Brendan ObrienCThe new high speed railway line between Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur self-governing region, and Lanzhou, capital of Gansu Province, has cut train travel time by half to less than 12 hours.The dramatic improvement will benefit many families planning reunions for the Spring Festival. “For the first time, I feel home is not that far away after all.” said Liang Shaofu as he boarded a high speed train in Urumqi with six members of his family.The 35 year old left Lanzhou to set up a dry fruit business in Xinjiang eight years ago, and he has now settled in Urumqi.The 1,776 km line, which passes through Qinghai province and is the countrys first high speed railway built in a high altitude region, came into service on Dec 26.“We normally drive home for the Spring Festival to avoid the difficulties of buying seven train tickets for the whole family during the peak season,” Liang Shaofu said. “Driving can be very tiring and dangerous sometimes, so one year we even decided not to go back to Lanzhou simply to avoid the trip.”More than 600,000 passengers traveled on the line during its first month, and the Urumqi Railway Bureau said that the introduction of high speed services will ease transport pressure during the Spring Festival peak season.The existing usual railway line could no longer support Xinjiangs development. All the passenger trains will gradually shift to the new link, leaving the old ones to be used for goods. As a result, Xinjiangs annual goods ability can reach 200 million metric tons from the current 70 million.The line passes through areas with experience high winds and it also crosses parts of the deserted Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the bone dry sands of the Gobi Desert.The project could help China to promote its high speed railway technology abroad, said Ma Xizhang, director of the Lanzhou Xinjiang railway projects management department in Xinjiang.28. How long did it take to go from Urumqi to Lanzhou by the usual train before?A. about 12 hours.B. About 6 hours.C. About 18 hours.D. About 24 hours.29. Whats the main advantage of the new high speed railway?A. It takes more time to go to Urumqi to LanzhouB. It helps to improve Xinjiangs developmentC. All the people in Lanzhou can return home on festivalsD. It will be more convenient for people all over the country to Xinjiang.30. From the passage we can learn _.A. Xinjiangs annual goods ability can increase nearly four timesB. the high speed railway lines cant be built across the bone dry sandsC. the new railway technology may help more railway lines to be built abroadD. the old railway lines can only carry goods now31. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Taking the new train is safer than driving home from Urumqi to LanzhouB. The new high speed railway line benefits businessmen to carry goods.C. The new high speed railway line is good for all people to go home.D. Businessmen seldom went home for the Spring Festival before.DWhy do people feel so rushed? Part of this is a perception（认知）problem. Generally, people in rich countries have more free time then they used to. This is particularly true in Europe, and even in America free times has been inching up. Womens paid work has risen a lot over this period, but their time in unpaid work, like cooking and cleaning, has fallen even more significantly, thanks in part to dishwashers, washing machines and microwaves, and also to the fact that man shift themselves a little more around the house than they used to.The problem is less how much time people have than how they see it. Since a clock was first used at a workplace to record labor hours in the 18th century, time has been understood in relation to money. Once hours are financially quantified（量化）, people worry more about wasting, but tend to save or use them more profitably. When economies grow and ines rise, everyones time bees more valuable. And the more valuable something bees, the rarer it seems.Once seeing their time in terms of money, people often grow stingy with the former to maximize the latter. Workers who are paid by the hour volunteer less of their time and ten to feel more upset when they are not working.The relationship between time, money and anxiety is something Gary Becker noticed in Americas post-war boom years. “If anything, time is used more carefully today than a century ago,” he noted in 1965. He found that when people are paid more to work, they tend to work longer hours, because working bees a more profitable use of time. So the rising value of work time puts pressure on all time. Leisure time starts to seem more stressful, as people are forced to use it wisely or not at all.32. Womens time in unpaid work has fallen partly because _.A. mens ability to support a family has been improvedB. mens involvement in housework has increasedC. womens leisure time was taken up by heavy houseworkD. women bee more skilled at household equipment33. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Labor hours were recorded with a clockB. People havent realized the value of timeC. More work hours bring in more moneyD. The rise of ines makes time less valuable34. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “grow stingy with”?A. refuse to delayB. intend to wasteC. try to accumulateD. hesitate to spend35. According to Gary Becker, what causes people to feel anxious about time?A. The wrong way of time being spent.B. Peoples willingness to work hard.C. The increasing value of work time.D. More and more leisure time.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Always wanted to appear in the moviebut dont want a major role?
