仔细阅读，选择正确答案。

Dear Sir,

I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along the line: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus gets to Souk Road, it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.

The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus every day?

The regulations（规章）say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?

The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers（乘客）and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted（数）the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.

It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service（服务）better?

（ ）1. This passage is ________.

A. a message B. a talk C. a story D. a letter

（ ）2. The writer has to take Bus No. 49 because _________.

A. it arrives on time B. it is not always full

C. it travels faster D. it has fewer seats on it

（ ）3. How long does the writer usually have to wait for a bus?

A. Ten minutes. B. One hour. C. Half an hour D. Nearly a day.

（ ）4. The regulations say that each bus may carry ______ passengers at most.

A. 20 B. 40 C. 60 129

（ ）5. From the passage we can see that __________.

A. the bus service was bad B. no passengers took their buses

C. no bus passed Souk Road D. the writer was always the first to get on the bus

    e. Lots of people miss their pets while they are on holiday. One hotel in Minnesota has solved this problem. They lend cats to their guests.
