3. Read the following passage, then answer the questions: (6 Ms)
Life was quite different in the past. Everything was not as it is now. Let's talk
about just one thing. The railway has been one of the most important means of
transport. This system provides cheap transport for both people and goods. Before
trains were invented, people used to ride horses and camels for journeys across a
country. During those days, the roads were poor and journeys which now take only a
few hours, could take several days or even weeks. Moreover, trains could carry
heavier things compared to horses and camels. There are many kinds of trains. The
stopping train stops at every station, so it is slow. If you want the fastest journey,
take the express train. You can sleep in the sleeper train as there are comfortable
beds. All of the express trains have got air conditioning. You can also buy food and
drinks on the train. Some people make rail cards to save their money. Trains are the
cheapest and most comfortable means of transport.
