Unit 2 Travelling around the world 单元话题阅读理解练习 （2023下·广东广州·七年级校联考期中）How do you like to travel, by plane or by train? Surely, planes are fast and easy. However, travelling by train has its own advantages, especially in the busy times we live in. These days, taking trains can be as comfortable as staying in a star hotel.

When it crosses a time zone, your watch will go back one hour. Sheng found it so interesting and he could see some unexpected things. “Unlike taking a plane from one place to another, taking a train is like drawing a line.
