He was the first student on in the morning, as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school staff (职员) were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment.‎ One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home for a long time. Then I called the school. “Perhaps he’s just a bit late,” said the secretary. “I will call the driver to see if those children are home.” A few minutes later, I answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I called his friends’ parents, to see if perhaps he had gotten off at their stop to play. The answers were all “No.”‎ By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas, and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere. My husband wasn’t at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. “He’s okay,” I heard. “He was asleep on the seats in the back, under a couple of jackets. Since it’s dark, can he spend the night with my family?”‎ I was relieved and agreed. Since my son had a great adventure, the school started giving a copy of the list to the driver, so he could check off the children’s names when they got off the bus. I think highly of the school for taking the cautionary (警戒的) step ahead; it is a sign of their concern for students, parents, and staff.‎ ‎21.From Paragraph 1 we learn that ________.‎ A.the author’s son went home by bus every after-noon B.the author’s son came to school earlier than other students C.the author’s home was farther than that of any other student D.the author was a teacher in her son’s primary school ‎22.At first the secretary thought ________.‎ A.the author’s son was still at school B.the school bus would arrive in a while C.the author’s son was at his friend’s home D.there might be something wrong with the school bus ‎23.The author’s son probably spent the night _________.‎ A.in the bus B.at his own home C.at the driver’s home D.in the secretary’s office ‎24.The author wrote the text to ________.‎ A.praise the school for its quick action B.thank the bus driver for his kindness C.complain about the secretary of the school D.show her concern for kids safety B ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ National Gallery of ‎Canada Position:‎ National Gallery (美术馆) of Canada ‎ ‎380 Sussex Drive (大道) ‎ P.O.

But it's not that unrealistic, with the development of China's high-speed railway system. And that's not all. China has an even greater high-speed railway plan to connect the country with Southeast Asia, and eventually Eastern Europe.‎ ‎ China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years, eventually reaching London and Singapore.‎ ‎ China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.‎ ‎ If China's plan for the high-speed railway goes forward, people could zip over from London to Beijing in under two days.‎ ‎ The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standard. And the trains would be able to go 346 kilometers an hour, almost as fast as some airplanes.‎ ‎ China's bullet train(高速客车), the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou, already has the World's fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours.‎ ‎ Of course, there are some technical challenges to overcome. There are so many issues that need to be settled, such as safety, rail gauge(轨距), maintenance of railway tracks. So, it's important to pay attention to every detail.‎ ‎ But the key issue is really money. China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on ‎ domestic railway expansion.‎ ‎ China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources rather than with capital investment. Resources from those countries could stream into China to sustain development.‎ ‎ It'll be a win-win project. For other countries, the railway network will definitely create more opportunities for business, tourism and so on, not to mention the better communication among those countries.‎ ‎ For China, such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much needed resources, but would also help develop China's far west. We foresee that in the coming decades, millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.‎ ‎28. According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway plan is _____.‎ A: technical issues B: safety of the system C: financial problems D: maintenance of railway tracks ‎29. Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China's high-speed railway plan?‎ A: Critical.‎ B: Reserved.‎ C: Doubtful.‎ D: Positive.‎ ‎30. China's new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win project because _____.‎ A: China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regions B: China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various ways C: China will develop its railway system and communication with other countries D: the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation, business and tourism ‎31. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?‎ A: New Railway Standards B: Big Railway Dreams C: High-speed Bullet Trains D: International Railway Network Without flowers, many plants would not be able to reproduce (繁殖) and many insects would not be able to get enough food to live. Here are some interesting facts about flowers plants. ‎ ‎● Most plants grow flowers each year, but some take much longer. The century plant (龙舌兰) grows only one flower and then it dies! Even more amazing is a plant from South America called Puya raimondii. It doesn’t grow a flower until it is 150 years old, and after that it dies, too. ‎ ‎● The smallest flowering plant in the world is thought to be the common watermeal (无根萍). Its leaves are only 1mm across! ‎ ‎● Bamboo has amazing flowering habits. There are many different kinds of bamboo in the world. And they have different flowering habits. A few flower each year, but most wait much longer. What is amazing is that all bamboo of the same kind will flower almost at the same time, where it is 6 growing! Nobody knows why. ‎ ‎● The white flower of the Amazon water lily (睡莲)is the size of a football, and the flower turns ‎ purple after it has been pollinated (授粉). ‎ ‎● The Caucasian lime can grow in Britain.

It has three reasons. First of all, there are so many exams for the students. Besides, the exams given are difficult in some way. Secondly, some students have to cheat in the exams because they are too lazy to study. The last reason is to please their parents and teachers. For some students, bad marks give them great pressure and make them depressed.‎ ‎ In my opinion, cheating in exams is wrong. It is not allowed in the school rules. We should take active attitude to our studies, be honest and hard-working, and try to get a mark which is true as well as good. In a word, study is our duty.‎ ‎ ‎
