The network has 18 lines, 334 stations and 554km (344mi) of track in operation, and is the second longest subway system in the world after the Shanghai Metro. The subway is the worlds busiest in annual ridership, with 3.41 billion trips delivered in 2014, averaging 9.2786 million per day, with peak single-day ridership reaching 11.5595 million. The Beijing Subway opened in 1969 and is the oldest metro system in mainland China. The subway has undergone rapid expansion since 2002, as only two lines were in service before then. The existing network still cannot adequately meet the citys mass transit needs. Beijing Subways extensive expansion plans call for 1,050km (650mi) of lines by 2020. The Beijing Subway is owned by the city of Beijing and has two operators. The main operator is the wholly state-owned Beijing Mass Transit Railway Operation Corp., which operates 15 lines. The second operator is the Beijing MTR Corp., a publicprivate joint venture with the Hong Kong MTR and Beijing Capital Group, a state owned enterprise under the Beijing Municipality, which built and manages three of the newer lines (Line 4, Daxing Line and both sections of Line 14 and is also building Line 16.The Beijing Subway switched from a fixed-fare to a distance-based fare schedule for all lines except the Airport Express. Fares start at 3 for a trip up to 6km in distance, with 1 added for the next 6km, for every 10km thereafter until the trip distance reaches 32km, and for every 20km beyond the first 32km. For example, a 40km trip would cost 7. The Airport Express costs 25 per ride. Children below 1.3 meters (51in) in height ride for free when accompanied by a paying adult. Senior citizens over the age of 65, individuals with physical disabilities, retired revolutionary cadres, police and army veterans who had been wounded in action, military personnel and Peoples Armed Police can ride the subway for free. Riders can look up fares by checking fare schedules posted in stations, calling the subway hot line 96165, going to the Beijing Subway website, or using the subways smart phone app.56. Which of the following sentences is true according to the article? A. Beijing subway has gone through more than sixty years. B. Both operators of the Beijing subway are completely state owned. C. Children below 1.3 meters in height neednt pay for the rides. D. Smart phone app has been available for all the users.57. If a couple with a little baby take Beijing subway for 60 km, how much will the trip cost? A. 14 B. 16C.20D.24BThere are four main areas when it comes to your dogs body language his ears and face, eyes, nose and tail. If you pay attention to those things, youll find you are able to easily understand how your dog is feeling.Ears and faceThe head of a dog is more expressive than you think. If you say a word that he recognizes, like his name or something you say often, his ears will get up. His mouth is another good instruction. A mouth that is wide open to pant (喘气) with some sound suggests that the dog is happy some people even say when a dog is panting, he is laughing as he cools himself. A tongue sticking out suggests that the dog is in a good mood.EyesTo a dog, purple and blue are both seen as shades of blue. Red is seen as black or dark grey. Orange, yellow and green are seen as various shades of yellow. This means that, to a dog, bright orange toys are the same yellow shade. If you want your dog to clearly see his toys in the green grass youd better give the dog blue toys; if you have orange, yellow or green toys, the dog will be able to find them with his nose.NoseA dog can both sniff and breathe through his nose. Breathing is for air, but when dogs sniff with short breaths they are actually following some scents (气味) with his keen (灵敏的) nose. When a dog is overheated, his sense of smell is reduced by as much as 40 percent and he uses the air to cool himself rather than for smelling. Puppies noses can help find their mother when their eyes and ears are closed. The function will disappear by the time they are adults. TailLastly, you need to pay attention to your dogs tail, because it shows what he is thinking and feeling. A dog that is in a good mood will have a tail that seems to be going a mile a minute wagging, and excited. However, an angry or frightened dog will have his tail between his legs.58. The authors purpose in writing the first paragraph is to _.A. introduce the topic of the passage B. explain what is body languageC. call on anyone to protect dogs D. advise you to look after your dog59. When your dog feels happy, he will _.a. keep his mouth wide open soundlessly b. bark all the time in front of youc. open his mouth to breathe with some sound d. keep his tongue sticking outA. a, b B. b, c C. a, d D. c, d 60. Why does your dog use his nose when looking for orange, yellow or green toys in the grass?A. Because he wants to show how keen his nose is.B. Because he cant tell the difference between toys and grass.C. Because these colors are all shades of yellow in his eyes.D. Because his nose is keener than his eyes in the open air.61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last two parts “Nose” and “Tail”?A. When a dog feels too hot, he will lose his sense of smell.B. Adult dogs cant use their nose to find their mothers.C. Dogs often sniff with short breaths when they feel sad.D. A dogs tail cant show his feelings unless he is frightened.CWhen a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely destroyed. Afterward all the local newspapers carried many human-interest stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me. A young woman stood in front of an entirely shattered mobile home, a depressed expression twisting her features. A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast. Clutching (紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear.The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member. With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves. I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and to three- year-old Meghan.“We have so much. And these poor people now have nothing,” I said.“Well share what we have with them.”I brought three large boxes down from the room upstairs and placed them on the living room floor. Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods.While I sorted through our clothes, I encouraged the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys piled up discarded toys and games. “Ill help you find something for the little girl when Im done with this,” I said.The boys placed the toys they had chosen to donate into one of the boxes while I filled the third box with clothes. Meghan walked up with Lucy, her worn, faded, much-loved rag doll hugged tightly to her chest. She paused in front of the box that held the toys, pressed her round little face into Lucys flat, painted-on-face, gave her a final kiss, then laid her gently on the top of other toys.“Oh, Honey,” I said.“You dont have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”Meghan nodded seriously, eyes glistening with held-back tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mommy. Maybe shell make that other little girl happy, too.”Swallowing hard, I stared at Meghan for a long moment, wondering how I could teach the boys the lesson she had just taught me. For I suddenly realized that anyone can give their cast-offs away. True generosity is giving that which you value most.Honest benevolence (善行) is a three-year-old offering a valuable, though shabby, doll to a little girl she doesnt know with the hope that it will bring this child as much pleasure as it brought her. I, who had wanted to teach, had been taught.The boys had watched, open-mouthed, as their baby sister placed her favorite doll in the box. Without a word, Brad rose and went to his room. He came back carrying one of his favorite action figures. He hesitated briefly, clutching the toy, then looked over at Meghan and placed it in the box next to Lucy.A slow smile spread across Bretts face. Then he jumped up, eyes twinkling as he ran to fetch some of his prized Matchbox cars.Astonished, I realized that the boys had also recognized what little Meghans gesture meant. Swallowing back tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms.Taking the cue (暗示) from my little one, I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes. I replaced it with the new hunter green jacket that I had found on sale last week. I hoped the young woman in the pict
