听力原文： For more than two hundred years people have been using trains. There are trains to carry people, trains to carry animals. There are fast trains, slow trains, trains that go under the ground, trains that go through mountains. In busy cities, trains have been put under the ground. The subway trains run on tracks through huge tunnels under the noise and traffic of the city. The monorail is another kind of train used in busy places. The train hangs from a rail high above the streets and it carries people quickly in and out of the city. Railroad tunnels which are miles long have been built through mountains. Do you think these tunnels are ready to build? They are not. Workers spend many years on the job. Is it possible for a train to travel over water? Yes, it is. Great bridges have been built just for trains. And railroad tunnels have been built under the water. Some trains travel great distances.

Today's trains have nice little bedrooms and dining rooms for people who travel long distances. Years ago trains were used to carry important people.
