Internet users can find hundreds of them. These books are from around the world. And they are free to readers. The United States has started a project called the International Childrens Digital Library. It is supported by the National Science Foundation, the Library of Congress and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.The goal of the project is to offer more than 10,000 childrens electronic books in at least 100 languages. Some of the books show the similarities and differences in ways of life around the world. They will enable children to have a better understanding of other peoples cultures. People working for this project have tried to design easy ways to search the collection and read the books. A picture of each page appears on the computer. Users can also print the pages on paper if they want to.The project is for two main groups of users. The first group is children between the ages of three and thirteen, along with their teachers and parents. The second group is researchers of childrens literature (文学).

If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport. British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. Its much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons. such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train. Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track (轨道). Whats more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and powerplugs (电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phones.( ) 12. The main idea of the passage is that _. A.

Which country is better to study in?”We often hear such discussions. As important, Without, thousands, hot, nearer, why, much, away, Nothing, yearChina opens its door, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They would like to know the world well. Its true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs. But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture. Students must also learn to live without parents care and deal with all kinds of things they havent had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it? We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.Title: Studying at home or study 1 ?Phenomenon（现象）Studying abroad has become a 2 for Chinese students.AdvantagesIt is helpful for Chinese students to 3 themselves.It is helpful for Chinese students to 4 foreign language skills.It enables(使能够) Chinese students to find jobs more 5 . 6 It 7 Chinese students too much time to learn a foreign languag
