That Beijing, together with Zhangjiakou, succeeded in getting the chance to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, speeds up the development of Zhangjiakou City. Word came {#blank#}1{#/blank#}the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(locate) in North China, is currently under construction, and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(expect) to be completed by 2020 in preparation for the cities to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Starting from Beijing North Railway Station, heading west through the Great Wall three times in the capital's territory, the project is a big challenge, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} designers say the explosions needed to dig the tunnels will not have an impact on the structure. The line has a {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(long) of 174 km as a double tracked passenger dedicated line, with ten stations situated along its route. Having a {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(totally) investment of 31.17 billion yuan ($5 billion), the trip between the two cities will only take 40 minutes, with the train {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(travel) at an average of 250 km/h. According to the plan, the high-speed railway will build two branch lines—one is to Yanqing Station and the other {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Taizicheng of Chongli, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the Olympic village lies. The full railway, which includes 70-kilometer section through Beijing, will be completed in four and {#blank#}10{#/blank#} half years.

    Chinese are the first people to have tea. One thousand and two hundred years ago，Lu Yu wrote a book called “The Classic of Tea”{#blank#}1{#/blank#} is honored as “The Bible of Tea”. The book gives a detailed {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(explain) of the origin, the processing skills and the classification of tea.

    However, Chinese tea culture goes far beyond tea {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (it). Take green tea for instance，the ideal temperature of the water should be around 80 degree Celsius. If the water is too hot, nutrients in the tea{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(destroy). On the other hand, if the water is not hot enough, the tea{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (leaf) won't open up and you will miss the pleasantly fresh flavor. So Chinese people are used{#blank#}6{#/blank#} drinking hot tea. When you visit a Chinese friend，your friend will {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(constant) add hot water to your empty cup of tea. It is polite{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (offer) the tea cup to guests with both hands. Of course, the guests should pay respect as well,{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (take) the cup with both hands.

    Talking about adding water to the tea cup, there is{#blank#}10{#/blank#}saying: wine full, full cup. Tea half, half cup. For wine, the full cup symbolizes whole heartiness. For tea, the half cup means modesty.

    In 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay succeeded {#blank#}1{#/blank#} climbing to the top of Mount Everest, at 11:30 am, on May 29. They were the first people {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(reach) the top of Mount Everest.

    Edmund Hilary was a New Zealand mountaineer, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (explore) and philanthropist (慈善家)，and Tenzing Norgay was a Nepalese Sherpa mountaineer. Both of them were part of the ninth British expedition to Everest {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (lead) by John Hunt in 1953. For this expedition, Hunt selected a group of people who were {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (experience) in climbing mountains in the whole British Empire. In the group, Edmund Hilary{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (select) from New Zealand, and Tensing Norgay was actually recruited (招收) from India where he lived. Before climbing, the expedition had been organized and planned for months. They made nine camps on their way up, some of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} have been still used by climbers up to now.

    In fact, the first team made {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to the place which was just 300 feet below the summit, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they left on May 26. They actually had already reached the point that no man had reached before. They were forced to leave because of the bad weather and because there were {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (problem) with their oxygen tanks.
