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?

The south and east of the Great Lakes is famous for the huge amounts of snow it receives. When the snow starts to fall every year, people start discussing the phrase “lake-effect snow”.
Lake-effect snow which is influenced by the movement of cold air over the relatively warm water of the Great Lakes often comes in late autumn and early winter. Because of the at least 20 degrees’ difference between the lake water and the overrunning air, it’s easy to form huge amounts of snow.
As the cool air crosses the water of Great Lakes, the lowest levels of the atmosphere begin to warm and pick up moisture. This newly warmed atmosphere is lighter than the cold air above it, so it starts rising. As the changed air continues to climb higher and higher, it finally meets much colder atmosphere which changes the moisture into water drops and ice, forming clouds. After this course repeats a number of times, the clouds become heavier and heavier, and then they are changed into snow and fall down.
The most important point that decides the amount of snowfall is the direction of the wind. If the wind runs perpendicularly(垂直地)across the lake, there won’t be plenty of time for clouds to develop. However, if the wind runs in the opposite direction, clouds will form easily. The longer the cold air travels over the lake, the more moisture it is able to produce, which leads to a greater amount of snow.
The largest amount of the lake-effect snow was found across the U.P. of Michigan, the northwestern Pennsylvania and the far southwestern and northwestern New York, which are all along the south or east of the Great Lakes. It has been over 100 inches of snowfall in a winter season.
