Question

    My mum is always at work and my sisters are never around, so I have nothing to do. My house is boring. The train lets me escape and explore.

I have been taking the train for five years. I've learned that it's fast and convenient. I live about two miles from the Blue Line Imperial Station. I like taking the train because it gives me freedom.

My favourite place to go is downtown. I take the train to Macy's Plaza in front of the 7th Street Station to do some shopping at Borders or Victoria's Secret, or to get something to eat at the food court. With 25 cents, you can take the DASH bus from the station to get to the Fashion District. Since I like making accessories(首饰) like earrings, love going there because of all the deals on jewelry supplies.

I take the train to the Museum of Contemporary Art with friends on the first Sunday of every month since we can get in for free. We tour around the museum and get to do an art project at the end. like going to the museum because there are a lot of wonderful things.

The cool thing about the train is that it connects to other train lines, which lets you see different parts of the city. The Gold Line runs from Union Station northeast to Pasadena and now east to East LA. The Red Line goes from downtown to Hollywood. The Green Line goes from Norwalk to several beaches. When I don't know how to get somewhere, I go to mta. net, type in my starting point and end point and get times and routes. I hardly ever get lost.

I take the train to Macy's Plaza in front of the 7th Street Station to do some shopping at Borders or Victoria's Secret, or to get something to eat at the food court. 我最喜欢去的地方是市中心。 我坐火车到梅西广场，在第七街车站前面，在Borders或Victoria's Secret购物，或者在美食广场买东西吃，可知，作者经常去市中心购物。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据最后一段最后两句“When I don't know how to get somewhere，I go to mta.net,type in my starting point and end point and get times and routes. I hardly ever get lost.” 当我不知道怎么去某个地方时，我就在mta.net上输入我的起点和终点，得到时间和路线。我几乎从不迷路。可知，作者几乎不迷路的原因是她经常上网查找出行路线，故选D。
