26、That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

27、   Getting stuck in a traffic jam is one of the most boring problems for people living in big cities. The fact that you’re moving so slowly leads to stress, anger and the wish that your car could just fly over the traffic like an airplane.

Soon, however, that wish could come true. On May 8, US car-renting company Uber showed off what it described as “the transportation mode of the future: on-demand air transport,” reported ABC News.

According to Nikhill Goel, head of products for Uber Air, the company’s air taxi service may start test flights in the US cities of Dallas and Los Angeles, as well as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, as early as 2020. If everything goes according to plan, passengers will be able to fly to work by 2023.

When the Olympics comes to Los Angeles in 2028, Uber “expects to have hundreds, if not thousands, of its airplanes in the skies.” Goel told Newsweek.

So what would Uber’s flying vehicles be like?

They are small, electric airplanes that take off and land up and down, they give off zero emissions (排放) and are quiet enough to operate in cities.

Just like an airplane, the vehicles will have fixed wings to help them glide. But while a helicopter has just one big fixed rotor (螺旋桨), Uber’s vehicles will have many rotors, which will help increase fuel efficiency (效率) while reducing emissions and noise.

Because of these fixed wings and many rotors, Uber’s flying taxis “should be quieter and safer than a helicopter.” reported ABC News .

However, the service still has a long way to go before it’s ready to accept passengers, for example, to avoid any possible accidents. Uber is working with NASA to study air traffic control problems connected with low-flying aircraft. But just as Dubai’s Mayor Betty Price said, “This program is revolutionary and future-oriented (面向未来的).”

【1】Uber’s flying taxis are expected to start to take passengers in 　　   .

A. 2020 B. 2023

C. 2028 D. 2030

【2】How are Uber’s flying taxis different from helicopters?

A. They have one big rotor. B. They need more fuel to fly.

C. They have fewer fixed wings. D. They should be quieter and safer.

【3】Which is TRUE about the flying cars according to the passage?

A. They nearly do no harm to the environment.

B. They must be in larger number a few years later.

C. They will surely help passengers avoid accidents.

D. They can be as efficient as airplanes and helicopters.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. The advantages of Uber’s flying taxis.

B. Uber’s plan to start the business of flying taxis.

C. Different opinions about Uber’s flying taxis.

D. The difficulties Uber is facing in testing flying vehicles.

28、   To joke around is to have fun with someone. To fool someone is to try to make them believe something that is not true. 【1】

April 1st is known as the day to fool people with practical jokes, pranks or harmless tricks. 【2】 Some say April Fools' Day began as one big mistake.

Many centuries ago, people in the Western world used the Julian calendar. 【3】 However, when people began using the Gregorian calendar, the New Year was moved to January 1st. Those who forgot the change and tried to celebrate New Year's Day on the wrong date were teased and called 'April fools'. This is just one of the many theories behind the origin of April Fools' Day. 【4】

The fool is a common character in art, music and literature. William Shakespeare is famous for his fools. And fools make for great pop songs. Fools are found in many words, expressions and proverbs. To be foolhardy means to do something that are too dangerous or risky. For example, it is foolhardy to hike up a mountain during a heavy snowstorm. If something is foolproof, it is planned or made so well that nothing could go wrong. 【5】

'Look, I don't want to get into trouble. This plan of yours sounds risky. '

'My plan is foolproof. Nothing will go wrong as long as you do exactly as I say. '

A.Not even a fool could mess it up.

B.And that is the purpose of April Fools' Day.

C.They celebrated the New Year on April 1st.

D.Even a smart person can be a fool at times.

E.But the tradition remains the same—to fool someone.

F.Fools also find themselves in many proverbs.

G.But how did this tradition begin?

29、   Marian Wright Edelman, an American lawyer, educator and children’s rights activist, was born on June 6,1939 in South Carolina, one of five children. Her father Arthur Wright was preacher (牧师) who died when she was only 14 years old. In his last words to her, he advised her not to “let anything get in the way of your education.”

The couple had three sons: Joshua, Jonah and Ezra. Jonah is the founder of Stand for Children, group that promotes children’s education, and Ezra is documentary (记录片) filmmaker who won an Emmy for his film “O.J. : Made in America.”

Edelman is the writer of many books for children and adults. Her titles for readers include I’m Your child, God: Prayers for Our Children, Guide My Feet: Prayers and Meditations for Our Children, Lanterns: A Memoir of Mentors, and The Measure of Our Success: A Letter to My Children and Yours, which was a surprising success.
