30、tate where the future happens, and in 2008, its voters decided the future was high-speed rail. So they approved a $9 billion bond issue to begin an incredible government infrastructure project: a bullet train connecting San Francisco and Los- Angeles, at a cost of $33 billion.For years, the optimist
31、s have imagined Californians will travel quickly, comfortably and environmentally between the states two major population centers. The pessimists, meanwhile, have watched the project costs a lot. At last count, the estimates had traveled up to $75 billion, even were still climbing.On Tuesday, Gov. G
32、avin Newsom(D)in his state speech called for the state to transform the project to a less costly rail that would run through the Central Valley, which attracted voters elsewhere attention, because what happened in California illustrates the fact that any U.S. rail project may take a risk.Distance. I
33、n other places of the world, major population centers are much closer to each other. And big cities that are reasonably close together is pretty much an essential condition for high-speed rail, which is why they have it and we dont. Imagine what it would take to build a line from New York City to Lo

And instead of high-speed rail between these cities, we have the express, which takes eight hours to travel from Washington to Boston. Why havent we built something better
35、? Because truly high-speed rail needs to travel in a fairly straight line. Building newer, better, straighter rail lines would require the government to buy all the land between Point A and Point B and tear down anything that happened to be in the way. However, whats between Point A and Point B is a

Physically, his core strengthened because of the constant effort to keep himself upright in the water. The ex
63、citement began when he boarded the boat to find that all of his needs had been met-and the fun continued as he rode strong winds and surfed high waves. There was nothing instinctive about identifying the distance, direction and type of boats coming at you out there on a rolling sea. That kind of com
64、fort could be beyond belief.As usual, Mr. Bee got everything under control. After finishing the exercise routine, the 62-year-old was sitting on the boat, alone, with the company of bright stars above and lovely creatures in the water.

65、on his boat.Feeling sleepy that day, he fell asleep quickly. Mr. Bee didnt realize the boat suffered a mechanical issue and began taking in water and sinking while he slept. Suddenly he woke up to being surrounded by water. The water came pouring in and pushed him to the front.At that point, desperate and crying out to God, he didnt even have time to send out a signal for help. He wondered if this was how he was going to spend his final moments.It was a miracle that the entire boat didnt go under. Seeing the boat sail into his path, he had to attract the boaters attention.
