31．　　China now has more than 30, 000 kilometers of high speed track, and this is expected to increase to 38, 000 kilometers by 2025. Fully two thirds of the world's high speed rail (by length) is in China. Here, we track the exciting technological developments in high speed rail and consider their cultural influence.
　　While the main advantage of the high speed rail lines is convenience for people to get from one city to another as quickly as possible, some of these high speed lines have become popular tourist attractions (places that many tourists visit). A good example of this is the Hefei-Fuzhou high speed line. Technically speaking, this was one of the most challenging high speed rail routes ever built;nearly 90% of the track was laid either on bridges or in tunnels (隧道). However, the amazing views are worth it, as the train goes through some of China's most beautiful mountainous areas, including the Huangshan and the Wuyi Mountain Ranges.
　　As China has gained skills and knowledge in high speed rail, it is trying to export (出口) its technology to other countries. Its first project on the international market was the line connecting Istanbul with Turkey's capital, Ankara, 530 kilometers away. This was followed by projects among other countries. Perhaps is most challenging project is a Trans Asian network (横贯亚洲铁路网) connecting China with Europe. Although it is difficult, China will make every effort to take on this plan. It is hoped to be completed by 2030 as a part of China's Belt and Road Initiative (一带一路的倡议).
　　Thanks to high speed rail, the travel time between main cities in China has already been reduced to only a few hours. So this convenience should improve the development within and out of China. No doubt, it will also bring the people of the country closer together, and in time bring about deep social changes.

32．　　At the 2022 Winter Game Su Yiming became the first Chinese snowboarder to win a gold medal in the men's big air event. Behind the huge success is hard work.
　　Back in 2018, the 14-year-old boy was faced with a difficult decision:To be as an actor or to go on snowboarding. With the 2022 Winter Olympics arriving, the teenager saw a chance. "Snowboarding was something I enjoyed the most, and this was a chance to take part in my own home country."
　　Su first stepped on a snowboard around age 4, with the support of his parents. His first snowboard came from his father and it was a lot taller than Su back then. However, Su almost fell in love with the sport immediately. Talking about his parents, Su said. "No matter what decision I made, they've always supported me and believed in me."
　　"I only have one word to describe my feelings for snowboarding, it's love, deep from my heart," Su said. "It's my happiest moment when I stand on the snowboard no matter how long I train, even for seven or eight hours at most at a time."
　　After the competitions, Su Yiming wrote a letter to President Xi to express his resolve (决心) to continue working hard. Su said in his letter that he was born in a great country and raised in the best times. To his surprise, he got a reply. President Xi expressed his hope for young Chinese to keep the motherland at heart, aim high, and have their feet firmly on the ground. "This has encouraged me to work even harder in the future. I shall make an effort to fight for my own country and win glory (荣耀) for China's winter sports." said Su.
　　Su Yiming hopes his story could excite more young people to hug winter sports and face challenges (面对挑战) in their lives.

33．　　Memory is very important. It helps you remember who you are, where you live, what you have learnt and what you plan to do in the future.
　　Some scientists believe that there are three types of memory — immediate, short-term and long-term.
　　Immediate memory holds information for less than, a second, e. g. the name of a road you have just seen. Then it either forgets it or passes it into short-term memory. Short-term memory can hold about seven items of information at a time, e. g. telephone numbers. It holds them for about 30 seconds. Then it either forgets them or passes them into long-term memory.
　　Long-term memory can hold information for the whole of our lives, e. g. the names of countries or the meanings of words.
　　So, how can you improve your memory?
　　It is important to exercise your brain. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep your brain active. You can try to memorize something new. You can try a Maths puzzle (益智游戏). You can also try to learn new skills or study a foreign language. Your brain gets lots of regular exercise if you do any of these things.
　　If you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. You must have a balanced diet (均衡的饮食). You must give your brain enough time to rest. Unless you get enough sleep every night, you will not remember things well.
　　If you want your brain to work well, you also need to relax. If you get too worried, your brain will slow down, and your memory will become less excellent.
　　So, to improve your memory, you should exercise your brain, live a healthy life and stay relaxed.
