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.

    It is generally believed that obesity is a global epidemic and crisis. But people's view on weight is keeping us from doing things to help us get {#blank#}1{#/blank#} healthy body. Obesity researchers hate{#blank#}2{#/blank#} when I say this, but their own data shows that obesity is not going to kill us. Most obese people don't have {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(short) lifespans (寿命) than non-obese people and in fact it's the underweight people {#blank#}4{#/blank#} are at most at risk.

    So why does everybody think obesity is deadly? One reason is that obesity is associated with three different things that {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) deadly and lead to shorter lifespan: being sedentary (久坐);{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (have) lower income; and not getting enough medical care. Everyone, the medial the medical community operate from the firm {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (assume) that obesity is deadly. So any evidences contradicting that are ignored. It is true that obese people are more likely {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(get) diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But there are two things you need to realize. First of all, the obesity paradox. When obese people get the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (disease), they're less likely to die of them than non-obese people. Second, to reduce the risks that you may suffer from, you don't {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (actual) have to get thin. You just need to exercise.

    BEIJING·China will establish a new special economic zone in the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(heavy) polluted province of Hebei to promote integration（一体化）with {#blank#}2{#/blank#}neighboring cities of Beijing and Tianjin, the government has announced.

    The Xiongan New Area will be {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the same national importance as the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, {#blank#}4{#/blank#}helped kick-start China's economic reforms in 1980, the official Xinhua news agency said, citing a circular released by the Chinese Cabinet.

    The new special economic zone{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(locate) around 100km south-west of Beijing, close to the Hebei provincial capital of Shijiazhuang and will house some of Beijing's relocated "non-capital functions". It is currently only 100 square kilometers in area {#blank#}6{#/blank#}will eventually be expanded to 2,000 square kilometers.

    Beijing, home to 22 million people,{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(try)to control population growth and relocate industries and other non-capital functions to Hebei in the{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(come) years as part of its efforts to prevent pollution and crowdedness.

    The removal of non-capital functions from Beijing is part of a greater strategy to integrate the development of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei for a better economic structure, {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(clean) environment and improved public{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (serve).

    Life has become difficult for many villages, and some are disappearing. There are a number {#blank#}1{#/blank#} reasons for this. Firstly, young people from villages usually want to live somewhere livelier and they often move to the towns and do not return. Secondly, people move to the cities to find work, as there are often very few jobs in the countryside. Sometimes villages remain {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people from the cities have bought a "second home" in the village, {#blank#}3{#/blank#}they come and stay at weekends. The price of houses {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(go) up and people from the area cannot afford {#blank#}5{#/blank#}( buy) a house there. Another problem is that it is becoming more and more difficult for farmers to make money from the farms. So they sell their land and find another job.

Chinese was formally announced an official language of the United Nations World Tourism Organization on January 25.

That means the organization will use the Chinese language, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} will enhance China's soft power in global tourism and, by extension, the cultural domain. It will help China's tourism growth, encouraging other countries {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(adopt) its policies. Tourist places in Chi too will get more exposure. The number of people learning Chinese will {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (definite) grow.

There {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(be) two main reasons for that. First. Chinese cultural and tourism authorities have been promoting Chinese culture for long. As far back as in 2006. Spring Festival was listed as a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (nation)cultural heritage(文化遗产)and given special {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(protect)and promoted. Now, there are many influential festival {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(list) in the world and almost all of them list the Chinese New Year. or Spring Festival: many even list {#blank#}8{#/blank#} at the top. Second. the year-on-year growth in the number of Chinese tourists before 2020 too has played a part in promoting the Chinese language and culture. Globally. Chinese faces have become common at scenic spots. That has a lot to do {#blank#}9{#/blank#}China's improving economy and the constantly rising per capital income(人均收入).

With China's growing comprehensive capabilities, it {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(hope) that its influence in other soft power domains will also grow.
