Para 1：
In the distance, a white bullet-nosed train is thundering down the track. It grows larger by the second until it eventually slows and glides past the lines of waiting passengers. As it eases to a stop, its doors open with a hiss and the passengers board with eager anticipation. Then the doors close and the train departs exactly on time, its progress barely noticed as it quickly and silently gathers speed. Seated comfortably in the well-equipped, spacious carriages, the passengers know that their journey ahead will be both effortless and relaxing.

Such scenes of contented passengers being transported swiftly to their destinations are repeated many times a day all over China, as far as the high-speed rail(HSR) network extends. Since 2008, the HSR network has transported over 10 billion passengers, setting a world record. There are now more than 7,000 high-speed trains running daily, some reaching speeds of up to 350 kilometres per hour, the fastest in the world of train transport. The HSE network has an overall length of around 40,000 kilometres in operation, covering almost all provincial-level regions of China. It not only greatly enhances the national railroad's efficiency, but also serves as the engine that keeps the country's economy lifeblood flowing.
Why does the author use figures in para 2
By citing figures, the author wants to showcase the HSR network’s quick development and high quality. The HSR network indicates how modern and technologically advanced China’s transport infrastructure is, as well as the level of its economy.

How do you understand “‘China Standard’ has become the ‘World Standard’” in paragraph 5
China is rightly considered the world leader in HSR construction and boasts the first smart high-speed railway. Besides, developed and manufactured totally by China, the EMU train demonstrates technical skill in HSR design and construction. The HSR network has become a new symbol of China. China has exported technology and skills to many countries in the world. China’s HSR network is leading the world not only in technology and equipment, but also in service. The integration of the HSR network and the Internet brings great convenience and comfort to the passengers on board. Therefore, “China Standard” has become the “World Standard”.
