七、阅读与回答问题
Travelling by train is slower than by air, but it has its advantages. You can see the places you are passing by. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining cars. They make even the longest journey enjoyable.
Some people like to travel by sea better when it is possible. There are large liners (游轮) and river boats with which you can visit many other countries and different places. Travelling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.
Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred miles or only fifty miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish: where there is something interesting to see, at a good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or a hotel to spend the night. That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or a plane when they are travelling on business.
