32、end to someone whose name we didnt know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking.Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: wheres the silent woman who sits at the front and never replies t

33、o our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesnt have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, theyre still holding hands. The woman was pre

34、gnant late last year, and one day her change of shape showed that shed given birth to the child. We even felt a little proud at the thought of our extended family.For many months, our only sadness lay in our being unable to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus.

35、 Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.We greeted her with friendly familiarity wed shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped from her lips wi

36、th difficulty. All at once we realized why she hadnt spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.Over dinner, we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him very much, she explained.“I love him and he loves me, even though h

37、e doesnt express it very well,” she spoke in a low voice. “Lots of us have that problem, dont we? We dont say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And thats not good enough.”The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we pa

38、rted as friendswe shared names.61. All the following words can be used to describe the woman except _. A. poor B. silent C. cold D. shy62. The underlined word “establish” in the fourth paragraph probably has the same meaning as _. A. set up B. add up C. pack up D. come up63. Why did the woman usuall

39、y keep silence while taking the bus? A. She was worried about her disabled son. B. She had difficulty in expressing herself. C. She was sad to see the happy Mexican couple as a single mother. D. She was only interested in the bus driver.64. Which of the following might be the best title of this pass

40、age?A. The Silent Woman on the Bus B. Friends on the Road C. Going to Work by Bus D. Different Kinds of FriendshipB“Choo, Choo!” Here comes the Chunnel train. Get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation system. This is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a

41、 tunnel that trains travel through and not an actual form of transportation.The Chunnel is actually the English nickname for the Channel Tunnel. In French, it is called le tunnel sous la Manche. It is a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover. It connects Cheriton in Kent, En

42、gland with Sangatte in northern France. It is the second longest rail tunnel in the world.Did you know that the British and the French had a race whi1e they were building the Chunnel? The race was to see who could get to the middle of the tunnel first. The British won by a little bit. It took 15,000

43、 workers over seven years to dig the tunnel. The tunnel was finished in 1994.The completed Chunnel cost about $ 21 billion. But it all paid off, because it became very popular, very quick. Millions of people use it. Now it is getting even more popular.There are three complete tunnels in the Chunnel.

44、 The two outside ones are the passenger trains. The small inner one is a guidance train. The guidance train is not used for transportation. Each track is exactly parallel to each other.There are four different train systems in the Chunnel. The Eurostar is a high speed passenger service that connects

45、 London, Paris, Brussels, and Lille. The Eurotunnel shuttle is a rail ferry service. These shuttles carry cars and vans. These are railcars that allow drivers to drive their vehicles on and off. There are also two Eurotunnel goods service trains.Now you know more about the Chunnel. Everybody off, th

47、st on a train D. heard in a railway station COne morning a few years ago, Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy man, it was a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work, he might wear himself out and die an early death.Only after a weeks leave during which he read novels,

48、listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach was Rudenstine able to return to work.In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying: “I am so busy.”We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts we

49、re a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax this has become the model of a successful life.Because we

50、do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week for followers of some religions for rest and praying. I

51、t is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there a

52、re larger forces at work taking care of the world.Rest is a spiritual and biological need, however, in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities, we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember

53、the Sabbath” is more than simply permission to rest; it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.68. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “ _ ”.A. a signal of stress B. a warning of dangerC. a sign of age D. a spread of disease69. According to Paragraph 4, a successful person is one who i

54、s believed to_ .A. be able to work without stress B. be more talented than other peopleC. be more important than anyone else D. be busy working without time to rest70. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they_.A. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitionsB. fail to realize that rest is a necessary part of lifeC. fail to realize that religions force them to restD. think that taking a rest means being lazy71. What is the main idea of this passage ? A. We shoul
