* Unit 4　Public transport教材背景链接 名言佳句 A thousand mile trip begins with one step. 千里之行，始于足下。 Think for yourself，and don’t be limited by what others expect of you. —Dante 走自己的路，让别人去说吧。 ——但丁 　随着时代的发展和科技的进步，人们旅游出行越来越方便。但是当你探险旅游时，哪种交通工具才是最佳选择呢？从下文中 找找答案吧！ 类文欣赏 There are many different means of transport to get around.Nevertheless，most people take the airplane to reach their long-distance destinations. But taking the airplane is not the most adventurous way of travelling. It will only bring you to big cities or the most popular places， skipping the interesting countryside.And it will not bring you into contact with the locals，who are not using airplanes to get around. Adventure travel includes finding your way around by public transport.A drawback may be that it takes more time to get around，but on the other hand it is a great way to meet local people，and that’s also what travelling is about，right? In general，two types of public transport systems can be identified：the systems that take you from destination to destination，and the local systems that help you get around. To travel from one destination to another，we prefer to travel by train.Trains are comfortable，without sudden movements，and mostly you can move around in them.In some countries，however，there are few or no railways. To move between destinations there，you will have to take the bus. To get around within a city or region，you need to depend on local transport. However，in every continent，every country， and even in every city，the local public transport system can be different.When travelling to the big cities，for instance，in Europe，you are advised to learn the specific details of the local subway or bus system of each city.
