| For years and years people have been
saying that the railways arc dead. "We can do without railways," people say, as
if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We all keep hearing
that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they are dying. But this is
far from the truth. In those days of expensive oil, the railways have become
highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or
goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have
much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a
railway. What is more, it takes from the heart of a city into the heart of
another. It doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city
center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a
single train can carry goods which a plane or motorca A. planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains B. oil is expensive today C. trains are super fast D. railways earn a large amount of money [单项选择]
