English Test For Junior High School Read the text and answer number 1 to 5!

Last summer, I went to London. I stayed in my friends house for few days. One day, my friend, Michael and I took a walk in the centre of London. I wanted to try a tube to reach a place in London. A tube is a subway, or underground railway. Michael told me that many people lived in the city and worked in London. Commuters in London usually used the tube. In the morning, Michael said, the commuters who wanted to travel by tube, had to queue for tickets at the ticket counter. However, they could buy the tickets in automatic ticket machines. Some people who regularly used the tube preferred season tickets. It cost less than paying separately each time they wanted to take the tube. After they have the ticket they show the ticket to the collector at the burrier. The commuters then stepped on to the descending escalator an in short time they were in the crowded platform waiting for the tube come in. during rush hour there was a tube to the city every a few minutes. After the passengers arrived at their destination, he added, they were quickly out of the tube and went on to the escalator again. They walked away from the underground station and rushed to their offices. Through Michaels explanation, now I know about the routine in London on weekdays. All people seemed very busy here.
