Science has improved transportation and communication facilities a great deal. Traveling has become safer, more enjoyable and above all, more economical. Traveling—whether within one’s country or abroad— brings many invaluable benefits. People travel for pleasure, business or for education and knowledge.

【写作内容]】 根据上表写一篇报道，并包括如下内容： 1. 武广高速铁路客运新干线的基本情况； 2. 高铁列车的主要优点和不足；
The Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, first built in 2005, went into operation on Dec.26th, 2009.The high-speed line, which covers a distance of 1,086 kilometres, runs across three provinces: Hubei, Hunan and Guangdong. The most exciting thing is that the train can reach a speed of 350 km per hour, which is now the fastest in the world and thus shortens the travel time between Guangzhou and Wuhan from ten hours to only three! Moreover, the high-speed train is well-equipped with all necessary facilities and is more humane as well as safe and comfortable. However, what is not so satisfactory is that the fares are a little too high for common people and the station is relatively far from the city center.
