Getting Around in Beijing

　　Taxis

　　Taxis are in the streets 24 hours a day．Simply raise your hand, and a taxi will appear in no time．They are usually red, and they display the price per kilometre on the window．You should check whether the cab has a business permit, and make sure you ask for a receipt．

　　Buses and trolleybuses

　　Public transport provides a cheap way to get around in Beijing．There are 20,000 buses and trolleybuses in Beijing, but they can get very crowded．It’s a good idea to avoid public transport during the rush hour(6∶30 a.m.～8∶00 a.m.and 5∶00 p.m.～6∶30 p.m.)．Fares are cheap, starting at 1 yuan．Air-conditioned buses cost more．Buses numbered 1 to 100 are limited to travel within the city centre．Higher numbers have destinations in the suburbs．Tourists shouldn’t miss the 103 bus which offers one of the most impressive routes, past the Forbidden City and the White Pagoda in Beihai Park．If you get on a double-decker bus, make sure you sit upstairs．You’ll have a good view of the rapidly changing city．

　　Most buses run from about 5∶00 a.m.to midnight．However, there is also a night bus service, provided by buses with a number in the 200s．

　　Minibuses

　　Minibuses with seats for 12 passengers offer an alternative to expensive taxis and crowded public transport in some areas．They run regular services and follow the same routes as large public buses．And in a minibus you always get a seat even in rush hours．

　　Underground

　　There are four underground lines in Beijing, and several lines are under construction．Trains are fast and convenient, but rush hours can be terrible．A oneway trip costs 3 yuan．Station names are marked in pinyin．The underground is open from 5∶00 a.m.to 11∶00 p.m.．

　　Pedicabs

　　Tourists like these human-pedalled“tricycle taxis”, but they can be expensive．You should talk to the driver, and make sure you know the price before you begin the journey．For example, if it is per person, single or return．Tricycles are worth using if you want to explore the narrow alleys(hutong)of old Beijing．

Questions：

1．What’s the problem with buses?

2．What are the advantages of the underground?

3．What can you visit in a pedicab?

答案：
解析：

　　1．They can get very crowded．

　　2．Trains are fast and convenient．

　　3．The narrow alleys of old Beijing．

　　Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job I’m not a football commentator(评论员),though-just an English teacher in japan．

　　I came to japan two years ago, and didn't think I would stay, but japan has that effect on you. People after endup tiving bere longer than they planned

I think it’s best to teach in a biggest eity where there are onther foreigners to mix with. Rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bovd Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for geueral quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices．

　　I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL eourse first. Beeause your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表)of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part time．

　　Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here．

　　The schools are reluetam to take time off –even teachers with tichets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off．

     Surgeons in Spain have successfully carried out the world's first organ transplant (移植) using new stem
cell technology. Some people are calling it the greatest medical breakthrough so far this century.
     But what are stem cells? As we know, most cells in our bodies are designed____ -for example, a liver cell
develops to work in the liver and cannot become a heart cell. But stem cells are different. They are very young
and in the laboratory scientists can grow them into different types of cells.
     Claudia Castillo needed a new windpipe (气管) after getting a serious disease. Scientists from the University
of Bristol took a donor windpipe, from someone who had recently died. They used strong chemicals to remove
the donor's cells, leaving a tissue scaffold (组织支架). This was refilled with cells from Ms Castillo's windpipe and stem cells from her bone. After four days the cells had grown sufficiently for the windpipe to be
transplanted into Ms Castillo.
     Currently, transplant patients have to take drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies rejecting
the new organs. These drugs can have bad side-effects, and do not always prevent rejec tion. But by using
Ms Castillo's own cells, doctors were able to trick her body into thinking the new windpipe was her own organ. Five months on, Claudia Castillo is in perfect health.
     This ground-breaking procedure could be used in other trans- plant operations in the future. Scientists also
believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinson's disease, heart disease, stroke, ar thritis, burns and so on.
     However, stem cell research is extremely controversial. The most effective stem cells do not come from
adults but from embryos (胚胎) created in laboratories which are just a few days old. Many people have
religious or ethical objections to growing embryos, even if they can be used to cure diseases.
