In the United States, train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes. Most people like traveling by car or by air.
Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001. The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips longer than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle. Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled in a bus. And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train.
Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States. In the past ten years, the number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent. Although the number of passengers has increased, it is still very small now. In countries such as France, Germany, or Japan, more people use trains.
There are several reasons why many people __________________________.
Firstly, Americans love to drive their own cars. On highways, cars can travel as fast as trains. These highways connect all major cities in America.Secondly, many travelers like to be independent. When they use their own cars they can decide when to travel. Thirdly, many buses travel between major cities. Bus travel is less costly than train travel.
In a huge country like the United States, cities are far away from each other. In some cases, travel from one city to another by train may take more than a day. Airplanes can carry passengers over long distances much faster. People who do not want to spend long time traveling by train decide to fly. For these people saving time is the most important thing.

In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget．But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant．The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible．
First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength．For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck．Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice．I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night．
I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor．I was paid the lowest wage of that time－two dollars an hour．Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible．I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than ＄100 a week．
But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions．During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch．Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures．The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone．And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor．
I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked．By the time I left, I _________．

It's Friday morning in the year 2025, and you're running late．You got upset watching the music video that is playing in the corner of your bathroom mirror while you were brushing your teeth．How will you get to your office at Mega Giga Industries on time?
A quick check of your Internet-connected refrigerator magnet tells you your train, which ________ up to 250 miles an hour as it electromagnetically hovers above its guide track, is a bit behind schedule, too．So you decide to drive your environmentally-friendly hydrogen fuel cell car instead－or rather, let your car drive you．It's programmed to know the way, and it will get you there without speeding, getting lost, or crashing．
Settling into your office chair, which changes color to match what you're wearing, you pick up yesterday morning's newspaper．Printed on reusable electronic paper, it instantly rewrites itself with today's headlines．Now it's time for your big meeting．Uh-oh! You're left your handwritten notes at home．No problem．The digital ink pen you used has stored an electronic copy of what you wrote．
Your wristwatch videophone suddenly rings．Your best friend's face pops up on the organic light-emitting diode screen asking what you're doing this weekend．Will you slap on your 3-D contact lenses and play virtual soccer with the U．S．Olympic team? No, no．Your friend says, so you have to take the new nano-tube elevator(made of microscopic fibers many times stronger than steel)60, 000 miles into space．
Could this scene really take place in just a couple of decades? The researchers who are currently developing all this stuff think so．These gadgets may be as common in 20 years as cell phones and DVD players are today．
