Many of you maybe had this experience: you get on a train and are ready to take a nap or read a book, only to find that the young man in front of you is watching a TV show on his smartphone without headphones. The child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip.
Wish the train could be less noisy The Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, one of China’s busiest high-speed rail lines, will have “quiet” carriages (车厢) starting from 23 December, Xinhua reported.
In quiet carriages, on-board videos will be muted (静音) and announcements will be made lower. Doors at the ends of the carriages will be kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages, CGTN noted. Train attendants will be responsible for making sure that passengers keep quiet and follow the rules.
Passengers who are willing to obey the rules can choose the quiet carriages when booking their tickets, according to China’s national railway operator.
Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages. They say that having quiet carriages might give people the impression that they don’t need to be quiet in non-quiet carriages.
Some Internet users uphold the new service (服务), but it also has discussion about just how quiet travellers should be in quiet carriages. Many people have asked questions such as “What if I snore (打鼾) ” and “Can we talk to our travel companions (同伴) if we need to ”
54．How will quiet carriages work
A．Passengers won’t be allowed to watch videos.
B．Train attendants won’t make any announcements.
C．No one will make sure passengers follow the rules.
D．The doors at the ends of carriages will stay closed.
55．What does the underlined word “uphold” in the last paragraph mean
A．protect B．support C．improve D．dislike
56．What do we know from the last two paragraphs
A．The rules should be made clearer.
B．Most people don’t like the service.
C．The service is better for travelling with friends.
D．It’s easy to make all the carriages completely quiet.

(One day, Gulliver was caught in a storm and his ship hit a rock, then damaged. He was washed to the beach. When he woke up, he found himself in Lilliput and a lot of tiny people were around him.)
The Emperor spoke in a low voice but I could hear all the words clearly. His Majesty and I often spoke to each other but neither of us understood a single word. I tried words from many languages. No one could understand me, not even the cleverest of the Emperor’s followers.
After about two hours the Emperor left. His wife, children and their servants went also. There were strong guards around me. This was to stop the crowd of people from hurting me.
An officer told the guards to hold six men who made me angry. These men were given to me and I had to choose their punishment. I put five of them in my pocket. Then I pretended (假装) to eat the sixth man.
The poor man screamed terribly. The guards were worried when they saw my knife in my hand. I only cut the rope round his hands. Then I put him on his feet and let him go. I lifted the other five men out of my pocket and put them gently on the ground too.
The people and the soldiers were very pleased with my great kindness. They told the Emperor about it immediately. Emperor ordered his men to make a bed for me and they had to join six hundred of their little beds together to make one bed for me.
At the same time the Emperor asked all his advisers for their advice on how to deal with me. They were very worried. If they set me free, I might be dangerous. I was eating so much food that soon all the people would be hungry. The farmers could not grow enough food to feed all of us.
The wise men thought that they should kill me. But they would not be able to bury (埋葬) me. My dead body would smell. This might cause much illness all over the country.

What are the hopes of teenagers (青少年) We received several different answers to the question: What would you like to do after you finish your education (教育) 62 Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to college. Although money is important, many teenagers want to do jobs they like.
63 Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic (现实的) than others. For example, many students would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup. And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.
According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common (常见的), but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to make their dreams come true. Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous, maybe famous sports people or singers. Some students would like to go on exciting trips. One student would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. 64 Three students would like to be able to fly.
It is clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. 65 It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams. One day they may just be realized.
A．On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things.

Leng Guangmian is now getting more people to know about the reduction woodcut. He trains （培训） farmers in Pu’er and brings the art into schools.
