It is not the actual taking of the exams itself that is so awful, although of course it plays a great part in the general feeling of 21 ; no, the most awful time comes at the beginning and at the end. The beginning is the time when you are 22 to revise. Revision is a terrible time 23 you revise or not. Firstly, if you revise, concentrating on a pile of A4 pages covered in your 24 handwriting, you suddenly wish not only that you had written everything 25 a bit more clearly, but also that you had started revision a lot earlier. However, once you realize that you cant put the clock back, you prepare to 26 yourself up to full and thorough revision. Of course, such a hard decision is impossible to 27 , although you do try to fool yourself that you can undertake it easily. You let your 28 wander away easily, finding you have a sudden urge to tidy up your room, 29 it has looked like a pigsty(猪圈) for the last three months. After suffering from such strange amusements, you are moving onto the second group of people who know they need and should 30 hard studying, but somehow have neither got the 31 nor the willpower to force themselves to sit down for hours 32 the beauty of pure mathematics. Now, this second group suffer the most severe guilt complexes over their lack of revision. Although they are 33 that they should be studying, they cannot somehow bring themselves to the awful task; temptation(诱惑) has won over what they know they should be doing, and 34 they suffer far more than those who eventually find the willpower and determination to sit down and revise.The end of the exam, 35 than the revision period, is to wait for the results. While waiting you feel that it is hard to 36 the temptation to light a fire with all your notebooks, but at the same time youd better keep all your notes safe 37 you fail and need to re-take all your subjects. The worst day of all is the one when you know the postman is to deliver the letter which will 38 you whether the academic world considers you a failure or a success. That envelope is to 39 the key to your future and, perhaps most 40 of all, to inform you whether you need to suffer again the terrors of exams.21.

But what about local bike shops? Is Citi Bike rolling up riders at their expense? At Gotham Bikes in Tribeca, manager W. Ben said the shop has seen an increase in its overall sales due to the bike-share program. “Its getting more people on the road,” he said. James Ryan, an employee at Dannys Cycles in Gramercy also said Citi Bike is a good option for people to ease into biking in a city famous for its traffic jams and aggressive drivers. “They can try out a bike without committing to buying one,” he said.Rentals are not a big part of the business at either Gotham Bikes or Dannys Cycles. But for Franks Bike Shop, a small business on Grand St., the bike-share program has been bad news. Owner Frank Arroyo said that his rental business has decreased by 90% since Citi Bike was rolled out last month. Arroyos main rental customers are European tourists, who have since been drawn away by Citi Bikes.However, Ben said the bike-share is good for bike sales at his shop. “People have used the bike-share and realized how great it is to bike in the city, then decided that they want something nicer for themselves,” he noted.Christian Farrell of Waterfront Bicycle Shop, on West St. said at first he was concerned about bike-share, though, he admitted, “I was happy to see people on bikes.”Farrells early concerns were echoed by Andrew Crooks, owner of NYC Velo, at 64 Second Ave. “It seemed like a great idea, but one that would be difficult to perform,” Crooks said of Citi Bike. He said he worried about inexperienced riders lack of awareness of biking rules and strong negative reaction from non-cyclists. However, he said, its still too early to tell if his business has been affected.While its possible bike-share will cause a drop in business, Crooks allowed that the idea is a positive step forward for New York City.41. What is the authors chief concern about the increasing use of Citi Bikes in New York?A. How the safety of bike riders can be ensured. B. Whether local bike shops will suffer. C. Whether local bike businesses will oppose it. D. How non-cyclists will respond to it.42. What happened to Gotham Bikes as a result of the bike-share program? A. It found its bike sales unaffected. B. It changed its business to rentals. C. It rented more bikes to tourists. D. It saw its bike sales on the rise.43. Why is the bike-share program bad news for Franks Bike Shop? A. It has to compete with the citys bike rental shops. B. Its bike prices have to be lowered again and again. C. Its customers have been drawn away by Citi Bikes. D. It cannot meet the demand of the bike-share program.44. Why did Andrew Crooks think that the bike-share program would be difficult to perform? A. Conflicts might arise among bike rental shops. B. Inexperienced riders might break biking rules. C. Traffic conditions might worsen in the downtown area. D. There are not enough lanes to accommodate the bikes.45.

She and I met on my first day at Illinois State University. We both came from families with six children and loved pop music and going to the movies. After school, we promised to keep in touchand we did for a while. But we never missed sending Christmas cards. But four years ago, I didnt get a card from her. I called her and knew she got cancer. The news hit me like a ton of bricks. A month later, Jana was dead. How I wished I had visited her more.When it came time to put together my Christmas card list later that year, an idea hit me: why not do more than just send people a card? Why not visit them?First up, my 85-year-old godmother, Betty Jane, in Littleton, Colorado. Betty Jane doesnt have children and always treats my sisters and me like her own. We write letters all the time. In fact, she still sends me a card with ten dollars for my birthday each year. But it had been 10 years since wed seen each other. Ted, my husband, and I already had a summer trip planned to Rocky Mountain National Park. Why not combine it with a visit to Betty Jane?“Thank you for coming all this way!” she cried when we arrived, wrapping me in her arms. Seeing Betty Jane brought us both so much joy that I knew I couldnt stop there.In December 2009, I took another look at my Christmas list. College friends, people from other states where wed lived, former co-workersso many folks to see! One name jumped off my list: Carol.Carol and I met in college, in the same dorm where I met Jana. She was the city mouse and I was the country mouse. She grew up in Chicago and had never been to a farm. I grew up on a farm and had never been to a big city. Oh, how we loved to compare our childhoods! I searched for her name online. Id recognize her smile and blonde hair anywhere. “I know its been a while,” I wrote. “But do you think I could visit you this summer? Id love to catch up.”Three days later, she responded, “Sue! Wow! Yes, Id love to see you!” It was just three hours by Amtrak to Naperville, Illinois. But as I stepped off the train, my worries came back. What if we didnt have anything in common anymore?“There you are!” shouted Carol. “I could never forget your laugh.” The years instantly melted away. We promised not to wait another 27 years.As the summer wound down, I caught up on some cleaning. I came across a box of old letters. Something in me just couldnt throw them away. I opened the first one. “Hi, Susan, Jordan said mama for the first time today,” it read. Terri! I hadnt heard from her for six years. Somehow wed lost contact. There were more letters from her in that box, so I read them in order. Since she and I had been pregnant at the same time, a wave of nostalgia(怀旧之情) came over me. I got out my old address book and dialed the last number I had for her. We met up at Applebees and had a great visit. I gave her all of the letters. That night she sent me an e-mail. “I cant tell you how much it means to me to have a record of Jordans first years and of our friendship. To think we were brought back together by your Christmas list!”Thanks to that list, Ive been to plays, markets, lunches, churches and concerts with old friends. Whenever Im having a hard day, I think about where I will go for my next trip.50. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded her visits to old friends as _. A. great chances to help other people in need B. happy occasions to play with the city mouse C. exciting experiences with a wave of nostalgia D. good opportunities to enjoy plays and concerts51.
