新课讲解
transportation：the steam train.
In 1804，the first train engine was born in England.
It travelled only about fifteen kilometres in two hours. In 1825，the first passenger railway opened. The Rocket was the most famous early engine.
During the 1830s，countries all over the world started to build railways. Fifty years later many countries had railways. People built many train stations to help passengers get on and off the trains easily.

Early trains were slow by today's standards. The Rocket had a top speed of only 45 kilometres per hour. Today's high speed trains can travel at about 300 kilometres per hour. The fastest trains can go about 500 kilometres an hour.
Maybe trains will have no wheels in the future. Maybe they will ride on air. That would be amazing!

Read the passage and answer the questions.
Over two thousand years ago，Chinese people invented kites. Kites can fly like birds，but they can't take people up into the sky. Hundreds of years later，the Wright brothers made the first successful experiment. A machine carrying a man rose into the sky using its own energy. It was the first plane. Inventors went on to improve planes. Two engineers，Frank Whittle of the U．K. and Hans Von Ohain of Germany，developed the jet plane during the late 1930s.
