28、a couple of hours, and then, after a full day of work, going back home to Beijing and having dinner thereSounds unusual, doesnt it? But its not that unrealistic, with the development of Chinas high-speed railway system. And thats not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect

30、pore via Vietnam and Malaysia Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to GermanyThe third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western EuropeIf Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from
31、 London to Beijing in under two daysThe new system would still follow Chinas high-speed railway standard.

32、speed.

So，its important to pay attention to every detailBut the key issue is reall
33、y money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of Yuan on domestic railway expansionChina prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain developmentItll be a win-win project. Fo
34、r other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countriesFor China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources, but would also h
35、elp develop Chinas far westWe foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions，where the land is empty and resources unused.

39、-speed Bullet Trains D.

In Hong Kong, men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basi
40、sIn many fields men are even likely to have female bosses. It is, therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together, go to school together, and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separationSome would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite
41、 sex is important for personal developmentRegular contact can remove the strange ideas about the opposite sex and lead to more natural relationships. Single-sex conditions are seen as leading to more extreme opinions, and possibly even as encouraging homosexuality(同性恋 ), though there is no proof tha
42、t this is the case.Those who are against co-education often also fix their attention on the sexual side. Some parents fear that close contact with members of the opposite sex is dangerous for teenagers. They want their children to be attentive to their studies. Such parents feel uncomfortable with m
43、odern ways and the free mixing of the sexes.A stronger argument comes from research into school results. Girls grow up earlier than boys, tend to be more orderly and are likely to be better at 10languages. In a mixed class, boys who might do well in a single-sex class become discouraged and take on
44、the role of troublemaker. Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex classes. In the UK the best schools are all single-sex, strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best answer. This may, howe
45、ver, not be as simple as it looks. It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex, rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.33.
