初中英語時文閱讀訓(xùn)練Day76例題

　　Japan recently showed the world's first Dual- Mode Vehicle(雙模車，DMV). It is a vehicle that runs both on roads, like a bus, and on railways, like a train.

　　The special bus-train vehicle was showed last month in the town of Kaiyo. The mini-bus- like vehicle didn't win anyone over with its looks,but it really interested many people for its usefulness. It runs with normal rubber tires on the road. But when it needs to change into a train, a pair of steel wheels drops down from the bottom of the vehicle. Changing between a bus and a train takes only about 15 seconds.

　　“This DMV can reach the local people as a bus and carry them onto the railway as well, "Shigeki Miura,CEO of Asa Coast Railway said.“Especially in the countryside where most people are over 65,we expect it to be a very good form of travel.”

　　The DMV has been in the works for over ten years. And the local government hopes that it will not only improve the lives of local people but also have more tourists come to see the special vehicle in person.

　　The vehicles come in different kinds of colors. They can carry up to 21 passengers and run at a speed of 60 km/h in train form,and up to 100 km/h as a bus.

　　Shigeki Miura said he believed that the unusual vehicle could help small towns like Kaiyo with an aging and dropping population, where the traditional transportation companies are not easy to make money. The special vehicle will soon cover part of the coast of Shikoku island, connecting several towns and offering riders exciting tours along the coast.
