The network is made up of several color-coded lines. Trains from different lines can share the same platform, so check display screen and listen to announcements.

In Sydney, if you’re near a train station, you’re on your way to the city. Every rail line leads directly or indirectly to the City Circle. It’s the loop around the central business district of Sydney. Most City stations are underground so look out for the sign on street level. Automatic ticket gates
Large stations have automatic gates for entry to, and exit from, the station. If you have an Opal card or a ticket which has a magnetic stripe you must use the automatic gates. You may use the wide gate for wheelchair, pram or luggage access. Station staff will assist you. Night Ride buses

“I’ve always love food,” says Cassie Dawson in the kitchen of her flat in London. “But I’ve become bored with eating out. I’ve had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint, a friend suggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs.”
Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party—you go to a stranger’s house and he/she cooks dinner for you. Like a restaurant, you
pay for your food, but like a dinner party, you eat at the same table as other people. They are advertised through social-networking sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal. “It’s like running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The next morning, I set the tables and chairs aside. I put the TV back and it’s my living room again.”
Cassie opens her “restaurant” for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings she’s had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a takeaway---much less than a restaurant meal. So how does she make money out of it?
“I don’t,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. I’m good at cooking but my maths is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could make a good meal. This isn’t about money. It’s about a different eating experience.”
And what about inviting complete strangers into her house? Was Cassie ever nervous about that?
“Not at all,” she says. “Almost everyone at the supper club is just interested in having a good meal with other interesting people”. 4. Why did Cassie decide to open her own restaurant finally?
A. To earn a living B. To satisfy her friend’s needs C. To make friends with strangers D. To cook cheap and good meals for others
5. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Dinner parties B. Supper clubs C. Fresh ingredients D. Invitations to dinner
6. We can know that Cassie’s restaurant __________. A. serves meals for free B. only serves takeaways
