  Look! There are thousands of people waiting to buy tickets home in the railway station．Each time when Spring Festival comes，buying tickets of train trip would be very hard．And things seem to be getting worse and worse，although we have greatly increased the mileage(總里程) of railway network and speeded up trains．Why? It’s because too many people want to go back home to spend Spring Festival with their family．Many people become angry with the Ministry(部)of Railways．They wonder why it is hopeless for them to get the tickets from the railway station．Instead，they sometimes can only buy them from ticket scalpers at much higher price．
The Ministry of Railways estimated(估計) that about 216 million passengers would travel by train during the 40-day peak period(高峰期) during the 2010 Spring Festival holiday．The number of travelers will be 8％higher than that of 2009．This problem even attracted the President Hu Jintao’s attention．He wrote a note to Liu Zhijun，Minister of the Ministry of Railways，asking him to make sure of a “smooth and safe” transportation．Afterwards，officials from the Ministry of Railways said they would try their best not to let any ticket-buyers spend Spring Festival at the railway station．

We can’t live without love and we know what love is, but we don’t say only humans know what love is. Yes, it’s impossible for animals to do some things because of their physical body. However, sometimes some of them might be able to show us the love that we have forgotten on our “busy road”, just like the following story.
A dog, was knocked down by a car and died in the middle of the road. Later, another dog ran beside the body of the dead dog and he tried to wake his friend up using his legs. When his effort to wake up his friend failed, he tried to push his friend to the roadside. But his friend was too heavy for him to push.
Though traffic was busy and dangerous, he wouldn’t want to go away from his friend, just standing beside his friend shouting and crying.

I do not need a calendar to tell me when it is winter. All I need is my nose. When I wake up in the morning and smell the tasty treats my mom is cooking downstairs, I know winter has arrived.
The first one is the smell of chocolate. During the holiday season (from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day) my mother makes her special hot chocolate. She always adds a peppermint candy cane (薄荷味拐棍糖) to the drink and tops it with cream.
The hot chocolate gets me out of bed, but it is my mother’s chocolate fudge (軟糕) that makes me run downstairs. It is a thick chunk (塊) of chocolate that tastes like heaven. My mother adds nuts. That gives it more texture (質(zhì)感).
But my mother isn’t done yet. She also makes a treat she calls “window panes (窗玻璃)”. She takes a few different colored marshmallows (棉花糖) and melts them together with chocolate. The final product looks like a colorful church window, so we call it “window panes”.
These tasty holiday treats are usually eaten after a meal as a dessert. But don’t tell Santa Claus because I secretly eat them all day long.
【小題1】What wakes “me” up in the morning?

Do you learn from your mistakes? I hope so. But have you ever made the same mistake twice? I have. Sometimes I make the same mistake three or four times!
Sometimes, good things happen because of mistakes. Once I got on the wrong train. That was a big mistake. But on that train, I saw a good friend. I was so happy I made that mistake!
Another time I ruined a surprise. My mother planned a surprise party for my father. She told me it was a secret. But I was just a little boy and I couldn’t keep the secret. I told my father about the party. At first, my mother was mad at me. But then my father said he was happy he knew about it. He said he didn’t like surprise.
When a good thing comes out of a mistake, that’s a happy accident.
【小題1】The boy saw ___ on the wrong train.
