Question

【题目】 Many people like traveling. We have some ways of traveling. The fastest way of traveling is by plane. In the past, when people wanted to go to a far place, they needed a month or more to get there. But now, people can get to the far place in one day by plane.

Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but you can see many beautiful places when you travel through. Modern (现代的) trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They even make the long journey happy. Because people get to a far place quickly by plane or train, they usually take a train or a plane when they travel on business.

Some people prefer to travel by sea. You can visit many other countries or different parts of your country. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

Many people like to travel by car. They can make their own timetable. They can travel seven or eight hundred kilometers in a day, just as they like. They can stop if there is something interesting. For example, at a good restaurant, they can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night. So traveling by car is popular for pleasure trips.
