(B) How can we lessen(减少) traffic accidents? All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians(行人), it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street. 54. Which of the following is NOT the right way to cross the road? A.

The number of the seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19. In the beginning, they just changed the normal(正常的) 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 (利润),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 (服务员)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. What’s more, 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 (液晶彩色显示器)on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus一they also have three differ¬ent 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. 62.

The story is that it started when two students at Cambridge University began knocking a cork(软木塞) to each other across a table, using old boxes. In about the year 1800, an American businessman of sports goods(体育商品) produced a game that he called Indoor Tennis. The Americans showed no interest in it. He shipped it to London and it soon became popular in Britain. The game was then played across dining room tables, or on the floor with the net string(网子) between chairs. The players used a ball made of cork or rubber. A few years later a hollow(空的) ball like the one we use today was invented. People all over the world loved it at once. A man called Mr. Wood of London, had the idea of covering the bats(拍子) with rubber. The London businessmen who first sold the game in England called it “Ping-pong”- “ping” meant the sound of the bat hitting the ball, and “pong” was the sound of the ball hitting the table. The game is played everywhere, but not everybody likes it. Some even think it is a silly game.
