8.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.
33.In the second paragraph,the underlined word"It"refers toC.
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.
34.When on the escalator,a majority of local people in Hong KongD.
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.
35.Which of the following statements is the writer's opinion?B
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.

20.You've probably heard of working dogs that help police officers,or horses that help farmers.Did you know that carrier pigeons(信鸽)can be trained to help people too?Here are some examples.
Mailman
Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people.The note is placed into a small can.The can is tied to the pigeon's leg.Then the pigeon flies off with the note.
Lifeguard
From high up in the sky,specially trained pigeons can find orange life jackets in the ocean.Sometimes it is difficult for humans to find people lost at sea,especially when the weather is bad.However,pigeons can fly quickly over a large area of water to look for people.
Spy
Many years ago,carrier pigeons were used to help our country during wars (战争)."Spy pigeons"had small cameras that were tied to their feet.As a pigeon flew over enemy (敌人)land,the camera took photos of the land below.This would allow our soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing.
So next time you see a pigeon,stop and watch it closely.What might look like an ordinary bird to most people,might actually be helpful.
5.What kind of people can the carrier pigeons find?A

17.Loving Life in Moosonee
Born in Moose Factory Island,located about 12miles inland from the James Bay coastline in northern Ontario,I spent my early childhood years in nearby Moose River Crossing.Our family returned to Moose Factory later,so my siblings(兄弟姐妹)and I could continue our education,(21)as/because/since the local school had been closed down.
Moose River Crossing is situated along the only railroad track in Canada that reaches all the way up to the northern community of Moosonee,Ont.,which later(22)became (become)-and still is-my true hometown.
(23)While/When/As my siblings and I were growing up,I always sensed something was missing in my life,(24)something fundamental to my very identity,to who I was and where I came from.Over the years,I began to learn more(25)about my Native culture,the history and our way of life.Then,in 2009,I met a man who later became my husband.(26)Being(be) an ambassador of the land and a hunter,my husband taught me how to hunt,fish,set nets,snare rabbits,make a fire in the rain,read the weather and drive a boat.Even after having lived in Moosonee for 26years,I had never experienced and learned so much on the land and the mighty Moose River,(27)where the sunsets are breathtakingly beautiful,as I did in the relatively short time I've known my husband.
I am so thankful and proud(28)to be given(give) the opportunity to lead this kind of lifestyle,which someday will be passed on to my grandchildren.
Today,I continue to trace my roots and try to live my life according to them.I have also been back to Moose River Crossing after being away for many years.My older sister and only brother,both hunters,along with a few nephews and nieces,continue to carry on the traditions of our ancestors in Moose River Crossing.
Every year,our family gathers for a spring hunt,mainly geese and ducks.In summertime,we go fishing and,in the fall,we head out hunting.In addition to (29)adding(add) to our foods for the year,these excursions are (30)where our family stories and recollections are shared the most.And there are plenty of stories to go around,all of which are close to my heart and a big part of who I am today.
