People who travel long distances will have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea or air.Maybe nobody would say they enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. The train will soon get crowded and dirty. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the joumey. Reading may help you to kill time but soon the clicking on the rails will bring you to sleep. During the day,sleep never lasts long. At night,when you really wish to go to sleep,you find you can hardly manage to do so. If you are lucky to get a sleeping seat,you spend half the night looking at the small blue light over your head,and when you finally arrive at the station,you are so tired that you don't want to leave. Long car joumeys are even less pleasant,for it is impossible even to read. On motorways, you can, at least,travel fairly safely at high speeds,but more often,the greater part of the joumey is spent on narrow,bumpy (崎岖不平的) roads which are crowded with traffic. When travelling by sea,you have a different expe- rience. You can have a walk.on the board, play games, swim,meet interesting people and enjoy good food,and of course,only when the sea is calm. If it is not,you are likely to get seasick (晕船的) , and you will find no joumey can be worse than that. Even if you travel in good weather,sea joumeys take a long time. Few people would like to spend a third of their holidays for the pleasure of travelling on a ship. Travelling by plane seems to be dangerous to some people,and,it is also the most expensive of all travelling forms,though nothing can match planes for speed and comfort(舒服). Flying at a height of 30 000 feet, far above the clouds,and at 500 miles an hour is a very exciting experience. The joumey is so smooth(平稳的 )that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time,one thing is certain:you will arrive at your destination fresh and easy. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering(恢复)from a long and tiring journey. |

Most people who travel from China to the US find that, despite having studied English for years, they have to "re-learn" it1arriving. Words that we learned in English classes are not2the same way here. To truly be part of the "melting pot",3in English is not enough. You need an accent to stand out. When I first came to the US for graduate school, I was a4foreigner. I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was "5". To talk like an American became one of my goals. During my first term as a teaching assistant (TA), my students6they could not understand me. I learned later from a study that this complaint was7among US students with an international TA. It is called the "Oh, no!" syndrome (综合征):"Oh, no! Not another international TA, and not that8again!" So I imitated (模仿) the way9speakers talk and, over time, I made10good progress that American friends started to11my English as having "almost no accent". I took this as a sign of my success. Ever since, people have often12me for someone from many13: the Midwest, the West Coast, China, Japan, South Korea. Most frequently, people think I am from California. But then suddenly, conformity (一致) was14a praise: If I talk like an American, am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent, do I also lose my cultural identity? Am I denying my past by being15into a new culture? Now I16that a person's accent is a permanent record of their past cultural experience and it is a17of one's exposure to diverse cultures. As a fourth-year student in the US, I am no longer a nervous foreigner. My nervousness has been18by a desire to hold on to my cultural19. Now I consciously add some Chinese "accent" when I speak. I do not wish to speak "20" English because I am proud of who I am. | ||||
