【题目】Beijing Daxing Airport is Finally Open

Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX), also known as Beijing New Airport, is the biggest airport in the world. It is also the second international airport of Beijing along with Beijing Capital International airport. The airport's design is pioneering while its location on Daxing District (the southern suburbs of Beijing) is perfect in order to serve the Chinese capital and the neighboring areas of Hebei and Tianjin. The new mega-airport hub (大型枢纽机场) is expected to handle up to 45 million passengers per year by 2021 and reach an outstanding 100 million in the future.

How big is Daxing Airport?

The gigantic Daxing Airport, with the impressive shape which has given it the nickname 'Starfish', has enormous dimensions. There are 4 runways at present (with the hope of becoming 7 in the future) and a vast terminal building (航站楼) covering a 700,000m area while the ground transportation centre extends to 80,000m.

How many runways does Daxing Airport have?

For the time being, Daxing Airport has four runways and 79 airport stands. The 4 runways' size is impressive while the airport stands are suitable both for one twin-aisle (双通道) and two single-aisle planes. Eventually, the airport will have 7 runways in total and will be able to serve about 620,000 flights every year.

Who designed Daxing Airport?

Daxing Airport's terminal building is the impressive outcome of the cooperation between ADP Ingeniérie (ADPI) and the architecture team of Zaha Hadid (ZHA) who tragically passed away in 2016. As a result, in August 2018, Hong Kong design studio Lead 8 undertook the design of the new commercial terminal which is expected to meet every passenger's needs.

How much did Daxing Airport cost?

The construction of the mega-airport, which is expected to eventually become the busiest airport in the world, cost an unsurprisingly large amount. The Chinese government is estimated to have paid about US $17.47 billion for this great project.

Most men and women feel that a dinner bill should be split down the middle, how fair is this it really? A new app aims to answer this question, and for others who fall 1 to income inequality, by dividing the check-up according to each person's race and gender.

Equipay uses Bureau of Labor Statistics and math to calculate how much is2 from each person , but it will only give you statistics about the wage3.

'Equipay helps you avoid the firm discrimination that exists in our society. It doesn't work out an equal split of the bill but a 4one.' the company's site says. 'You pay what you should to balance out the wage diversity.' The app is the brain child of Luna Malbroux, a diversity educator and comedian from California, who wanted to 'make the touchy subject' of racial and gender inequalities more 5, The problem is expected to catch people’s eye easily.

“I hope that this, more than anything, starts a discussion and helps people to start thinking a little bit differently about how we can use technology and innovation to6 inequality and wage inequality, ” Malbroux said.

The app has a built in 'diversity tool' that allows you to7 how diverse your friends really are, the list also displays the level of diversity for each person.

Type in the amount of the entire bill at the top, tip included, and the software will begin calculating the split based on who your8 is. Finally it will show you the list again, but now with how much each person owes.

Before paying your share, there is the9 to protest, in which the app will ask 'what's your excuse' and lists reasons for you to choose from. You can say 'I was a middle child' or 'I'm unaware of my privilege'.Equipay will find the best reply possible, whether it is facts regarding income inequalities or something seemingly10 but also makes you think twice before disagreeing with what you have to pay.
