Since 2008, the HSR network has transported over 10 billion passengers, setting a world record. There are now more than 7，000 highspeed trains running every day, some of which can reach the speed of 350 kilometres per hour, the highest speed in the world of train transport. 2. Because China boasts the world's longest and most extensively used HSR network. 3. The Fuxing EMU, developed and manufactured totally by China and built with a longer lifespan and an energysaving design, boasts modernized features, elegant designs and advanced technologies that are superior to those of previous models.　 Activity 2： 1. These achievements have been made owing to the wholehearted devotion of engineers, the tireless effort of railway workers, and the strong support of all the Chinese people. 2. China's HSR network will continue to grow, improving the lives of its people and strengthening unity among them. Activity 3： 1. The highspeed train goes at a high speed, so the reason why the front is designed into the shape of the bullet is mainly to reduce air resistance. 2. There are problems to be solved for HSR network. Firstly, the ticket prices are high. Compared with ordinary trains, the highspeed train has the advantages of comfort and speed, but the ticket price is 23 times that of ordinary train tickets. Migrant workers are the main contributors to passenger flow. They travel between rural and urban areas, and their meagre income simply cannot afford the high ticket price of highspeed rail. Secondly, it leads to polluting the living environment of residents along the line. The construction speed of the highspeed railway is too fast, and some projects are put into practice without scientific demonstration, which has caused some social problems. Thirdly, the highspeed railway is easy to be affected by extreme weather, power supply and other factors, resulting in the fault shutdown for some time. 3. In many aspects, we Chinese people are proud of our HSR network. For example, the BeijingZhangjiakou line, the world's first smart highspeed railway, has set the standard for HSR automatic driving. Besides, the Fuxing EMU is developed and manufactured totally by China, and boasts advanced technologies which are superior to those of previous models. Although there are still some shortcomings in the actual operation process, on the whole, the development of China's HSR network is unique in the world, which deserves the pride of all Chinese people.
