first transcontinental railroad. In 1862 Congress had authorized two 【S5】______

system. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used
Chinese labor, the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish laborers. 【S6】______
The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each tried to cover a 【S7】______
greater distance than the other. In 1869, they met at a place called

ringing of church bells honor the great achievement. 【S8】______

句法结构错误。此处前后两个句子表示对比:前句提到“The Central Pacific Company used Chinese labor”:后句提到“the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish laborers”.故应使用while“而”来连接这两个句子。
