五、阅读理解
My city has changed a lot in the past twenty years, especially in transport. Twenty years ago, people used to travel by bike or bus. The buses were always slow, with many passengers(乘客)squeezing together even in the narrow aisles(过道)and they usually needed to wait for half an hour or more for the next one. At that time, there was no underground or high - speed train in our city. If people wanted to travel to other cities, they had to take a coach, which usually took a long time and made tired travellers feel uncomfortable.
Now, things are totally different. We have different types of transport to choose from. We can take the underground to get around the city quickly without worrying about traffic jams(堵塞), and the ticket(票)price is affordable(付得起)for most people. The high - speed train connects our city to many big cities across the country, and the speed is amazing. We used to spend 12 hours taking a green train to our capital. Now the high - speed train saves us eight hours to get there. Taking a plane is also a good choice for long trips, as it saves more time. It's really convenient for us to travel wherever we want to go now.
People's lives have become better because of the development of transport. At different times, we have different transport ways, but all of them make our life easier and more comfortable, and help us explore more wonderful places outside the city.
