L37-1：The Westhaven Express
We have learnt to expect that trains will be punctual.
After years of conditioning,
most of us have developed an unshakable faith in railway timetables.
Ships may be delayed by storms;
flights may be cancelled because of bad weather,
but trains must be on time.
Only an exceptionally heavy snowfall might temporarily dislocate railway services.
It is all too easy to blame the railway authorities when something does go wrong.
The truth is that when mistakes occur, they are more likely to be ours than theirs.
After consulting my railway timetable,
I noted with satisfaction that there was an express train to Westhaven.
It went direct from my local station and the journey lasted mere hour and seventeen minutes.
When I boarded the train,
I could not help noticing that a great many local people got on as well.
At the time,
this did not strike me as odd.
I reflected that there must be a great many local people besides myself who wished to take advantage of this excellent service.

练习感悟：要持续打造高效的学习进度。确保争取每天1小时内搞定。这是个挑战，但是也是个不得不做的事。加油。今天就是开始。在每天不同时刻就要开始想着今天，明天的课文的内容，分解下去，而不是只集中在早上去临时记忆。
