24、A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school. In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.     

There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers on them, so kids can be known while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and if their kids are on the bus.     

Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It’s the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them-and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!

School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus.

26、   Today is the date of that afternoon in April a year ago when I first saw the strange and attractive doll in the window of Abe Sheftel's toy shop on Third Avenue near Fifteenth Street. It is just around the corner from my office. The plate（牌子） on the door reads: Dr Samuel Amory. I remember just how it was that day: the first sign of spring floated（飘荡） across the East River, mixing with the soft-coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighbourhood. As I turned the corner on my way to work and came to Sheftel's, I saw the poor collection of toys in the dusty window, and I remembered the coming birthday of a small niece (侄女) of mine in Cleveland. I was in the habit of sending small gifts to her. So I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything suitable, and looked at the collection of unattractive objects - a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed envelopes, and advertisements for soft drinks. And then my eyes finally came to rest upon the doll stored away in one comer, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, because of the shadows（阴影） and the dust through which I was looking, but I was sure that I was deeply impressed as though（好像） I had run into a person, as one does sometimes with a stranger, with whose personality one is deeply impressed.

【1】What impressed the writer when he passed by Shefiel's?

C.Because he was looking for a gift for her. D.Because she lives near Sheftel's.

【3】Why did the writer go past Sheftel's?

A.Because he wanted to buy the doll. B.Because he was looking for a gift for his niece.

C.Because he was going to see his niece. D.Because he was on his way to work.
