26、Urban Transportation in Canada
Public transportation & Transit passes
All cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.
Transportation for people with disabilities
Public transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.
Etiquette on public transportation
When taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:
◆ Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.
◆ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.
◆ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.
◆ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.
【1】What is the advantages of using transit passes over buying tickets?
A.Lower costs.

27、Good morning. The program today is about music. The word “music” comes from the Greek word “muse”. The Muses are the goddesses of the arts. Music is only one of the arts. It is like the spoken language, but it uses sounds. Today’s program brings together music from different corners of the world. Who invented music? Who sang the first song? No one knows exactly the answers to these questions. But we know that music plays an important part in almost everyone’s life. Babies and young children love to hear people singing to them.

29、In early 2021, I hit a rut in my studies. Although I had been productive early in my graduate career, my long hours and hard work were no longer translating into success in the laboratory, and I felt hopeless about achieving my goals.
As I began to search for the cause of my struggles, I became increasingly aware that my “quiet time” at the lab bench was anything but. Instead of thinking about science, I was watching television or interacting with social media on my smartphone. Although I could mask this inefficiency (低效率)with longer hours, my work felt disorganized. Through reflection, I came to understand my problem.
To make a change, I reduced my connectivity by using a basic mobile phone without an Internet connection during work hours, and removing unnecessary apps from my smartphone when I did use it. Things didn’t go smoothly in the beginning, but with time, I started reading papers during long experiments, and began a habit of writing in my down time. These practices have already yielded success: I am currently preparing a review article for publication with my adviser. I have also felt more engaged in meetings — coming better prepared, asking questions and taking hand-written notes. Perhaps most importantly, I have felt my anxiety about work efficiency disappear and that my disorganized work-life relationship is traded for one with clearer boundaries.
Changing my smartphone habits has also created challenges. Not all my friends have been supportive of my reduced connectivity, and I have missed messages on communication services. Yet these problems have been a small price to pay for increased productivity. So if you find yourself in this situation, I encourage you to build down time and uninterrupted study into your schedule, which could be significant for your success.
【1】What does the underlined expression “my ‘quiet time’ at the lab bench was anything but” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Screen time took up too much of my work hours.
B.I was busy in reflecting on my work inefficiency.
C.I always had a good rest quietly at the laboratory bench.
D.Watching TV on my phone is always my choice during a break.
【2】According to the author, what is the major benefit of changing smartphone habits?
A.Enough time to read papers.
B.A good balance between work and life.
C.The ability to publish scientific articles.
D.More chances to attend important meetings.
【3】What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A.A full schedule for study is important in determining people’s career.
B.The author’s friends didn’t support his decision on smartphone usage.
C.Missed messages on communication apps didn't cause trouble to the author.
D.It is worthwhile to reduce the connectivity on smartphone despite challenges.
【4】From the passage we can know that the author ________ .
A.cared about what others said very much
B.chose to abandon his smartphone to make a change
C.hoped to help others by sharing his own experience
D.many times he tried to improve his work efficiency but failed
