but its not that unrealistic, with the development of chinas high-speed railway system. and thats not all. china has an even greater high-speed railway planto 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 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 throughrussia and then into western europe. 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 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) , 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 counties 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, such 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 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. 67. chinas new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because _. a. china will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions b. china and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways c. china will develop its railway system and communication with other countries d. the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism 68. according to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is _. a. technical issues b. safety of the system c. financial problemsd. maintenance of railway tracks69. which of the following words best describes the authors attitude towards chinas high-speed railway plan? a. critical b. reserved c. doubtful d. positive 70. which of the following might be the best title for the passage? a. new railway standards b. big railway dreams c. high-speed bullet trainsd. international railway network people from east asia tend to have more difficulty than those from europe in distinguishing facial expressionsand a new report published online in current biology explains why. rachael jack, university of glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as westerners do, easterners fix their attention on the eyes. we show that easterners and westerners look at different face features to read measure, whereas easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth. according to jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human , facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. the researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 western caucasian and 13 east how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. it turned out that easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did westerners. the cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions, jack said. our data suggest that whereas westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.in short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. from here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, easterners and westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 66. the discovery shows that westerners . a. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth b. consider facial expressions universally reliable c. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways d. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions 67. what were the people asked to do in the study?a. to make a face at each other. b. to get their faces impressive. c. to classify some face pictures
