24、nly way to cool ourselves down. Across his farm and through some woods was a deep swimming hole supplied by several cold springs.The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean Hereford bull(公牛). Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie, the animals name, was the meanest bull

25、in town, maybe even the county, and we believed in him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was reason to doubt about what he said.

26、ing permission for us to walk through the farm, and Mr. Blickez finally agreed.On our way across the farm, we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole. The sun shone brightly across the cool waters. We couldnt wait to get there. Suddenly, Walt shouted loudly. Elsie had run to him and was lic

32、l, doesnt it? But its not that unrealistic, with the development of Chinas high-speed railway system.

33、ountries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore. If Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could rush from London to Beijing within two days.
