Passage 2

　　A ride in a cable-car

　　A ride in a cable.car is one of the most exciting and enjoyable experiences a child Call have.In Switzerland.which is the home of the cable-car，it is used mostly to take tourists up the slope of a mountain，to a restaurant from which one can have a birdseye view of the surrounding country.or to the top of a ski-run，from which，in winter, skiers glide down the snow-covered slope on skis.In Singapore，however, the cable-Car takes one from the summit of a hill on the main island to a low hill on Sentosa，a resort island just off the southern coast.

　　The cable.car is really a carriage which hangs from a strong steel cable suspended in the air.It moves along the cable with other cars on pulleys，the wheels of which are turned by electric motors.The cars are painted in eye catching colours and spaced at regular intervals。.Each Car call seat up to six persons.After the passengers have entered a car, they are 10cked in from outside by an attendant.They have no control over the movement of the car.

　　Before long，the passengers get a breath-taking view through the glass windows of the modem city, the bustling harbour.and the several islands off the coast.The car is suspended so high in the air that ships on the sea look like small boats，and boats like toys.On a clear day，both the sky above and the sea below look beautifully blue.
