Literature is a word used to describe written as well as spoken material. Generally speaking, it is often used to describe anything from creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama and fiction.
Then why read literature, since it is often imaginary and seems unconnected with real life?
A lot of us read literature for enjoyment and relaxation. It’s always pleasant to read some interesting books in our spare time. In a modern life full of stress, it is our common wish to read some imaginary works and look for relaxation from the stress in life.
Reading literature is more than fun; it also allows us to get knowledge. As a general rule, literature represents a language of a people, and it often gives us an insight(洞察力) into the traditions, attitudes and values of the age in which it was written.
Sometimes literature can even offer us new, creative ways to have a better understanding of the world. It introduces us to new worlds of experiences. We enjoy the comedy and the tragedy of poems, stories and plays; and we may even grow through our literary journey with books. At last we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the writer says and how he or she says it. In some ways, we explore the human condition and analyze(分析) the way they think and feel the way they feel. Literature helps us think clearly and encourages us to open minds.
So we can certainly say literature is of great importance to us. Why not get going with one poem, drama or fiction at once?

The most common form of public transportation is the bus. They provide transportation service in cities and towns even to countryside around the city. Also, special buses can be chartered (包租) for trips to mountains to lakes, and to nearby places of interest. But usually they can't run as fast as you want.
Undergrounds are mostly found in larger cities, such as New York, London, Beijing and so on. The underground is a underground system of high-speed trains. The world's first system was built in London. Underground trains move more quickly than buses. They, too, are cheap and help solve city traffic problems. But they are often crowed and noisy.
Taxis are more expensive than buses or underground trains, but they will drive you to the place you want in the shortest time possibly. Taxis are suitable if you are in a hurry or if you are taking a number of handbags or packages.
If you ever visit a big city in another country, you will probably have no trouble getting around. Like many people, of course, transportation will be your own two legs!
