Vicky Zhao is from the mainland working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she can't stand is people standing on the wrong side of the escalator (自动扶梯)in subway station.
''Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isn’t a place to rest, " the 24-years-old says, "I often see tourists blocking (挡住)the way with their heavy suitcases or chatting on the escalators during rush hour. It makes me very angry.”
Agreeing that she is not the patient type, Zhao says things are much better in Hong Kong than in cities on the mainland where people often pay no attention to "stand right, walk left" signs."
The reason behind the rule "stand right, walk left” seems clear. Even though you may want to have a rest and just wait while you're transported up or down, you should still consider others and leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and take the train.
But the people who stand on escalators will tell the walkers not to be so impatient. In a recent story about the escalator rule, one stander says, "If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs?"
Many cities' escalators, including London's and Beijing's, use the "stand right, walk left” rule to speed up the movement of people, (in Australian cities like Sydney you should stand on the left side instead)'But some cities discourage people from moving on escalators out of safety reasons. In Hong Kong's subway station people are asked to "stand still" on escalators. Even so, most people keep the "stand right, walk left" rule.
Whatever the escalator rule is in the place you live in or visit, do what most people are doing and always be mindful of others: leave enough space between each other, don't stay at the end of the escalator, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple "excuse me" is enough.
( )38. According to the passage, Vicky Zhao_______.
A. comes from Hong Kong B. is a 24-year-old girl
C. wants to be a patient person D. works in a subway station
( ) 39. The passage mentions that people are advised not to move on the escalator in _______.
A. London B. Beijing C. Sydney D. Hong Kong
( )40. It can be learnt from the passage that the writer _______.
A. is crazy about taking escalators B. agrees to the “stay left, walk right” rule
C. tells us to consider other people D. has been to Hong Kong many times
( )41. What’s the best title of the passage?
Get it right B. Help others C. Take station D. More fast

In the United States, Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday of May. It came in 1908 when a woman named Anna Jarvis created this unofficial holiday to honor mothers. However, Ms. Jarvis would later criticize Mother's Day. She said it had become too much about spending money.
Nowadays, most people celebrate Mothers’ Day by buying flowers, cards or other gifts for their mothers, or taking their mothers out to dinner in a nice restaurant. But today, you will not need any money at all. Instead, you can talk about some expressions that use the word "mother".
To start with, most mothers give birth, so, your motherland is the place where you were born and your mother tongue is your native language.
When we call something “the mother of all", this means it is the biggest or the best of something. Here is an example: We are going to throw the mother of all parties this weekend, so you have to come!
You might think all expressions about sweet and loving. Not so. A boy who is "tied to his mother's apron strings” is controlled by his mother. We can also call him a “mama’s boy”. Both of these terms are not good if you are talking about a man, not a young boy. It can be a huge mistake to marry a “mama’s boy” who is still “tied to mother's apron strings”.
( ) 42. Most people do the following things to celebrate Mother's Day nowadays EXCEPT_______.
A. Buying flowers for their mother.
B. doing housework with their mothers
C. buying cards or other gifts for their mothers.
D. taking their mothers out to dinner in a nice restaurant.
( )43. If somebody says, “it is the mother of all restaurants in the city” he probably means_______
A. this restaurant is too expensive
B. it is the best restaurant in the city
C. it is a common restaurant in the city
D.there aren’t many people in the restaurant
( )44. A “mama’s boy” means that a man who_______
A. is still too young B. is controlled by his mother
C. likes to spend time with his mother D. likes to play a trick on his mother
( )45. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Not all mother expressions are nice. B. Some mother expressions are loving.
C. People like all the mother expressions. D. Don't take mother expressions seriously.
