【正文】 of these projects involved historic or artistic attempts. The WPA39。s Writers Project, for example, was responsible not only for such practical works as state guidebooks but also for the collection of historically valuable oral histories. Over 2,900 of these records were collected in 24 states. They provide an irreplaceable firsthand account of people39。s diets, customs, celebrations, and political and religious beliefs at the time. The artworks created through the Federal Arts Project are one of the WPA39。s most lasting achievements. Out of work painters, both famous and unknown, created paintings that beautified schools, libraries, and government buildings, WPA photographers traveled across the country recording the hardships of life on small rural farms. When the United States entered World War Ⅱ in 1941, WPA artists were enlisted to produce posters supporting the war effort. Many WPA artworks, including hundreds of small drawings picturing scenes of everyday life, still exist today.（1）When did the Work Projects Administration begin to work?

The trial runs, arranged by the governments of the Chinese mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and the Macao SAR, would last for three days and aimed at testing the readiness of boundary crossing facilities (設(shè)施) of the three places, the Hong Kong SAR government39。s Transport and Housing Bureau told Xinhua. Two major crossboundary coach trade associations in Hong Kong were invited to send buses and members to participate in the trial runs. Freeman Cheung, secretary of Hong Kong Guangdong Boundary Crossing Bus Association, said his association would run one bus with about 10 passengers on Friday and Saturday respectively as part of the trial runs. Our bus started at noon from the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities and ran all the way to Zhuhai in about 40 minutes, he said, adding that the journey was smooth. Alan Chan, secretary of another trade association who participated in the trial runs as a passenger, said the clearance procedures at boundary crossing facilities of the three places all went on well and smoothly. The boundary crossing facilities of Zhuhai and Macao, in particular, are operated in a collaborative (合作的) way, which helps remarkably shorten the time needed for the clearance procedures, he said. The HZMB, situated at the waters of Lingdingyang of Pearl River Estuary, is a megasize sea crossing linking the Hong Kong SAR, Zhuhai city of Guangdong Province and the Macao SAR. The 55km bridge is the longest bridgeandtunnel (隧道) sea crossing in the world. The bridge is meant to meet the demand of passenger and freight land transport among Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and Macao, and to establish a new land transport link between the east and west banks of the Pearl River.（1）We learn from the passage that ________.
