After twelve hours traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to 10 policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police station employed(雇佣) so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian.

三、阅读理解

Modern life is impossible without traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. With a modern airline you can travel in one day to places that it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago.

Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see the countries you are traveling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dinning-cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.

Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large lines and riverboats. You can visit many other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish. Where there is something interesting to see, at a good traveling by car is popular for pleasure trip. And also many people usually take a train or a plane when they are traveling on business.

B

On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents, we visited the Wildlife Park.

The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals and birds. Some are native(当地的) to Australia and can only be found there. There are over 600 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas and crocodiles(鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages(笼子)．We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly(令人想拥抱的). Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir(纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney. The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are really big and scary(吓人的) with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them. There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species(种类) they had.

I saw an old parrot which could “talk”. It made a great impression on me.
