Tibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists. The number of travelers to Tibet has grown by 10% every year for a few years. Since July 1,2006, when the first train ran 1956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.

The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and the Potala Palace. Passengers can also enjoy many activities during the journey, like Tibetan dancing and Karaoke.

On the train, passengers can have tea, eggs and noodles for breakfast, and fried chicken and green vegetables for lunch and dinner. Unlike most Chinese trains which have open – hole toilets, this one has special toilets which can collect the waste. There is also a special rubbish system (系統(tǒng)) in the train that keeps the environment clean. All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight. TV and electrical sockets (插座) for computers and mobile phones can be found on the train.

Because there isn’t much oxygen there, trains will have oxygen masks (氧氣罩) for those who need them. It makes passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous “roof of the world”. There are also doctors on the train to make sure that all of the travelers are safe.

It’s the end of class.When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their telephones.They want to log on to their micro blogs (登錄到他們的微博) to check the interesting things.They want to see what have happened in the last hour.
Since several years ago, more and more people have used micro blogs in our country.Recent surveys (調(diào)查) shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update (更新) their blogs over five times per day.
“We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class,” said Kitty Jiang, 14.“If you do not know about them, you are out of loop.” It is also a great place for students to say something about themselves.“My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but it really gives me pressure (壓力),” said Alan Wang, 15.“I share these feelings on my micro blog.My friends always give me answers in the same situation.This makes me feel better.”
But parents worry that micro blogging could be a waste of time.Some unhealthy information may even bring danger to kids, they said.
Mr Shen, a professor (教授) asks parents not to worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging.Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children.“If parents can read their children’s micro blogs, they’ll know what they think, they can know more about their children and help them solve their problems,” he said.He also gives some advice for kids.
-Don’t micro blog for more than one hour a day.
-Never micro blog in class.
-Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.
-Don’t believe all the information on a micro blog.
【小題1】According to the passage, what do students log on to their micro blogs to do?
