I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought Id hitch a ride(搭便车）.I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldnt give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured(使.放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2020, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour Id been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You havent changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.I couldnt remember where Id met him.

BJoanne Kathleen Rowlings life, like that of her own Character Harry Potter, has the luster(光彩）of a fairy tale.She remembers that she always wanted to write and that the first story she actually wrote down, when she was five or six, was a story about a rabbit. At Exeter University, she took her degree in French and spent one year studying in Paris. Then she moved to London to work for Amnesty International. During that period of time, on a very long train ride from Manchester to London, the idea came to her of a boy who is a wizard(巫师）in the summer of 1990. By the time the train drove into Kings Cross Station four hours later, many of the characters and the early stages of the story were fully formed in her head.In 1992, J.K.Rowling moved to Portugal to teach ESL(English as a Second Language). She enjoyed teaching. She worked afternoons and evenings, leaving mornings free for writing. After her marriage to a Portuguese TV reporter ended in divorce(离婚), she returned to Britain with her baby daughter and a suitcase full of Harry Potter notes. Later, she lived in Edinburgh to be near her sister and decided to finish her book before looking for a teaching job. To escape her small and old apartment, J.K. Rowling would go into coffee shops carrying her baby daughter and write down when the baby fell asleep. In this way she finished the book Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in 1996 and started sending it to be published. However, it took her about one year to finally have it published. The book attracted readers of all ages, especially children. With the publication of the American edition, the book was renamed Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone in 1998. Now J.K.Rowling is well-known almost all over the world.55. The character Potter came to J.K.Rowlings mind_. A. when she worked in London B. after she moved to Edinburgh C. when she taught ESL in Portugal D. When she studied at Exeter University56. Which of the following statements is TURE? A.

In 1998 CA volcanic eruption in Iceland has sent ash across northern Europe. Airlines have stopped or changed the flights across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving hundreds of passengers stuck in airports.Grimsvotn is one of the largest and most active volcanoes in Europe. What makes Grimsvotn different is that it lies under a huge glacier(冰川）of ice up to 12 meters thick. The hot volcano heats up the ice above it, which then forms a layer(层）of water between the glacier and the volcano. This layer of water puts pressure(压力）on he volcano, keeping it peaceful. As the water flows out from under the glacier, the pressure lifts. The lava from the volcano then comes up to the surface (表面). This is exactly what happened today.Now, airlines have to make changes to their flights so as not to fly through the clouds of volcanic ash. According to KLM, one of Europes biggest airlines, airplanes cannot go under the cloud or over it. Going through the cloud can result in ash getting stuck in the airplanes engines, causing damage to the plane.The eruption has also caused problems for animals in Iceland. The volcano left ash and sharp, glass-like rocks all over the countryside. Farmers are keeping their animals inside to stop them from eating ash-covered grass or the sharp objects.58.
