27、I'm ashamed to say that,as the years have gone by,I haven't taken the time to walk around my neighborhood. Sure.I'm out and about all the time but always in the car to my way out of the neighborhood.

The main reason is that I don't love my neighborhood anymore.I'm referring to the place,not the people. My street used to come to an end in a forest. We would walk the dogs in the forest that always had nice,seasonal flowers and shrubs(灌木)coming up all year round. Now it's gone and been replaced(取代)by a forest of high-rise buildings.

Pretty down because of some annoying( 频人 的） office work these days.I decided I just had to get out and walk today. It started at the building "forest". I still felt pain in my heart from the sight and I missed those days of walking the dog and taking in the beauty of the trees and shrubs and flowers.

As I continued on, though.I came across this. .

Some very artistic children created some lovely, colorful artwork and I couldn't help but think they must have been trying to make me and everyone else just feel better. It certainly worked on me. Thank you,thoughtful artists!

At one point,I saw a man walking across one of the wider, busier streets. I shouted,"I just wanted to say hi to someone!" He answered,looking very friendly and happy,smiling and waving（挥手）.

As I walked near the last couple of streets of my walk, the winds began to blow. There were dark clouds behind me so I decided to head home. Luckily, the rain didn't come down until I was resting on the sofa.""

I was glad I went out.

28、Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.

A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes；one is injured every nine minutes, according to official date. Crosswalk can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The Federal Highway Administration（FHWA）advises that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears .

FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.

Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006. But among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says.

【1】Which of the following is true according to the text?

A．Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70.

B．Old people are more likely to meet with accidents in crosswalks.

C．Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people.

D．About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.

【2】What is FHWA’s suggestion to states?

A．Fixing more traffic lights.

B．Providing more crosswalks.

C．Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.

D．Increasing the time before the orange lights appear.

【3】What’s the cause of the crosswalk safety problem according to the test?

A．There’re many cars and buses on the road.

Three weeks into her treatment, while looking out at the other children who were also going through cancer treatment, Jessie asked her parents, “How can we help them?” She wanted to comfort the kids.

Jessie passed away less than a year from her diagnosis, but her parents keep the joy alive. More than 400,000 JoyJars have been delivered to children going through cancer treatment all ever the world. For each, there is a bit of joy to help them through the tough times. And to give them courage, there’s also a note, Never Ever Give Up. “Jessie would never ever give up,” says Erik. “And either will we.

32、短文续写

Once upon a time, in a small town, a man stole some money from a house. The police began to look for the thief. After two days, they found him. They brought him to the police station and found some of the money in his coat.

There was a new policeman at the police station, and they wanted to give him some work.

“Take this thief to the city,” said one of them.” You must go there by train. It will leave very soon. Don’t be late.

“The policeman and the thief went to the station. On their way, they came to a shop selling bread.

“We have no food, and we must eat something on the train,” said the thief. “It’s a long way to the city, and it will take a long time to get there. I’ll go into this shop and buy some bread. Then you and I can eat it on the train. Wait here for me.

The policeman was happy. “At least I’ll have some food on the train,” he thought. “Be quick,” he said to the thief. “We don’t have much time.”

The thief went into the shop, and the policeman waited in the street for a long time. He began to worry. He thought about the train, and at last, he went into the shop.

“Where’s that man who came to buy some bread?” asked the policeman.

“Oh. he went out of the back door,” said the shopkeeper.

The policeman ran outside, but he could not find the thief. So, he had to go back to the police station and tell the others what had happened. They were very angry with him, and he was very unhappy.

All the policemen in the town began to look for the thief again, and they soon caught him. They brought him back to the police station and called the same policeman.
