Unit 12 Moving About

Unit 12 Page 110 Reading Exercise 4 A lot of big cities, like London, have got many traffic problems. Sometimes a journey of a few kilometres can take more than an hour. So what's the best way to get across London? For a very short journey, it's probably a good idea to walk. But what happens when you want to go further? The presenters of a popular TV show about cars decided to find out. Each of the presenters chose a different type of transport to make the same 27-kilometre journey. One presenter went by bike. One went by car. Another chose public transport - the underground and bus - and the last one travelled by speedboat up the River Thames. They all started at the same time and the same place in West London, but who got to City Airport in East London first? The results were a surprise. The bike came first. In second place was the speedboat. Public transport came third and the car was last. So the presenters had an answer. The bike was quicker than all the other types of transport and the car slower. They weren't very happy with the result because they wanted the car to win. They made a joke and said the bike wasn't a real winner because it was more dangerous. But, of course, the bike is the real winner. It's the best way to get about. It's cheaper than public transport and it is healthier than going by car. It's also better for our cities because bikes don't make the air dirty. So next time you need to travel around, think before you and your parents get into the car - 'Can we make this journey by bike?'

第十二单元 第110页阅读练习4 很多大城市，比如伦敦，都有很多交通问题。 有时，几公里的旅程可能需要一个多小时。 那么，穿越伦敦的最佳方式是什么？ 对于短途旅行，步行可能是个好主意。 但如果你想走得更远，会发生什么？ 一个关于汽车的热门电视节目的主持人决定找出答案。 每位演讲者都选择了不同类型的交通工具来完成同样的27公里旅程。 一位演讲者骑自行车去了。一个人开车去了。 另一位选择了公共交通——地铁和公共汽车- 最后一艘乘快艇沿泰晤士河航行。 他们都是在伦敦西部同一时间同一地点开始的， 但是谁先到了东伦敦的城市机场呢？ 结果令人惊讶。自行车先来了。 第二名是快艇。公共交通排在第三位，汽车排在最后。 于是，主持人给出了答案。 自行车比所有其他类型的交通工具都快，汽车慢。 他们对结果不太满意，因为他们希望赛车获胜。 他们开玩笑说，这辆自行车不是真正的赢家，因为它更危险。 当然，自行车才是真正的赢家。这是最好的出行方式。 它比公共交通便宜，比开车更健康。 这对我们的城市来说也更好，因为自行车不会让空气变脏。 所以下次你需要四处旅行时， 在你和你父母上车之前，先想想——‘我们能骑自行车旅行吗？’

It only stops at Clapham Junction and Windsor. You can catch that one. And the one after that? There's one at half past ten. But that's a slower train. It stops at every station. That's OK. I'm not in a hurry and I don't want to run. What time does that one arrive in Windsor? At half past eleven. It takes an hour. And how often are the trains to Windsor? They're every half hour. Great.

It leaves from platform 15. And what platform does it arrive at in Windsor? My friend wants to meet me there. Platform 1 but Windsor is a very small all station - a lot smaller than Waterloo. There are only two platforms at Windsor. OK, then that's not a problem. Thank you. Have a good journey.

Page 114 Reading Exercise 1 MY FAVOURITE JOURNEY We all love going on a journey. Here are some of your favourites. Thank you for sharing them! Adam Posted 5 minutes ago I love boats and my favourite boat journey is the one by ferry across the Danube River. My grandma lives in Budapest. When I visit her, we often go on it together. It's not a long journey - it's only ten minutes. The ferry just takes you across the river to the other side of the city. We don't get off the boat - we just go there and back again. Rose Posted 10 minutes ago I really love steam trains. There's one in Scotland. It goes from Fort William to Mallaig on the west coast, and it's called the Jacobite Steam Train. It's the famous one you see in the Harry Potter films. The one that takes Harry and his classmates to Hogwarts. But that's not why I like it. I like the sound it makes and I like the view from the window. It travels past lakes and mountains and beautiful beaches. Rebecca Posted 40 minutes ago What's my favourite journey? My journey to school. We live in a village and my school is in the next village. Every morning I walk across the fields and then along the river until I'm at school. Its a really beautiful walk. I love looking for birds. There are some lovely ones. And sometimes if I'm lucky, I see a rabbit. I love my walk to school ... but I love the walk home more! Max Posted 50 minutes ago My favourite journey is a very fast bike ride. My grandparents have a house in the mountains. There is a road down the mountain to the town. It goes down very fast, and it goes through a big forest. Every morning, we ride down to the town to get bread. It only takes ten minutes to ride down, but it takes a lot longer to ride back up again!

Page 117 Culture Exercise 2 TRANSPORT AROUND THR WORLD THE AMFIBUS, THE NETHERLANDS The big, blue Amfibus certainly makes a big splash! It's in Rotterdam and it takes people on tours of the city. It's cool. It can travel on land and in the water. It is more expensive than water taxis, but it is more exciting, too. It is slower in the water than on land.

There are 14 places where you can get on and off. The escalators travel down the hill from 6am to 10am so people can travel to work. They travel up the hill from 10am to midnight. THE URBAN CABLE CAR, TURKEY Ankara's cable car is cheaper than other forms of public transport and it is healthier because it doesn't pollute the air.
