One day, my father and I were in line to buy tickets for the circus（马戏团）. And a family was standing in front of us. The family had eight children. Their clothes were not expensive but clean．The children talked about the clowns, elephants and other things excitedly. It was their first time to go to the circus.
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly answered, “I want eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets, so I can take my family to the circus.” The ticket lady said the price. The man's wife lowered her head and there was no smile on the man's face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady said the price again. The man didn’t have enough money. How could he tell his eight kids the bad news? My dad put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground．(In fact, we were not rich!) Then my dad said, “Excuse me, sir, this dropped out of your pocket.” The man knew what was going on. He looked into my dad’s eyes, held my dad’s hand in his, and took the $20 bill. “Thank you, sir, thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.” My father and I went back home.

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.
I like travelling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to ,and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cares on the road.
| A．It is safe. |
| B．It takes a little more time. |
| C．You can open the windows. |
| D．You can walk around in the train. |
| A．A bus. | B．A car. |

| A．He thinks it takes a lot of time to go to and get out of the airport. |
