Each day, about one hundred thous
24、and cars cross the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant.Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters (经常来往于市郊区者). These are the people who travel under the
25、bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again.The ferry(渡船) they take is the large, quiet, comfortable “Golden Gate.” Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat. In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and
26、in the evening they can have a drink in the bar while they are looking at San Franciscos famous scene and the nearby hills.The trip takes only thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel more friendly towards each other. Two commuters who met on th
27、e “Golden Gate” have already got married.Because the boat has been so successful, there are plans to use other, still larger boats. There is also a plan for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. Not everyone is happy about that. “A lot of people dont want to get the trip
28、 faster,” said one commuter. “They feel that half an hour is just enough time to rest.”56Over _ cross the Golden Gate Bridge during rush hours every day.A100,000 people B50,000 peopleC100,000 cars D50,000 cars57Grossing the Golden Gate Bridge by car is not pleasant because _.Ait takes people 30 minu

At that time, a ticket only cost 20 fen. But to me, a little girl of 12, 20 fen seemed quite a lot. I reached the cinema in a
32、great hurry. Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for buyer. A handsome young man noticed me and the ticket in my hand. He came towards me with a big smile. Youve got an extra ticket? Yes, I nodded. Thats great. Say, how much? Twenty fen. Oh, he thought for a while and then took out a ten-
33、yuan note from his wallet. Im very sorry, but Ive only got this note. Seeing I was confused(迷惑), he added, Then, how about waiting for a while? Ill give you the money after I have changed it in the cinemas store. Without much thinking, I agreed. Then we went to the cinema together. He walked fast. I
34、 could hardly keep up with him. By and by, he left me farther and farther behind. Soon he disappeared in the crowd. I stood there without knowing what to do. Suddenly I seemed to realize the handsome young fellow had cheated me. He had saved twenty fen, but lost his honor. It seemed to be a funny or

38、ada-Many people think that icebergs(冰山) are big and frightening. They can sink ships and kill people. We dont usually think that they can be useful . However, a company in Newfoundland, Canada, decided that they could make money by using icebergs.Iceberg Industries is a company in St. Johns, Newfoun
39、dland. The company makes beer and Vodka from the water of iceberg. They even advertise their products with the words: “Made from the water of northern icebergs.” Because the weather is very cold in Newfoundland, the company can usually find as much ice as they need near the coast. But for the last f
40、ew years, the weather has been warmer than usual, and there hasnt been enough ice.Morris Murphy , a vice-president of Iceberg Industries , had a good idea. He decided to go to Iqaluit, a village in northern Canada , to make a deal with a company there. The name of the company is QC Corporation , and
41、 it is owned by Inuit Indians. “We want them to supply icebergs for our beer and vodka,” Murphy says. “Iqaluit is a good place to do business.

43、o live in Iqaluit and the area around it. Usually the ships are empty when they go back south.

48、d to get along with your teacher because, in general, its smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people youll meet throughout your life. But really, theres one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do,” learning bursts right open” says Evelyn Vuk
49、o, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called ”Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper. In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but theyre more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and
50、do your best on tests.
