MONTREAL (Reuters) – Crossing the US-Canada border (边界) to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $ 10,000 for breaking Washington’s strict new security (安全) rules.

     The expensive trip to church was a surprise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-dozen people of Township 15, crossing the border is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.

There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5,530-mile border between Canada and the US – which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.

     As a result, Albert says he did not expect any p0roblems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Canada, as usual, The US customs (海关) station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the pate appeared last May, following a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally (非法).

     Ottawa has given out sp0ecial passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border checkpoint.

     Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I’m living in a p0rison,”he said.

Cars are too expensive for many people around the world to own. Not only that, many cities are already full of traffic, and many country areas have rough roads.

        So   1    do people travel those distances that are too far to walk? They use public transportation. If you ride the subway or bus   2   you live, you can appreciate some of the benefits of public transportation. With many people           3       (share) one bus or train, there is less traffic and, more  4    （importance）, less pollution.

       Which of the types of mass transit   5    (describe) below are you familiar with? If a regular bus can hold       dozens of people, imagine what a bus   6            (two) the size can hold! In Great Britain, there are many buses that are known as double-deckers (cars with two floors).

        Buses in Haiti are often very crowded. It’s not   7    (common) for passengers to actually sit on the rooftops. Buses are sometimes called “tap-taps”, because the    8     (ride) on the roof tap（敲击）when they want to be dropped off.

        Many large cities around the world take advantage of the space beneath the streets and run underground trains.

Both the Japanese and French have developed        High-speed trains to link various cities.

  10   situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger

and pride. They are all   11   of peace and will play ruin with your harmony.

  12   has been said that if these emotions or feelings were forgotten, the world would live in permanent peace. Well, to banish（消除） them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn't be too   13   to rid them from your own life.

Develop features such as smart, social, and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.

Everything you do has an   14   on those around you. The way you move, whether you   15   or frown. You are capable of making someone's day bright or miserable.
