There are, in fact, not many railroad stations left in the USA, although the track is still being used, since most of America's freight is still carried by train. As for passengers, these is a vast network of airlines and airports in easy reach of almost every American town. Airports, now the travel centers of the USA, are comfortable places with coffee shops and bars and clean restrooms.Flying in America is less expensive than in many other countries, because the government subsidized (补助)air fares. Yet the different airlines are not state-owned and compete with one another for passengers.Those who cannot afford either train or plane take the Greyhound bus.

Like most skills. It improves with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won't make friends staying home alone .In a group, talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity.Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown. And it's human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.Most of our fears about dealing with new people comes from doubts about ourselves . We imagine other people are judging us finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don't forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease.Try to act self-confident even if you don' t feel that way when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly at other people and smile. If you see someone you' d like to speak to. Don't wait for the other person to start a conversation.Ww 》》》( 一)Was hoe is a young chimpanzee. She is no 1 special chimpanzee, though.
