12、么奇妙的乘车经历!我和一位朋友乘坐著名的Ghan去旅行。我们在悉尼上车,在4 000多千米以外的澳大利亚中部的艾丽斯斯普林斯下车,在火车上待了两天两夜。火车很棒,食品很美味。我们吃的美味饭菜是由烹饪大师们做的!旅途开始的几百千米,景色绚丽多彩。有田野,泥土是深红色的。过后就是沙漠。太阳高照,空中没有一丝风,天上没有一朵云彩。突然之间又好像来到了另一个时代的某地。我们看到被遗弃了的100多年前建造的农庄。火车很舒服,大家都很友好。在白天,我坐着看窗外,有时和别的旅客说说话。我读读书,听听汉语磁带(我正在学校学汉语)。有一个晚上,大约是在半夜,有大约一小时我都在注视夜晚的天空。星星像钻石一样闪着光
13、芒。为什么这种火车叫Ghan呢?很久以前,澳大利亚人需要一条去往这个国家中部的通道。他们试着骑马,但那些马不喜欢炎热的天气和沙漠。150年前,他们从阿富汗引进了一些骆驼。Ghan是阿富汗的缩写。对于长途旅行而言,骆驼比马匹要好得多。许多年以来,经过训练的骆驼运走食品和其他供给物,带回羊毛和其他产品。直到20世纪20年代,阿富汗人和他们的骆驼还在做着这样的工作。后来,政府修了一条新的铁路线,因此他们就不再需要骆驼了。1925年,他们通过了一项法令,规定如果这些动物成为麻烦,就允许人们射杀它们。1935年,一个镇上的警察一天之内就射杀了153头骆驼。基础知识自测.单词预习1_ n沙漠2_ n专家3
