road，its important to find ways to keep safe on your feet. dont suppose its your right of way. yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. it could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. you can be in the right legally, but that wont be much help when youre in the hospital.follow pedestrian signals. just as drivers arent supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. if the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字），stay where you are. trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe，especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red.give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. dont suppose that drivers willjam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. some provinces, such as alberta, issue (发出）a ticket if you dont give drivers enough time to brake.cross quickly. once youve followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, dont then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道）of traffic. theres no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.21. who is the text intended for?a. drivers. b. cyclists. c. pedestrians.d. police.22. what does the underlined word “distracted” in paragraph 2 mean?a. considerate. b. strange. c. kind-hearted. d. absent-minded.23. in what case would pedestrians in alberta be fined?a. racing against time with drivers.b. following crosswalk signals.c. crossing the crosswalk area.d. walking outside six lanes.24. what can be a suitable title for the text?a. rules for traffic policeb. tips to keep safe on your feetc. things every driver should knowd. signals for both pedestrians and driversbraising the cost of high-calorie drinks by a few cents, and highlighting calorie content in places where they are sold decreases sales, a new study shows.this research comes after much discussion in recent years about trying to fight against the nations obesity crisis（肥胖危机）by adding extra taxes to the cost of sugar-sweetened drinks, sometimes called a “soda tax”.researchers at harvard conducted a study in the cafeteria of a financial services company. they increased the price of high-calorie drinks (those that contained 150 calories or more per container), mostly soda, lemonade, whole chocolate milk, and some juices, by one cent per ounce（盎司）.the price of low-calorie drinks (45 to 149 calories) and zero-calorie drinks stayed the same. so a 20-ounce bottle of a high-calorie drink cost 20 cents more than the same-sized container of low-calorie or zero-calorie drinks.the increased price resulted in a fall of 16% in sales of high-calorie drinks, says block, the studys lead researcher and an assistant professor at harvard medical school.in the second part of the study, block and colleagues arranged drinks based on their calorie content in the coolers where they were sold. researchers put signs on the cooler at the top and bottom for each of the three types of drinks and listed the calorie range for each one. result: high-calorie drink sales decreased by 11%.barry popkin, a nutrition professor at the university of north carolina-chapel hill and one of the nations top experts on drink consumption（消费）, says, “this (price) study agrees with other research which shows that people are responsive to small price increases of one or two cents per ounce in sugar-sweetened drinks and will reduce their consumption of them.”25. what can be inferred from paragraph 2?a. people are aware of the threat of obesity crisis.b. the cost of sugar-sweetened drinks contains soda tax.c. the nations obesity crisis is under control after the research.d. nothing but the research has been done to respond to obesity crisis.26. which of the following had a rise in price during the study?a. milk without any calorie.b. drinks that weigh 20 ounce.c. lemonade with 200 calories.d. juices containing 149 calories.27. what does barry popkin mean in the last paragraph?a. the study has been conducted many times by other experts.b. people are likely to ignore a price increase of one cent per ounce.c. he believes that the sales of high-calorie drinks will certainly fall.d. a rise in price works in reducing the sales of high-calorie drinks.cfor at least a decade, bridgette haffner routinely ran into john grant. her parents immigrated from sierra leone in the early 1970s before she was born. in washington, the family found a booming community of immigrants from their country. and almost any occasion（时刻）birthday party, graduation, baby showerwas cause for a big, lively celebration. grant was quickly pulled into the same circle when he moved to the area in 1994. he left sierra leone at age 18, went to the university of maryland and became an accountant. he knew haffner only well enough to say hello, but he was always looking for an opportunity to continue the conversation. “she was beautiful, and i liked her character,” says grant, now 40. “but she was always with her mom and sister, so she was inaccessible. she was hard to get.” haffner thought grant seemed like a nice guyhe was always smiling, even if he never said much. but she didnt think much more about him. after college, shed lived in spain for a year before returning to the united states to help her mother and grandmother, who were both ill. unsatisfied with the care they received, she went to nursing school and started working in health care. once they were healthy, she focused on becoming a lawyer and living abroad. at a gathering in 2010, grant asked haffner if he could call her. she was surprised by his interest but gave him her number. they began to talk almost nightly. the conversations were “very lively”, recalls haffner, now 37. “we had a lot in common, and we could talk as friends.” they were both devoted to their families, their jobs and travel. when haffner mentioned she loved soccer, grant invited her to watch a world cup game at lucky bar near dupont circle. haffner, who grew up in a very traditional family and didnt drink, had never been to a bar. she was delighted by the invitation and soaked up（沉浸于）the rough atmosphereand grants company. 28. what can we infer from the 2nd paragraph?a. immigrants in the community led a very hard life.b. immigrants in the community had a lot of work to do.c. immigrants in the community didnt welcome outsiders.d. immigrants in the community enjoyed themselves very much.29. why did haffner go to nursing school?a. because she wanted to work well in health care. b. because her family wanted her to major in nursing. c. because she wanted to take better care of her mom and grandma. d. because her sick mom and grandma were unsatisfied with her care. 30. which is the right order of the following events? a. grant decided to date haffner. b. haffner routinely ran into grant. c. grant moved to the community where haffners family lived. d. haffner found she had a lot in common with grant. e. grant took haffner to a bar. f. grant phoned haffner. a. cbafdeb. bcafdec. bcfaedd. cbfade31. to grant and haffner, the memories can be described as _.a. distantb. freshc. regretfuld. embarrassingdwhen students read articles about scientific discovery, they learn what worked. scientists present the methods that got the best result. they often show only the results that are significant and important. what they wont show are the mistakes or failures that came first. yet sometimes those mistakes pointed the way to success.it can take a long time and many experiments to achieve scientific success. robbin, 16, and annabelle, 15, learned that while working this summer in a biochemistry lab at stony brook university in new york. whats more, they learned that failure is not necessarily something to fear.“i like the idea of scientific research,” says robbin. its the basic for “every lesson you learn in school and understanding everything you see in life.” this summer, robbin has been working with lauren, a chemistry student, who is making new drugs to fight harmful bacteria. at first, the tests made robbin anxious. she worried that she might be making costly mistakes. but lauren reassured her that finding out what doesnt work is “just part of the learning process”. with time, the teen got comfortable with the idea that every experiment wouldnt succeed.annabelle also learned a lot about failure and success. she worked with graduate student agnieszka gil. “sometimes i try something and it takes a while for the experiment to run.” this means that finding out whether annabelle did something wrong can be a stressful waiting game, because “if you did something wrong you need to do it again.” but shes now learning to be patient and not to expect instant success.in science, figuring out why something failed is what may just put them on the road to success.32. what impresses students most in articles about scientific discovery?a. scientists achievements. b. the reasons for success. c. the cause of mistakes. d. stressful process of research.33. what can we learn from the passage?a. robbin is a graduate student. b. lauren managed to make new drugs. c. annabelle learns the value of patience. d. agnieszka expected an instant success.34. what did robbin and annabelle have in common in their experiments?a. they did their experiments independently.b. they realized not all experiments would succeed.c. they assisted graduate students to make new drugs.d. they made severe mistakes in the experiments.35. what does the writer intend to tell us? a. the cause of making errors in science. b. the significance of scientific discovery. c. the importance of doing experiments. d. the correct attitudes towards failures.第二节

days when it comes to what qualities you possess. what strong quality applies to you may be what will drag you to become successful. and whatever the world has to think or say about those qualities
