“Twenty cents!” I thought to myself, “I can afford it. I got 25 cents’ pocket money and some extra for odd jobs. Well, ________ it is enough, ice cream isn’t a good use of it.” Therefore, I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll ________ .” My father just said, “Okay, Son.”

If you live in a big city, there are many thing 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 paragragh, 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 Kongg_______

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, wail 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.

Move over Psy. There’s a new viral music video on the Internet that’s getting millions of people dancing and laughing. Psy is a singer who created Gagnam Style, a music video which featured a catchy tune and interesting dance.

The new music video called The Fox (What does the fox say?) has recently gone viral. At 123 000 000 views, it may even catch up to Gagnam Style. The video asks the question, “What does the fox say?” It’s a good question. And it seems, at least according to the music video, there is no good answer.

Actors in the video dress up like the animals they’re singing about. One of the brothers dresses up like a fox. There is a surprising and silly dance in the video that takes the viewer a bit off-guard. The video’s appeal is the song’s simple rhythm and catchy chorus (副歌).

The makers of the video never expected the video to do well or even to be taken seriously. In fact, it started out as a joke. The song was written by two brothers from Norway, Vegard and Bard Ylvis ker. The brothers have their own late-night talk show in Norway. They thought the video would be so bad that it would give them something to talk about on their show.

On their website, they say the video was “supposed to entertain a few Norwegians for three minutes — and that’s all.” But people started loving it. Some people say that once you listen to the delightfully silly song, you want to listen to it again and again.

The brothers have been guests on some major North American talk shows. They say they’re happy about the success of their video, but they know that tomorrow something else could come along and be even bigger.

1.What can be learnt about the music video invented by Psy?

A. It featured the traditional style of Korean music.

B. It was difficult for people to follow.

C. It was named after a new virus.

D. It could make people relax a lot.

2.Which of the following best describes the new music video The Fox?

A. It can catch the viewers’ heart easily by its amusing tune and dance.

B. It features the same story with the music video Gagnam Style.

C. It answers the question “What does the fox say?” exactly.

D. It has the real animals in the video.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that nowadays most people ______.

A. like to enjoy music with simple and easy style.

B. have difficulty in understanding the viral movie music.

C. are working hard for the advancement of classic music.

D. are tired of many music videos which are popularized through Internet too quickly.

4.The underlined word “off-guard” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. Annoyed. B. Offended.

C. Unexpected. D. Relaxed.
