Traders sometimes （52） to put together camel trains with 10,000 to 15,000 animals. Each animal often carried （53） 400 pounds and could travel twenty miles a day. This form of transportation was so important that camels were called the "ships of the （54）."

　　Now modern trains travel across the desert in a very （55） time. One engine can pull as much weight as 135,000 （56）. In addition, trains use special cars for their load. Refrigerator cars carry food; boxcars carry heavy goods; stock cars carry animals; and tank cars carry oil.

　　Air travel has changed, too. The earliest planes were biplanes （雙翼飛機）, with（57） sets of wings. The top speed of this plane was 60 miles per hour. The pilots used to sit or lie on the wings in the open air. The plane（58） sometimes stopped in the middle of a trip. It used to be （59） to fly in bad weather.
