Subway is always my favorite transportation. To me , it is more than just a convenient way to go around, it is also a way you can feel the heart-beat of a city. In Shanghai, it jumps in perfect. In Paris, it is silent and slow. In New York, it is busy, busy and busy.
During rush hour in New York, it will be full of people. You’d better be careful which stairs you are using. If you go wrong , don’t be surprised if someone calls “idiot”, and don’t be shy to call back. The trains here are like working bees, running within the day’s enormous underground system. They live in the dark all year long, breathing hard together with shameless NY rats and trash.
In summer , the underground is nasty since there is no air conditioning. However, it can be street performers’ favorite in winter--- dry, warm, fits so well with the free, creative atmosphere. They can be bands, doing music or dance, with instruments or voices. There was a young man making storm like intense(强烈的)music by hitting some buckets with hands. There was also a band of three black men, singing together with their pure voices. It is New York City. You are expecting to see those performers in different colors , ages doing all sorts of stuff from Chinese Erhu to African drums. It is like a romance between a small, beautiful ballad dancer a giant, iron cold wrestler.
Late night, when everything dies down, the trains are still running but picking up fewer and fewer people. They are like the city, too tough to feel lonely, too focused to stop working.

A. the author often travels with his family by subway.

57. If you don’t use the right stairs in the underground station, you will ____________.
A. be fined by the policeman B. miss the subway you’ll take.
C. be looked down on by New Yorkers D. be laughed at by New Yorkers
58. We can learn from the third paragraph that ___________
A. art is NYC subway’s best reward to the travelers.
B. nobody likes to stay in the underground in summer.
C. travelers don’t like the music from the underground.
D. only folk music can be enjoyed in the underground
59. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Thought from NYC Subway B. Bad Experiences in NYC Subway
C. The Train in NYC Subway D. A Glimpse of NYC Subway
One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk．He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase．I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store．
On the outside was a dark-skinned young man in his early twenties．His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, bright smile covered his face．I gave in immediately．The power of that broad smile dissolved all bitterness within me, and I felt the muscles in my own face happily responding．
“Beautiful day, isn’t it?” I remarked, in passing．Then I turned back． “I really owe you a debt of thanks,” I said softly．
His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer．A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby．The woman stepped forward and volunteered, “Sir, but he doesn't speak English．Do you want me to tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed．The young man's smile had made a big person of me．My friendliness and good will toward all mankind stand ten feet tall．
“Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said, ‘Thank you’!”
“Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly puzzled．
I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave． “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He'll understand．I am sure!”.
Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning．From that day on, I became smile-conscious, and I practice the art diligently anywhere and everywhere, with everybody．
