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 Xinjiangs development. All passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link, leaving the old one to be used for goods. As a result, Xinjiangs 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 projects management department in Xinjiang.5 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 24 hours. D. About 18 hours.6Whats 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 Xinjiangs development.7From the passage we can learn _.A. Xinjiangs annual goods ability can increase nearly four timesB. the high speed railway lines cant be built across the bone dry sandsC. the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroadD. the old railway lines can only carry goods now8Which 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. Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to Lanzhou.C. The new high speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.D. Businessmen seldom went home for Spring Festival before.CYour body, which had close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养). The old saying “ An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not as silly as some people think.The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamin in pill form (丸剂），believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesnt need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them?In the modern western world, many people are too busy to eat properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eatin
