Over the past 50 years, it turns out that high-speed trains are not just reducing journey times. but most importantly, it's driving economic growth, creating job opportunities and bringing communities closer together.
Although Japan started the trend with its Shinkansen “Bullet Trains” in 1964, it was the coming of France's TGV in the early 1980 s that really promoted a global high-speed train revolution that continued to speed up. China has built around 42,000 kilometers of high-speed railways since 2008 and plans to top 70, 000 kilometers by 2035.
But the United States detoured the revolution. For the rich and economically successful nation on the planet, with an increasingly urbanized population of more than 300 million, it is increasingly difficult to give a good reason. Cars and airplanes have dominated long-distance travel in the United States since the 1950 s. Now Americans still almost entirely depend on crowded highways or airline networks that are easy to collapse.
“Many Americans have no concept of high-speed rail and fail to see its value,” says William C. Vantuono, editor-in-chief of Railway Age, North America's oldest railroad industry publication.
“It's logical that the United States hasn't yet developed a nationwide high-speed network.” says Scott Sherin, chief commercial officer of train builder Alstom's US division. “For decades, traveling by car wasn't a hardship, but as highway congestion （堵塞） gets worse, we've reached a stage where we should start looking more seriously for the alternative.”
“The magic numbers are centers of population with around three million people that are 200 to 500 miles apart. Giving a trip time of less than three hours — preferable two hours. Where those conditions apply in Europe and Asia. High-speed rail reduced air's share of the market from 100 % to near zero. The model would work just as well in the USA as it does globally,” adds Scott Sherin.
28. What is paragraph I mainly about
A. The value of high-speed trains. B. The growth of high-speed trains.
C. The hardship of high-speed trains. D. The revolution of high-speed trains.
29. What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A. To introduce a new topic. B. To give a possible explanation.
C. To define a meaning. D. To draw a comparison.
30. What does the underlined word “detoured” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Didn't protest. B. Didn't change.
C. Didn't get involved in. D. Didn't give up.
31. What does Scott Sherin think of the United States developing high-speed trains
A. It should be flexible. B. It should be cautious.
C. It is losing its market share. D. It is developing high-speed rail.
D
Sleep is widely recognized as one of life ' necessary processes. But do you know that sleepless nights can also lead to selfish behavior Insufficient sleep affects how likely a person is to help someone, according to new research published in the journal plots Biology.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, conducted three studies looking at this “selfish” effect, analyzing changes in neutral（神经系统的） activity and behavior that benefit others, and found it was common even after a small loss of sleep.
Research scientists Eti Ben Simon and Matt hew Walker told that this finding was most surprising. “Even if we only sleep one less, it is enough to influence the choice to help another and hit our natural human kindness and our motivation to help other people in need,” said Ben Simon.
In the first study, by looking at a database of 3 million charitable donations between 2001 and 2016, Eti Ben Simon, Matt hew Walker and their colleague saw a 10 % drop in donations following Daylight Saving Time. This drop was not seen in states that don't follow the one-hour forward. In the second study, the researchers looked at the brain activity of 24 people after eight hours of sleep and after a night of no sleep. The areas of the brain associated with theory of mind were less active after sleep loss, this study found, In the third study, which measured the sleep of more than 100 people across three to four nights, researchers unexpectedly found that sleep quantity and quality both typically influenced emotional and social behavior. “These findings could suggest that once sleep time rises above some basic amount. sleep quality is the most critical factor that influences desire to help other people.” Dr. lvana Rosengweig, a sleep physician said.
Ben Simon and Walker hope their res c arch will allow people to regain a full night of sleep if necessary. “Sleep loss fundament ally changes the way we are social and emotional creatures.” Walker said.
32. What will happen if people lack sleep according to new research
A. It makes them kind and motivated. B. It will cause damage to their health.
C. It will increase the possibility of helping others D. It may discourage them from doing good deeds.
33. What can we know about the first study from the text
A. It was based on a database from advertisers. B. It focused on the donation behavior of people.
C. It saw a 10% drop in donations in all states. D. It discovered the brain less active after sleep loss.
34. How is the text organized
A. Hypothetical-Real. B. Phenomenon-Analysis. C. General-Particular. D. Cause-Effect.
35. What can be the best title of the text
A. Three Important Studies B. A Delightful Finding about Sleep Loss
C. The Less Sleep, the More Selfish D. Sleep Quality or Sleep Quantity Matters More

For almost every morning, the sun rose to greet the day and the birds sang its songs outside an upstairs window of the house. Inside, Jeff and Jenna would wake up.
Usually, the brother and sister got along very well. They took turns nicely with the bathroom. They said “please” and “thank you” at breakfast. They often sat together on the school bus. Afterschool they worked together happily on their special project—their own backyard house.
But one gray morning they didn’t get along well at all! Maybe it was the weather, or maybe the birds slept late. But whatever it was, they got into an angry argument.
Jenna opened her eyes and stretched. Then she sat up and let her legs dangle （悬挂） over the edge of herbed—right in Jeff's face. She didn't mean it. It was just one of those things that happens with a bunkbed （双层床）.
That morning Jeff was not in a very good mood.
“Jenna!” he shouted. “Get your silly feet out of my face!”
“My feet aren't silly, and they're not in your face!” she shouted back.
Before Jeff could answer, she skipped into the bathroom ahead of him. She took a very longtime brushing her teeth, washing up, and combing her hair.
“You'd better come out of that bathroom!” shouted Jeff, banging （猛敲） on the door.
“Jeff, ”said Mama, coming out of her bedroom, “you know better than to shout at your sister.”
“But she's taking too long in the bathroom,” complained Jeff. “And she's doing it on purpose!”
When Jeff banged on the door again, it opened and out came Jenna, all dressed up.
“Good morning, Mama,” she said, taking no notice of Jeff at all.
