12、l from New York to Beijing, the flight takes about 16 hours. You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer（换乘）onto a different airplane. If you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from New York to Beijing might only tak
13、e two hours.Right now, a company is developing something called ET3, which stands for “evacuated tube（真空管）transport technology（技术）”. Heres how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules（舱）move through the tube. Six people can sit in one c
14、apsule. The capsules use electricity instead of oil. For international travel, the capsules can travel at about 6, 500 kilometers per hour. Thats much faster than airplanesmost modern airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel s
15、o fast? The answer is that there is no air inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through air. The air slows the airplanes down. Because there isnt any air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very high speed. Also, the capsules are quite light. Each only weighs 183 k
16、ilograms.There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, its quite clean. Also, its a lot quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules dont require very much building materials.Of course, ET3 doesnt come into use yet. The technology is still being developed. Devel
17、opers still have to solve a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that right now ET3 would be far too expensive. In order to make ET3 cheaper, we will need much better technology.Its exciting to think of how ET3 will change the travel in the future. Who knows? Maybe someday youll be able to have l

21、 about the designer of the Sydney Opera HouseDanish architect Jorn Utzon. He was the winner of an international design competition. However, he designed the building according to his own tastes, which caused several problems. The project was completed 10 years late. The cost of construction (建造) was
22、 over budget (预算). Utzon didnt get to see it after it was built.Then, we visited Joan Sutherland Theatre. The theater was refurbished (翻新) in 2017 with new high-tech equipment. There was a rehearsal (排练) that day, so we could hear the beautiful sound of the orchestra. Finally, we arrived at the larg
23、est theaterConcert Hall. It has hosted many kinds of performances, from classical to rock music.
