About seven percent of the world’s 86 goes through the canal. Many ships also carry things like coffee, clothing and so on through this way. 87 the canal stops working, it may cause the price of things to rise.
That’s why a blockage（堵塞）in the Suez Canal in March made the whole world 88 . The ship Ever Given got blocked because of strong winds in the canal for six days. The 89 kept at least 422 ships waiting along the canal, Xinhua reported.

At weekends, people 98 most of their time washing and waxing(打蜡)their cars. For some families, one car is not enough. They often have two 99 even three. Husbands need cars to go to work.

High-speed railways have greatly changed people’s lives in recent years. More and more Chinese people would like to travel from one city to 101 by high-speed train. Many young people even choose to live a “twins life”—living in a quiet city 102 working in a busy and modern city.
“I had my first chance to take the high-speed train last week when I had a business meeting in Beijing,” John said. As somebody who disliked public transport all the time in the US, John was 103 about his travelling experience at first. But later he was really amazed at China’s high-speed trains after 104 in Beijing.
“Trains in China are clean and the seats are very huge. I can’t even 105 how fast the train is moving,” John told us. If there were no windows, most people wouldn’t be able to tell when we 106 or when we were travelling at 300 km/h. Yes, it is so smooth. Even a coin can keep its balance (平衡) on the train. 107 , you can enjoy nice food and drinks on the train. Compared with (与……对比) other kinds of public transport, high-speed rail means the least noise and 108 . So, besides providing fast and enjoyable services ( 服 务 ) for people, it can also protect the environment. Maybe this is the reason why the Chinese government has 109 building its railway all the time. It is reported that a new type of “flying train”, which can run at 4,000 km/h, is on the way. If the train is completed, with its 110 five times faster than that of a plane, it will change the whole world’s travel mode.
Just imagine one picture: you close your eyes as soon as you get on the train. After taking a short rest and waking up, congratulate: welcome to China!
