Jim Green is from London. He is now in Beijing. He visited many interesting places in Beijing, but he was too busy to visit other parts of China before. He had a (旅行) to Mount Emei in Sichuan with his (同学) last week.

    Jim thinks that travelling by train is the best (选择). It doesn't(花费) much and it is far more (令人愉快的) than taking a plane. They had a wonderful train ride to Chengdu before they went on to Mount Emei by bus.

    The train was quite nice and tidy, and it wasn't (拥挤的) in their sleeping car.

    They could stand up and walk (到处). It was a long way, but (没人) of them felt tired. They kept watching the beautiful things through the window. They talked, laughed and played cards. The conductor(列车员) kept coming to give them hot water and selling them newspapers. People (附近) talked with each other. A young man tried to speak with him in English. Jim thought the train was like a big moving party. He went to sleep late. He enjoyed listening to the sound of the running train and then fell(睡着的).
