more, and you 18 (get) more experience in reading comprehension.” frankly, these teachers good 19 (suggest) are only helpful to arouse students interest in reading 20 not helpful to deal with the

cityhowever, theres something different about riding a london subwayit may not look different, but the historical value of one of englands most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting londonwith a little under 300 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to goriding a london subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in london, people do not look at each otherin fact, eye contact is avoided at all timesthats not rudenesspeople are just too busy to bother lookingbusy doing what, you ask? well, theyre certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinkingnor are they reading a booknew technology has replaced quiet habitstoday the only acceptable form of book on the london underground is an e-bookapple must earn a fortune from london commuters（使用月票上下班者）since the launch of the iphone in 2007, over 40,000yes, thats 40,000 “apps” have been designedcommuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillersone “app”, called ishoot, is a game that features tanksanother one, tube exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destinationisteam clouds the iphone screen when you breathe into the microphoneyou can then write in the “steam” on your phone screenfor those without an iphone, another apple product, the ipod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choiceits not just teenagers who “plug in” to their musicipods are a popular way to pass the time for all agesand if games, e-books and music arent enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? the development of palm dvd technology means many commuters watch their favorite tv shows or films on the way to workwith all these distractions, its amazing that people still remember to get off the train26those who want to save time to reach where they go can download _ to their iphonesaishoot btube exits cisteam dipod 27people in london do not

that _alondon commuters are unfriendly to strangersbapple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 appsctechnology is changing how london commuters spend their traveling timedriding a london subway is a must when visiting londonbwhich is safer - staying at home, traveling to work on public transport, or working at the office? surprisingly, each of these carries the same risk, which is very lowhowever, what about flying compared to working in the chemical industry? unfortunately, the former is 65 times riskier than the latter! in fact the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost any of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at homethe trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearbyit is this that chemical accidents so newsworthyfortunately, they are extremely rarethe most famous ones happened at texas city （1947）, flixborough （1974）, seveso （1976）, pemex （1984） and bhopal （1984）some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of life was smallno one died at seveso, and only 28 workers at flixboroughthe worst accident of all was bhopal, where up to 3,000 were killedthe texas city explosion of fertilizer killed 552the pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of mexico city took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at bhopalsome experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular dangerthus the texas city was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantitythe flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep production going during essential repairsthe seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstepwhen the poisonous gas drifted over the town , local leaders were incapable of taking effective actionthe pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburbthe fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tanksyet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explodehad these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died31which of the following statements is true? aworking at the office is safer than staying at homebtravelling to work on public transport is safer than working at the officecstaying at home is safer than working in the chemical industrydworking in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air32chemical accidents are usually important enough to be reported as news because .athey are very rarebthey often cause loss of lifecthey always occur in big citiesdthey arouse the interest of all the readers33according to the passage, the chemical accident that caused by the fault of management happened in_ atexas city bflixborough cseveso dmexico city34from the passage we know that “ammonium nitrate” is a kind of _anatural gas, which can easily catch fire bfertilizer, which cant be stored in a great quantity cpoisonous substa nce, which cant be used in overcrowded areas dfuel, which is stored in large tanks 35from the discussion among some experts we may conclude that _ato avoid any accident we should not repair the facilities in chemical industry bthe local authorities should not be concerned with the production of the chemical industry call these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measures had been taken dnatural gas stored in very large tanks is always safec fourteen year old richie hawley had spent five years studying violin at the community school of performing arts in los angeles when he took part in a violin contest. ninety two young people were invited to the contest and hawley came out firstthe contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judgesbut hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm. “i couldnt be thinking about how many mistakes id makeit would distract me from playing,” he says“i didnt even remember trying to impress people while i played its almost as if they werent there i just wanted to make music”hawley is a winner but he didnt become a winner by concentrating on winning he did it by concentrating on playing well“the important thing in the olympic games is not to win but to take part,” said the founder of the modern olympics, pierre de coubertin“the important thing in life is not the triumph but the strugglethe essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well”a characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says drcharles garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, the arts, and professions“they are interested in winning, but theyre most interested in self-development, testing their limits”one of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses theyve hadand how much theyve learned from each “not one of the 1,500 i studied defined losing as failing,” garfield says“they kept calling their losses setbacks”a healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree“the worst thing you can do if youve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression you should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them” garfield believes that most people dont give themselves enough praise he even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things youve done on the way to a goal36 hawley won the contest because _a he put all his mind to his performanceb he cared much about the judges feelingsc he tried his best to avoid making mistakesd he paid close attention to the people around27high performers is that they tend to give priority to _a glory bwealth c pleasure dwork 38 according to the passage, successful people concentrate on _achallenging their own limitsblearning from otherscdefeating their opponentsdavoiding setacks39 it can be learned from the passage that top performers are not _a interested in winning bfree of lossesc accustomed to failures d concerned about setbacks40the passage tells us that “praise” in times of trouble _ahelps people deal with their disappointmentb makes people forget their setbacksc makes people regret about their pastd helps people realize their goals di was brought up in the british, stiff upper lip style. strong feelings arent something you display in public. so, you can imagine that i was unprepared for the outpouring of public grief(悲伤) at a chinese funeral.my editorial team leader died recently after a short illness. he was 31. the news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset. a female colleague burst into tears and cried piteously at her desk. somehow we got through the days work. the next day was the funeral. our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy and was soon in tears. she carried on, in chinese of course, but at the end said in english: there will be no more deadlines for you in heaven. next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion. then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute(哀悼), weeping openly as he spoke. sorrow is speading. me and women were now sobbing uncontrollably. finally, the mans mother, supported between two women, addressed her son in his coffin. at one point, the mother almost collapsed and had to be held up. we were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket. our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap. at the end of the service i walked away from the funeral parlor stunned at the outpouring of emotion. in the uk, families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funeral. here in china it would seem that grieving is a public affair. it strikes me that it is more cathartic to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for fear of embarrassment, which is what many of us do in the west. afterwards, a chinese colleague told me that the lamenting at the funeral had been restrained(克制) by chinese standards. in some rural areas, she said, people used to be paid to mourn noisily. this struck me like something out of novel by charles dickens. but we have all seen on tv scenes of grief-stricken people in gaza and the west bank, in afghanistan, iraq and the relatives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world. chinese grief is no different. i realized that its the reserved british way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world. it was our newspapers production day. we were bussed back to the office to resume work. no more deadlines for our former colleague, but we had to pull together to put the newspaper to print. the boss invited the team to go out for dinner after work. we relaxed, smiled, joked. there was no mention of the funeral or our poor colleague. enough sorrow had been shed already. we needed a break.41the underlined words “stiff upper lip style”mean “
