New York is a very large city with 8 million people. How do so many people move about the city on their way to work and school? So, we should know something about its transportation.
In New York you can travel about the city by subway, bus, taxi and car. The subway runs on the railroad lines under the city. It crosses the city at different points and goes all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city.
The second way to travel around the city is by public bus. It’s a slower way to travel. This is because the bus moves in road traffic which is often heavy.
You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is the most expensive way, but the taxi will take you to the very place you wish to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, this is the “rush hour”. This is the time when the traffic is very heavy with people going to and from work.
The last way to get around New York is using your own car. However（但是）, it’s not easy for you to drive, especially（尤其是）when you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident（交通事故）on the road, you will have to wait for a long time.
The best time to travel around the city is from 9am to 4 pm. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic will be less crowded because most people are already at school or at work. This passage is mainly（主要）about _____.

More people are buying tickets over the phone or the Internet for travel and other things. Not only are people doing their shopping electronically (电子地), but also many businessmen are giving “electronic tickets” or “e-tickets (电子机票)” to the buyers.
The most common use for electronic tickets today is for air travel. Airlines have surely removed paper tickets by asking more money for them than for electronic tickets. Although some companies offer the choice to buy tickets online, these tickets aren’t electronic, because they can be used by anyone holding the ticket for travel or entrance.
Electronic tickets are usually bought online, over the phone or from travel businessmen. A system online or over the phone will tell you that the ticket is electronic, and will ask you to offer some personal information depending on its requirements (要求). You’ll receive a confirmation (确认) number showing your buying. You should keep this number.
The system will also tell you what must be shown at the time of travel or the event. Photo identification, such as ID card, confirmation numbers and credit cards (信用卡) will probably be required. Make sure that you have the right ID. On the day of the travel or the visit, it will be used often.

I used to be an easily angry boy. But since I watched a TV report, I have changed a lot.
That evening, after doing my homework, I sat down to watch a report on TV. It said that two young boys were once good friends, but one day they fought each other just because of a joke between them. At that time both of them were too angry with each other, so one killed the other finally. The result for the two was so terrible. One was dead, far away from his family and his friends forever. The other was put into prison (监狱). All this happened just because of anger (愤怒).
Anger is a bad thing, which may cause some terrible things to happen, either to ourselves or to others around us. Being angry easily is not a good habit for a clever man.
As an article says, “We cannot change the way other people act, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.” Maybe smiling at others is the easiest way. If others’ ideas are really not good, keep an open mind. Having a friend is much better than having an enemy (敌人) after all!What kind of boy did the writer use to be?
_________________________________________What made the writer change a lot?
_________________________________________Why did the two good friends fight with each other?
_________________________________________Can anger cause bad things to ourselves and others around us?
_________________________________________What should we do if we cannot change the way other people act according to the article?

Stop and listen! What do you hear? You may hear many different sounds. Some of those sounds may be noise. Noise is a loud or unwanted sound.
Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, jet planes (喷气式飞机), farm tractors, and power motors. And, to some people, rock music is also a noise.
What happens to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time? Doctors have found that these people have trouble in sleeping. And most importantly, constant (连续的) loud noise can cause loss of hearing.
Scientists use a unit of measure called a decibel(分贝) to measure the loudness of a sound. The sound of a quiet room, for example, measures 35 decibels. Talking measures between 40 and 65 decibels. Sounds from traffic and from some rock bands measure over 120 decibels. Noise at such high level causes the greatest hearing loss.
根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。According to the passage, noise is all sounds that you can hear.
A “decibel” is a machine that makes loud noise.
Loud noise can help people sleep better.
Not all people think that rock music is a noise.
We can infer (推断) from the passage that noise is a serious problem.
