  Traveling by train is usually not easy in China.It can be hard to get a ticket.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).

  Many people know him because he often shows up in the street collecting rubbish.“Huangshi is my home so I hope it becomes cleaner and more beautiful,” says Rothey.He has also organized volunteers to collect rubbish in other cities, including Wuhan.

  Rothey says he’ll continue collecting rubbish, as long as he is able to.

How to deal with homesickness

  When you sleep somewhere else, like at a summer camp or a friend's house, you know you're there for a fun time.But for some kids, when they are away from home they feel sad.They start to miss their own beds, their own parents, and all the things at home.It's called being homesick(想家的).Do you want to feel less homesick? Here's how:

  Spend more time in doing fun things.The more fun things you do, the less time you'll have to feel homesick.So try to take part in activities and soon you might start to have a good time.

  You can make a plan to call your mum or dad.For a night visit, maybe you can call once that night, and again in the morning.In the camp, you might set a regular day and time for a phone call home.You can also send e-mails or short messages to keep in touch(保持联系)with family and friends.If you’re going to be away for a while, you might even write a letter! When you get in touch with someone, make sure to tell them the fun things you’re doing!

  Sometimes, just tell someone that you’re feeling homesick.This will help you feel better, Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick.And the two of you can do something fun, such as telling jocks.If you’re at camp, a camp counselor(顾问)would be a good person to talk to.He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better.
