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 Xizhang, 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.

I had the meanest mother in the whole world.While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast.While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich.As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’ too.But at least, I wasn’t alone in my sufferings.My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.

My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times.She had to know who our friends were and where we were going.She insisted if we said we’d be gone an hour, then we should be gone one hour or less -- not one hour and one minute.And she always insisted upon us telling the truth.Now you can see how mean she was.

The worst is yet to come.We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning.We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends.So while they slept - my mother actually had the courage to break the Child Labor Law.She made us work.We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook.We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day.The other kids always wore their clothes for days.We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.

Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit.We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did, and miss school.Our marks in school had to live up to expectations.Our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing.My mother, being as different as she was, would be satisfied with nothing less than ugly black marks.

As the years rolled by, first one and then the other of us was put to shame.We graduated from high school.With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out.

My mother was a complete failure as a mother.Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education.None of us have ever been arrested or divorced.Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country.She forced us to grow up into God-fearing, educated, honest adults.I am now trying to raise my three children.I am filled with pride when my children call me mean.Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time,they become weak;when you start using them again,they slowly become strong again.Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning the fact. 1. When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. 2. One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or a motor car all day.

If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. 3. , many of us think that his parents are to blame,or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much his own fault as if it was his arms or legs that were weak.Not all of us can become extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.

Have you ever found that some people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? 4. Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things;they cannot write them down in a little notebook.They have to remember dates,time and prices, names,songs and stories;so their memory is the whole time being exercised.

5. ,learn from the poor:practise remembering.

A. What do you think of it?

B. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.

C. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory

D. So if you want a good memory

E. When someone else says that he is poor in the health

F. Why is this?

G. The position is exactly the same as that of two people.
