The Hangzhou-Changsha section of the Shanghai-Kunming(Hu-Kun) high speed rail(高铁) officially started operation on Dec 10, 2014. The Changsha-Huaihua(Chang-Huai) section of the Hu-Kun high speed rail was also opened to traffic a week later.
“It is no longer a dream" for Changsha residents to "leave for a trip without hesitation", said Changsha Evening, as it is really convenient either to go eastward or westward from Changsha.
During the trial operation of the Chang-Huai section on Dec 9, the G6521 train left Changsha South Railway Station at 8:40 am, arrived at Xiangtan North Station at 8:54 am, Loudi South Station at 9:22 am, and Huaihua South Station at 10:28 am.
Before the opening of the high speed rail. Changsha had 13 regular trains to Huaihua, the fastest of which, the Z149, leaves Changsha at about 6:00 am and arrives at Huaihua at nearly 12:00 am, being more than four hours slower than the high speed train.
The total length of the high speed rail in Hunan province is now more than 1,000 km, covering 10 out of the total 14 prefecture level(地区级的) cities or autonomous districts-much higher than the national average level.

Many couples are quite puzzled about this question.How can lovers be devoted to each other for long? Actually, they just complain about their marriage to their partners all the time,not1.(know) how to deal with the marriage crisis.

“Very funny,”answered the husband.“But have you looked at yourself lately?Several years ago,you were very beautiful.Now you wear that old dress.If I've changed from5.energetic man to a lazy one,then you've changed yourself from a6.(beauty) lady to an ugly one.”This hurtful but childish7.(argue) shows how couples, instead of looking for love,may look for all the8.(fault) that his/her partner has in their daily life.
Honestly speaking,how we see our partners often depends more9.how we are than how they are.It is a way of seeing.Husbands and wives are not audience10.participant observers in each other’s life.Remember that the law of lasting love is to look at your lover with love.
