　　New York is a very large city with 8 million people．How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transport．

　　In New York you can travel about the city by subway, bus, taxi and car．The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city．It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city．Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city．

　　The second way to travel around the city is by public bus．It's a slower way to travel．This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy．

　　You can also travel around the city by taxi．This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the very place you wish to go to．If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow．During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”．This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work．

　　The last way to get around New York is using your own car．However, it's not easy for you to drive, especially when you are driving in the “rush hour”．If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time．

　　The best time to travel around the city is from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m．This is the time after the morning“rush hour”and before the evening“rush hour”．Traffic will be less crowded because most people are already at school or at work．

　　　　Over thirty thousand years ago people from Northern Asia went to 　　America. Today we call these people Indians.

　　　　The Indians went to America because the weather in Northern Asia 　　began to change. Northern Asia became very cold. Everything froze. They had to move or die. How did the first Indians go to America? 　　They walked!

　　　　Later Columbus found the New World in 1642. At first, only a few 　　Europeans followed. They travelled to America in boats. For the next three hundred years, about 5,000,000 people went there.

閱讀理解。
     I have been a friend of Bill Gates for a long time. I knew him when he was a student at Harvard
University. We were surprised when he left University to set up his own company "Microsoft" and make
his own software. But he was the clever one! He is very good at writing computer languages and almost
all computers now use Microsoft software. The program "Word" is used from Britain to China!
     Of course he has made a lot of money and that makes people very jealous. They want to stop his success.
Even the government is against him and has tried to break his company into two parts. The government says
that it is unfair to other people who want to sell similar software. And what's more, because he fits his new
software free in every new computer, the government says he is stopping other companies from selling their
programs. This is not fair. Everyone should be able to do what they can to make their company bigger and
stronger. Bill Gates has only done what he can to stop other competitors.
     He is very rich, but he is generous. He has given millions of dollars to help the education and health of
many children around the world. You could not meet a better man than Bill Gates.
