3 . During the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, foreign journalists not only enjoyed the Chinese athletes’ excellent performance, but experienced “the speed of China” in the development of high-speed rail.

On Feb. 14, 57 journalists from 36 Chinese and foreign media groups were invited by the 2022 Beijing Media Center to visit the city’s rail transit command center to explore the “secret” of Beijing’s high-quality development in the field.

Beijing has formed a safe, convenient, efficient and green rail transit system. It now consists of 27 metro lines, increased from two in 2001 when Beijing won the bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games. Last year, the city’s metro lines together handled nearly 10 million passenger trips per working day, accounting for 57 percent of the total number carried by urban public vehicles.

Compared with car travel, each subway passenger can reduce 77 percent of their carbon emissions, which means the total reduced carbon emissions can reach 7. 38 million metric tons a year. This is equal to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by 410 million trees, experts said. In addition to efficiency and ecological protection, the city’s urban rail transit is becoming more intelligent. For example, the west part of Metro Line 11 is known as a line serving the 2022 Winter Olympics, which features a fully automated driving mode under staff supervision at the beginning of the train’s operation.

Although China was behind developed countries in high-speed railway development, it has accumulated abundant experience in constructing all types of railways, including high-speed and railways at high altitudes and carrying heavy loads. The country also has the longest high-speed rail mileage, which accounts for more than 66 percent of the world’s total.

“China’s high-speed trains run across rivers and mountains to reach all directions, from forests and snowy fields in the north to wetlands south of the Yangtze River, and from the desert in the west to the East China Sea,” said Zou Wu, a senior engineer at the China State Railway Group. “The country’s high-speed railway network covers 92 percent of the cities each with a population of more than 500, 000 people.”

In a first of     1     (it) kind in China, Shenzhen, a city that pioneered reform and opening-up in China, will allow fully autonomous vehicles     2     (run) on roads in certain areas without human control equipment.     3     city in Guangdong province revealed a new regulation tailored for smart connected vehicle management in China, which is scheduled to come into force on August 1.

The new regulation, which is set to fill the legal gap for domestic intelligent connected vehicles, said automakers don’t     4     (necessary) have to equip fully autonomous vehicles with manual driving mode and corresponding (相应的) devices, and nor do they have to have human drivers.

But such fully autonomous vehicles can only drive on certain roads and sections     5     (select) by Shenzhen’s traffic management department, according to the regulation, which was published on the official website of Shenzhen Municipal People’s Congress.

The regulation classified autonomous vehicles     6     three types: conditionally autonomous driving, highly autonomous driving, and fully autonomous driving. Conditionally autonomous and highly autonomous vehicles must have manual driving modes and corresponding devices, and     7     (equip) with drivers.

Meanwhile, the regulation     8     (clarify) rules for responsibilities and auto insurance coverage in the event of car accidents     9     involve autonomous driving, which is expected to promote the fast     10     (develop) of self-driving vehicles.

Hundreds of kids and parents are riding their bikes to school every Friday in Barcelona, Spain. They are part of a unique bike bus—bicibus in Spanish. It all    1    (begin) in the Eixample District of Barcelona when five families were looking for a safe and    2    (environmental) friendly way to get to school. Then it mushroomed.

The bicibus operates just like a school bus with three    3    (stop) along the way for the riders to join and then it stops at several schools in the district. Every week, the organizers publish the route and post    4    to social media so that the families know where    5    (join) the bus. The route is a very busy road    6    20,000 vehicles usually ride every day. It is a    7    (danger) road for kids to go along to school, even    8    (accompany)by their parents.

While these types of bikeways already exist in other parts of Barcelona, they are absent in this neighborhood. The parents of the community are hoping that the city will create school-friendly bikeways that are separated     9    the main road.

“Bicycles are a means of transportation. If the population uses their bikes, there will be a healthier, quieter     10    overall better city to live in,” parent Mireia Boix said.

10 . The Gurugram-based startup Rivigo was founded in 2014 by Deepak Garg. The central objective of the now billion-dollar company was to create a model where no truck driver would drive for more than 5-6 hours at a stretch and would reach home the same day.

Looking to build a company, Deepak realized that the rise of e-commerce had dramatically increased the demand for trucks, yet in India the industry was struggling with a shortage of drivers. How could this be in a country of over a billion people with a high unemployment rate— despite healthy wages for truck drivers?

To solve this puzzle, Deepak visited small villages where many truck drivers could be found. During his one-on-one conversations he discovered that since truck drivers are almost always on the road, they often develop bad habits such as heavy drinking. Partly because of this, few villagers wanted a son to become a truck driver or a daughter to marry one. What, then, was the solution? Could it be to bring the drivers back to their homes every night? That could work --- but how could he make it happen if a trucker’s trip took three or four days?

A relay service, Deepak realized, could solve the problem. Effectively, he built truck stops four hours apart along a selected route. A driver could go from point A to point B, drop his truck there and pick up another truck to drive from B back to A. Another driver in turn would pick up the truck from B and take it to point C, and so on. This not only brought drivers home each night, but created great value for logistics (物流) companies. A truck that was previously used for only 10 to 12 hours a day, allowing drivers time to sleep and eat, could now operate for more than 20 hours, cutting total delivery times by almost half.

To be sure, there’s a lot of technology behind the scene. But the founder strongly believes being humane (人道的) above anything else is the biggest factor that distinguishes him from the common crowd.
