26、Five years ago, my wife said she’d found us a tiny but clean house, which was close to the historic Abbot Kinney. However, there was a bus depot (公共汽车车库) across the street. Hundreds of buses noisily parked there every night and noisily left every morning. It was awful.
But I was determined to make the best of it. “It is noisy, but it offers us a good way to think about what is required to make a city work,” I kept telling our 6-year-old daughter.
The one morning, I woke up to find that the buses were gone! I allowed myself to get excited. My daughter, however, was unhappy. It took me a minute to understand: she had got used to the idea of us having a role in city life.
Shortly afterward, a homeless encampment (临时营地) was built there. Then I found out what was planned for the bus depot—a place to deal with the homeless.
When I told my daughter about the “bridge housing”, a big smile spread across her face. Her first reaction wasn’t fear or selfishness. She understood immediately how special it was that the bus depot would become a place for people who needed just that to live.
What story about city life could I tell her then? I tried to keep fruit in the car so that at traffic lights, we could hand out a banana or an apple. When a woman put up a tent on the sidewalk in front of our stairs, I filled all her water bottles.
Now we have a couple hundred new neighbors, and I’ll be telling anyone who will listen what an honour it is to live among the homeless. Without my daughter, I might not have come to the same conclusion.
【1】What was the advantage of the author’s new house?
A.It was close to a tourist attraction.
B.There were too many neighbors around.
C.It was big enough for the family to use.
D.A bus depot around it helped them understand how a city worked.
【2】How did the author’s daughter feel when she found the buses were gone?
A.Afraid.
B.Puzzled.
C.Pleased.
D.Upset.
【3】Why was the author’s daughter happy when she knew the new use of the bus depot?
A.She thought she had a role in city life.
B.She disliked the idea of bridge housing.
C.She realized it would be helpful to the homeless.
D.She could live in peace finally without the buses.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.My role of the city life.
B.My tiny but clean house.
C.My family’s love for our house.
D.My family’s honor to live among the homeless.
27、 The Big Ben is located in the tower at the eastern end of the Houses of Parliament, Westminster, Greater London. It was designed by Edmund Beckett and Baron Grimthorpe.
The Big Ben is very famous throughout the world, but nobody really knows why it is called Big Ben. There are two hearsays about this. Some people say that it was named after Benjamin Caunt, a boxer, who was called Big Ben. More people believe it was called after Welshman, Sir Benjamin Hall. He was the commissioner(特派员)of the work at the time of its installation in 1859.A story was told that during a debate in the Commons on what to call the bell, Sir Benjamin was about to give his ideas when a MP who sat behind the front bench shouted, “Let's call it Big Ben!” Then this name came into being.
The bell hasn't gone through a smooth road since the beginning of its design. Because there was great disagreement about the design of the clock. It took fifteen years to build. In 1857, the bell was completed and tested on the ground, but a four-foot crack appeared and the bell had to be cast again. Finally, the clock started ticking on 31 May, 1859, and struck its first chime(报时)on 11, July. Then in September, the bell cracked again. It was silent for four years but was eventually turned a quarter of a revolution(旋转). In this way, the crack was not under the striking hammer. Craftsmen made a square above the crack to stop it growing longer and it can still be seen today.
The Big Ben is famous not only for its 13-ton weight, but also for its accuracy(准确性) which is a result of its precise mechanism(机械装置). Even one extra penny's weight on the balance will cause a gain of two fifths of a second in twenty-four hours. Although there have been several problems, the bell is still striking today.Its chimes can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C.
【1】What can we know about the Big Ben?
A.It is located in the Houses of Parliament. B.It is the largest and tallest clock tower in the world.
C.It is well-known all over the world. D.It is the heaviest clock in the world.
【2】What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A.The bell worked well at its first test.
B.The construction of the clock was long but not smooth.
C.The clock started to strike chimes on 31 May,1859.
D.The crack finally disappeared after a quarter of a revolution
【3】Which of the following can best explain why Big Ben is world-famous?
A.Accurate and heavy. B.Accurate and colorful.
C.Heavy and colorful. D.Attractive and accurate.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Sir Benjamin Hall was a famous architect at that time.
B.Even the tiniest extra weight on the balance will affect the clock's accuracy.
C.The chimes of the clock could be heard all over the world.
D.The clock has been ticking ever since 31 May,1859.
28、How to Improve Math Skills
Make math part of your life. Take the opportunity to put your math skills to work in new and different situations outside your normal routine.【1】For example, if, say, a sweater that's regularly$38 is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price? Or if you plan to hike a new trail that's 7 miles long and it takes you 20 minutes to walk a mile, how long should you plan for your hike to take?
Make studying math a priority.【2】Doing so will help you avoid procrastinating(拖延)and make it easier to get into "math" mode(模式)instead of sitting and staring blankly at the math book for 10 minutes. After putting in your study time, reward yourself by doing something you enjoy. It will encourage you to get through your math work and help you associate it with something pleasurable.
Take a break every hour.【3】You won't be able to maintain necessary focus and you'll quickly tire yourself out. Instead, take a quick break to stand up, stretch, get a drink, or use the bathroom every hour.
【4】In math, each topic builds upon the next, so, much like reading, it's difficult to make forward progress if you haven’t mastered all of the necessary steps. If you're struggling with a particular idea or concept, don't skip it and move ahead.【5】
A.Solve problems neatly and completely.
B.Master one concept before moving on to the next.
C.Take the time to apply math in common situations.
D.Avoid trying to solve math problems in your head.
E.Don't try to work hard through four unbroken hours of math problems.
F.Instead, seek help from the instructor or the tutor until you've mastered the idea.
G.Set aside time to work on math at the same time and in the same place every day.
29、 When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Here are some British etiquette(礼仪) and customs international students ought to know.
Visiting
In most houses in Britain, the doors are usually kept closed. It is customary to visit people at a pre-arranged time and day. Usually, people are not comfortable if you just drop in. Nevertheless, if someone says to drop in at any time, feel free to do so as long as it is not in the middle of the night. When you go into someone's house, do take your hat off (men only). It is impolite for men to wear hats indoors especially in churches.
Greeting
In Britain, the handshake is a common form of greeting. When you meet people for the first time, it is normal to shake hands. A firm handshake is the norm(标准); there are no issues over gender in Britain. The usual formal greeting is 'How do you do? ' and a firm hand shake, but with a lighter touch between men and women. In Britain, unlike some other European countries, it is unusual to embrace or kiss the other person (unless they are family or a very close friend).
Gifts
During birthday and Christmas celebrations, it is common for the British to exchange gifts between family members and close friends. The gift doesn’t need to be expensive, but it should usually show an attempt to find something that is related to the recipient's(接受者) interests. When invited to someone's home, it is normal to take along a box of good chocolates, a bottle of good wine or a bunch of beautiful flowers. Note that gifts are opened when received.
Punctuality
The British are generally punctual(守时的), especially the scots. The British consider it impolite if you turn up late for an appointment. In most cases, the people you are meeting will be on time, call even if you will be 5 minutes later than you've promised. If you have been late or fail to keep your appointment, make an effort to contact the person to let them know. It is a good idea to telephone and offer your apologies.
【1】What do the British men usually do when they meet for the first time?
A.Embrace or kiss each other. B.shake hands firmly.
C.Bring an expensive gift. D.Take off their hats immediately.
【2】What present may the author recommend you if you attend a birthday party in Britain?

“She is doing amazing,” the mother says, “ ________ than we ever expected her to be. It was a little surprising just because of how serious her condition was, but it was more of a relief and ________ feeling than anything.”
Mushaw didn’t ________ any of this until Eleanor’s parents sent him an e-mail to ________ him for saving her life. “When they told me it was a little girl, I got a little choked up (哽咽),” Mushaw says, “Just to hear that someone so ________ has such a serious disease and her only ________ is in your bone marrow is a heavy ________.” But he was pleased that his kindness had saved a life and even one small act of kindness can go a long way.
