When you’re traveling to the railway station you look at your watch, afraid you will miss your train.But there is good news for people traveling between Beijing and Shanghai. Construction (建设) on the express railway (高速铁路) between the two cities started just before the Spring Festival of 2008. When it is finished by 2013, taking a train will be as easy as taking a bus.“There will be trains every several minutes. Buying a ticket, getting through the checkpoint (检查站) and taking your seat, will take just 10 minutes,” said an engineer.There may be high-speed trains running at 350 kilometers an hour. The travel time between the two cities will decease from 10 to about 5 hours. The trains will carry twice the present number of passengers.The new line will be 1,318 kilometers long and go across specially built bridges. It will run along side the present line. There will be 21 stations in Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu.“The cost of traveling by the express railway may be around 800 yuan. That will be more expensive than an ordinary train, but cheaper than by air.” Said Zhang Xiaoling, a Jiangsu government official.According to Zhang, the higher price is caused by the large cost of the railway project. At about 200 billion yuan, the project may be even more expensive than the Three Gorges Project (三峡工程).46.

The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.Make escape (逃脱) plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. Part of the plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can be opened easily.Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:＊Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow more quickly if you open the door.＊Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire; the best air is near the floor because smoke rises.＊What will you do if you hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster because of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. They roll! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire that may still be on you.There are many possible causes for firs. A wise family is ready all the time.

They was a woman lived there, and I had never met her, yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself. “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看见). Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I wanted to judge (评判) someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.56.

2013中考英语试题及答案各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢2013中考英语试题及答案2013年中考英语精品复习资料阅读理解篇（二）议论文（6）A famous study was done in a school by a professor(教授) from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what? At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’attitude(态度)．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them．And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．Do you know? If you expect the best from people，they’ll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，“Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you’ll make him even worse．But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be．”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naug htiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class．I’m sure you’ll never change．”The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Jo hnny，I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it．”And everyday after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader．Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children．根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for peopleto talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.41．Chengdu has the best teahouses in China because _____.A．the serving of the teahouses in Chengdu is very specialB．there are many people in ChengduteahousesC．there are many old men in ChengduteahousesD．the cups in Chengduteahouses are old42．People in Chengdu’s teahouses may _____ while they are drinking according to the passage.A．enjoy interesting stories B．watch moviesC．listen to Beijing Opera D．quarrel in loud voice43．Who will pay for the tea after the mediator solve some problems?A．The mediator himself B．The person who caused the problem C．All the persons in the teahouse D．The owner of the teahouse 44．This passage is taken from some newspaper.

You probably know the rulesof a library. You know you should respect and be nice toyour classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of yourmusic. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the w ords of the song. They just hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules,but i t would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to liste n to your MP3 player at event. Why would you listento music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not ot her. Imagine you are listening to your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 Players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you. ( )46.

Every day after school, Tian went back to the small house to cook for his mother.Looking after his mother takes up a lot of Tian’s time and energy, but he still does well in school.
