If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, the train is a good form of public transport. British people use trains a lot. This is especially true for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. Its much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam(交通堵塞) for a train. Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality(质量) tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track. Whats more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats. They also provide food services and power plugs(电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phone.15 .

But the latest Chinese sci-fi movie, The Wandering Earth, offers a different and more ambitious idea. In the film, based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Liu Cixin, Earth is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun. In response, humans around the world work together to build a giant engine system that will push Earth away from the sun. Instead of abandoning Earth again this time were taking it with us.This “ambition” didnt come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom is luoyeguigen, which means returning to ones homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree. Or look to an ancient verse: “The season called the White Dew begins tonight/Nowhere as in our native place is the moon so bright”. These both show the tight bond that Chinese people have had with their homeland.This special cultural background is probably what sets The Wandering Earth apart from Hollywood-style space films. “What is Chinese sci-fi?” Guo Fan, the films director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that can really express our cultural and spiritual core can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, were just imitating others and telling the same American stories.” And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because its our home.19 .

What can we learn from the passage?AThis film was based on a short story by Chinese sci-fi writer Guo Fan.BThis film tells us each of us should return to our hometown when we grow old.CWe should protect the Earth because it is in danger of being destroyed by the dying sun.DThe director of this film thinks Chinese sci-fi should have our cultural and spiritual core.No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job.
