Have you ever noticed how busy our roads are becoming Every year more and more cars are using them. Already in such countries as America, almost every family has a car. Many accidents happen because cars are now made to travel very fast. Also, people waste time and money every day as long lines of cars move slowly into towns and cities. In most big towns it is very hard to find parking spaces.
Wide, smooth (平的), straight roads must be built now in place of the old and narrow roads. These roads must not pass through towns and cities. They must not be crossed by other roads. Today such roads are being built in many countries in the world. These roads have at least two lanes (车道), one for slow-moving traffic and the other for fast-moving traffic.
These roads do not pass through town and cities; horses and bikes are not allowed on them. Accidents do not usually happen. Cars can travel hundreds of miles without having to stop.
But these modem roads often cannot be built in towns and cities. Before a road in a town can be made wider, many buildings have to be pulled down.
Some people feel that more car-parks should be built outside a city, then the drivers should leave their cars and catch a bus or take a taxi to their offices.
29. The writer thinks that many accidents happen because _______________.
A. roads are old and narrow B. roads go across each other
C. people drive their cars too fast D. all of the above
30. It is hard to build new roads in towns because _______________.
A. horses and bikes go there B. there are too many cars
C. there are too many people D. many buildings have to be pulled down
31. The passage is mainly about _______________.
A. the old roads B. roads of the future
C. how to build the modem roads D. roads in towns and in the country
C
We’ve come a long way from blackboards and chalk. Modern technology (技术) has provided us with lots of ways we can make learning more interesting. Perhaps most importantly of all, it's also more interactive (互动).
Some kinds of tools have been developed. They make the 21st century learning experience much more interactive and interesting. Catching the attention of students is always difficult, but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn.
For example, an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditional chalkboard. It allows the teachers to show images (图像) and provide sounds as well. If you think of a large computer screen with colorful images and sounds added in, you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern classroom.
Various audio (声音的) tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say. In the past, if a teacher said something that a child missed, perhaps the child was too timid (胆小的) or nervous to ask them to repeat it. Now they are less likely to miss out simply because they're sitting too far away from the teacher to hear them.
The 21st century classroom is able to teach pupils more than one thing. For example, imagine a history lesson is given in a modern classroom. How is it different from a classroom setting in the past The answer is simple. The students will not only learn about history itself, they will also learn how to use the modern equipment (设备) that helps the teacher get their messages across.
Modern technology can make teaching and learning easier. Student response (应答) system makes everyone able to express their opinions of answers without having to speak up. Since everyone can do it, the teacher can see who needs more help in other ways.
It's clear that this kind of classroom technology is making a great difference in modern classrooms.
32. Modern technology ______________.
A. is less interactive B. makes learning more boring
C. only uses blackboards and chalk D. provides us with many better learning ways
33. The interactive whiteboard ______________.
A. allows the teachers to show images and sounds as well
B. can't attract pupils attention in the class
C. is the same as traditional chalkboard
D. is a computer screen with only black and white images
34. How can the various audio tools help in learning
A. It makes sure that everyone is less likely to miss what the teachers say.
B. It makes the timid students brave enough to ask teachers to repeat what they say.
C. It helps teachers to speak as much as they can.
D. It can only repeat what the teachers say.
35. What can you imagine a modern classroom different from the one setting the past
A. Students can learn all subjects with modern technology except History.
B. Teachers don't have to be in the class.
C. Students can express their ideas more freely.
D. Teachers have to ask students who needs more help one by one.
36. In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase "making a great difference" means "___".
A. making a different thing B. playing an important role
C. not being a same thing D. preventing us from leaning

Why are some people more successful than others Why do some people make more money, live (44)_________ (happy) lives and achieve much more in the same number of years than most people
Over the years, I (45)_________ (read) thousands of books and articles (46)_________ the subject of success and achievement. It seems that the reasons for those achievements have been discussed for more than two thousand years in every way. But one thing that most experts agree on is self-discipline (自律).
Some years ago, I (47)_________ (attend) a meeting in New York. I happened to meet a gentleman. His name was Kopmeyer. He was famous in the field of success and achievement. He had written four books, and each of them had 250 success principles (原则). He had developed these during more than 50 years of research and study.

(49)_________ (luck), I had a chance (50)_________ (talk) with him. I asked him a question that many people would ask, “(51)_________ all the one thousand success principles, which is the most important ”
He smiled at me as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied without (52)_________ (think) twice, “There are 999 different success principles, but without self-discipline, none of them (53)_________ (work).” He went on, saying, “Many years ago, Thomas Huxley said the most important success principle is, 'Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.”
