My holiday is coming． Yesterday I asked my friends about the best way to travel in the USA． They said the best way was to go by bus and told me the reasons．
To fly， of course， is the fastest way， but you can't see anything during your stay in the air but the blue sky and white clouds． So it's not very interesting to you． And the cost is very high．
To travel by train is relaxing， because you can walk and buy food and drinks on it． You can also see cities and the countryside through the windows． But sometimes it's crowded on the train． And it's hard to buy train tickets during holidays．
To travel by bus is easy， cheap and convenient， though not so fast as travelling by plane or so comfortable as by train． You can find buses almost in every city， big or small． That makes travel easy．
I took their advice． So I decided to take a bus to the south coast for an interesting trip．
（1）How many ways to travel are mentioned in the passage？
A． Two．
B． Three．
C． Four．
D． Five．
（2）To travel by train is relaxing because ．
A． you can buy food and drinks on it
B． you can walk everywhere on it
C． You can buy tickets easily
D． you can talk loudly on it
（3）At last the writer decided to travel to the USA for the interesting trip．
A． by air
B． by train
C． by bus
D． by ship
（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？
A． You can't see anything during your stay in the air．
B． The fastest way to travel is by plane．
C． You can enjoy beautiful sights（风景）through the windows by train．
D． Travelling by bus is not so comfortable as by train．

Do you ever wish you were as thin as a model（模特） or as strong as your favourite football player？ Maybe you wish you were taller or just thinner a little． Those thoughts are a natural part of growing up．
But learning what you can and can't change about your body is part of growing up， too． It can be hard to do． But when people accept the way they look， they often feel happier．
Some children worry that they're not growing and developing as fast as their friends． It's important to know that puberty（青春期） doesn't happen at the same time for every child． And there are no special medicines that can make it happen sooner!
Eating healthy foods and exercising more can make all children feel better． Why？ Because they will help you feel energetic （精力充沛的） and keep your body working just the way it should be．
Watching TV and playing computer games can be fun， but they don't do much for your body because you sit when you do them．
But when you move your body﹣by playing， dancing， taking part in sports， or even cleaning your room﹣you exercise your muscles（肌肉）． When you exercise the muscle， it gets stronger． And when you have strong muscles， you can do whatever you want to do!

（1）When do people often feel happier about their bodies according to the passage？
