The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.Transportation for people with disabilities Public transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.Etiquette on public transportation When taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note: Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call. If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by. Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space. Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.21. What is the advantages of using transit passes over buying tickets? A.Lower costs. B. Safer trips. C.Longer service hours . D. More use of transport.22. How does the transportation system help people with disabilities? A. By offering fewer transportation options. B. By running special transport services. C. By limiting their mobility on city buses. D. By providing free rides in towns and cities.23. What is considered impolite on public transportation? A. Lowering your speaking voice. B. Placing backpacks at your feet.C. Having your proof of payment at hand. D. Staying close to other passengers.BMany people in the world might think that being educated is somewhat not important. However, knowledge is just the basic thing you can get from education. Of course, you will know various things from history to mathematics, from science to literature, This knowledge will definitely play a huge role in your life and guide you to fully understand events in a right manner.Being educated will allow you to know not only your responsibilities as a citizen, but also the rights（权力） you can enjoy. Perhaps knowing about your rights, such as consumer rights against cheating (欺诈) from business owners, can greatly help to raise your voice if you notice that there is something wrong around you.Humankind is considered as a social animal. Being educated will bring you into a system where you must interact (交往) with people and have conversations with each other. It will help you live happily. You get to have nice friends who will help you grow.As one grows, leadership qualities are developed. Some of the things that can help improve an individuals characteristics and qualities include different school activities and different lessons regarding world leaders. The knowledge you can get from education can be used in leading revolutions or perhaps an office team. If you know the world, you will gain confidence. A great education will make sure that your skills will be enhanced and that you get to gain a level of confidence to use these skills.In todays world, you may be cheated easily since people can take advantage of those who are not welleducated. If you have both knowledge and wise thoughts, you can prevent these kinds of people from coming near. Technology is developing every day. An educated person will understand these new technology improvements and use them to their advantage.24Being a social animal, what benefit do people get from education?AThey can build a system for living.BThey can make friends with others.CThey will feel much more confident.DThey become good at solving problems.25Which of the following can replace the underlined word “enhanced” in Paragraph 4?AIgnored.

It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food，get enough sleep，and exercise regularly.Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel (燃料)”. Dont eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein，like meat，fish，eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, dont overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you dont get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性). Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles，and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your lifespan (寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.28According to the passage, _.Awe should always keep fitBif we were healthy, we could spend our days in doing things with less sleepCone can eat a lot to stay in good shapeDone neednt take any exercise if he is healthy29In order to keep good health, _.Awe should eat a lot of sweetsBone needs a large amount of fatCpeople should eat according to the foods nutritionDwe must try to sleep now and then30According to the passage, the benefits of proper exercise are as follows except that _.Aexercise can help build up the bodyBexercise may make you live longerCexercise may help cure heart diseasesDexercise can bring happiness to people31The title of the article should be “_”AEating and ExercisingBHow Vitamins Work in Mans BodyCStaying HealthyDSleeping WellDWhile we all try to find happiness, sometimes we still end up feeling low. While most people can control this feeling, low moods can stay with some, leading to depression. About 322 million people suffered from depression in 2015, according to a report by the World Health Organization in February. This is more than 4 percent of the worlds population.Depression is described by the WHO as a mental disorder. It has several symptoms including sadness, loss of interest and feelings of low self-worth. In severe cases, depression may even lead to suicide.The number of people living with depression is increasing. The WHO reported a rise of 18.4 percent between 2005 and 2015. Young people are a group known to suffer with depression. “The pressures on todays youth are like no other generation, perhaps, Dan Chisholm, an official of WHO, told Reuters.In China, depression among young people is on the rise, Zhu Zhuohong, a psychology professor with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told Xinhua News Agency. Competition to outperform others, especially in education, can cause a lot of pressure for Chinese youth.Almost 1.2 million Chinese people aged 15 to 24 suffer from depression, according to a report released by British science journal The Lancet in May.Luckily, more and more efforts are being made to deal with this problem. This years World Health Day, held on April 7, will focus on depression. The day will highlight the “Depression: lets talk campaign. The campaign aims to make sure that people with depression both seek and get help.32.

With such busy lives, it can be hard to try and find the time to work out. 36 Working out in the morning provides additional benefits beyond being physically fit. Your productivity is improved. Exercising makes you more awake and ready to handle whatever is ahead of you for the day. 37 Your metabolism (新陈代谢) gets a head start. 38 If you work out in the mornings, then you will be getting the calorie (卡路里) burning benefits for the whole day, not in your sleep. 39 Studies found that people who woke up early for exercise slept better than those who exercised in the evening. Exercise energizes you, so it is more difficult to relax and have a peaceful sleep when you are very excited. 40 If you work out bright and early in the morning, you will be more likely to stick to healthy food choices throughout the day.
