     I paid a visit to Cambridge last January.  Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day
with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit.
     The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived, which wasted more
time than we expected. Tired with long sitting, one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The
driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, "Either you get off or sit
down. "To him, safety is the first policy.
     Cambridge consists of nearly thirty colleges.  The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th
century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s. The number of the students is so great that many
students live in lodgings(出租房)and move into college for their final year.
     Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university
buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The
heart of Cambridge has shops, pubs, and supermarkets, but most of it is university-colleges, departments,
libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops, cafes, banks and
churches, making these as well part of the university.
     With over 10, 000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here
are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break, better stop a
moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions, carrying students from one college or
lecture room to another.

1. The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________

A. bad weather                        
B. unexpected stops of the bus
C. one passenger                        
D. an accident on the way

2. Why is Cambridge called a university town?

A. It has 10, 000 undergraduates and postgraduates.
B. There are nearly thirty colleges in the town.
C. All the students and staff live in the town.
D. The university and town are fully combined.

3. It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take________as their first means of transport.

A. boats          
B. cars          
C. bicycles          
D. buses

I fell in love with England because it was quaint (古雅)—all those little houses, looking terribly old-fashioned but nice, like dolls’ houses. I loved the countryside and the pubs, and I loved London. I’ve slightly changed my mind after seventeen years because I think it’s an ugly town now.

Things have changed. For everybody, England meant gentlemen, fair play, and good manners. The fair play is going, unfortunately, and so are the gentlemanly attitudes and good manners—people shut doors heavily in your face and politeness is disappearing.

I regret that there are so few comfortable meeting places. You’re forced to live indoors. In Paris I go out much more, to restaurants and nightclubs. To meet friends here it usually has to be in a pub, and it can be difficult to go there alone as a woman. The cafes are not terribly nice.

As a woman, I feel unsafe here. I spend a bomb on taxis because I will not take public transport after 10 p.m. I used to use it, but now I’m afraid.

The idea of family seems to be more or less non-existent in England. My family is well united and that’s typically French. In Middlesex I had a neighbor who is 82 now. His family only lived two miles away, but I took him to France for Christmas once because he was always alone.

1.The writer doesn’t like London because she__________.

A. is not used to the life there now

B. has lived there for seventeen years

C. prefers to live in an old-fashioned house

D. has to be polite to everyone she meets there

2.Where do people usually meet their friends in England?

A. In a cafe.                       B. In a restaurant.

C. In a nightclub.                    D. In a pub.

3.The underlined part “it” (in Para.4) refers to__________.

A. a taxi                           B. the money

C. a bomb                          D. public transport

4.The writer took her neighbor to France for Christmas because he__________.

A. felt lonely in England

B. had never been to France

C. was from a typical French family

D. didn’t like the British idea of family

A
It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle.As Christmas drew nearer,her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade,or so we thought.We bought the latest rages,Baby-Sitter’s Club dolls,and a doll house.Then,much to our surprise。on December 23rd,she said that she“really wanted a bike more than anything else”.
It was just too late,what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts,to take the time to select the“right bike”for our little girl.So here we were---Christmas Eve around 9:00 P.M,with Almie and her six-year-old brother,Dylan,nested snug in their beds.Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.“What if I make a little bicycle out of clay(a kind of earth)and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked.“This is an expensive item and she is‘such a big girl’,and it would be much better for her to pick it out.”So he spent the next four hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike.
On Christmas morning,we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note.Finally,she opened it and read the note aloud.“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”Beaming,I said,“Yes.”Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied.“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me.I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.”At that moment,we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!

A.Because he wanted to buy a real one,but he had no money.
