The new high-speed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region，and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province，has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.

The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for Spring Festival.

“For the first time，I feel home is not that far away after all，”said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high-speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family．

The 35-year-old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago，and he has now settled in Urumqi．

The 1,776-km line, which passes through Qinghai province and is the country’s first high-speed railway to be built in a high-altitude region, came into service on Dec 26.

“We normally drive home for Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season.” Liang said. “Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes，so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.”

More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month，and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said the introduction of high-speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.

The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiang’s development. All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link，leaving the old one to be used for goods. As a result，Xinjiang’s annual goods ability could reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million．

The line passes through areas that experience high winds, and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the bone-dry sands of the Gobi Desert．

The project could help China to promote its high-speed railway technology abroad，said Ma Xi zhang, director of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang railway project’s management department in Xinjiang.

1.How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?

A. about 12 hours B. About 6 hours

C. About 18 hours D. About 24 hours

2.What’s the main advantage of the new high-speed railway?

A. It takes more time to go to Urumqi to Lanzhou.

B. It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang.

C. All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivals.

D. It helps to improve Xinjiang’s development.

3.From the passage we can learn________.

A. Xinjiang’s annual goods ability can increase nearly four times

B. the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroad

C. the high-speed railway lines can’t be built across the bone-dry sands

D. the old railway lines can only carry goods now

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The new high-speed railway line is good for all people to go home.

B. The new high-speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.

C. Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou.

D. Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.

More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese(肥胖)．In fact，over obesity has reached such proportions that one big-city mayor has gone about banning large-sized，sugary soft drinks and the First Lady has been on a campaign to control the dietary offerings in public schools．

Even many adults who do not fit the clinic definition of obesity are still overweight，and a large percentage are looking for the best ways to lose weight．

Reducing pounds largely comes down to the two-sided factors of diet and exercise．Not carrying out the first one enough，and not getting enough of the second one，ends up giving the individual a recipe for being overweight．

Advising someone to eat less and exercise more might be the easiest advice possible，but it’s also，partially，an oversimplification．Dieting has more to do with the types of food you eat than how much you eat．Reduce the amount of red meat in your diet．If you don’t want to eliminate red meat altogether，choose cuts of meat with less fat content．Limit your intake of salt and starches．If you’ve got to have potato chips alongside your sandwich at lunch，choose the baked potato chips that contain less fat than the deep-fried chips．You might find you’re really not sacrificing that much in terms of taste．

A diet rich in fruits，vegetables，egg whites，fish and nonfat dairy products will certainly aid in the mission of losing weight．Drink more water and less sugary drinks．If you have to have a soda，a diet soda is a better option，but seltzer is an even better choice than that．

It’s important—if not always easy—to make sure you get at least some physical activity each and every day．If your feet won’t allow for a regular jogging regimen，then make sure you take lots of walks．Next time you need to mail a letter，walk to the mailbox instead of driving．Try to work in a daily walk in your neighborhood．

1.You should________when you want to lose weight

A． try not to fit the clinic definition of obesity

B． diet as well as exercise enough

C． get little exercise every day

D． focus your attention on diet only

2.The First Lady has started a movement to________．

A． raise people’s awareness of healthy diet

B． control the public school dietary supplying

C． ban the sugary soft drinks

D． realize the importance of dieting

3.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph？

A． We must keep far away from fat and ignore our taste．

B． The simplest and best way to lose weight is to eat and exercise more．

C． We should remove the red meat in our diet completely to reduce weight．

D． When it comes to diet，no one needs to starve themselves in order to lose weight．

4.The last paragraph is mainly about________．

A． walk B． diet

C． exercise D． jog

“ You ? you are always so positive! How did you do that?”

“I told him I did not like anything about him, really. I told him I did not like his name. In fact, it wasn’t only what I said. I also did pretty bad things to him. When he was hungry, I did not give him the chance to eat food. When he felt like doing something fun, I said to him that having fun was not worthwhile. And worst of all, when he was sick and needed , I did not care. I told him to get up and get to work. And when he did, I never told him he did good work.

“But that was !”

He nodded. “Then one day it all . I stood there in front of the bathroom mirror in the morning. I saw the dark circles under his eyes. I saw the excess weight. I saw the long hair that needed . And I saw the eyes that once had looked at the world . Now they were so sad and tired. And there and then I realized he better. So I told the man I had disliked for so many years that he was a good person .”

Dear friends,

I have some advices about computers to share with you.

Now the computer had become a good friend of students. It has made our life more colorful. We can get information fast under its help. Through the Internet we can talk with people thousands of miles away.

However, there have some disadvantages. It gives us some trouble. I’m afraid that we spend a bit too much time play games in front of the screen. Our studies and health are getting worse. Our parents are beginning to worry us. In the addition, we surely have less time leaving to get together with others. In this case, the computer is taking away our human nature.

I suggest that we would use the computer to improve our life and work on the one hand, and enjoy the sunshine or fresh air with our fiends on the other hand.
