16、ll to lower Manhattan. His total travel time is 5 hours each day.

17、iends hes made on the train over the years, or spend a few hours reading a novel.For Moore, traveling by train allows him and his wife to live in a more peaceful environment that is far away from the fast-paced city lifestyle.“We moved to Cornwall specifically because I could take a train to work.

18、t allowed us to live more than 50 miles outside the city and still travel comfortably to work every day,” he says.Moore is not the only one enjoying passenger rail.

23、17 season.The Met Office, the UKs national weather service, decided to give storms boys and girls names in 2015 in the same way as they did in America.The Met Office hopes that naming big storms will mean people are more aware (意识到) of them and how dangerous they can be. Derrick Ryall, from the Met

25、 bad storms, started giving names to them. Think back to the St Judes Day storm in 2013, and the so-called Hurricane Bawbag in Scotland in 2011.
