阅读下面材料，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
♠ For those who would like to travel by train, Australia has a few good options. The prices could be cheaper, but they are about the same as traveling by bus, car, or plane. The only point you must pay attention to before booking your train trip is that on some routes the train travels mostly during the night, so rail travelers will only see stars, weather permitting. But there are day trips, and even journeys that last for days and nights – just pay attention to the schedule. The majority of rail companies in Australia offer tourist passes that you can drop off at a point and start again the next day, just like the Euro Pass. Alternatively, you can buy passes for a certain number of days only. Most of these rail companies also offer integrated passes, meaning that you buy the package together. For example, the train to Cairns includes a Great Barrier Reef cruise. Depending on what you want to do and for how long, it’s a good deal.
