A Ride in aCable-car

A ride in acable-car is one of the exciting and enjoyable experiences a child can have.In

Switzerland,which is the home of the cable-car,it isused mostly to take tourists up the slope of a mountain,to a restaurant fromwhich one can have a bird-eye view of the

surrounding country,or to a top of a ski-run,from which,in winter,skiers glide down the snowcovered the slope on skis .In Singapore,however,the cable-car takes one from

the summit of a hillon the main island to a low hill on Sentosa,a resort island just off thesouthern coast.

The cable-car isreally a carriage which hangs from a strong steel cable suspended in the air.

It moves along thecable with other cars on pulleys,the wheels of which are turned by electricmotors. The cars are painted in eye-catching colours and spaced at regular

intervals.Each carcan seat up six persons.After the passengers have entered a car,they are lockedin from outside by an attendant,they have no control over the movement of

the car.

Before long,thepassengers get a breath-taking view through the glass windows of the moderncity,the bustling harbour,and the several islands off the coast. The car is

suspended so high inthe air that slips on the sea look like small boats,and boats like toys.On aclear day,both the sky above and the sea below look beautifully blue.

In contrast to thefast-moving traffic on the ground,the cars in the air move in a leisurelymanner,allowing passengers more than enough time to take in the scenery duringthe

brief trip to the island of Sentosa.Aftera few hours on Sentosa,it will be time again to take a cable-car back to Mount Faber.The return journey is no less exciting than the

outward trip.The cable-car inSingapore______.
