went on holiday to crete last year. they got there very early in the morning so that the taxi ride from the airport to their hotel was in the dark. they were just beginning to doze off in the back seat when they were thrown violently to one side as the taxi swerved across the road. suddenly wide-awake they could just make out in the weak headlights the tail of a rabbit as it zigzagged in panic. thinking that the taxi driver was swerving to avoid the petrified animal, my mother was rather taken aback when the driver turned round smacking his lips and cried “rabbit! i love the rabbit! my wife cook for me!”colombia before i met my boyfriend he got a job teaching in colombia. you can imagine that he was a bit worried about it, all those horror stories about drug gangs and guns, but he was also looking forward to it. of course his first view of bogota was from the taxi window on the way from the airport. the taxi driver was fascinated that he had come from england and wanted to try out his english. but when he heard that his passenger came from london he threw both arms up in the air with horror: “london! is terrible! is full of hooligans!”the usa well, imagine how my sister felt when she went off for the first time to new york for a business trip. after a few days she was still amazed at how friendly everyone was to her until she took a taxi back to her hotel one night. first she gave just the name of the hotel, but when asked she said the address too. then she was asked how to get there but of course she hadnt a clue. imagine how frightened she was when he started raving at (咆哮)her for not knowing the way. she said it was awful.the uk a friend of a friend was in london for a conference. he took a cab and there were no problems: the driver knew the way and was very cheerful. the problem started when he realized he had stupidly left his laptop on the back seat! he called the company up and, in a panic, went straightaway to their lost and found office (and missing some of the conference as a result). he was over the moon to find the laptop waiting for him, and then very surprised that it was one of 2,900 left in taxis over the past six months!tunisia well, my brother took a mediterranean cruise one summer and had a day in tunis. he spent most of the afternoon in the medina buying presents when he suddenly realized hed completely lost track of time and there was only half an hour before the ship left the port. there had been loads of yellow taxis in the centre so he wasnt too bothered until he stood on the pavement and waited for one to appear - and of course there wasnt a single one in sight! nothing! frantic, he questioned a passer-by who explained that the cost for the taxi ride goes up in the evening so the taxi drivers disappear until they can charge higher prices! luckily for my brother the man then offered to give him a lift and he caught the boat in the nick of time!56. what is in common in the above stories?a. different countries have different traffic rules on taxis. b. all the taxi drivers were polite and kind to the passengers. c. passengers took advantage of tourists. d. a passengers unforgettable traveling experience with taxis.57. which of the following is not true according to the passage? a. the driver thought it was more dangerous in london than in bogota. b. the driver wanted to catch the rabbit to eat. c. 5, 800 laptops are left in london taxis every year d. my brother didnt get to the port on time. b as a young child i never really thought about my parents lives in irvine, how small their world must have seemed, never extending beyond the dragon cafe. every day my parents did the same jobs in the restaurant. i watched the same customers come for meals, for morning coffee, for afternoon soft drinks and french fries. for my parents one day was like the next. they settled into an uneasy and distant relationship with each other. their love, their tenderness, they gave to me. but my life was changing. i became taller and bigger, my second teeth grew in white and straight. at school i began to learn about my adopted country. i spoke english like a native, without a trace of an accent. i played, thought, and dreamed in the language of our irvine neighbors. a few years later and i would no longer remember a time when i didnt speak their words and read their books. but my father and uncle yat still spoke the same halting english. my mother spoke only a few words. i began to translate conversations they had with the customers, switching between english and chinese. whenever i stepped outside the restaurant it seemed i was entering a world unknown to my family: school, church, friends houses, the town beyond main street. i found it hard to imagine a year without winter any more, a home other than irvine.for my mother, though, home would always be china. in irvine she lived among strangers, unable to speak their language. whenever she talked about happy times, they were during her childhood in that distant land. a wistful smile would soften her face as she told me about sleeping and playing with her sister in the attic above her parents bedroom. she once showed me a piece of jade-green silk cloth that was frayed and worn around the edge. in the center was a white lotus floating in varying shades of blue water, the embroidery so fine that when i held it at arms length the petals looked real. i had been helping her store away my summer clothes in the brown leather suitcase from hong kong when i noticed a piece of shiny material in the corner and asked her what it was. she took it out and spread it on her lap. “my mother embroidered this herself. i was going to have it made into a cushion, but then my life changed and over here there seems to be no place for lovely things. its all i have that reminds me of her,” she said. “maybe, su-jen, one day you will do something with it.” i admired the cloth some more, then she carefully folded it and stored it back in her suitcase. there was so little left from her old life. she said it was so long ago that sometimes it felt as if it had never happened. but she described her life with such clarity and vividness that i knew all those memories lived on inside her. there was so little in this new country that gave her pleasure. the good things she found were related in some way to china: an aria from a chinese opera, a letter from a relative back home or from aunt hai-lan in toronto, written in chinese, a familiar-looking script that i couldnt read and that had nothing to do with my life in canada. there were times when i felt _about my own happiness in irvine. we had come to canada because of me, but i was the only one who had found a home.58. the primary purpose of the second paragraph is to _.a. provide insight into the motivations of the writers parents and uncleb. recapture the pleasure the writer experienced in learning a new languagec. emphasize the extent of the transformation the writer undergoesd. describe the complex interrelationships in the writers family59. the writers mothers memories of china are portrayed as _.a. distant yet enduring b. occasional yet overwhelmingc. lively but confused d. wistful and indistinct60. fill in the blank of the last paragraph with one of the following words that best fit the context and the theme.a. confusedb. excited c. concerned d. guilty 61. which of the following best characterizes the writers development over the course of the passage? a. she grows apart from the cultural tradition of her parents.b. she overcomes the fear she felt about the new land.c. she begins to view the inhabitants of irvine from her mothers perspective.d. she becomes less and less interested in her mothers stories.conce upon a time, science fiction was just a style among other styles. there were crime stories, there were horror stories, there was literary fictionand there was science fiction. but today science themes dominate these other. its difficult to think of much modern cri
