“I’m bored,” Spencer said and looked at the rain out of the window.
“Read a book,” said his mom.
“I read all the time at school. I planned to ride bikes with Elton today.”
“Well, this rain won’t stop until (直到……为止) Monday, so you’ll have to find some other ways to spend the weekend,” Mom said with a smile. “You could clean your room.”
“Anything was better than cleaning my room,” thought Spencer. He walked to the garage (车库) and rode his bike in there for a few minutes, but it was not fun at all. For Spencer, the best thing about riding a bike was going to different places and seeing things.
“Hey,” said Elton from the door to the garage.
“Why did you come here?” asked Spencer.
“Your mom called me. She said you were bored. My mom was happy to drive me over because I kept saying I was bored, too.”
“It’s not much fun riding here,” said Spencer.
Elton looked around the garage and said, “Let’s do something new.” He put a set of cones (圆锥形物) all around the garage. “OK, you have to ride through them and you can’t knock any over (撞倒). Oh, and I’ll time you on my watch.”
“All right,” Spencer agreed. It seemed not too boring. He tried and it was harder than he thought it would be. He knocked over two cones.
They kept riding and tried to see who could do it faster. They always knocked over some cones, but that just made them laugh.

Last year I found a job in South France, so I moved to France from the UK. I live in a town called Périgueux, but I work in a small village in the countryside. The only way I can go to work is by train. In the UK, I went to school by train or by bus every day. So I would like to give you my comparisons (比较) of  trains in France and the UK.
I was surprised when I found trains run every two hours in France. This is a real problem because sometimes I have to wait at the station for a long time. In the UK, trains usually leave at least every 30 minutes.
Just like in the UK, the trains sometimes are delayed (延迟) in France. There is nothing else I can do in the village, so I have to wait at the station. Once I had to wait for four hours. I even wanted to cry when the train arrived at last.
Although there are some things I don’t like about trains in France, they have some special good points. I like the uniform that all workers wear in train stations in France. I also find the workers are very friendly and helpful. What’s more, the stations are very large and tidy.
根据材料内容简要回答下列问题。
56. How did the writer go to school in the UK?
________________________________________
57. How often does the train leave in France?
________________________________________
58. Do trains in France always arrive on time?

My dream
Hello, everyone! I’m glad to be here to share my dream with you. I want to be a computer programmer when I grow up. The reason is that I’m interested in programming and I want to write programs to make people’s life easier.
In order to realize my dream, I’m going to study hard at school. I’m also going to read books about successful programmers so that I can learn from them. As the saying goes, “No pains, no gains.” I believe as long as I try my best, my dream will come true some day.
Thank you.
