The Chinese high-speed railway has a quality all on its own. Tier 1(一线) cities 1 Beijing have several hundred high-speed trains stopping at the 2 every day. China’s technology on building the railway is 3 the rest of the world. There is no 4 that any other country could be better than China in the near future. I had my first chance to 5 the high-speed trains last week 6 I had a business meeting in Zhengzhou.
As someone 7 with a disdain(鄙视) for public transportation, I was 8 the experience (经历). I hoped to fly, but was told that it would be much better if I 9 the train.
The train was 10. I had travelled on a train before in the USA and 11 how slow it was and how many stops there were. Chinese high-speed trains are on a different 12. The trains are clean and the seats are big.
You can’t even 13 how fast the train is moving. If there were no windows, I wouldn’t be able to tell when we 14 or when we were travelling at 300 km/h—it is that smooth.
I’m travelling again this week by train and I’m 15.
