    Now distance is no longer a problem for travellers around the world. For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into villages. It seems that the distances between them appear no greater than from village to village in the past. Planes fly people from one end of the Earth to the other, providing a freedom of movement not dreamt of a hundred years ago.

However, not everyone is pleased with the high speed. Though we have conquered (征服) time and distance, there is a great loss.Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured (忍受).The ship offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. During a journey by train, lakes, forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. But if you board a plane, you can just see the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the aeroplane, and the hours progress slowly.

    What's more, there is the time spent being "processed" at a modern airport. People are transported like robots along walkways; luggage is weighed: tickets are produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Of course, journeys by rail and sea take longer, but the hours devoted to being" processed" at departure and arrival are luckily shorter. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.

    Yet it is impossible for us to tum our back on the aeroplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; too many industries have been built around its design and operation. And too many holiday takers, with limited time to spend, patiently endure the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours. Speed controls people's life today, saving time, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding freely across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the ones we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.

    Have you ever imagined travelling to the deep undersea and staying there for some days or even some weeks? Many people may think it impossible. But those who have gone to live in Saturation City—a new undersea city, will tell you it's quite possible. There will be no suffering. In fact it is so comfortable that it has been described as "a silk adventure".

    It's not easy for companies to design undersea cities in the past. The sea bottom is too deep, which has caused problems with communicating between underwater and the sea surface. This difficulty has been resolved by the one-person or family shuttle-submarines(潜水艇) which will always be ready to take people to the surface. Every one will be transported quickly and safely to their destination.

    The city designers have special concern about the security of all the families. Careful entry procedures(进入程序) are required whenever people enter or leave Saturation City. There are advanced computers monitoring(监控)all the houses and streets. No object can be removed freely by strangers. Only when the robot cleaner touches the objects can they be moved. This new and revolutionary piece of computer equipment comes free with every house. It will certainly add to your quality of life in Saturation City.

    There will be no household worries in Saturation City. Each house comes with its own robot for family use only. Your details will be programmed into its computer so that it will only answer your family's commands. Soa spotless houseis yours as soon as you move in.

    We hope that the above information is enough for you to decide to experience the journey deep undersea.

    Travelling is wonderful in many ways.

    ⒈You'll find a new purpose.

    As you travel, you re exposed to new people, cultures and lifestyles. With all the newness in your life, you're also opened to new insights, ways of seeing the world and living, which often give people a purpose for their lives.

    ⒉You'll appreciate your home more.

    Each travel has its advantages. If you visit better countries, you may learn to improve your own. And if fortune carries you to worse ones, you may learn to enjoy your own. In some parts of the world, like India and Uganda, people don't have as much access to clean drinking water. Travelling through areas like that really makes you appreciate what you do have.

    ⒊You'll realise that your home is more than just where you grew up.

    As Lin Yutang said, no one realises how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow. The more you travel, the more you will realise that your home is much more than the town that you've grown up in. You will realise that your home is the world, and you become moreconscious ofhow you can live and support one another.

    ⒋You'll realise how little you actually knew about the world

    The world is like a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. When you travel, you may notice that some of the things you've heard about the world end up being very different. You may also realise how kind and friendly strangers can be. They are even willing to take care of you with a place to sleep at night. Beyond that, you have the whole world to learn about with every place you discover, every person you meet and every culture you experience.

    ⒌You'll realise that it's extremely easy to make friends.

   A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.One of the first things I learnt from travelling is how easy it is to make friends. Something magical happens in how people can show up in a more honest and real way when they're out of their conditioned environment and open to express themselves without feeling judged.
