3．Below are some choices to getting around London by public transportation

Tubes The London Underground，commonly referred to as the‘Tube'，is the oldest and most extensive underground system in the world and pervades（遍及）both the life and layout of London．Twelve underground lines，each with a different name and colour，are supplemented by the privately operated Docklands Light Railway （tel：（020）7363 9700）connecting the City of London and the Docklands．The entire network is divided into six concentric zones，which determine the price of tickets．In the city centre （zone one） a single ticket costs£1.50，otherwise single fares are£0.90 （one zone） up to£2.20 （four zones）．Carnets of ten zone-one tickets cost£11．Tickets must be passed through the barrier ticket gates in order for the passenger to enter and leave the system （and avoid a£10 penalty（损失）fare）．The London Underground runs 05：30-24：30 but should be avoided （where possible） during rush hour-08：00-09：30 and 17：00-18：30 Monday to Friday．   Double-decker buses London's famous red‘Routemaster'double-decker buses are slowly being replaced by more modern single and double deckers．There are now only two fare zones．Any journey that includes the city centre zone is£1 and any journey outside this zone is 70p．Tickets are bought from the driver or bus conductor upon boarding and there is a£5 fine for travelling without a valid ticket．Carnets of six tickets （for any zone） can be purchased for£3.90．   Ferries There are a number of services operating on the Thames．Commuter ferries between the Savoy Pier （Embankment） and Greenland Pier （Greenwich） are run by Collins River Enterprises （tel：（020）7977 6892； website：www．thamescat．com ）．Fares cost between£1.50 and£2.70 for a single and£2.50 and£4.70 return．Riverside Launches （tel：020 7352 5888）operate a commuter service between Chelsea/Cadogan and Embankment for£4 （single） or£8 （return）．These commuter services operate between Monday and Friday 06：35-19：44．

Once in London，there are a number of passes available，including the One-day Travelcard for£4 （used after 09：30 Monday to Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday） and the£6 Weekend Travelcard，which is used on Saturday and Sunday （or public holidays）．Weekly，monthly and annual passes must be accompanied by a photocard．Tickets can be purchased at the station-carnets and some passes can be bought at participating newsagents and supermarkets

1．Scientists in Mexico have just begun a new study of one of the world's biggest pyramids（金字塔）：the Pyramid of the Sun，north of Mexico City．They're putting lots of small，high-tech machines under the pyramid to try to unlock some of its secrets．For thousands of years，people have tried to uncover the secrets of the pyramids．
The people who built the pyramids made lots of secret doors and rooms to stop robbers from finding the treasures inside．However，there always have been some smart thieves in history．Now，almost all of Egypt's pyramids have been robbed，including the Great Pyramid of Khufu，which is the largest pyramid in the world．It is the only one of the ancient wonders of the world that is still standing．
In AD 820，an Arab king named Abdullah AL Manum got a group of workers to dig their way into the Great Pyramid and have a look．Inside the pyramid，they found three rooms-the Queen's Chamber，the Grand Gallery and the King's Chamber．But to their surprise，the men didn't find the treasures they wanted．The Queen's and King's Chambers were both empty!Where were the King's mummy and his treasures？Had someone already taken them away？The huge stone doors at the pyramid's entrance were still closed when AL Manum's men went inside．How had the thieves got in and out？
Since then，many people have gone inside the Great Pyramid to have a look or to try to take things．But still，no other chambers or walkways have been found．
In 2002，an American team made the most recent visit to the Great Pyramid．Scientists sent a robot into the pyramid，but they only found a mysterious locked stone door．

20．Here's a movie-a sharp，sugar-rush of fun that's guaranteed to entertain the entire family．
With some terrific computer-generated effects，a great cast and a fun-packed storyline，Robots is the best animated film （动画片） since The Incredibles．Yep，it really is that good．
Set in a world populated by robots，Ewan McGregor plays Rodney Copperbottom，a young robot who leaves his small-town home to pursue his dream of becoming an inventor．
But after arriving in Robot City，his hopes of getting a job at Bigweld Industries are destroyed when he learns the firm has been taken over by the evil Ratchet （Greg Kinnear）．
Egged on by his controlling mum，Madame Gasket （Jim Broadbent），Ratchet plans to reduce half of Robot City's citizens to scrap metal by refusing to sell the spare parts they need to survive．
Instead，he wants to make a fortune selling expensive upgrades that few can afford．As he says，"Why be you when you can be new？"
Aided by a few misfit robots known as the Rustles-including Robin Williams as the cowardly'（胆小的）Fender （"I'm made of a metal called Afraidium"）-Rodney must track down the firm's founder，Bigweld （Mel Brooks），and convince him to save the city from Ratchet's plans．
The first thing that'll strike you about the movie is the thought that's gone into creating Robot City．It's a wondrous world full of mechanical marvels including wind-up cars and walking streetlamps．
Also terrific are the special effects．This might be an animated movie but at times you'll catch yourself thinking it's really a live-action film．
Of course，there have been plenty of animated movies that looked the part but were let down by a weak storyline （see Shark Tale，for example）．
But Robots grips （扣人心弦） right from the start thanks to a heart-warming and thoroughly engaging plot that never bores．
My only complaints are with Williams who，as usual，has a one-in-10success rate with his jokes．Also a letdown is a romantic subplot between Rodney and a shapely robot called Cappy （Halle Berry） that doesn't go anywhere．
Complains aside，this is a mechanical marvel that'll have you bolted firmly to your seat．
BEST QUOTE（引述）：Fender："Even though you had a discouraging day，just remember there's another one coming tomorrow．"
BEST BIT：Check out those amazing images．
WORST BIT：Robin Williams，character does an unfunny Britney Spears dance routine．
IF YOU LIKED…Ice Age，The Incredibles，Toy Story…YOU'LL LIKE THIS．

56、This piece of writing is aB．

58．What is Shark Tale an example of？B

He is Ender Wiggin，15，the main character of the hit US sci-fi movie Ender's Games，which came out on Jan.7，2014 in china．
The story opens in 2086，50 years after an insect-like alien race，called the Formics，attacked the Earth and killed tens of millions of people before being driven back to their home planet．Since then，human beings have been in a state of fear，awaiting a second attack．

After the college entrance examination，most students will face a seriously question：Should they choose a good major and a good university first？Some students preferred to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in．This will make it possible for them to take their most favorite job in the future．Therefore，those who think differently believe that the learning environment is important and that graduates from a leading university is more likely to find good jobs．
In my opinion，the best choice is good major at a good university．If we cannot obtain all，the first thing to consider is a good major，because wherever they study，we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best．

15．The Puritans （新教徒） get a bad reputation in America-especially when it comes to alcohol．
Mayflower，the first ship that came over from England to Massachusetts Bay，actually carried more beer than water．In fact the Founding Fathers of America liked a drink-Samuel Adams was a partner in his father brewery，and Thomas Jefferson was famous for importing European wines．
Early Americans took a healthful small drink for breakfast，whiskey was a typical lunchtime drinks ale （麦芽酒） accompanied supper and the day ended with another drink called nightcap．Most Americans in 1790 consumed an average of 5.8 gallons of pure alcohol a year．In 1830，consumption reached 7.1 gallons a year and alcoholism was starting to have a serious influence on communities．Women and children might be in physical danger if the man of the house began drinking．If he became ill or lost his job through drinking，there was no social safety net to support or protect his family．Eventually，alcoholism was being treated as a disease．
By the late 19th Century，support for Prohibition，banning the manufacture and sale of alcohol，was powerful．The first arrest for driving under the influence of alcohol was in 1897．On 16 January 1919，Prohibition was set into law．However，by the 1930s when American economy was experiencing a hard time it was widely believed that making alcohol legal again would provide badly-needed jobs and taxes．So in February of 1933，Prohibition was ended．Still，Prohibition had a great influence on alcohol drinking in this country．In 1955，Americans drank an average of 2.3 gallons of pure alcohol a year．The Prohibition movement was still quite strong after Prohibition ended and it led to a lot of local prohibition on alcohol．
The American presidency has done a lot to rehabilitate alcohol and make it respectable again．Presidents Richard Nixon，Jimmy Carter，Bill Clinton，Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama can all be seen on film drinking socially and making official toasts with international celebrities．

I believe in myself now．I am a better mother to my three boys．I feel stronger．I am a happier person all around．I have even registered for my very first 5K walk/run．I have a newfound love for life and want to inspire others to believe in themselves，so last October I became a BeachBody coach to help others in their fitness journeys．I have always enjoyed helping others，and now I want to be able to help people change their lives．
