Famous Train Stations
A relaxing way of getting around is to travel by train. Many train stations have grown into impressive structures over the years and are famous for their architecture. Here's a look at two of them.
Paddington Station
Location: London, England.
Built: 1854, but the train stop has existed there since 1838.
Famous for: Paddington Bear.
Paddington was originally a stop for the Great Western Railway. This took people on holiday to resorts in southwest England. The main station was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, a famous engineer.
Paddington Bear is a famous children's story character. He got his name from this station. There is a small tourist shop in the station that sells Paddington Bear souvenirs. The station has appeared in films and fiction. In fact, the mystery writer Agatha Christie wrote a book named 4.50 from Paddington. There was also a gangster film that featured the station called The Long Good Friday.
Grand Central Station
Location: New York City, the United States.
Built：1871.
Famous for: Having the most platforms in the world.
There are forty-four platforms in Grand Central Station, and there will be forty-eight once a new Manhattan East access line is finished.
There have been a number of films with scenes from Grand Central Station. Scenes from Superman take place in the station, but are actually filmed in London. The scene in North by Northwest(1959) was filmed at night inside the real Grand Central Station. Another film with scenes from Grand Central Station is The Untouchables(1987)．
The station is home to over 100 businesses and transports 125，000 commuters per day. If you ever visit Grand Central, you will be one of 500，000 daily visitors.

(2019·惠州市第二次调研)I realized something this morning. I have been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy I had read literally hundreds of books. I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer tells you once the ideas awaken inside of you they won't leave you alone until you write them down. I didn't have a computer，word processor，or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.
When I was done I didn't know how to share it. There was no Internet back then，no smart phones，and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self-published two collections of my stories in book form.
Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lie in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well. I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold，and with everything we do，we are writing our own life story.
Lance Wubbels once wrote：“I hope you realize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day，line by line，write it well.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己从热爱阅读到成为一名作家的经历。从这个过程中，作者认识到了写作的意义，并感悟到人生就像写作，每个人都要用心书写自己的人生故事。
4．As a boy, when the author found he had something to share, ．
A．he wrote it down
B．he ignored it
C．he shared it on social media
D．he told it to a writer

(2019·兰州市高三诊断)When I was a kid, my parents sent me to a summer camp in New Hampshire. At the camp we did tons of great things like swimming, sports and archery(射箭), but for me, the most memorable 1 was an overnight trip of mountain climbing. If you've ever 2 a mountain, you know it's a physical challenge, 3 when you're carrying your food and shelter on your back. When campers got 4 ， they certainly started complaining.
“How much farther is it？”
“I can't go any further.”

The kids simply weren't used to the physical challenge. Once they realized they weren't getting any sympathy they 9 the discomfort, and in most cases ended up having a great time. In my camp days, I don't 10 a single camper complaining at the top of the mountain.
There are two ways to deal with an 11 situation. You can complain, or you can make the best of it.

It's much more likely that your complaining will cause the 13 of those around you. No one likes a complainer. They're annoying and they hurt the group. Complaining makes life 14 for everyone. Instead, if you determine to master your own suffering, to move past it and focus on a 15 ， it's my experience that you'll realize it wasn't bad in the first place.
