If you live in a big city, there are many things to drive you crazy on your daily route, and it’s not just overcrowded subway trains.
Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can’t put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator(自动扶梯) in subway stations. “Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn’t a place to rest,” the 24-year-old says. “I often see tourists block the way with their suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hours. It annoys me to no end.”
Admitting she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where “stand right, walk left” signs are often ignored.
The logic behind the “stand right, walk left” escalator etiquette(礼仪) seems obvious. Even though you may want to catch your breath while you’re transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train.
Many cities’ escalators, including London’s and Beijing’s, use the “stand right, walk left” system to speed up the flow of people. (Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.) But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong’s subway stations there are regular announcements asking people to “stand still” on escalators. Even so, most people in this fast-paced city observe the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
But the people who stand on escalators defend themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. The BBC quotes one stander as saying: “If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? Even when the escalator is packed and there’s nowhere to move, I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.”
Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, don’t stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple “excuse me” is enough.
1.In the second paragraph, the underlined word “It” refers to ________.
A. the author’s living in the big city of Hong Kong
B. being crowded on the subway trains in rush hours
C. people’s blocking the way or chat on the escalators
D. people’s standing on the right side resting
2.When on the escalator, a majority of local people in Hong Kong ________.
A. stand still as the railway stations require
B. ignore the “stand right, walk left” signs
C. use the stairs instead of escalators
D. follow the “stand right, walk left” etiquette
3.What can be inferred from the 6th paragraph?
A. Not everyone follows the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
B. The BBC is against the “stand right, walk left” etiquette.
C. People should be patient and take the stairs if possible.
D. People shouldn’t complain about the crowded escalators.
4.Which of the following statements is the writer’s opinion?
A. People should stand right no matter where they are.
B. People should do as the Romans do and consider others.
C. People should do as they like on the escalators.
D. People should be seriously criticized when they block the way.

As Rosalie Warren stood at the mailbox in the lobby of her apartment building in May 1980, she shared the anxiety of many other college seniors. In her hand was an envelope containing her final grades. As she nervously opened it, Warren wondered whether her hundreds of hours of studying had paid off.
They had.
“I got five A’s,” she still recalls with elation. “I almost fell on the floor!”
Warren would graduate from Suffolk University with a Bachelor of Science degree in philosophy and history at age 80. Three years later, at age 83; she would receive her second degree from Suffolk, a master’s in education.
Now, with both diplomas proudly displayed in her apartment, Warren is not finished with learning. Now 93, she continues for her 18th year at Suffolk under a program that allows persons 65 and over to attend classes tuition free. “It’s my life to go to school, to enjoy being in an academic atmosphere,” she says. “That’s what I love.”
Warren was born Rosalie Levey on Aug.29, 1900. Two years after she entered high school, her father died. Warren had to leave school for factory work to help support her family’s 10 children. Warren describes herself as a “person who always liked school,” and she says the move “broke my heart completely because I couldn’t finish high school.”
In the end, however, “I went to school nights,” she recalls. “Any place I could find an outlet of learning and teaching, I was there.”
A short time later, her mother became ill, and Warren had to care for her, once again putting her education on hold.
Finally, in 1921, her mother, now recovered, drew from her saving to send Warren to Boston University for two years to study typing, stenography, and office procedures.
Those courses helped Warren gain several long-term office positions over the next 60 years, but her great desire “to be in the academic field” continued.
In 1924, she married Eugene Warren, and seven years later, her daughter, Corinne, was born. In 1955, by then a widow and a grandmother, Warren took a bus tour across the United States that was to last nine months. She said she wanted to see “things you never see in the West End.”
When she returned home, she took a bookkeeping position and also enrolled in courses in philosophy, sociology and Chinese history.
In 1975, when she was 75, Warren learned from a neighbor about Suffolk University’s tuition-free program for senior citizens.” I was at the registrar’s office the very next day,” she recalls. At first, she took one or two courses at a time, but encouraged by her professors, she enrolled as a degree candidate.
“I had not studied for so many years,” she says, “but I was determined.” For the next four years, Warren, who calls herself a “student of philosophy,” worked toward her degree.
Nancy Stoll, dean of students at Suffolk, says Warren is “an interesting role model for our younger students—that learning is a lifetime activity...She is genuinely enthusiastic about being here, and that permeates (散发) her activities and is contagious (传染的) to students and faculty.”
1.What does the word elation mean in the sentence “I got fives A’s”, she still recalls with elation”?
A. Great happiness.B. Great surprise.
C. Great pride.D. Great honor.
2.Which statement can be inferred from the underlined sentences?
A. Because Warren needn’t pay her tuition; she went to study at Suffolk University.
B. At first Warren had to pay for her courses at Suffolk University.
C. Most of the students at Suffolk University are older than 65.
D. Suffolk University encourages older people to take courses.
3.It can be inferred from this passage that Rosalie Warren _______.
A. came from a wealthy family
B. didn’t like working in an office
C. put her family before her education
D. didn’t like her family very much
4.What is the main topic of this passage?
A. Rosalie Warren’s family
B. Rosalie Warren’s life
C. Rosalie Warren’s education
D. Rosalie Warren’s studying at Suffolk University
