In England, people used to stand on the right of escalators(扶梯), allowing others to walk on the left. But there is some change to this rule. People can stand on both sides of escalators at Holborn station. As one of the busiest stations of London Underground, Holborn was the first station in the country to ask travelers to stand on both the right and left sides of escalators. A test was carried out first. The test which lasted for three weeks showed that standing on both sides actually reduced(减少)congestion by 30 percent—16 , 220 people an hour are able to travel on the escalator during rush hours compared to the usual 12 ,745 when both standing and walking are allowed.
Transport for London (TfL) hopes the new standing rule will make the most of wasted space on longer escalators, where most people choose to wait on the right. London Underground Operation director Peter McNaught said, Few customers choose to walk on longer escalators such as at Holborn, so much of the left-hand side is unused. We hope that this can lead to reduced congestion at Holborn and make journeys easier for all of our customers.”

Traveling is an exciting experience. It makes us feel pleased, and enjoy new wonders and new part of life that we’ve never known. A single holiday trip can give you the freedom and the chance to make changes that daily life does not allow. It matters little where you go on your holiday. It is all in what you make of it. Any travel can be interesting and attractive, and give you memories to last a lifetime.
Having those memories is truly what travels are all about. Many people say that a bit of a planning and research before you leave can make sure of those long-lasting memories. But why not try something unexpected In fact, the most unforgettable moments of a travel experience are the ones that you don't plan for. Yes. Maybe you’ll experience a bad meal in an unfamiliar place. But this experience will make sure you discover little-known shops or an open-air theater production that is only advertised in the local paper.
You’ll find the enjoyable moments happening all around you: a wonderful sunset or a small child playing in the puddles of a cobble road. The magic will truly be in the trip you take. Take time to go for a long walk for enjoyment when visiting a new place, which will allow you to listen, smell, and see the different culture and sights that your busy life may stop you from enjoying.
Simple things such as a leaf from a tree you sat under can keep the memories of your travel alive for years to come. Collect small things such as leaves, stones, or feathers, which can be turned into memorable works of art when you get back home.

People often think of the North Pole(北极) and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)wastelands. They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there. However, the North and South Poles are not much alike as people may imagine.
The North Pole has no land, only thick ice. Temperatures seldom go above 32°F, at which water turns into ice. Most of the time, it stays below zero. In winter temperatures are usually as low as -30°F.
Although conditions were very poor, people tried for many centuries to reach the North Pole. About 100 years ago, two men, Robert Peary and Mathew Henson, were able to get to this environment full of troubles and difficulties. They reached the North Pole on March 8th, 1909. It was really a hard trip for them.
There are few things more dangerous than crossing the Arctic(北极圈) on foot. People who stayed there may face many problems: very cold temperatures, sudden storms, and even hunger. Most of the area is uninhabited. Few people can live in such a difficult place.
People might think that with such low temperatures for most of the year, the ice would be thick and hard. However, this is not true in the Arctic. The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the surface. Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water(水道) called “leads”. Anyone who falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.
31.This passage is probably from ___________.
A.a book review B.a science book
C.a school report D.a computer magazine
32.According to the passage, what happened about 100 years ago
A.Two men succeeded in getting to the North Pole.
B.Temperatures in the North Pole went above 32°F.
C.The environment in the North Pole suddenly became worse.
D.The North Pole changed into thick ice because of the temperatures.
33.What does the underlined word “uninhabited” probably mean in Chinese
A.气候恶劣的 B.充满危险的 C.困难重重的 D.无人居住的
34.The reason for the ice to break into two opening lanes of water is _____________.
A.that the temperature suddenly drops B.that the water under the ice is frozen
C.that the ocean water under the ice moves D.that the surface is covered with lots of ice
35.What does this passage mainly talk about
A.The thick ice in the North Pole.
B.A difficult trip to the North Pole.
C.The real situation in the North Pole.
D.The differences between the North Pole and the South Pole.
Possible Earth-Like Planet Next Door
Scientists say they discovered an earth-like planet outside our solar system (太阳系). It is a planet that could support life.
This planet is just 4.2 light years away from us. It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor. They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of the century -- in time for people alive today to see it.
An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called "Proxima Centauri". The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature.
Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life. And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold. The newly-discovered planet is a little larger than earth Scientists have named it Proxima B.It moves around its sun, Proxima Centauri, once every 11 days.
American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth-like planets. In 2013, scientists' best guess was that there are about one billion (1,000 million) "earths" in space.
Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research. He said that Proxima B not only confirms (确认) the discovery of a planet, but also increases the number of other possible“earths” greatly.
Boss said it is possible, even likely, that most stars have at least one earth-like planet, which he considers surprising.
So from the early number of a billion, this new research suggests there may be as many possible earth-like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy (银河系). That is, anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion "earths".
This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely Boss said he believes human beings will be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. "I am 65," he said, "but I expect to still be alive when it happens."
36.When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proxima B
A.In about eighty years.
B.In about 4. 2 years.
C.In about eleven days.
D.In about one billion years.
37.In the fourth paragraph, the writer thinks that _______ is necessary for life.
A.water
B.light
C.air
D.wind
38.What does the underlined word "This" stand for in the last paragraph
A.Scientists have discovered an earth-like planet last month.
B.There are far more earth-like planets than people thought.
C.Proxima B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor.
D.The Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in.
39.What does Alan Boss mean by saying "but I expect to still be alive when it happens"
A.His health is in good state and he's sure he will live a long life.
B.Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years.
C.Scientists may soon find fact that there’s life on other planets.
D.America is far ahead of other countries in space research.
