Gas is expensive, and driving is tiring. When you go by air, you have to drive out of town to an airport and wait a long time for your plane. But trains go from one city centre to another. American trains are very modern and comfortable. Some have restaurants and bars, some have bedrooms. Trains that go through beautiful parts of the country sometimes have glass roofs. You can look all round and enjoy the wonderful forests and mountains. But there are problems too. Many trains are old. They break down or arrive late. Stations are not always clean and friendly places. It's the same all over the world. If you pay to go on the best trains, you get the best. If you travel cheaply, you must expect the worst. 36.

He also wanted to get a more important position(職務) so that he could get more money, and perhaps also do more interesting work, so he put an advertisement in several newspapers, saying what experience he had had, describing the kind of job he had at that time and the kind he would like to have. One of the answers he received was from another man who was looking for a job too. This man wrote to him, sir, when you get a new job, please be kind enough to give my name and address to your present boss, as I have been trying to find a position like yours for a long time. 41 Mr. Andrews wanted to leave his present job because__________.

And the kind of people I look for to fill top management positions are the eager doers. These are the guys who try to do more than they’re expected to. They’re always reaching. And reaching out for the people they work with, trying to help them do their jobs better. That’s the way they’re built. Then there are the other guys, the nine-to-five gang. They just want to get along and be told what to do. They say, “ I don’t want to be in the rat race. It might affect my heartbeat.” Just because you get involved and excited and really tear into things. It doesn’t mean you’ll die of hypertension next week! So I try to look for people with that drive. You don’t need many. With twenty-five of these guys, I could run the government of the United States. People say to me, “You’re a success. How did you do it?” I go back to what my parents taught me. Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something! Don’t just stand there, make something happen. It isn’t easy, but if you keep your nose to the grind-stone and work at it, it’s amazing how in a free society you can become as great as you want to be. And, of course, also be grateful for whatever blessings God bestows (給予) on you. 46.

It is also written in short paragraphs. The first paragraph is a summary (概述) of the news item. It gives all the necessary information: what, when, where, how and why.
