In the world there are a lot of people using public transport, some love it and still some dislike it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.

British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are traveling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It's much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are traveling by train, the speed is almost he same and there is no traffic jam for a train.

Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of traveling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.

What's more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services andpower plugs (電源插頭) for personal computers or mobile phone.

“My dear Mr Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let (出租) at last?”

Mr Bennet replied that he had not.

“But it is,” returned she, “for Mrs Long has just been here, and she told me all about it.”

Mr Bennet made no answer.

“Do not you want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently?

“You want to tell me, and I have no objection (反對) to hearing it.”

This was invitation enough.

“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune (財富) from the north of England; that he came down on Monday to see the place, and was so satisfied with it that he agreed immediately with Mr Morris, the owner of Netherfield, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.”

“What is his name?”

“Bingley.”

“Is he married or single?”

“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; 4 or 5,000 a year. What a fine thing for our girls! It is probable that he may fall in love with one of them, and so you must visit him as soon as he comes.”

“I see no chance for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr Bingley might like you the best of all.”

“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr Bingley when he comes into the neighbourhood.”

“It is more than I can be sure, I assure (向……保證) you.”

“But consider your daughters. Sir William and Lady Lucas have decided to go, for in general, you know they visit no new comers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him, if you do not.”

But in fact Mr Bennet was among the earliest of those who waited to visit Mr Bingley. He had always planned to visit him, though to the last always assuring his wife that he should not go.

1.How did Mrs Bennet feel when she heard that Bingley would move there?

A. Excited and hopeful. B. Nervous and curious.

C. Surprised and crazy. D. Pleased and proud.

2.Why did Mr Bennet show no interest in Mr Bingley’s moving there when his wife talked about it?

A. Because his daughters were not pretty enough.

B. Because his wife was prettier than his daughters.

C. Because he didn’t care about his daughters’ happiness.

D. Because he didn’t want to show his true feelings to others.

3.What does the underlined word “that” mean?

A. Mr Bingley had decided to live there.

B. Mr Bennet himself would visit Mr Bingley.

C. Mr Bingley would like Mrs Bennet best.

D. Mr Bingley would fall in love with one of their daughters.

4.Why did Mrs Bennet mention “Sir William and Lady Lucas”?

A. To show Mr Bingley was well worth visiting.

B. To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were their friends.

C. To show it was polite for a couple to visit a new comer together.

D. To show Sir William and Lady Lucas were too proud to get along well with.
