    The united States has about 475,000 school buses — all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June.
    Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled. Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts may end any bus service not required by law.
    Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance.
    But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day.
    小题1:What does this passage mainly tell us?
    A．High fuel prices’ influences on school buses.
    B．New measures to transport school students.
    C．The safest form of student transportation.
    D．The origin of Walk to School Day.
    小题2:In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT_____.
    A．changing some bus routes
    B．stopping some bus routes
    C．asking parents to drive children to and from school
    D．using other types of fuels
    小题3:The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to ____.
    A．save more fuels and diesel for the country
    B．keep the children safe on their way to school
    C．make the children live a simple life
    D．keep the children healthy and the environment clean

    As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult.   71  . Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!
    With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about making choices. In this way you can make healthy balanced decisions.   72 You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.
    Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices.   73  But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of others even though you are old enough to look after yourself.

    You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you.   75 So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!
    A．Choose your friends wisely.
    B．They will help shape the future.
    C．They may seem to happen quickly.

    Whether they’re project documents, trade journals, blogs, business books or ebooks, most of us read regularly as part of our jobs, and to develop our skills and knowledge.
    But do you ever read what should be a useful document, yet fail to gain any helpful information from it? Or, re-read something several times to get a full understanding of the content? If so, look at the following strategies (策略) that will help you read more effectively.
    ●Think About What You Want to Know
    Before you start reading anything, ask yourself why you’re reading it. Are you reading with a purpose, or just for pleasure? What do you want to know after you’ve read it? Once you know your purpose, you can examine the resource (资源) to see whether it’s going to help you.
    Ask yourself whether the resource meets your needs, and try to work out if it will give you the right amount of knowledge. If you think that the resource isn’t consummate, don’t waste time reading it.
    ●Know How Deeply to Study the Material
    Where you only need the shallowest knowledge of a subject, you can skim material. Here you read only chapter headings, introductions, and summaries.
    If you need a moderate (中等的) level of information on a subject, then you can scan the text. This is when you read the chapter introductions and summaries in detail. You can then speed read the contents of the chapters, picking out and understanding key words and concepts.
    Only when you need full knowledge of a subject is it worth studying the text in detail (细节). Here it’s best to skim the material first to get an overview of the subject. This gives you an understanding of its structure, into which you can then fit the detail gained from a full reading of the material.
    小题1:Why should we know our purpose before reading?
    A．Because we can develop our skills and knowledge.
    B．Because we can get a full understanding of the content.
    C．Because we can avoid re-reading something several times.
    D．Because we can check it out whether the material will be helpful.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “consummate” in the 5th paragraph mean?
    A．Legal.B．Natural.C．Perfect.D．Formal.
    小题3: According to the depth to study the material, how many reading strategies are mentioned?
    A．2.B．3.C．4.D．5.
    小题4:The best title for this passage should be ______.
    A．Reading Strategies
    B．Think About What You Want to Know
    C．Know How Deeply to Study the Material
    D．How to Develop our Skills and Knowledge

    People often use gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that the gestures can be understood in different ways.
    It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language.  So does laughter or crying.  Fear is another emotion(情感) that is shown in much the same way all over the world.  In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. 
    However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese, surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” “Stretching out your tongue” in English is an insulting(侮辱的, 无礼的)gesture or expresses strong dislike.
    Even in the same culture, people differ in their ability to understand and express feelings.  Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear,  anger,  love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to understand body language than younger people do.
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? 
    A．We can easily understand what people’s gestures mean.
    B．It is difficult to tell what people’s gestures really mean sometimes.
    C．Gestures can be understood by most people but words are not.
    D．Words can be better understood by older people.
    小题2:People’s facial expressions may be misunderstood in different cultures because ______ .
    A．people from different cultures have different meanings about some facial expressions
    B．people speaking different languages have different facial expressions
    C．people of different ages may have different interpretations (解释)
    D．people of different sexes may understand a gesture differently
    小题3:From the passage,  we can conclude(得出结论) that ______ .
    A．words are often more difficult to understand than gestures
    B．gestures can be more effectively used than words to express feelings
    C．gestures can be used to express feelings
    D．gestures are used as frequently as words to express feelings
    小题4:The best title for this passage can be ______ .
    A．GesturesB．Feelings
    C．Culture and Understanding D．Gestures and Feelings
