　　We can not live a modern life without traveling．The fastest way of traveling is by air．With a plane people can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to a hundred years ago．

　　Traveling by train is slower than by plane, but people can see the country when they are traveling through．Modern trains have comfortable seats and dinning-cars．They make even the longest journey(旅途)enjoyable．

　　Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible．There are large luxury liners(客轮)or river boats．They are not as fast as trains or planes, but traveling by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday．

　　Many people like to travel by car．They can make their own timetable．They can travel hundreds of miles or only fifty miles a day, just as their wish．They can stop wherever they want to see something interesting or to enjoy a good meal at a good restaurant, or to spend the night at a hotel．That is why people choose traveling by car for pleasant trips, while they usually take trains or planes for business．

　　But there is good news for people traveling between Beijing and Shanghai．Construction(建设)on the express railway(高速铁路)between the two cities started just before the Spring Festival of 2008．When it is finished by 2013, taking a train will be as easy as taking a bus．

　　“There will be trains every several minutes．Buying a ticket, getting through the checkpoint(检查站)to taking your seat．will take just lo minutes,”said a message on the government's website．

　　There may be high-speed trains running at 350 kilometers an hour．The travel time between the two cities will decrease from 10 to about five hours．The trains will carry twice the present number of passengers．

　　The new line will be 1,318 kilometers long and go across specially built bridges．It will run alongside the present line．There will be 21 stations, in Hebei, Tianjin, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu．

　　“The cost of traveling by the express railway may be around 800 yuan．That will be more expensive than an ordinary train．but cheaper than by air,”said Zhang Xiaolin9, a Jiangsu government official．

　　According to Zhang．the higher price is caused by the large cost of the railway project．At about 200 billion yuan, the project may be even more expensive than the Three Gorges Project(三峡工程)．
