Many governments are promoting above and underground transit systems to fight such congestion (拥堵). Urban trains are appearing even in the wide expanses of the Western United States, in places like Dallas, a city     1     (know) for oil riches and big cars.

People are not very used to     2     (ride) a train around the city. But actually, Dallas and Houston have both started light rail system. It’s very popular in both cities.

What is happening in Texas    3     (reflect) a growing trend elsewhere in the United States, says William Millar. He’s president of the non-profit American Public Transportation Association. “In the last several years, public transportation in America has undergone a renaissance (复兴).”

In 1900, many US cities had extensive urban rail systems.     4     with the arrival of the automobile, most of them disappeared by the 1950s. Now many cities are returning to     5     they had 100 years ago.

In other countries, riding buses, trains or subways are part of everyday life, many countries support public transportation to a much    6     (great) degree than happens in the United States, particularly in Europe. In other places in the world that are developing cities, there is a tremendous growth of investment in public transit. Throughout southeast Asia, certainly the capital cities, major rail systems    7     (build) over the last two or three decades. In south America, we see not only rail systems being built, but we see some of the most innovative use of public transit buses as anywhere in the world.

Rising levels of pollution from cars is leading to more investment in public transportation.

Public transport can help cities develop     8     spoiling the environment with excessive greenhouse gas emissions.

Many analysts say the growth of public transportation does not challenge the automobile, but provides    9     choice to commuters. As a rising number of people want to go to    10     infinite number of places at any time, public transportation maybe the answer.

The C919 passenger jet is welcomed with a conventional water salute at the Beijing Capital International Airport on Sunday.

China’s first self-developed narrow-body jet, the C919, successfully completed its     1     commercial flight on Sunday, ushering in a new era of aviation that utilizes domestically manufactured aircraft, industry experts said.

Some 130 passengers traveled on China Eastern Airlines flight MU 9191, which     2     Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport at 10:32 am. The plane landed at Beijing Capital International Airport at 12:31 pm, and was welcomed with a traditional water salute.

“Sitting in the China-made passenger aircraft C919, I felt extremely excited and proud,” Zhang Keli, a passenger from Beihang University in Beijing, said when she shared her     3     experience with People’s Daily.

“Both the take-off and landing were as smooth as wide-body aircraft, and the whole flying process is     4    . The cabin is quieter than traditional narrow-body jets,” Zhang said.

Wu Guanghui, head designer of the C919 and chief scientist at Commercial Aircraft Corp of China, said the commercial flight was the fulfillment of a dream. “COMAC will work on     5     of more jets to our clients to ensure more people can take our homegrow n aircraft,” he was     6     as saying by Beijing News.

The C919 flight on Sunday had a configuration of 164 seats, including eight in business class and 156 in     7     class.

Lin Zhijie, an aviation industry analyst, said the C919 is offering a new option in the global aircraft market. “The jet is     8     to the Airbus A320 and the Boeing B737 series and is expected to break the duopoly of Boeing and Airbus, which will help promote benign competition and the healthy development of the world’s civil aviation market,” Lin said.

The first C919 aircraft was delivered to China Eastern Airlines in Shanghai on Dec 9,2022, by its manufacturer. The C919 made its first experimental flight in 2017.

Before the jet’s debut commercial flight, China Eastern Airlines completed all test flights, passenger operations’ verifications and other preparatory work required before commencing commercial operations, the airline said.

The Civil Aviation Administration of China, which     9     and inspected all the results of the tests and verification procedures, confirmed that China Eastern was capable of operating C919 aircraft safely, and approved commercial operation of the jet.

The aircraft flew back to Shanghai from Beijing Capital International Airport on Sunday afternoon.

The first C919 aircraft will be put into commercial operation on a regular     10     between Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport in Sichuan province. With the delivery of more C919 aircraft, the carrier plans to gradually expand its commercial services to more Chinese cities.

A second C919 jet is scheduled to be delivered in mid-June. China Eastern will receive a total of three C919 aircraft over the next two years, according to Xinhua News Agency.
