Are you interested in trains Have you ever thought about the work people do on the railways It isn't easy. All the trains have to be clean, the engineers (工程师) need to check to see if everything is working, someone needs to sell the tickets, and the trains must leave and arrive on time. And, most importantly — the trains must be safe.
Almost everywhere in the world, the staff members ( 职工) on the railways are adults (成年人). But in Budapest, Hungary, there is a special railway. Most staff members who work there are children. The name of the railway is Children's Railway.
Children's Railway first opened to passengers (乘客) in 1948. And it is still taking passengers on journeys through the hills in the west of the city. The train drivers and engineers are adults, but all the other staff members, from the ticket sellers to the station managers, are children between 10 and 14 years old. The children are all volunteers (志愿者), which means they don't get paid. Every year, lots of children want to work on the railway, but not all of them can get a job there. Anyone who doesn't get good marks at school can't get a job on the railway. The children who get jobs have two days off from school every month to work on the railway.
The trains of Children's Railway aren't toys or models. They are an important part of the railway system in Budapest. Each year over 300,000 passengers take the trains to get to work, visit friends or just to see how well the children do their jobs!

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。
The second Sunday in May is a volunteer day in my neighbourhood (街区). Last year, my neighbours and I chose to volunteer in the cancer ward (癌症病房) at the Royal Children's Hospital. As Children's Day was coming, the hospital wanted us to make some cards with children, tell them stories and play games with them, etc.
The day before we went to the hospital, many of us were feeling quite nervous. We didn't know how we would react (反应) when seeing those sick (生病的) children. As we were preparing morning tea for them, I asked some neighbours to make chocolate bread, fruit juice and candies at my home.
We arrived early at the hospital and were greeted (打招呼) warmly by the staff — it was encouraging to know that they were welcoming us and the brightness we would offer. Our first job was to offer morning tea to the children who were waiting to see doctors — it seemed that nothing broke the ice better than candies! It was then time to start making cards — we brought crayons, glue and shiny things to excite the children!
Soon we felt relaxed about being with the sick children. We talked with them and helped them choose colours. Although they were seriously ill, they were positive (积极的). Most of them chose to use bright colours as they believed they would be better soon. For a time, we even forgot they were ill.
We left the hospital when it was dark. Although we were tired, we were happy to see smiles on those children's faces.
1. The writer went to the hospital with his _______________.
2. The writer felt _______________ the night before he went to the hospital.

Dear Mike,
How's it going I'm very glad to introduce my favourite festival to you.
My favourite festival is the Spring Festival. It falls on the first day of the first lunar month. On the eve, we put up spring festival couplets during the day. We have a family get-together. We eat a big dinner, enjoy the Spring Festival Gala and stay up late to welcome the new year. On the first day of the festival, children put on their new clothes, pay a New Year call to their families and get lucky money.
I like the festival best because it's a time for the family to get together and it's the beginning of a new year.
What do you think of the festival Please write to me.
Yours,
Li Hua
