It is said that as the population of a city grows, so do its problems. Pollution, too many cars, and crowded streets are just a few of the problems. One way to deal with these problems is city trains. Traveling to different parts of a city by train means fewer cars and buses on our roads, cleaner air and more open streets. In recent years, cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai have all built city train lines.
The first city train line in China was built in Beijing. The oldest part of the train line, from Beijing Zhan to Ping Guo Yuan was opened in 1969. Its length was 23.6 kilometers. With the development of the city after 1980, more trains are needed. A new train line was built to help move people around the city center. The 16-kilometer-long “circle line” was finished in 1987. Since that time even more train stations have been built and today the train lines in the city are over 50 kilometers long.
For the 2008 Olympic Games, the trains of Beijing was very important. Most of the people who went to watch the different sports games during the Olympic Games traveled by train.

In Europe many people died during World WarⅡ. As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans (孤儿) there. A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children. His idea was simple. He wanted the orphans to have a home, and to have the care and kindness of parents. Gmeiner asked people to raise some money. With the money he built the first SOS Children’s Village at Imst, in Australia. It opened in 1949. This is how the SOS Children’s Village started. The letters SOS stand for“Save Our Souls (灵魂)”. This means “please help us!” The SOS Children’s Village gives help to orphans.
Hermann Gmeiner’s idea of helping orphans soon spread all over the world. By 1983, there were 170 SOS Children’s Villages in the world. People in many countries give money to help the villages. Today the children from the first children’s village have grown up. Now some of them work in other SOS Children’s Villages. In SOS Villages orphans live in family groups. There are several houses in each village. The biggest villages have 40 or 50 houses! From seven to ten children live in a house. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks for them and makes a comfortable and happy home for them.
Of course, the children don’t spend all their time in the village. They go to school, go out with their friends and also go to town. But the village gives them a home—for the first time in their lives.
