Lamu was a 12-year-old Tibetan girl. She wanted to go to Beijing to watch the 2008 Olympics. Only one month ago, Lamu still thought it would be difficult.

In the past Tibet had no railroad (铁路). If Lamu took a bus, it would take her a long time to reach Beijing. And a plane ticket would cost lots of money.

However, things changed for Lamu. She was able to buy a ticket to the world’s highest railroad. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway had been completed! The 1,142-kilometer railroad runs on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau (高原). Lamu could reach Beijing by train in 48 hours!

About 550 kilometers of the railroad are constructed on the frozen earth (冻土). When the frozen earth warms in summer, it can move the track. But Chinese scientists have built a special structure to solve the problem. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway has been designed with the wild animals in the designers’ minds. It also has special underpasses (地下通道) for animals like Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) to go through.

“The new railroad greatly helps Tibet’s tourism,”said Liu Yueqin, an expert at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (中国社科院).

As more tourists take trains to Tibet, there are more money for Tibetans. With the money, more kids can go to school.

The railroad also makes things less expensive in Tibet. Now one can buy a TV set for about 1,500 yuan. It used to be much higher than that price. When there was no railroad, it had been difficult to send things in and out of Tibet. With the new railroad, shopping can be more convenient (方便的) and faster.

1.The special underpasses are _____ to go through.

A. only for Tibet’s antelopes

B. for Tibet’s tourism

C. for animals

D. for Tibetans

2.Which of the following about the Qinghai-Tibet Railway is TRUE?

A. It is not the highest railroad in the world.

B. It’s the longest railroad in the world.

C. Scientists have no way to solve the problem of the frozen earth.

D. Wild animals have special underpasses to go through.

3.After the new railroad was completed _____.

A. everyone could buy a cheaper TV set

B. Tibetans can do business in and out of Tibet and develop their tourism

C. more and more people could fly to Tibet as soon as possible

D. more and more animals would be killed by people

4. Before the railroad was finished, _____.

A. all Tibetan children could go to school

B. the transportation in Tibet was convenient and fast, too

C. it was hard for Tibetans to buy and sell things in and out of Tibet

D. the Tibetans had never walked out of Tibet

5.The best title (标题) of the passage is “_____”.

A. Something about a 12-year-old Tibetan Girl

B. Reaching Beijing from Tibet by Train in Forty-eight Hours

C. High-tech (高科技) Brings the Tibetans Happiness

D. The Railway Puts Tibet Closer

Stay Home Studying

17-year-old Liu Yu was a high school student in China. She planned to go back to school on Feb 17 to prepare for the 2020 college entrance examination（高考）. However, the Ministry of Education（教育部）told people in late January that the spring term for all schools would be put off because of the serious disease（疾病）in China. So Liu Yu, like all the others students, had to stay at home.

However, Liu and her classmates didn’t fell behind their plans and began studying full-time again – only from home. It may have become the largest online teaching experiment the country has ever seen.

To go with students’ new learning environment, a “cloud platform（云平台）” was started using on Feb 17. It provided students with education resources（资源） covering all school subjects. But some students had difficulty going to the website or using smart phones. A TV channel by China Education Television started airing classes on Feb 17. So students could have classes and study online or on TV at home.

But the online platform and TV channel don’t just offer school knowledge. Students can also learn how to protect themselves from the disease and psychological（心理的）health during this period, according to the Ministry of Education.

For some students, the chance to study from home has had some unexpected benefits. Yuan Siyi, who lives in Hubei province, used to get up before 6 am on school days, but since starting online courses, she got more hours of sleep every morning. “I like online teaching because I have more freedom at home,” Yuan told TEENS. She began her all-day courses on Feb 3.

However, online teaching and learning has its weaknesses compared to studying in a traditional classroom. “My motivation（动力）to study is stronger when my classmates are around me and all working very hard,” Yuan said.

According to the Ministry of Education, online courses are just a short-time way of learning during the disease. When the new term begins, schools will no longer use online classes instead of classroom teaching.

1.When did Liu Yu plan to go back to school?

2.Did Liu Yu begin her full-time study from home?

3.How did students have classes and study at home?

4.What can students learn except school knowledge during this period?

5.What is Paragraph 5 and 6 mainly about?
