The world’s longest high-speed rail line goes through half of China. It began on December 26, 2012.To celebrate the opening of the 2,298 kilometers line, two trains departed（出发） from stations in Beijing and Guangzhou at 9 a.m. and 10 a.m..
Running at an average（平均） speed of 300 kilometers an hour, the new route cuts travel time between Beijing and Guangzhou from over 20 hours to about eight . 155 pairs of trains run on the new line every day. And there will still be 183 pairs of trains running daily on the old Beijing—Guangzhou line. We know that the new line will increase passengers’(乘客) travel costs. If you go from Beijing to Guangzhou, a first-class seat on the new high-speed line will cost 1,383 yuan, and a second-class seat will cost 865 yuan.
Chen Yabing is one of the architects(设计师). He said that the new line is one of the four north-south lines, and it is important for the country’s high-speed railway network, which also features(起主要作用)four east-west lines. With the opening of the Beijing—Guangzhou high-speed line, China now has more than 9,300 kilometers of high-speed rails .
The new line is the world’s longest operation mileage(营运里程)high-speed railway. It is also one of the great wonders of China.

Trees are useful to man in three important ways.
The first important way is that they provide(提供) man with food, wood and the other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees many animals could not live on the earth. It’s not easy for man to live on the earth, either.
The second important way is that trees give us shade(阴凉). On a hot summer day, people are eager(渴望) to have a rest under the tree after they have a long walk. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and animals.
The third important way is that trees help to prevent droughts and floods(防止干旱和洪水). However, in many parts of the world, man hasn’t realized the third way. They were cutting trees down in large numbers. In the end they find that they have lost the best friends they had.

We have a two-day holiday every week. We don’t have any lessons on Saturdays or Sundays, so every weekend I have a good time.
On weekends, I like taking a trip. I sometimes go to the country with my classmates by bus to breathe(呼吸)the fresh air, watch the green hills and the blue sea, and walk in the beauty of the countryside. Sometimes I go for a picnic in the open air with my friends by bike. There we draw many pictures and take photos. Sometimes I go to visit a place of interest with my parents by car.
Sometimes on Saturdays, I take a long trip with my parents. We don’t go home at night and make a fire on the hill. We sit around it, singing and dancing happily. If we feel tired, we get together, look at the stars and chat for a long time, and then sleep for a few hours.
My weekends are always full of interest and happiness.
