Parents can help youTeachers can help youOthers can help youBut all these only help you to help yourselfThere have been many great men in historyBut many of them were very poor in child

11、hood and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help themSchools were few and not very goodThey could not depend on them for educationThey saw how it was , and set to work with all their strength to know somethingThey worked their own way till they became well-knownOne of the most famous teachers in Eng

12、land used to tell his pupils ,“ I can not make worthy of you ,but I can help make men of yourselves”Some young men do not try their best to make themselves valuable to the human beingsThey can never gain achievement unless they see their weak-points and change their courseThey are nothing now ,and w

16、tting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner there. Sounds unusual, doesnt it? But its not that unrealistic, with the development of Chinas high-speed railway system. And t

17、hats not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan-to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe. China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore. China has pr

18、oposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Euro

19、pe. If Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days. The new system would still follow Chinas high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes. Chinas bullet

20、 train (高速客车), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the worlds fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours. Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge (轨距), maintena

21、nce(维护) of railway tracks. So, its important to pay attention to every detail. But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on domestic railway expansion. China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment.

22、 Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development. Itll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries. For China, suc

23、h a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also help develop Chinas far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed

24、trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And theyll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries. 25. Chinas new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because _. A. China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regi

25、ons B. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism C. China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries D. China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways26. According to the passage, the gre

26、atest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is_. A. financial problems B. safety of the systemC. technical issues D. maintenance of railway tracks27. Which of the following words best describes the authors attitude towards Chinas high-speed railway plan? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Doubtful

28、at are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of

29、a destination（目的地）country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well- being ( health and happiness )of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people m

30、ust leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countys economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough , people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels , airports, air terminals, first

31、-class roads, and other support facilities（设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.
