11、ocal bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure. So how much will a year at an American school cost？ Generally speaking， the answer is： a lot。 A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example。 The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than

12、 36,000 this year。 This major research university currently has 2，600 foreign students from more than one hundred countries。 There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its web site says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international stud

13、ents。 This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level。The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed。 Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And th

14、ey have to name someone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money. Your government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in

20、day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there.Sounds unusual， doesnt it? But its not that unrealistic, with the development of Chinas highspeed railway system. And thats not all。 China has an even greater high-speed railway planto connect the country with Southeast Asia,and eventual

21、ly Eastern Europe.China is negotiating to extend its own highspeed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years，eventually reaching London and Singapore. China has proposed three such projects。 The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could

22、 start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan， and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.If Chinas plan for the high-speed railway goes forward， people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days。

23、The new system would still follow Chinas highspeed railway standard。 And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour， almost as fast as some airplanes. Chinas bullet train(高速客車）,the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou,already has the worlds fastest average speed. It covers 1，069 kilometers i

24、n about three hours. Of course，there are some technical challenges to overcome。 There are so many issues that need to be settled， such as safety, rail gauge （軌距)，maintenance of railway tracks。 So,its important to pay attention to every detail.But the key issue is really money. China is already spend

25、ing hundreds of billions yuan on domestic railway expansion. China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment。 Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development. Itll be a winwin project。 For other countries,the railway n

26、etwork will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries。For China,such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some muchneeded resources， but would also help develop Chinas far west. We

27、 foresee that in the coming decades,millions of people will migrate to the western regions， where the land is empty and resources unused。 With highspeed trains， people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all。 And theyll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European co
