And instead of looking for loose change for the bus fares, travelers can easily get from one point to another with an Ez-Link card. Operating from 6 am to midnight, the fare ranges from $0.90 to $1.80 for all buses. The Ez-Link card will deduct the fare upon each ride on an automatic basis. The attraction of buses now lies in its more extensive travel, with a wider option of drop-off points, as opposed to MRT . Singapore Trolley , Tram Service for City Viewing The introduction of the Singapore trolley tram makes it easier for tourists to travel around the hot spots of Singapore such as the Orchard Road shopping belt, the Central District and the Singapore River. These are places known for the highly outstanding architectural value with a very commercial appeal, suitable for everyone. Tickets can be purchased on board or from the hotel concierge. With fares at $ 9.00 for adults and $ 7.00 for children per day, the rides are unlimited and you can easily enjoy any of these places that meet your fancy without worry about extra monetary incurrence. Singapore River Taxi, Cruise by the River There are several pick-up and drop-off points for the river taxi.

Q: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: On July 1 at exactly 7:59:59, Bejing time, the world' s atomic clocks will pause for a single second, or, more precisely, change to the unusual time of 7:59:60. The addition of a leap second , is to keep our clocks in time with the slowing of Earth' s rotation and astronomical time as measured by the sun. Just one extra second could affect the way computers and websites work, however. When the last leap second was added back in 2012, the community website Reddit crashed. For Reddit, the problem was that a Linux system got confused when it checked the network time and found an extra second. Speaking to Wired about the problem back in 2012, Linux creator Linus Torvalds commented:"Almost every time we have a leap second, we find something. It' s really annoying, because it' s code that is almost never used, and thus not tested by users under their normal conditions. " Companies have thought of their own solutions, and Google' s"leap smear"may be the best- known example. As company engineer Christopher Pascoe explains in a blog post, companies usually try to turn back the clocks by one second at the end of the day so that they play that second again. However, Pascoe believes this creates problems. He asked:"Does email that comes in during that second get stored correctly?"Google has a solution: Cut the extra second into milliseconds and then put these tiny amounts of time into the system throughout the day."This means that when it became time to add an extra second at midnight."Says Pascoe."Our clocks have already taken this into account over the course of the day." For many companies without Google' s money, however, the leap second will likely still cause some crashes. Question: What happened to the website Reddit when the leap second was added in 2012? Options: A: It crashed because of a virus attack. B: Its network time added two extra seconds. C: All of the code in its Linux system went wrong. D: One of its software systems got confused and the site broke down.
A: D
