What do you read when you travelling by train...

What do you read when you travelling by train? What about other passengers? Perhaps a woman 1.(sit) near you is reading a romantic novel. A man is reading a serious biography about a politician. And there’s a student reading an English textbook.

What do their2.(choice) say about them? Do you judge them by 3.they are reading? I have to tell you that your impressions of them may be 4.(complete) wrong. The woman reading the romantic novel could be a 5.(law). She just wants a light read to take her mind off work. The man reading the biography wants you6.(consider) him knowledgeable, and he is just 7.(show)off. The student reading the textbook isn’t a student at all. She’s an English teacher.

Publishers know people are 8. (concern) about what they read on public transport and put out different versions (版本) of a cover. For example, books about Harry Potter have an 9. (interest) cover for young readers and then another more serious version for adults.

So next time you see what other people are reading on a train don’t jump to any conclusions.

Here is a situation 10. you could say, "Don't judge a book by its cover.”

If you want to travel from Xi’an to Chengdu by train, it will take about 16 hours. But starting this month, the new Xi’an-Chengdu high-speed railway will shorten this travel time to three hours.

The 643-kilometer line is China’s first high-speed railway to run through the Qinling Mountains, which form a natural boundary (分界线) between China’s north and south. With a speed of 250 km per hour, it’s also the first mountain-heavy train line to provide a 4G network. Along the way, the train passes through two areas for rare (稀有) wild animals — one for pandas and the other for crested ibises (朱鹮).

To reduce the railway’s influence on the animals, workers and experts have designed and built the railway to be environmentally friendly. There were 345 wild pandas living in the Qinling Mountains. China currently has 1,864 wild pandas in total, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

To avoid disturbing the pandas, the railway was designed to run through tunnels (隧道) within the area. Protective shields (防护屏) are placed near the entrance of each tunnel to stop animals from going in.

To protect the thousands of crested ibises that fly near one part of the railway, protective nets have been set up to make sure the birds will not fly into a train.

The nets are about 32 km long and 4 meters high. Experts tested different shapes and materials for building the nets before making their final choice.

1.From this month, it will take ________ to travel from Xi’an to Chengdu by the high speed train.

A. 16 hours　　 B. 13 hours　　 C. 3 hours　　 D. 1 hour

2.Which of the following is TRUE about the new Xi’an-Chengdu railway?

A. It is China’s first high-speed railway.

B. It runs through the Qinling Mountains.

C. It is the best mountain-heavy train line.

D. The train passes through many areas for rare wild animals.

3.Why did people build the railway to be environmentally friendly?

A. To save money and energy.　　 B. To avoid damaging the mountains.

C. To avoid harming wild animals.　　 D. To help the train run through tunnels quietly.

4.What are experts using to stop birds from flying into the train?

A. Tunnels.　　 B. Tracks.　　 C. Protective shields.　　 D. Protective nets.

5.What is the passage about?

A. Xi’an Chengdu high-speed railway.　　 B. How to protect pandas and crested ibises.

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an icecream taster?

Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste icecream. Just ask John Harrison, an "Official Taste Tester" for the past few years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product's quality. During his career, Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet icecream——as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道). Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like icecream, right? No, there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or foodscience degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this "cool" field.

In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 icecream samples. He lets the icecream warm up to about 12℃. Harrison explains, "You get more flavor from warmer icecream, which is why some kids like to stir（搅拌）it, creating icecream soup."

While the icecream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. "Tasting begins with the eyes," he explains. He checks to see if the icecream is attractive and asks himself, "Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?" Next it's time to taste!

Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of icecream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy-working "cool".
