I saw an accident on my way to the college three days ago.
I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop. When the bus came, I got on the bus and sat on the window side. The bus started to move. After about five minutes, the bus stopped to wait for the signal ( 信号灯). I looked outside and saw an old man crossing the road. There were not many people on the road. A boy was riding a motorbike very fast from my side. It seemed that he did not see the signal. When the boy took notice of the old man, he tried to slow down his motorbike but there was no time. He collided with the old man very badly. The old man was thrown far away. The boy also fell down. His head hit the road but it was saved because of his helmet (头盔). Both of them lay in the pool of blood. Many people gathered (聚集) around them and gave their ideas. I
got afraid because I saw the whole accident. Then a woman stopped and called the ambulance ( 救护车). It came quickly and rushed them to the hospital.

The idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals. We have been taught from a young age that the colour red means danger and green means it's okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place For something we have to look at every day, why couldn't they have been prettier colours
Well, it's important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And it's been that way ever since.
Red has always been a colour that meant danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because it's the colour with the longest wavelength so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colours.
But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be painted yellow.
So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get so mad at them; they've certainly come a long way.
26.What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars
A. Trains. B. Boats. C. Planes. D. Bicycles.
27.Which of the following colours meant go at first
A. Red. B. Yellow. C. White. D. Green.
28.Why does red mean danger
A. Because it's the brightest colour. B. Because it can be seen far away.
C. Because railway computer say so. D. Because it has the shortest wavelength.
29.Why are school buses painted yellow
A. Because yellow is a prettier colour. B. Because yellow once meant danger.
C. Because yellow can be seen well. D. Because yellow means it's OK to go forward.
30.What does the text mainly tell us
A. How important traffic lights are. B. Which colour has the longest wavelength.
C. What red, yellow and green can be used for. D. Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.

After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china (瓷), plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others' cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.
Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

C. he tried to tell the students how to understand life
D. he hoped that they could have better cups
34. The passage tells us that________.
A. the cup can add quality to the coffee
B. the cup can change the quality of our life
C. different kinds of cups should be given to different kinds of people

C. We should pay more attention to the cups than the coffee.
D. Try your best to make everything in your life best.

Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children usually meet with accidents because of their carelessness. They for get to look and listen before they cross the road.
How can we lessen(减少) traffic accidents All of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians(行人), it’s very important to be careful when they are walking on the road. Therefore, when we walk across the road, we must try to walk along the pavements. We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear, we can cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Teens should try to help children, old people or blind people to cross the road, and never play in the street.

Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be painted yellow.
So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, don't get so mad at them; they've certainly come a long way.

After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher. All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups—china (瓷), plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, “If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink.”
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others' cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.
Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.
The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

34.细节理解题。根据In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. it is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink，可知，事实上，杯子本身并不能提高咖啡的质量，它只是一个用来装我们喝的东西的工具，故选D。

In a word， we should try our best to protect ourselves and value our lives．
That's all．Thank you !
