W: Oh, we need a token.
M: A token? What do you mean?
W: A token is a subway pass.You pay ＄8.5 and get a piece of coin-like yellow metal.(1)_______________________.The fence will open for you to the platform.Look, we'll get two tokens soon.
M: Here we are on the train.It is so clean and there are not many people.
W: Yeah, we are not traveling at rush hour.It could be very crowded in the morning and after 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
M: I hear many people have cars.Why don't they use their cars?
W: Yes, almost every family has a car or two.They generally use the car as a means of transport to go to work.(2)_______________________.
M: Why is that?Isn't a car more convenient than the subway?
W: Well, it is difficult to find a parking place in the city.Besides, parking is quite expensive downtown.
M: I see.
W: Here we are at Downtown Crossing.Let's get off and change to the Red Line.
M: OK.Do we have to buy another token?
W: No, we don't.(3)_______________________.However, if you get out of the subway station,you'll have to use another token,even if you want to travel one stop further.
M: This is the same in China.But we use tickets instead of tokens.
W: Different countries have different practices.
