The new airport is going to be in the capital of China: Bejing Beijing already has two airports. The firsts Beijing Capital where an extra terminal was built for the 2008 Olympic Games. The second is Nanyuan Airport, which is mainly used by military planes . Just over 37 million passengers passed through Bejing Capital Airport last year, making it the second busiest after Atlanta. But the Current airport isnot big enough for allthe Chinese passengers who want to travel by plane. Ths is why the government is going to build a new one. The new airport is going to be in the suburb of Daxing, in the south of the city. Daxing is about an hour's drive from the city centre.

Which is the best title? 1 Having cleaner house 2 Equality in the home 3 Improving your relationship ‘Men and women all over the world have arguments about doing the housework, and it’s usually the women who lose. However, a recent study by researchers at Oxford University shows that the situation is slowly improving. The researchers asked men and women aged between 20 and 59 to keep a diary of how much time they spent con housework each day. Then the researchers collected the diaries and analyzed them. These showed that women in the UK today spend about four hours and 40 minutes each day doing housework. Men, on the other hand, spend two hours and 28 minutes doing the same things. Although women still spend more time doing domestic obs, the figures show that the situation has improved. in the 1960s, women spent six hours a day on housework and men only 90 minutes, Researchers say that women are still doing most ofthe housework because people still divide domestic jobs into two areas, They see cooking, cleaning, and looking after children as ‘women's work, and general repairs, car miaintenanice., and work outside the home as ‘men's work: So, in general, the results ofthe study bring good news: for women. The difference between the amount of time men and woren spend on housework is getting smaller every year. This means that the time will come when both sexes share domestic chores: equally. However, women will have to be extremely patient, because the change won't be complete for another four decades! b Read the text.
