A
Generally speaking, you need to arrive at the railway station an hour before the train leaves. However, if you take a train during the Spring Festival or holidays, you are advised to be two hours early. Here are the steps for boarding.
Enter the railway station
There are X-ray machines at the entrance of each railway station. All the luggage（行李）has to be passed through to be examined for dangerous items. Once you put your luggage on the machine, please go to the other side and fetch it quickly in case that your luggage is taken either by mistake or on purpose.
Find the right waiting room
After you enter the railway station, you should find the waiting room where your train is going to leave from. There are always electronic boards at the railway station with information shown in Chinese. You can find your waiting room according to the information given on your train ticket, or you can ask a member of staff for help if you are in trouble with the language.
Get onto the platform
In most cases, check-in starts 30 minutes before the train leaves if it is the starting station. So you are advised to arrive at the station one hour early. If it is not a starting station, check-in starts when the train arrives, then you just need to be 30 minutes early. You will be informed by radio then. Remember to take all your luggage!
Board the train
The train number and the carriage number are shown outside the train clearly; and it is easy to find your carriage. There is a member of staff at the door of each carriage to whom you are required to show your ticket. If you board on the wrong carriage, he/she will guide you to the right one.
21. When should you arrive at the railway station if you want to travel by train during the Spring Festival? A. Two hours before check-in. B. Two hours before the train leaves. C. Thirty minutes before the train leaves. D. One hour before getting onto the platform.
22. Why are X-ray machines used at the entrance of each train station? A. To make sure travelers’ luggage is not lost. B. To check the luggage travelers take with them. C. To help travelers to take away their heavy luggage. D. To show travelers the right way to the waiting room
23. Where do people most probably ride the train according to the text? A. In USA.
B. In Japan.
C. In China. B
In 1990, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 230 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unluckily, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride（搭便车）.
I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for quite a while in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he promised me that I would be safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.
Twenty-six years later, in 2016, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I’d been
D. In Australia.
