Sydney Trains is one of the most economical, reliable and convenient ways to travel throughout Sydney and its surrounds.

Our network, the NSW Trains Intercity, covers suburban Sydney and extends to the Hunter, Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands and South Coast regions.

The network is made up of several color­coded lines. Trains from different lines can share the same platform, so check display screen and listen to announcements.

 Ticket prices are generally based on the distance traveled. You can visit transportnsw.Info for details.

   Getting to the City

   In Sydney, if you're near a train station, you're on your way to the city. Every rail line leads directly or indirectly to the City Circle. It's the loop around the central business district of Sydney. Most City stations are underground, so look out for the sign on street level.

   Automatic ticket gates

   Large stations have automatic gates for entry to, and exit from, the station. If you have an Opal card or a ticket which has a magnetic stripe you must use the automatic gates. You may use the wide gate for wheelchair, pram or luggage access. Station staff will assist you.

   Night Ride buses

   Most trains don't operate between midnight and 4：00 am. So a special Night Ride bus service is available between these hours on most Sydney suburban lines.

   Track work

   In order for the tracks to be maintained, we sometimes have to replace trains with buses, particularly at weekends, please check the track work section for the latest service alterations on your line.

21．To get more information about ticket prices, travelers had better ________．

A．visit a website   

B．go to the City Circle

C．check display screen  

D．listen to announcements

My six­year­old son, Stephen, was in front of the TV and smiled. His favorite show was about to begin—a Phoenix Suns basketball game.

  “Ladies and gentlemen，” the announcer's voice was heard, “here is your starting lineup (首发阵容)．” The arena (球场) darkened and the lights flashed when the players ran into the court to sing their team song. Stephen clapped and danced around. My wife Lorrie and I laughed. Stephen had been performing this for months. “One day I'm going to take you to a game, son，” I promised.

  About a year later, the construction company where I worked finished a project for a Suns player. One afternoon my boss called me. “The player has two extra tickets for tonight's game! Just pick them up at my office，” he said. I picked up the tickets, but felt a little disappointed when I looked at the clock. Even if I had had a helicopter, we would never have gone to the arena in time for the player introductions. Stephen would miss his favorite part! I grabbed my key, got Stephen in my car and hit the road. “Lord，” I prayed, “I'd love to see the joy on Stephen's face. Help us make it on time.”

  When I drove, it began to rain heavily. Suddenly, lightning flashed right near the arena! I turned on the radio to listen to the game. The announcer said there'd been a power failure at America West Arena. Everyone was fine, but there would be a delay until they got everything running. Finally, I parked the car and we walked in hurriedly to take our seats. I hoped that we hadn't missed the introductions.

  The very moment we entered the arena, the lights darkened. The music started. “Ladies and gentlemen, here's your starting lineup！” Stephen's eyes grew wide. There wasn't enough space for him to dance around, but I could tell that his heart was leaping more than his body was able to. Thank heaven, he hadn't missed a thing. And_neither_had_I.

B．The arena where the game would take place was too old.

C．It was too late for them to catch the beginning of the game.

D．He had no way to get a helicopter to take his son to the arena.

Every January, more than 3，000 people take part in one of the most difficult races on Earth: the Tough Man Competition in the UK. The participants run, swim and climb around the 15 km course. But this race is not normal. These runners have to crawl through tunnels, run across a field of nettles (荨麻) and jump over fire.

Many people do the competition because it is so famous. Every year the organizers change the events and add new things. This means that the competition stays thrilling and challenging, so people go back year after year.

First, the participants run 1 km along a muddy road. Next, they crawl under low nets on the ground. After the nets, the runners jump off a high platform into a lake and swim for 1 km. Then, they reach the field of fire. Here, the runners run across a field and jump over small bonfires (篝火). Next, the participants must crawl through a long tunnel which is partly under water.

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have a great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource­hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment­friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your wallet. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment­friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.

32．What do we know about golf from the passage?

A．It pollutes the environment with all sorts of chemicals.

B．It needs water and other energy to keep its courses green.

C．It is very popular in Portugal and Spain.

D．It causes water shortages around the world.

33．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of power walking according to the passage?

A．It is environment­friendly.

A．Playing basketball in a gym.

C．Cycling around a lake.
