Passage2
A subway is not just an important form of transport. It is also a window for other people to learn about local culture.
Beijing, China
The Beijing Subway was opened in 1969 and is the oldest subway system in China. It has added some modern technologies. All stations now have touch-screen maps. In some stations, people can also see traditional Chinese culture. For example,on the walls of a few stations of Line 8,there are some pictures of blue and white porcelain(青花瓷).
Stockholm, Sweden
The first subway line for Stockholm was opened in 1950.The Stockholm Subway is well-known for its decoration of the stations. It is called the longest art gallery in the world. Over 90 percent of its stations are decorated with paintings. A few stations are decorated with red bedrocks(岩床). This makes you feel as if you are in a cave.
London,UK
The London Undergound or the Tube is the oldest subway in the world. It was opened in 1863. During World War II, it was used to protect people form German plane attacks(袭击)on London. Now, it is a symbol of the city. There is no air conditioning in the trains, so it is very hot in summer.
New York,US
The New York City Subway runs 24 hours a day. It has an express train on almost everyline. You can get to your destination(目的地)quickly. The trains themselves are full of fun; you will see people doing moonwalk dances like Michael Jackson, playing the guitar and singing.
