Traveling by train is usually not easy in China. It can be hard to get a ticket. When you’re traveling to the railway station, you look at your watch, for you are afraid you will miss your train.
But there is good news for people traveling between Beijing and Shanghai. Construction (建設(shè)) on the express railway (高速鐵路) between the two cities started just before the Spring Festival of 2008. When it is finished by 2013, taking a train will be as easy as taking a bus.
“There will be trains every several minutes. Buying a ticket, getting through the checkpoint (檢查站) and taking your seat, will take just 10 minutes,” said an engineer.
There may be high-speed trains running at 350 kilometers an hour. The travel time between the two cities will decrease from 10 to about 5 hours. The trains will carry twice the present number of passengers.
The new line will be 1,318 kilometers long and go across specially built bridges. It will run along side the present line. There will be 21 stations in Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.
“The cost of traveling by the express railway may be around 800 yuan. That will be more expensive than an ordinary train, but cheaper than by air.” Said Zhang Xiaoling, a Jiangsu government official.
According to Zhang, the higher price is caused by the large cost of the railway project. At about 200 billion yuan, the project may be even more expensive than the Three Gorges Project (三峽工程).

A．a(chǎn)t the end of this yearB．before the Spring Festival of 2008

What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler…, and don’t forget a bottle of water!
According to a study at the British Psychological ( 心理學的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.
Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, UK, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees (學歷) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.
It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety ( 焦慮), which has a bad effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.
“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you.Who knows – it may help you pass the exam!
小題1:How much may the students improve their grades most if they bring water into exams?
A．By2%. B．By8%.

小題2:How many students in the study got better grades?
A．About112 students who brought drinks or water into their exams.
B．All the447 students who come from the University of East London.
C．About300 students who took part in the study.
D．About10 percent of the students who studied different subjects.
小題3:The underlined phrase “cut down on” probably means _______.
A．increaseB．bring
C．reduce D．change
小題4:According to the passage, how does water help students in exams?
a. It is good for their brains.
b. It makes students smarter.
c. It helps students stay cool.
d. It helps students stay awake.
A．a(chǎn) bB．a(chǎn) c

Astronauts, people who fly into space, need special training. First they go to Houston, Texas. That is the home of the Johnson Space Centre. There they are tested to see how strong and smart they are.
One of the first tests is for the heart. The people walk or run, then the space doctors see how fast their hearts are beating.
Another important test is performed. In this test the person must curl（蜷曲）his body up in a ball. When he is in that position, he is put into a round cloth bag. The doctors give him no idea how long he will have to stay in the bag. If a spaceship broke down in space, the astronauts would get into bags like this. Then they would have to wait and curl up in darkness, until help could arrive. You can see that an astronaut must not be afraid of tight space or darkness.
After the tests, only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training centre. The astronauts in training learn many other things. They learn how to jump out of a moving airplane. They learn to how to blow up a lifeboat and get into it while they are in the ocean. The astronauts also have to learn how to get lifted out of the ocean by helicopter（直升機）. That may look fun, but it can be dangerous.
After they finish training, the astronauts continue to work. They stay in good shape by running and doing exercise. They read about their special jobs. In that way they can learn new facts about space travel.
Then the big day comes. The astronaut is told to go to work on a flight into space. The crew members（全體船員）get to know each other first. Then they can learn which job each will do.
小題1:The astronauts don’t know how long they will stay in the bag in the test because ________________.
A．the doctors need to know how strong they are
B．the astronauts need to show how smart they are
C．good astronauts mustn’t be afraid of darkness or tight space
D．nobody knows when help will come if the spaceship breaks down
小題2:The astronauts don’t learn how to ________________ in the training centre.
A．walk or run in spaceB．jump out of the moving plane
C．blow up a lifeboatD．get lifted out of water by helicopter
小題3:Which is the correct order according to the passage?
a. Doctors do tests on the astronauts.
b. The astronauts go to the Space Centre.
c. The astronauts learn new facts about space travel.
d. The best people are chosen for training.
e. The astronauts go to work on a flight into space.
A．a(chǎn), b, c, d, eB．d, a, e, b, cC．b, a, d, c, eD．c, d, e, b, a
小題4:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．After the tests, only the best people are chosen to start astronaut training in a training centre.
B．The crew members get to know each other after the tests.
C．One of the first tests is for the heart.
