| [00:05.840] | --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below. |
| [00:11.520] | --- Which type of transport does the writer prefer, do you think? |
| [00:18.000] | People travelling long distances frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. |
| [00:26.920] | Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. |
| [00:32.440] | Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy. |
| [00:35.800] | It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. |
| [00:39.600] | Reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls you to sleep. |
| [00:48.600] | During the day, sleep comes in snatches. |
| [00:52.000] | At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you rarely manage to do so. |
| [00:57.600] | If you are lucky enough to get a sleeper, you spend half the night staring at the small blue light in the ceiling, |
| [01:04.360] | or fumbling to find your ticket for inspection. |
| [01:07.480] | Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted. |
| [01:12.680] | Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read. |
| [01:18.960] | On motorways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, |
| [01:23.720] | but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on roads with few service stations and too much traffic. |
| [01:32.080] | By comparison, ferry trips or cruises offer a great variety of civilized comforts. |
| [01:38.960] | You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, meet interesting people and enjoy good food -- always assuming,of course, that the sea is calm. |
| [01:50.880] | If it is not, and you are likely to get seasick, no form of transport could be worse. |
| [01:57.880] | Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. |
| [02:03.640] | Relatively few people are prepared to sacrifice holiday time for the pleasure of travlling by sea. |
| [02:11.480] | Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous and even hardened travellers are intimidated by them. |
| [02:19.000] | They also have the disadvantage of being an expensive form of transport. |
| [02:24.360] | But nothing can match them for speed and comfort. |
| [02:28.240] | Travelling at a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience.^腾云驾雾，在30，000 英尺高空以500英里的时速旅行，这种经历令人心旷神怡。 |
| [02:38.240] | You do not have to devise ways of taking your mind off the journey, for an aeroplane gets you to your destination rapidly. |
| [02:46.600] | For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. |
| [02:52.200] | The real escapist can watch a film and sip champagne on some services. |
| [02:57.640] | But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep you occupied. |
| [03:03.560] | An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world. |
| [03:08.800] | You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. |
| [03:13.640] | You really see the shape of the land. |
| [03:16.320] | If the landscape is hidden from view, |
| [03:18.840] | you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. |
| [03:29.440] | The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. |
| [03:35.520] | However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain: you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpled. |
| [03:44.640] | You will not have to spend the next few days recovering from a long and arduous journey. |
