One day, my wife and I went shopping. We took the car as we had a lot of things to buy, because my brother and his family were going to spend the weekend with us.

"Oh, dear," said my wife, "what are we going to do?"
"Let's ask that policeman," I said.

Today, I'd like to tell you something about the history of the United States. The United States covers a large part of North America. After winning freedom from England, it had only 13 states. Each of the states had a star on the national flag. As the nation grew, new states were formed and there were new stars on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 states. In 1959 and 1960, two more stars, standing for the new states of Alaska and Hawaii(阿拉斯加州和夏威夷州),were added to the flag. Indians were the first people of the land. Many people came from England. It is for that reason that the language of the US is English.

President Xi Jinping hosted the opening ceremony of the HongKong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge( HZMB) in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province on October 23rd. The 55-kilometer Y-shaped bridge in the Lingdingyang waters is the world's longest sea-spanning(跨海的) bridge. It connects Hong Kong, Zhuhai, and Macao. It is the result of five years of research and another nine years of building. The main bridge used about 420,000 tons of steel (铁). The total cost of HZMB is about 120 billion yuan.
The bridge can be used for 120 years. The speed limit(限速)is 100 km/h on the main bridge. The travel time from Hong Kong to Zhuhai was about 4 hours by road or about 1 hour by sea in the past, but now it only takes you about 40 minutes. One-way shuttle bus trip costs 58 yuan and the shuttle bus provides 24-hours service. Besides, the bus runs every 5 minutes during rush hour. Passengers can also travel in private cars and taxis. The one-way cost for private cars is 150 yuan.
The bridge is not only a transport connection, but also a social, economic, cultural and tourism connection among the three areas.
