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 highspeed railway system.And thats not all.China has an even greater highspeed railway planto connect the country with Southeast Asia，and eventually Eastern Europe.China is negotiating to extend its own highspeed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore.China has proposed 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 Europe.If Chinas plan for the highspeed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.The new system would still follow Chinas highspeed railway standard.And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour，almost as fast as some airplanes.Chinas bullet train(高速客车)，the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou，already has the worlds fastest average speed.It covers 1069 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)，maintenance 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.Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.Itll be a winwin 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，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some muchneeded 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 highspeed 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.1Chinas new highspeed railway plan will be a winwin project because _.AChina will get muchneeded resources and develop its western regionsBChina and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysCChina will develop its railway system and communication with other countriesDthe foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation，business and tourism2According to the passage，the greatest challenge to the new highspeed railway plan is _.Atechnical issuesBsafety of the
