New York City is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move on their way to work and school?

In New York you can travel by subways, bus, taxi and private (私人的) car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes to all parts of the city. Travelling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.

The second way to travel is by bus. It is a slower way to travel.

You can also travel by taxi. This is very expensive, but the taxi will take you to every place you want to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.

The last way is to use your private car. It’s not good to drive during the “rush hour”. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.

The best time to travel is from 9 a.m to 4.pm . Traffic will be less crowded during this time because most people are already at school or at work at that time.

1.How many ways of travelling are mentioned in the passage?

A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five

2.The word “rush hour” in Chinese means _____________.

A.高峰時(shí)間. B. 匆忙時(shí)間 C. 沖刺時(shí)間 D. 繁忙時(shí)間

3.The fastest way to travel in New York City is ________________.

A. by bus B. by subway

C. by taxi D. by private car

4.From the last paragraph we know that in New York City ____________.

A. there is no “rush hour” from 9.am to 4 p.m.

B. traffic is heavy at noon.

C. most Americans have lunch at home.

D. people go to work and school at 9:00.

Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.

If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.

Communication begins with the concerns (關(guān)心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and take no notice to anyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.

If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表達(dá)) of information, correspondence (通信), means of communication： a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.

When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, and ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.

Here is an example： one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let it go. Communication is the key here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.

Communication isn’t a one-way matter： it goes both ways. Just remember： if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel-------listening is the key to communication.

1.In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.

A. more difficult B. much easier

C. less interesting D. more interesting

2.The underlined phrase “ drift apart” in Paragraph 2 means __________.

A. keep up with others

B. move along smoothly

C. distance yourself form others

D. come closer to each other

3.The example in Paragraph 6 shows that ___________.

A. Sophie is very polite to her parents

B. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her

C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late

D. communication is the solution to misunderstanding

4.All the following statements are correct except “_______”.

A. Communication is a two-way matter

B. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing

C. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know

D. When dealing with parents, you only need to listen to them

Starting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to see your friends again. But most exciting of all, the new term is a chance to take up new hobbies. It is common in Britain for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Deciding to start something new is a common New Year plan.

Most schools provide different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free periods or after school. Some classes you have to pay for and others are free. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics (體操) class in my school. But when I learnt how to play the drum(鼓) my parents had to pay for the lessons.

The most popular hobby classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed than those without any. But the students with hobbies left school with some more skills.

I haven’t continued any of the hobbies I began at school. But I have never regretted(遺憾、懊悔) taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class.

1. The most exciting thing in a new school term is to .

A. meet your friends again B. start a new hobby

C. learn new subjects D. stay with your teachers again

2. The most popular hobby classes in the writer’s school are .

A. gymnastics and playing the drum

B. drama club and piano lessons

C. drama club and playing the drum

D. gymnastics and piano lessons

3. Which of the following statements is right?

A. Students can take all hobby classes for free every term.

B. Few students in Britain take up new hobbies in a new term.

C. Students with many hobbies feel more excited at school.

D. one can make many friends in his or her hobby classes.

The story goes that some time ago, a man punished (懲罰) his 3-year-old daughter for wasting a roll (卷) of gold paper.
