Amazing Train Journeys

The Beijing to Lhasa Express, China

Departs daily; Distance-2,330 miles; Duration-40 hours

Linking the royal wonders of Beijing with the dreamlike palaces of Lhasa, the Z21 train travels from the modernity of urban China to a once-remote land. Running westward, the train climbs nearly 16,400 ft (5,000 m) on its journey to the roof of the world: the Tibetan Plateau.

London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper, UK

Departs daily; Distance-509 miles; Duration-13 hours 30 minutes

This overnight train journey is filled with the romance of rail travel. It's just a pity that the whole experience-from dining-car chatting and light beer, to being carried into a la-la land by the rhythm of the rails and waking to bedside views of towering peaks-feels like it's over in a flash. Though it may be short, the Caledonian is surely Britain's best train ride.

Tazara Railway, Tanzania and Zambia

Departs twice a week; Distance-1,160 miles; Duration-46 hours

Few trains offer the chance of spotting big game from your seat, but the Tazara Railway does exactly that. For many, the highlight is neither the scenery nor the wildlife, though; it's the chance to spend two days watching everyday life out of the window, and enjoying the crowds and chaos when the train pulls to a stop.

Perurail's Lake Titicaca Railway, Peru

Departs twice a week; Distance-241 miles; Duration-10 hours

Traveling across the Altiplano, from the shores of Lake Titicaca to the beating heart of the Inca capital, the railway from Puno to Cuzco cuts a picturesque path through the snow-dusted peaks and fantastic valleys of the Andes. Passengers can enjoy the landscape from an open-air observatory car, as they travel through remote towns and villages.

1. （1） What do the first two train journeys have in common?

   A . They make weekly departure. B . They are over a thousand miles. C . They travel to highlands. D . They are the longest train rides nationwide.
3. （2） On which journey can passengers watch people's daily life outside the train?

   A . Tazara Railway. B . The Beijing to Lhasa Express. C . Perurail's Lake Titicaca Railway. D . London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper.
5. （3） What can passengers do on Perurail's Lake Titicaca Railway?

   A . Travel around Lake Titicaca. B . Admire the view in the open air. C . Go through two countries on a journey. D . Have a deep understanding of towns and villages.

If you have watched the amazing Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, chances are that you have fallen in love with some winter sports and you're already making sure your equipment is ready for them. However, there's another element to get ready for the slopes（坡）-your body. Even if you exercise regularly, skiing, snowshoeing or skating challenges your muscles in ways other activities don't.

Your metabolism（新陈代谢）increases to warm you up. Your heart and lungs also need to work harder to warm air before it enters your body. Depending on the sport, certain muscles may also be used more frequently compared to activities in other seasons. The good news is that most winter sports involve heart endurance（耐力）, muscle strength and muscle endurance.

But there are still some other things to think about. Skiing and snowboarding are great winter sports that provide a total body workout. As anyone who has spent time skiing or snowboarding can prove, after a long day on the slopes, the body becomes extremely tired. To avoid this, you need to take some time to strengthen your body and improve endurance. Before the winter season, a regular exercise program should include exercises that get the blood running while challenging the entire body, such as stair climbing or running. The intensity should vary from 20-45 minutes at least 3 to 5 days a week. As winter nears, adding a cardio（有氧的） workout longer in duration but lower in intensity can help increase endurance.

A. Maybe you haven't bought all the equipment. B. And that is when injuries are more likely to occur. C. Exercising in the cold decreases your body temperature. D. You should take advantage of this opportunity to have a rest. E. Probably, you have got your skis tuned and skates sharpened. F. All of them are areas that can be trained before the winter season. G. However, it can be hard on the body the first time you hit the slopes.
