I was working as a consultant (顾问) in a beer company, helping the president and senior vice-presidents with something important. It was a big challenge. At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.
I worked during the day and drove miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful, but it was what I wanted to do. My promise was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day, even though my evenings were very hard. I didn't want to bother the president with my situation. But I felt someone at the company wanted to know what was going on. So I told the vice-president of Human Resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone.
A few days later, the president called me into his office. I figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his large desk, looked me in the eye and said, “I heard your mother is very ill.”
I was totally taken by surprise and burst into tears. He just looked at me, let my crying subside (平息), and then he gently said a sentence I will never forget, “Whatever you need.” That was it. His understanding and willingness both to let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of compassion (同情) that I carry with me to this day.

Located in Pisa, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy has become the sign of Italy. It is the third oldest structure in Pisa's Cathedral Square. There are eight floors in the Leaning Tower of Pisa including the observation deck at the top. The weight of the tower is about 14,500 metric tons. There are amazing facts of the Leaning Tower of Pisa that we will mention here.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa was not originally intended to lean, but because it was built on soft soils the tower gradually leaned to one side. Prior to its restoration (修复) from 1990 to 2001, the tower had a tilt (倾斜) of 5.5 degrees. Many people think that it will fall one day. Millions of tourists come to the lawns around the tower to take the classic photo pretending to hold up or knock down the tower.
It is said that you must visit the Leaning Tower of Pisa during the day. At night the shops are closed and it appears unimpressive. But, if you plan to visit on a full moon night, the tower will look charming. Mornings are the best time to beat the crowds. Summer in Pisa is very hot and wet, but you can expect rain in fall and winter.
Even though some people regard the tower as an engineering failure owing to the tilt, the tower has acquired a special place in history. The tower has also been used for experiments by the famous Italian scientist named Galileo Galilei. He is believed to have thrown two balls of different mass from the tower to prove that their falling time is not related to their mass.
On your tour you should not miss various places of interest near the Leaning Tower of Pisa including Lucca, Florence, and Santa Maria della Spina.
28. Why does the tower tend to lean to one side
A. The base of the tower was not strong. B. It was originally designed like that.
C. Many people came to knock it down. D. The builders used a lot of soft soils.
29. When will you visit the tower if you dislike being disturbed
A. At night. B. In the morning. C. In summer. D. In winter.
30. What has made the tower much more famous
A. That it is an obvious engineering failure.
B. That it will fall to the ground in the near future.
C. That the restoration lasted more than ten years.
D. That Galileo once did experiments on the tower.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Excellent scenes in Pisa. B. A wonderful visit to Pisa.
C. The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. D. Galileo Galilei and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
30. What has made the tower much more famous

Earthquakes are a natural disaster—except when they're man-made. The oil and gas industry has forcefully used the technique known as hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂法) to destroy sub-surface rock and liberate the oil and gas hiding there. But the process results in large amounts of chemical-filled waste water. Horizontal drilling (水平钻孔) for oil can also produce large amount of natural, unwanted salt water. The industry deals with this waste water by pumping it into deep wells.
On Monday, the US Geological Survey published for the first time an earthquake disaster map covering both natural and “induced” quakes. The map and a report show that parts of the central United States now face a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain (不稳定地形) of California.
Some 7 million people live in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes, the USGS said. The list of places at highest risk of man-made earthquakes includes Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Colorado, New Mexico, Ohio and Alabama. Most of these earthquakes are relatively small, in the range of magnitude (震级) 3, but some have been more powerful, including a magnitude 5.6 earthquake in 2011 in Oklahoma that was connected to waste water filling.
Scientists said they do not know if there is an upper limit on the magnitude of man-made earthquakes; this is an area of active research. Oklahoma has had prehistoric earthquakes as powerful as magnitude 7.
It's not immediately clear whether this new research will change industry practices, or even whether it will surprise anyone in the areas of newly supposed danger. In Oklahoma, for example, the natural rate of earthquakes is only one or two a year, but there have been hundreds since hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, with the waste water filling, became common in the last ten years.
32. What kind of human activities can cause earthquakes
A. The man-made produced waste water in the factories.
B. The process of digging deep wells in those poor areas.
C. The oil or gas industry's work connected with the earth.
D. The advanced techniques used to deal with waste water.
33. What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Man-made. B. Reduced. C. Newly-built. D. Controlled.
34. How much magnitude can man-made earthquakes reach
A. It's been said as small as magnitude 3.
B. It's being studied without a final conclusion.
C. It has been said as high as magnitude 7.
D. It has risen by an average of magnitude 5.6.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. 7 Million Americans at Risk of Man-Made Earthquakes
B. Natural Earthquakes in America Are Disappearing Now
C. Time for Oil and Gas Industry Change Their Working Practice
D. More Often Earthquakes as Powerful as Magnitude 7 in America
