     Now we have comfortable buses in New York. I would like to describe to you how comfortable
 they are. The number of the seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19.      
     In the beginning, they just changed the normal seats to airplane seats and took off 10 seats on the 
bus.  However, every passenger (乘客) wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when he
 took long distance trips by bus.  Also, the bus manager wanted to get more profits (利潤),  so they
 changed the airplane seats to sofas, -and the  number of the seats becomes 19.     
    The new buses are coming out, but the prices are going up too. The owners have many ideas which
 you have probably never thought about before.  Now they have bus attendants (服務(wù)員) who serve 
water, snacks, newspapers and towels.       
     Also,  you can change the direction of the sofas so that you can feel more comfortable, and they 
have a service bell on each sofa.  Moreover (而且), some companies play some videos on the bus. 
In addition, when you take a long distance trip, they provide luxurious buses that have an LCD  (液晶
顯示器) on each seat.  That is not the only surprising thing on the bus-they also have three different 
video channels, and seventy TV games for killing time when you are on the bus.      
     In a word, we want to be more comfortable when we are on a trip. That is the reason why we 
have sofas on the buses.  Maybe we will have beds on the buses in the future.
1. How many seats did they take off in the beginning?            
A. 44.     
B. 19.     
C. 10.      
D. 34.
2. What does the word "luxurious" mean in the passage?               
A. 豪華的    
B. 堅固的   
C. 明亮的   
D. 寬敞的
3. They provide TV programs and games on the bus to _______.                
A.  cut the price of the bus                
B.  make the trip not boring                    
C.  get people interested in driving                
D.  let the passengers know the latest news
4.  What would be the best title for this passage?                
A.  Fewer Seats, More Bus Fares                
B.  A Comfortable Long Distance Trip                    
C.  Buses, a Usable (可用的) Form of Traveling                
D.  Comfortable Bus Seats Make Travel Life Good

     No air means death. Although we can not see it, there is air round us. So air is everywhere and it gives
life to every living thing. Without it we can not live. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to
keep us in good health.
     In the city there are a great many people and there are too many cars running on the roads. The gas
which the cars spread out is full of poison. Everyday we breathe it in again and again. This makes us feel
sick. Therefore people should go out of door as much as they can.
     Besides so many cars, there are many factories too. From the chimneys of these factories, we get the
smoke usually in black or grey colour. This kind of smoke, when it mixes the air, is dangerous to our health.
It is because smoke contains many small poisonous solids and gases. So in order to keep us healthy we have
to go out to the countryside to breathe more fresh air. Or we can go up hills to get more fresh air.

     No one can change the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell how
the weather will be. This way of telling of what the weather will be like on the following day or two is
called weather forecasting. For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather
and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sigh of coming rain. Many people
feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints ache. Some birds fly high if fine weather is
coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because
of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this
is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars
twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continues. If a fog appears in the morning just above a
river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be
warm. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above
saying have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather
forecasting.
1. People's joints ache _______.
A. is a sign of coming rain

C. because they are ill

     No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make a good impression
from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know
what to do. We have some tips for you to make it through the first day at a new job:
     # First impression can last forever. Make sure you make a good impression. Before your first day, find
out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it.
Remember always to be neat and clean.
     # Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
     # Pay attention to introductions. One of the first that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-
workers (同事). These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones that will answer your questions
when the boss is not around.
     # Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or
she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
