You dash through a crowded railway station, tripping over bags, spilling (泼出) your coffee, only to have the doors slide shut in your face, leaving you breathless on the platform as the train pulls away.
But at least, if you're in France, someone may be playing the piano for you. But it won't be performed by a paid musician, or even a street entertainer playing for coins. It will just be a random passer－by, jamming for the fun of it on one of the pianos that the national railroad company, SNCF, has fixed in nearly 100 stations across France. They are free for anyone to play, and travellers from all walks of life have taken to doing just that.
Gares & Connexions, the SNCF division that manages its stations, and rents the instruments from the producer, Yamaha: which maintains them and tunes them every month or two. The first one was set up in the Gare Montparnasse in Paris in 2012.
The music, mixed with the sounds of shouting passengers, screaming trains and rolling suitcases, gives French stations a special soundscape. The amateur musicians have included Irish soccer fans and even babies. In 2014, Gares & Connexions and Yamaha organised a nationwide contest called Your Turn to Play, asking participants to submit videos of themselves using one of the pianos. It drew nearly 900 entries.
Isn't the railroad company taking a big chance Apparently not: “None of the instruments has been vandalised to this day, or even merely damaged，” said Claire Foumon, a spokeswoman for Gares & Connexions. “They are shared and respected by all.”
So if you miss a train in Paris, Bordeaux or Marseille one day, perhaps someone will be playing a favourite piece that will ease your pain. Or perhaps you'll sit down and play your annoyance away yourself.
4. Why did Gares & Connexions fix pianos in railway stations
A. To advertise Yamaha's products.
B. To make stations more attractive.
C. To let travellers have a relaxing trip.
D. To help street artists make a living.
5. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us

D. Everyone can be an amateur musician.

C. Reserved in advance.
D. Destroyed on purpose.
7. What would be the best title for the text

D. An Amazing Train with a Piano Bar

The United States of America faces with serious traffic problems. Too many cars travel on the freeways to and from the city. This heavy traffic causes delays and lots of pollution from cars that are using their engines but not moving anywhere. Many cars going nowhere is called a “traffic jam”．
While many cities in the United States have traffic problems, some of the worst are in Los Angeles, California, which is a big city with a large downtown area. One of the reasons why there is so much traffic is that few people use public transportation to get around.
Experts say one possible solution to the traffic problems in Los Angeles would be to make people want to use the public transportation system of buses instead of their own cars. People say the buses should be made easier, faster, less costly and more dependable than driving a car.
One suggestion is to reduce the cost of taking the bus. Also, Los Angeles could make the buses easier for people to use. The buses could travel to more places in the city. And there could be more special lanes on the freeways that only buses could drive on. These changes would make taking the bus faster and easier than driving a car.
Other experts have said that the best way to ease traffic problems is to charge people money to drive on the freeways. These charges, or tolls, would be for the most crowded roads. The tolls would be in effect during the times of a day when most people drive to work and home. These times in the morning and late afternoon are called “rush hour”. People would try to avoid driving on these roads, which would decrease the amount of traffic. Also, the money collected from these tolls could be used to improve the roads and public transportation system.
8. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. Money charged when driving cars.
B. Causes of the heavy traffic jams.
C. Reasons to take public transportation.
D. Solutions to solving traffic problems.
9. Why does Los Angeles have some of the worst traffic problems
A. Because it is a very big city with a large population.
B. Because most people like to get around by car.
C. Because public transportation is very popular there.
D. Because there are not enough roads there.
10. What do people hope by marking out more special lanes on the freeways
A. Buses can travel to more places in the city.
B. Private cars can run much faster on them.
C. Buses seldom get stuck in traffic jams.
D. Passengers can get on and off the buses easily.
11. What would happen if people were charged on the most crowded roads at “rush hour”？
A. Less air pollution would be produced.
B. There would be no traffic jam.
C. The freeways would be more crowded.
D. The number of cars on them would be smaller.
D
Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”？ It is for children to go into the remote place for exciting activities. Now about 1，100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all their time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (干扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children busy with activities that are controlled (控制) by adults, which causes many problems. Children don't know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even slight danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.
Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in dangerous times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.
12. What is “Survival Holidays” according to the passage
A. Summer holidays.
B. Winter holidays.
C. Holidays to escape from danger.
D. Holidays to go into the place for exciting activities.
13. Which children may take part in “Survival Holidays”？
A. Poor children.
B. Rich children.
C. Children from cities.
D. Children from the countryside.
14. What's the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The reasons people dislike “Survival Holidays”．
B. The advantages of “Survival Holidays”．
C. The disadvantages of “Survival Holidays”．
D. The suggestions of taking part in “Survival Holidays”．
15. Which of the statements can children learn in “Survival Holidays”？
A. How to get good grades.
B. How to stay calm in dangerous times.
C. How to ask for help when they meet danger.
D. How to meet new friends in a team.
Ⅱ. 七选五
I thought business cards had gone out of fashion in the digital age, but I was wrong. I attended a conference recently, and everywhere I looked I saw people exchanging contact details with small cards.
It makes you relieved to know that your new acquaintance (认识的人) has a lasting record of you—rather than having to rely on their memory. 16 And if someone doesn't take your card, there's little hope of them knowing your name beyond this conversation. 17
? Be interested in them. It's a great way to make people willing to be receptive. If they've got an unusual name, ask them about it. Without even realising, they'll be automatically more interested in who you are.
? 18 When they realise that you know them, they'll feel it's even more important to remember you.
? Keep them focused. Distractions are the enemy of recall, so try not to do anything else while you introduce yourself. 19 Otherwise that thought process will replace your name in their short－term memory.
? Remind them to practise. Retrieving (检索) information is a powerful way to implant it in the brain. 20 And if you leave enough of a gap for them to try a little to recall who you are, you'll have the greatest impact on their memory long term.
A. Write their names on your card.
B. Repeat their names in conversation.
C. How to find a way to remember your name is a big problem.
D. And don't ask them something difficult immediately afterwards.
E. After all, remembering names is one of the hardest learning tasks of all.
F. However, there are some easy ways to impress your name on their brain.
G. So connect with the person again after your meeting—with a follow－up email, for example.

It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework，” Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their schoolbags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee's watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn't want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practising her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I'm going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I've won lots of competitions. But when I'm in a race, I'm not really thinking about winning. I'm just loving the feeling of being in the water...” Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee's watch really did have something magic about it.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. Nobody moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She's stolen my watch！” Lee said angrily. “It went missing at school yesterday.”

Just now, my cousin, Li Qiong, who left home to Australia for his further study last year, informed me that he would return next Saturday morning and asked me to pick him up at the airport. You know, we haven't seen each other for almost a year.
I sincerely hope you can accept my apology and understand my situation. I would appreciate it if you could allow me to make another date to show you around Beijing. Once again, I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Yours sincerely，

Everybody was staring at Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Jenny didn't answer. How could she explain about the watch and its magic？No one could understand. No one could believe. “But I saw you wearing it yesterday，” Miss Walker gently reminded him. For a moment Lee remained silent and then he apologised he had just remembered that. Jenny was relieved and said she had found it on the way home and decided to return it after the speech. Everybody was puzzled and asked why. Jenny was speechless again.
At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny's speech first. Jenny walked slowly to the front of the classroom. She couldn't think properly. All round her, a sea of faces was watching. She felt so frightened and the watch didn't seem magical at all. Suddenly she saw Miss Walker's encouraging eyes. Jenny took a deep breath. “I'm going to talk about swimming...” Ten minutes later the whole class stood up applauding Jenny's wonderful speech. Jenny smiled as she eventually realised the real source of confidence.
