1. (2023七下·扬州月考)  阅读理解

As we all know, people usually cannot eat anything on a bus. But can you imagine(想象)that one day, you can have hot pot on a bus? Isn't it exciting? 

This May, Chengdu launched China's first hot pot bus tour(旅行).On the red bus, people could have hot pot with their family and friend and see the city's beautiful sights(风景)at night at the same time.

The special bus only ran for a month, from May 20th to June 19th. It started from the busy Chunxi Road at 7 p.m. every day. Then the bus passed through Taikoo Li.Lan Kwai Fong, Wangping Street, 339 TV Tower and Tianfu Square, and went back to Chunxi Road in the end. It took people about 90 minutes to finish the tour. People needed to buy a ticket on the Internet(网络)before they got on the bus. Each ticket cost 89 yuan and included food for 2-3 people and a tour guide service(导游服务).

On the bus, there were only eight dining tables but no any pots. Cooks in a famous hot pot restaurant cooked the food first and then brought it to the people on the bus. So it was safe for people to enjoy their meals on the bus. When people enjoyed the delicious hot pot, the guide told them about Chengdu's hot pot history and stories of famous sights along the roads. So people wouldn't feel bored(无聊)in the whole trip.

The hot pot bus tour was very popular in Chengdu. From the young to the old, lots of people visited the city in such a different way. Many local people couldn't even get the tickets!
