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.

I’m Glad I got Sick

Twenty-seven years ago I got sick. The reason I can remember the date so well is that being sick is what me to choose my future wife. She was just a good friend, but because she to my apartment, brought me medicine, and made me breakfast, I thought for the first time “what a super wife she will for someone.”

I took her out to eat for helping me the flu. After that we became even better friends, but still thought of marriage. A few months later I was going to a new job in the Atlanta area, so Cathy helped me boxes to get ready to leave. We a great time that day and had lunch together. Near the end of that day I a few tears in Cathy’s eyes, so I asked what was .

She said, “I don’t know if I can live you, you are my best friend.” I said, “I know, I’ve been thinking the thing.” That day we decided to get married and we have been married ever since. We have had our times, as many others have had, but we are still best friends!

I get to the family unit in my Health class and we talk about …I always tell this story. My students seem to love it because they learn that , sharing and caring about others is all that really in life, and that looks, money and other things are not important.

the way, my wife is 12 years younger than me, and she is beautiful. We have 2 beautiful children, but we still have dates on weekend.

Cathy is the greatest thing that has ever me! She is a fantastic mother, and the best wife a coach could ever have. Thank God I got sick 27 years ago!

It’s so difficult to follow the ups and downs of a 2-year-old. One moment he’s beaming and friendly; the next he’s sullen（愠怒的）and weepy, often for no apparent reason. These mood swings, however, are just part of growing up. They are signs of the emotional changes taking place as your child struggles to take control of actions, impulses, feelings and his body.

At this age, your child wants to explore the world and seek adventure. As a result, he’ll spend most of his time testing limits, his own, yours and his environments. Unfortunately, he still lacks many of the skills required for the safe accomplishment of everything he needs to do, and he often will need you to protect him.

When he oversteps a limit and is pulled back, he often reacts with anger and frustration, possibly with a temper tantrum (发脾气). He may even strike back by hitting, biting and kicking. At this age, he doesn’t have much control over his emotional impulse (冲动). So his anger and frustration tend to erupt suddenly in the form of crying, hitting or screaming. It’s his only way of dealing with the difficult realities of life. He may even act out in ways that unintentionally harm himself or others. It’s all part of being 2.

It’s not uncommon for toddlers to be angels when you’re not around, because they don’t trust people enough to test their limits. But with you, your toddler will be willing to try things that may be dangerous or difficult, because he knows you’ll rescue him if he gets into trouble.

Whatever protest pattern he has developed around the end of his first year will probably persist for some time. For instance, when you’re about to leave him with a sitter, he may become angry and throw a tantrum in anticipation (预想) of the separation. Or he may cry and cling to you. Or he could simply become subdued and silent. Whatever his behavior, try not to overreact by scolding or punishing him. The best tactic(策略) is to reassure him before you leave that you will be back and, when you return, to praise him for being so patient while you are gone. Take comfort in the fact that separations should be much easier by the time he’s 3 years old.

1.The “ups and downs” (Para. 1) of a 2-year-old refers to ________.

A. his falling down and standing up

B. his successes and failures in doing things

C. his good and bad traits

D. his mood swings

3.Which of the following is true?

A. A 2-year-old doesn’t know how to express his anger and frustration.

B. A 2-year-old often intentionally harms himself or others.

C. A 2-year-old depends on his parents to do everything new and challenging.

D. A 2-year-old trusts his parents more than other people

4.When a mother is about to separate with her baby, she’d better __________.

A. leave without the baby’s knowledge

B. make the baby subdued and silent

C. comfort the baby that she’ll be back soon

D. ignore the baby’s reactions

What is funny? The short answer is: Who knows? The joke that causes a burst of laughter from one listener might be met with a puzzled look from another.

In general, you should avoid jokes at any business or social gathering where there are more than two people in your conversational group. If there are only two people — and they consist of you and your best friend — go ahead and tell it.

Admittedly, a few people possess a perfect sense of timing, appropriateness, and joke delivery. You are probably not one of them. You might be quite funny and have many great jokes. But there’s a place for jokes — over dinner with family, hiking with friends, but business or social affairs with colleagues and acquaintances (熟人) are not it. It takes a whole other level of joke-telling ability to put a joke into the more formal conversations.

The best jokes come into the conversation so that by the time listeners realize a joke is in progress, the punchline that produces humour is being delivered — to their surprise and delight.

Jokes don’t translate well when you’re in a group with mixed backgrounds: those whose first language is not English, those who might not understand a special term or an “in” expression, young people who wouldn’t catch a reference to some bit of culture familiar to older people — and vice versa (反之亦然).

Never joke about another person in the group — about their name, habits, hometown, profession, appearance, or past. It’s not a question of whether the joke is cheery or appropriate. No one enjoys being singled out this way. When you are the subject of the joke, the laughter doesn’t feel good no matter how hard you try to tell yourself they’re not laughing at you. Because that’s what it feels like.

What do you say if you realize your joke upset someone? Apologize as briefly and as sincerely as you can, and hope that someone changes the subject. Try saying: “I’m sorry. I should have known better” or “I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking.”

What do you do if people don’t get your joke or don’t appear to find it as funny as you do? First, do not retell it, only louder this time, hoping the point of the joke will be seen. Second, don’t try to push people to get it. People do not like people whose jokes they don’t understand. They feel stupid and need to blame someone. If you want to leave with the goodwill of your listeners, say something to make them feel less foolish. You could say: “I don’t know why I tell jokes when I’m so poor at it.”

The world needs laughter, and good humour is a success wherever it goes, so this caveat (告诫) about joke-telling is not meant to dampen high spirits or to advocate dull conversation. If you’re a gifted story-teller and you know people love your jokes, go for it. We need your kind. The rest of us will save our jokes for family and close friends.

1.According to the passage, it might be appropriate for you to tell a joke at a business or social gathering if ______.

A. the joke is well chosen

B. you have complete confidence in your listeners’ sense of humor

C. only you and your best friend are involved in the conversation

D. the audience consists of your colleagues and acquaintances

2.Why do some jokes fail to work?

A. Because the punchline is too long to catch.

B. Because the joke-teller uses wrong words and expressions.

C. Because the joke-teller and listeners don’t share the same background knowledge.

D. Because the jokes are not properly translated into the listeners’ native language.

3.How will people feel when they are joked about?

A. They will feel happy if the joke is a pleasant one.

B. They will be upset no matter what kind of joke it is.

C. They will enjoy the joke when realizing that people are not laughing at them.

D. They will panic because it makes them the center of attention.

4.When people do not understand a joke they hear, they tend to ______.

A. believe it’s the joke-teller’s fault B. get someone to retell the joke

C. ask for explanation D. say something foolish

5.Which of the following best describes the writer’s opinion on joke-telling?

A. Nobody knows what makes a joke funny.

B. We should not tell jokes unless we are asked to do so.

C. Joke-telling is a very complex thing.

D. Jokes should be told only to friends and family members.
