题目内容
3．The Eurotunnel is a tunnel（隧道） which crosses the Channel under the sea，linking France and the UK．It is about 50.5km long and 38km lies under the seabed．There are trains which carry passengers and cars，and others which carry carriages or other heavier vehicles，as well as goods．The construction of the tunnel started in 1986，with a cost of almost 10 billion pounds．It was opened in 1994but was not financially successful until 2007，because of the interest rates （利率） the company had to pay the banks，as well as low earnings from passengers and goods．
The Eurotunnel is a very convenient way of traveling between the two countries as the journey is quick （less than one hour），cheap，and comfortable．You can go with your car，motorbike or bike．
The tunnel operates every day，round the clock．At the busiest times there are up to three shuttle departures （班次） per hour．There are facilities （设施） for disabled passengers，and for babies at the two terminals （终点站）．
The Eurotunnel，also commonly known as the Channel Tunnel，Eurochannel and Eurochunnel is environmentally friendly．It perfects its sources of energy through its use of renewable energy with the result that，by 2008，it had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions（排量） by 45%．In addition，50% of the waste produced is recycled．
The future of the Eurotunnel seems promising，although there are some people who have the fear of enclosed （与外界隔绝的） spaces and would never use this type of transportation．There have been some problems with snow storms like the one in the winter of the 2009 which have made the services stop for a period of time，leaving passengers in the tunnel for more than 15 hours without light，heating，food or drink，inside an unmoving train under the sea．Some of the passengers reacted very badly and have decided not to use this means of transport ever again．
