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.

    In recent years many TV shows have become extremely popular among Chinese audience. Those programs, ranging from talent or dating shows to reality shows {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(receive) both commercial success and public attention.

    Their popularity is {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(main) based on simple facts. First, they care {#blank#}3{#/blank#} social concerns. Second, without exception, they explore {#blank#}4{#/blank#} perfect balance between the international forms and Chinese expressions.

    Despite apparent highlights, much room {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(leave) for improvement. Above all, commercial interests often outweigh educational purposes, causing many {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(complaint) about the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(bearable) advertisements. In addition, some sharp remarks, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they are eye-catching, may have misleading effects on the youth.

    In my opinion, such shows should shoulder more responsibility instead of merely {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(entertain) the public. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} is expected, these programs should be positive in their forms as well as functions. Meanwhile, the media should also safeguard the values of our society.

    Letters as a way of communication have long given way to phone calls and WeChat messages. But a TV show, LettersAlive, is helping bring this old way to keep in touch back {#blank#}1{#/blank#} the present.

    LettersAlive took {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (it) idea from a UK program, LettersLive, released in 2013. Both {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (show) feature famous actors and actresses, but there {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) no eye-catching visual effects or any regular showbiz(娱乐圈) activities. Instead, it's just a live event {#blank#}5{#/blank#} remarkable letters selected from a wide time span and a diverse range of subjects are read. There is, for example, a passionate letter from Huang Yongyu to playwright Cao Yu 30 years ago to criticize his lack of {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (create).

    Every letter is like a small piece of history. By hearing them being read, it's as if we are being sent back in time {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (experience) a moment that we would otherwise never have had the chance to.

    Compared to{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (publish) texts, letters also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (natural) come with a personal touch. As well as celebrating the pain, joy, wisdom and humor, LettersAlive{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (commit) to promoting Chinese literature since first run.
