a  good   choice  for  you  if  it  is  your  first  time  to  visit  abroad .  The local  people  are  friendly  and  willing  to  help. If  you  happen  to  celebrate   the  holidays  with  them,  you  will  get  to  know  more  about    western  culture  and  customs.
【小题1】The  underlined  word   homestay   in  the  passage  means_________.
