My name is Alice Thompson.I come from Sydney,Australia and I’m 18 years old.Recently I had my first ride on a long-distance train.And what a ride! A friend and I traveled on the famous Chan train. We got on in Sydney and______ in Alice Springs,right in the middle of Australia.

The train was wonderful and the food was great.We ate great meals cooked by experts! For the first few hundred kilometers of the journey,the scenery was very colorful.After that,It was desert.The sun shone,there was no wind and there were no clouds in the sky.Suddenly,it looked like a place from another time.   

The train was comfortable and the people were nice.During the day,I sat and looked out of the window',and sometimes talked to other passengers.I read books and listened to my Chinese cassettes (I’m studying Chinese at school).One night,at about midnight,I watched the night sky for lot about an hour.The stars shone like diamonds.

Why is the train called the Chan? A long time ago,Australians needed a way to travel to the middle of the country.They tried riding horses,but the horses didn’t like the hot weather and sand.A hundred and fifty years ago,they brought some camels from Afghanistan.Chan is short for Afghanistan.Camels were much better than horses for traveling a long distance.For many years,trained camels carried food and other supplies,and returned with wool and other products.

Then the movement built a new railway line,so they didn’t need the camels any more.In 1925,they passed a law which allowed people to shoot the animals if they were a problem.I 1935,the police in a town shot 153 camels in one day.   

1.What’s the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words)

2.Which sentence in the passage call be replaced by the following one?

When we traveled for the first few hundred kilometers of the journey,the view was very beautiful.

3.Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within lo words)   

4.What do you think of camels as transportation in the past?

5.Translate the underlined sentence in the passage into Chinese.

2.For the first few hundred kilometers of the journey,the scenery was very colorful.
