Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because the airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off which is often late. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but it still takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
I like travelling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually good in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way, though it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey whenever you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

Movies for the Blind?
When you think of the cinema, the phrase "watching a movie" probably comes to mind, and, in fact, moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually. But movies also contain stories, dialogues, music and sound effects --- things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy.
Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website to help visually impaired (受損的) people choose movies that they can follow without the help of an assistant to explain what is happening on the screen. Klein gives movies a rating from 1 to 10 based on several factors. A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize. Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place. A large amount of dialogue between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes.
Of course, visually impaired people can enjoy many films with the help from a friend who doesn’t mind explaining the parts of a movie that can only be seen. But that means that someone is talking during the movie, which could annoy some audience members. It also means that these people cannot go to the movies independently. To solve these problems, some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements, scenery, and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen. Visually impaired moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie. This allows them to listen to the narration (敘述) while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater.
Another blind movie reviewer, Jay Forry, writes movie reviews that are published on his website. He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows. Forry gives movies one of five ratings, including, "So good, blind people will like it" and "I'm glad I couldn't see it." Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 20 and he decided to go to college. His first articles appeared in the college newspaper, and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio. After "watching" The Sixth Sense, Forry commented that he thought the movie was excellent, but that he envied the boy who was the main character: "He had six senses, and I only have four."

A. A action film with many fight scenes.
B. A science fiction movie about time travel into the past and the future
C. A romantic comedy with four main characters and lots of conversations.
D. An adventure with many explosions and special effects.
2.According to the article, how are some movie theaters dealing with the problem of blind people going to movies?
A. They are asking the assistants not to annoy the other audience members.
B. They are providing headsets so blind people can hear a recorded narration.
C. They are providing trained employees to describe the movie to blind people.
D. They are asking blind people to enjoy the music and the other sounds in the theater.
3.What is the main idea of the article?
A. More and more blind people enjoy going to movies.
B. Marty Klein and Jay Forry write movie reviews for blind people.
C. Moviemakers are trying to make films more interesting for the blind.
D. Movie reviews and new technologies make it easier for the blind to enjoy the movies.
