SAN FRANCISCO—A phone app(應(yīng)用程序)in San Francisco gives information about open parking spots.City officials in San Francisco introduced the app to try to reduce traffic jams in the city, but some say it raises safety concerns.
In this city, drivers searching for parking spots lead to 30 percent of all downtown jams, city officials think.Now San Francisco has found a solution — a phone app for spot-seekers that shows information about areas with available spaces.The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors(感應(yīng)器)fixed in streets and city garages that can tell within seconds if a spot has opened up.
But the system could come with serious consequences.Some people say that drivers searching for parking could end up focusing on their phones, not the road.“It could be really distracting(使分心的),” said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.
City officials admitted the hidden problem.They are urging drivers to pull over before they use the city’s iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home. Nathaniel Ford, executive director of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, said safety could actually improve if drivers quickly found a spot instead of circling and getting frustrated.
San Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 parking spots and 12,250 spots in city garages.If spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information available to app users within a minute, said Mr. Ford, of the transportation agency.On the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of places(blue)and which are full(red).
More than 12,000 people have downloaded San Francisco’s app, which is available now only for the iPhone.
1.What is the phone app mentioned in the text mainly aimed at?
A. Benefiting iPhone users.
B. Preventing traffic accidents.
C. Making the traffic flow smoothly.
D.Making full use of the parking spots.
2.According to the text, San Francisco city officials ________.
A. don’t consider the app distracting.
B. are aware of the app’s disadvantages.
C. advise drivers to park cars slowly.
D. believe more parking spots are needed.
3.The phone app mentioned in the text ________.
A. is a bit slow in reacting
B. hasn’t been put into service
C. was introduced several years ago
D. can’t be downloaded to all phones
4.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. A phone app has been introduced to relieve the pressure on traffic in the city.
B. Safety concerns are voiced about a phone app aimed at helping drivers find parking spots.
C. Looking for parking spots contributes greatly to downtown traffic jams.
D. Drivers’ attention is distracted in one way or another when they are driving.

Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift(輪班)went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.
At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pm sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “You probably don’t remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. and Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 pm, the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild. Mr. Lee, his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together.
The last year I saw him, he brought me a gift. I carefully opened the package and found a crystal bell inside. It was carved with a single word: Friendship. Now, my family, friends and I ring that bell every Christmas Eve at exactly 9 pm and offer our best wishes to the man who we won’t forget.
1.The author had to work the night shift on Christmas Eve probably because ______.
A. she was a new arrival

A. To honor an old friend of hers.
B. To offer best wishes to her family and friends.

Complete the following sentence:“You go to the library to check out ...?” The obvious answer is “books”.But a harder question might be, “What do we mean by ‘books’?” Nowadays, electronic books, or “e?books”, have become more and more popular in American society.
The biggest online bookseller Amazon, for example, recently announced that less than four years after introducing them to its catalog, it is now selling more electronic versions of its book titles than printed ones.
Last week, Pew Internet Project released a survey about the use of e?books by library customers.It found that 12% of Americans aged 16 and older who read e?books say they had borrowed at least one from a library within the past year.But the survey found that the broader public, including 58% of those who have library cards and 53% of people who own electronic book readers, are not aware that they can find and check out e?books from public libraries, even though three quarters of the libraries offer that service.
Pew Internet Project director Lee Rainie noted that e?book borrowing is becoming more popular at the same time that publishers, who are selling plenty of e?books and fewer hard?copy editions, are worried that free e?book check?outs at the library will hurt sales.In February, for example, the big publisher Penguin Books stopped supplying new e?books and audio books to libraries.Penguin just reached an agreement to resume supplying one big library system in New York City but not until six months after new titles are released.That way, those who want the latest books will have to buy them.
So things are a little murky (陰暗的) in the library world when it comes to electronic books.More and more customers want them, but publishers are giving the libraries a hard time about offering them.Demand is not the problem.Supply may soon be.
1.What is the function of the two questions in the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic of the passage.
B. To stress the popularity of e?books.
C. To show what the author cares about.
D. To remind us of the change at the library.
2.According to Paragraph 2, what can we know about Amazon?
A. It has sold e?books for five years.
B. Its e?books are cheaper than printed books.
C. It has the best e?books among all libraries.
D. Its e?books sell better than printed books.
3.We know from the survey done by Pew Internet Project that ________.
A. few library customers know how to read e?books
B. the promotional effort at e?book readers is not big enough
C. library customers should be reminded about the e?book service
D. more library cards should be offered to readers free of charge
4.Why did Penguin Books NOT supply new e?books to libraries?
A. Because they are not allowed to offer e?books.
B. Because they wanted to increase the sales of printed books.
C. Because they didn't want their e?books to be copied.
D. Because their products were not welcomed there.

“One City One Book” is a generic name (通稱) for a community reading program that attempts to get everyone in a city to read and discuss the same book.Popular book picks have been Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird,Ernest Gaines’s A Lesson Before Dying,and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.
“One City One Book” programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city.The first such program was “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” in 1998,started by Nancy Pearl at Seattle Public Library’s Washington Center for the Book.The book chosen for the program was The Sweet Hereafter by Russell Banks,written in 1991.Other cities copied the idea,and the Library of Congress listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.
Each city’s program has its own goals;these typically include building a sense of community and promoting literacy.Nancy Pearl warns against expecting too much from a program:“Keep in mind that this is a library program,it’s not an exercise in civics,and that it’s not intended to have literature cure the racial divide.This is about a work of literature.”
Programs typically involve more than having everyone read the same book.Some other activities that have been included are:book discussion sessions,scholarly lectures on the book or related topics,a visit by the author,exhibits,related arts programming (especially showing a movie of the book if there is one),and integration into school curricula.In Boston the “One City One Story” program used shorter stories and distributed tens of thousands of free copies of the story over the course of a month.
American Library Association puts out a detailed step?by?step guide on how to organize a local program,including the critical step of picking the one book.The Center for the Book at the Library of Congress tracks all known programs and the books they have used.
1.“One City One Book” programs ________.
A.a(chǎn)sk everyone in a city to donate one book
B.can rid a city of racial divide through reading
C.choose short stories for people to read
D.encourage everyone in a city to read and discuss the same book
2.We know from the second paragraph that “One City One Book” programs ________.
A.became popular very quickly
B.have been held more than 400 times in Seattle
C.were sponsored by the Library of Congress
D.reached its peak in 2007
3.We can infer from the third paragraph that Nancy Pearl ________.
A.expects much from the programs
B.didn’t expect that the programs would run so well
C.has a practical attitude towards the programs
D.believes the programs will push forward community building
4.What kind of role does American Library Association play in the programs?

It’s 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (鬧鐘) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise, I feel extremely tired, but a smile is of my face. It’s a smile because the DVD is over, but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.
Some people enjoy shopping,smoking,food,work,or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother’s chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years,I have learned it’s okay to just say “no.” I shouldn’t feel sorry for refusing food that I don’t want to eat.
So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a.m.? What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases self–confidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It’s through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
1.Why is there a smile on the author’s face in the morning?
A. Because she sees her family sleeping peacefully.
B. Because she feels a sense of achievement.
C. Because she enjoys the interesting DVD.
D. Because she finishes her favorite exercise.
2.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?
A. Others don’t understand what she does.
B. She likes to make others surprised.
C. She doesn’t like others politely.
D. Others try to help her by offering her food.
3.What does the underlined word “commitment” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Good health. B. A regular habit.
C. A strong power. D. Firm belief.
4.What can we learn about the author from the text?
A. She aims to develop a good body shape.
B. She wants to look different from others.
C. She acts in a strange way.
D. She has difficulty getting along with others.

When we’re young and we dream of love and fulfillment, we think perhaps of moon-covered Parisian nights or walks along the beach at sunset. No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.
Not long ago,as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie,I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.
I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.
Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚禮服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was. I didn’t realize that Sam had stood up next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, “Dance with me.”
If only those women walking under the Paris moon knew the joy of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth. Although shoppers openly chuckled(咯咯笑) and pointed at us as we glided and whirled(旋轉(zhuǎn)) around the open space, I would not have traded a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.
1.From the passage we know .
A. Annie knew how important she was to her mother
B. shoppers didn’t notice the author dancing with her son
C. there are bedtime stories in the Tale of Samuel Whiskers
D. Sam was not surprised at the music which was played in the store
2.When the author knew her daughter could not stop looking at her pretty face, she felt .
A. sad B. deeply moved
C. annoyed D. ashamed
3.Why wouldn’t the author trade a dance with her son even if she was given the world?
A. Because she knew she wouldn’t be given the universe.
B. Because her son was the most important person to her.
C. Because she thought she was the happiest one at the moment.
D. Because it was very important for the author to dance with her son.
4.What does the author want to prove by showing two examples of her kids?
A. Her kids love her very much.
B. She enjoys staying with her kids.
C. The greatest moments of a lifetime always come unexpectedly.
D. Those women walking under the moon should enjoy the happiness with kids.
