Every year more and more cars are using them. Already in such countries as America, almost every family has a car. Many accidents happen because cars are now made to travel very fast. Also, people waste time and money every day as long lines of cars move slowly into towns and cities. In most big towns it is very hard to find parking spaces.Wide, smooth（平的）, straight（直的） roads must be built now in place of the old and narrow roads. These roads must not pass through towns and cities. They must not be crossed by other roads.Today such roads are being built in many countries in the world. These roads have at least two lanes, one for slow-moving traffic and the other for fast-moving traffic.These roads do not pass through towns and cities, horses and bikes are not allowed on them. Accidents do not usually happen. Cars can travel hundreds of miles without having to stop.But these modern roads often cannot be built in towns and cities. Before a road in a town can be made wider, many buildings have to be pulled down.Some people feel that more car-parks should be built outside a city, then the drivers should leave their cars and catch a bus or take a taxi to their offices.( ) 1.The writer thinks that many accidents（事故） happen because _.A. roads are old and narrow B. roads go across each otherC. people drive their cars too fast D. all of the above( ) 2.How are the new roads different from old roads?A.

Afterwards, you should say, Excuse me.” This is a rule I set for my students. It is so simple, but many kids have never been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate travelling by subway（地铁）in New York during cold and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck. One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs(病菌)along to everything and everyone they touch. In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze, evil spirits jump into your body. If you dont cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your mouth, you will keep them out, We say God bless you when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should say Gesundheit. That means Good health to you. Both expressions are said just in case you didnt cover your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins（起源）of these expressions and it encourages them to put the advice to use more often.( )6. After coughing or sneezing on their hand, students are advised to_. A. say God bless you B. wash their hands as soon as possible C. go to see a doctor as soon as possible D. go home and have a good rest( )7. What does the underline word this mean? A.

This was the beginning of the library at Harvard University. The gift was so important that the university wasnamed for John Harvard. Thomas Bray began the first free lending library in the late 1600s. He set up more than 30 libraries in the American colonies. However, the idea for this kind of free library ended when Bray died in 1730. In 1731，Benjamin Franklin and some friends started the first subscription library in the United States. In a subscription library people pay money to become members, but they may borrow the books without paying again. In the United States, every child had a free education.
