Some people have to use public transport (公共交通), some dislike it and some love it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.
British people use trains a lot, especially (尤其) 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. It's 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(限制) and traffic jams. However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is
almost the same and there is no traffic jam 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 tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the railway.
What's more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services(服务) for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs(插头) for personal computers or mobile phones.
( )51. In a traffic jam on the road, ________.
A. drivers can drive fast
B. drivers can drive carelessly
C. cars can't move fast
D. cars can stop working
( )52. The 3rd paragraph of the passage mainly talks about the ________ of trains.
A. speed
B. safety
C. services
D. problems
( )53. Londoners often travel by train because trains are ________.
A. old and slow
B. large, clean and powerful
C. fine and important
D. fast, safe and comfortable
( )54. What can we know from the passage?
A. We can travel from London to Paris in less than 2 hours.
B. We can do our work with personal computers on the train.
C. We have to wait till we get off the train in order to have some food.
D. The trains are only checked for quality reasons before they are used.

Now, almost everybody knows the hottest English word "selfie". Selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself, according to the Oxford (牛津) online dictionary. People usually take selfies with a smart phone and send them to Wechat (微信) or Qzone (QQ 空间).
"Almost every day, I take a photo of myself at school, and save it in my Qzone," said Huang Xu, 13, from Hunan. These photos record her happy and sad moments.
Pop stars also take a lot of selfies. Li Chunping, 14, from Harbin, is a big fan of Yang Mi. "She has used many selfies to tell us about her life and work," said Li.
What makes people love selfies? Some people say it’s narcissism (自恋). "The rise of the selfie is a perfect symbol(象征) for our narcissistic culture. We’re crying out: Look at me!" said US psychiatrist(精神科医生) Carole Lieberman.
Young people are using selfies to make friends online, Jonathan Freedland wrote in the Guardian. (《卫报》) "The usual purpose (目的) of taking a selfie is to share online. They express (表达) a human need to connect with others," wrote Freedland.
Huang Xu agrees with that. “During the summer vacation, my classmates and I shared many selfies online. Hair or clothes were not our interests. Through these photos, we got to know each other’s holidays and feelings,” said Huang Xu.
( )55. According to the story, a "selfie" is _______.
A. a person with a smart phone
B. a smart phone which can take photos
C. a photo taken by oneself
D. an English dictionary
( )56. We can tell from the story that _________.
A. only famous people enjoy taking selfies
B. people love to share selfies online
