Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern plane it takes one day to travel places which took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.
Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages（优势）. You can see the country you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large planes and river boats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish --- where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel where you can spend the night. That is why traveling by car is a popular pleasant trip, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.From the passage (短文), we know the fastest way of traveling is ____.

Dear mom,
I’m writing to you from America. You don’t know how happy I am. I made many new friends here. They are very helpful. Last week I got a fever and had to stay in bed for three days. They helped me a lot with my lessons. Cathy is one of my good friends at school. She has a round face with a pair of glasses. She is two months older than I am, but a little shorter . She works hard and is good at all her lessons. She often helps me with my English. We like talking to each other at lunchtime. After school, we always go home together because we live in the same street.
Sometimes we take a dancing lesson for half an hour before we go home. She dances better than any other student. She wants to be a dancer when she grows up. At the weekends, Cathy usually goes swimming. I sometimes go swimming with her. I think it’s a good way to keep healthy. We always have a good time.
Write soon.
Love

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents. However，it is not true. Communication（交流）is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents，don't worry about it. Here is some advice about getting on well with parents.
Don't argue（争辩）with your parents. Don't talk with your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't think over your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off and think about what you want to say to your parents.
Try to reach an agreement. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Sometimes your parents might refuse to accept your reasons for something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values （价值观）. The values of your parents are probably different from yours. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! Is communication a problem only for parents and school children?
How many pieces of advice does the writer give you?
What should you do when your parents refuse to accept your reasons?
Why do you need to talk about your values with your parents?
