But this is no businessman taking it easythe driver of the passenger express (快車) is doing the reading.A Sunday Express reader caught this Virgin employee on film as the train sped through Derbyshire on its way to Plymouth from Newcastle.Virgin ，which has come under repeated criticism over their rail service, yesterday fired the driver after being shown the photograph.A spokesman said an inquiry (調(diào)查) was under way to make sure exactly what he was doing and why he appeared to have taken his eyes off the track ahead.The picture comes in the week that the public inquiry into the Southall rail disaster, which claimed seven lives, heard that the driver at the centre of that case had earlier been spotted with his feet on the control button of his cab.Larry Harrison，who worked for Great Western Trains, drove through two warning signals before crashing at 60 mph into a waiting train.The reader who took this picture was standing on a bridge outside Chesterfield early one summer's evening. He said，“I only realised what I'd got when I had the pictures developed.I couldn't believe it.”“As far as I could see，there was no one else in the cab with the driver，unless they were hiding.The person with the paper open was certainly sitting in the driver's normal seat.”The photographer works on the railways and does not want to be named，but he added，“I've seen many drivers with their feet on the control panel but I've never seen them reading papers like this.There is an automatic warning system and driver's safety device which reminds him when he passes yellow and red signals.But you should never take your eyes off the track and rely only on sounds because you could have unexpected objects on the line or suddenly have speed limits given.”語篇解讀:本文為新聞報道。一位火車司機開火車時竟然看報紙，最終引起了重大的交通事故。1Who is the “traveller” mentioned in the first paragraph?AA train driver.
