Here are some things that you need to keep in mind.Train travel is fast and direct between major cities, especially in countries with high-speed trains. Its relatively easy to book a train trip. In many countries, you can book your tickets online or go to a train station to buy them. For single or couple travelers, traveling by train can be much less expensive than renting a car, especially when you consider the cost of fuel and tolls (通行费).However, train schedules may not match your preferred travel times and days, so you might have to change your trip. This is especially true for long-distance train travel in the US. You may have to get off the train at midnight in a small station in an empty town in order to make a train connection.You need to bring your own food and drink onto the train as the food and drink served on trains can be expensive. Conditions on the train may be crowded, dirty or uncomfortable, especially at busy travel times or in developing countries. In the end, youll need to do some research on train ticket prices, check schedules against your own plan and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of train travel against your personal preferences.14.

And now it might be harder for parents to refuse their requests, as a new study shows that young adults who care for an animal have stronger social relationships. American scientists also found that looking after a pet might also help teenagers develop better social skills.Animals can have positive effects on children. but little is known about the benefits that caring for animals every day can bring to young people. “The young teenagers in the study who cared for pets felt more connected to other people,” said Dr. Megan Mueller, a professor at the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, Massachusetts. Dr. Mueller surveyed more than 500 young people aged between 18 and 26 about their attitudes towards animals. Their responses were used to measure their positive youth development characteristics such as caring, confidence and connection, as well as feelings of depression. The study found that young adults who cared for animals helped their friends or family more and showed stronger leadership qualities than those who did not look after a pet. The more actively they took part in the pets care, the higher they scored on their sociable deeds.“We cant draw causal links with this study, but it is a good starting point to better understand the role of animals in our lives, especially when we are young,” said Dr. Mueller. To further develop the research, scientists need to look at how specific features of human experiences are connected with animal experiences, as well as how these relationships develop over time, and look at a larger number of people.17. If teenagers look after pets, they will probably _.A. Score highly at school. B. Develop better social skills.C. Become leaders in the future. D. Have only positive characteristics.18. What does Dr. Mueller mean in Paragraph 2?A. Children should love pets.B. Little is known about pets.C. Childrens growth is connected with pets.D. Pets can benefit children.19. What will scientists probably do to further the study?A. To study more people. B. To communicate with animals.C. To care for more animals. D. To measure youth development characteristics.20. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A scientific journal. B. A health magazine.C. A storybook. D. An education program.第二节（共5题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Care for HouseplantsPlace houseplants in good light_21_.
