    A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.
    In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.
    There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
    Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!
    School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now.  It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. It's said that there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year in Chongqing.
    小题1:According to Dr. Frank,           school buses are safer for the students.

    小题2:Children in Japan may easily         by taking the school bus.

A bookstore in Beijing is going out of business（生意）. All of its books are on sale. Bookstore owner Wang Jian says hot sales of books on the Internet pushed him to change the way he did business.

    For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way: 
    “She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable color.”
    But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages.
    Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.
    Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspaper, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours. New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.
    小题1: From this passage we know that “fashion” means ______.
    A．clothes B．many things
    C．most of the popular things D．everything
    小题2:Today fashions change very quickly because _______.

    When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation (翻译)? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.
    Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order (顺序) in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily.Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change.
    Let’s see the difference between the two sentences:"She only likes apples. " "Only she likes apples. "
    When you are learning English, you must use it as the English speaker does.
    小题1:From the passage we know that _______when we are learning English.
    A．we shouldn’t put every word into our own language
    B．we should look up (查阅) every word in the dictionary
    C．we need to put every word into our own language
    D．we must read word by word
    小题2: The writer thinks it is________in learning English.
    A．difficult to understand different sounds
    B．possible to remember the word order
    C．important to master the rules in different ways
    D．easy to master the rules for word order
    小题3:We can learn from the passage that_______.
    A．the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words
    B．the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
    C．sometimes different order of words has a different meaning
    D．if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
