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 traveling 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.

八、阅读表达（共 3 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 6 分）
In the past, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought they would be different in many ways — the buildings, the food, the national dresses and so on. At present, however, one large city is similar to another. They all have their Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald's, their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars, usually wearing the same kinds of clothing and watching the same American movies.
Then what is the foreign travel for What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they can not experience at home The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation's history and culture that are the main attractions. Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries' history and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. Tourists try to learn the history and culture of foreign countries by visiting different kinds of museums.
Every country also has its own beautiful places for tourists to visit. Their own special scenery (风景) would certainly attract tourists from other countries.
Finally, there is perhaps a country's attraction: its people. A country is not just its old buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, it's also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people. The tourists come mainly because of the friendliness of the people there. It is why the Pacific islands are also so popular. The friendly, smiling people make visitors feel welcome.

2.How do tourists learn the history and culture of foreign countries （不超过 10 个词）

3.Why does Thailand attract millions of people （不超过 8 个词）

In terms of the living environment, we lived in small houses before. But now, tall buildings can be seen everywhere. The city is getting more and more beautiful.
When it comes to entertainment, I used to play games with my friends in the open air. Now, I can enjoy different kinds of online games and
