When you go on a trip to America, you will see the word Motel on signs and notice boards.It is made up of “motor” and “hotel” and it is really a hotel for people who arrive by car (however, you don’t need a car to stay at one)．You have to pay when you arrive for your room, which usually has a bath.Meals are not provided but there will certainly be a cafeteria (自助餐馆)．Americans eat a lot of salads and sandwiches.Along the main roads there are a lot of motels.Each tries to offer more than the others.Some provide television in every bedroom; others have swimming pools and so on.Motels are especially useful when you are in the country, far from a town or city.You will also find them in big national parks.

In these great national parks, you may meet guests you don’t expect to see.An American friend told me a short story.In the middle of a moonless night, she heard strange noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.Thinking it might be a thief, she jumped out of bed, opened the door and crept towards a dark shadow.As she got close, she saw the thief.She was dreadfully frightened: it wasn’t a human thief — it was a big black bear.The bear was turning over some empty tins with its paws, looking for tasty bits of food.My friend decided

Nicky Haywood, from Nottingham, was found guilty of travelling on an East Midlands train from Nottingham to Newstead without a ticket.

The 27－year－old, who did not appear for his hearing at Nottingham Magistrates Court(地方法庭), is now being made to pay the price—which is almost 200 times the original price—for the 20－minute journey.

According to the Nottingham Post, Magistrates have ordered Haywood to pay a $220 fine, $302 in costs, a $22 government surcharge(追加费用) and the $2.80 fare.

Senior conductor, Yvonne Clay was working on the day of the incident, according to the Nottingham Post.

The newspaper reported that she said Haywood had got on the train without a ticket, though he had the chance to buy one from both vending machines and booking offices on the platform.

She said: “He offered a Solo Electron card but we could not take that on the train.I informed him with a notice to pay.He gave his name and address and had 21 days to pay the fare.”

Even though he was given three weeks to pay the$2.80, a payment from Haywood was not received.
