| Ann loves the underground (地铁) in London. She always prefers to travel on the underground because it is fast. She doesn't find it difficult now, as she has got used to (逐渐习惯) it. Ann knows the underground map very well. Each line has its own color. For example, the Central Line (主干线) is red, the Piccadilly Line (皮凯德里干线) is blue, and so on. Londoners always call the underground "the tube" (meaning "underground") When you see the long tunnels (隧道) under ground, it isn't hard to understand why. Yesterday Ann went home on the underground at about five o'clock in the afternoon. She got a surprise. Since everyone was going home from work, the train was full. This was the "rush-hour", and it was a new experience (经历) for Ann. There were a lot of people, but trains came every minute. Everyone waited and didn't push. As the train was full, Ann had to stand, but she didn't mind. In the train she saw a sign. It said: "Keep away from the Rush Hour." "I will, next time." Ann thought. |
