21、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 forms of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must buy 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 help 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.
Manners on public transportation
When taking public transportation, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of behaviors 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.
◆Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself.
◆Have your proof of payment within easy reach in case you are asked to show it.
【1】What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?
A.More use of transport.
B.Longer service hours.
C.Lower costs.
D.Safer trips.
【2】How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?
A.By limiting their mobility on city buses.

22、 Recently a new network word “ghost” is popular on line, which refers to a sort of Internet social behavior that your net friends or loved ones don't answer your online messages or phones on purpose as if leaving the earth. Thus you often wonder whether those chatters are ghosts or pretending to be dead. This behavior is called ghosting in the English world, which means “playing with disappearance ”
"Ghost” is better known as a noun referring to spirits of the dead, but "ghost” used as a verb which means "to disappear suddenly like a ghost", or "play with disappearancew is relatively unknown. Finally, owing to its high using frequency on line , this usage has been added to the Oxford Dictionary of Contemporary English.
Playing with disappearance or ghosting also has different grades. Wendy Walsh, a professor of psychology from Boston University told us, There are different grades of ghosting: If you just read on social software but never answer, you are only a lightweight ghosting player ; if you meet a person several times but try to avoid him , you are an ordinary ghosting player; if you let your partner fall in love with you, but you suddenly disappear , which will give the other a heavy blow, you are a heavyweight ghosting player. ”
Why are some people accustomed to this kind of escapist social behavior? The Times reports that ghosting has a lot to do with how comfortable people feel and how they deal with their emotions. When they are in a complex interpersonal relationship, or it is too heavy for their weak mind to carry, they will have to choose to escape.
When you find yourself being ghosted, you may lose your self-respect, question yourself, or even hesitate to start the next friendship or love. How to get out of this emotional trouble? It's important to remember that when you're ghosted, it's the other's fault rather than yours. In addition, it‘s good to risk telling others how you really feel, even if it's not what they want to hear. Have you ever been ghosted? What do you think of this way of dealing with a relationship?
【1】Which sort of the following Internet social behavior can be described as ghosting?
A.Leaving your friend after a quarrel.
B.Love breaking up after a fight.
C.Not replying to net friends on purpose.
D.Missing after getting friends' money.
【2】According to professor Walsh, if you just read but never reply online, you are a( n) player.
A.heavyweight ghosting B.non-ghosting
C.ordinary ghosting D.lightweight ghosting
【3】Which paragraph tells us the reasons why people are used to ghosting?
A.Paragraph 2. B.Paragraph 3. C.Paragraph 4. D.Paragraph 5.
【4】How should you deal with it when you are ghosted according to the writer?
A.Never blame yourself and pour out your trouble to others bravely .
B.Search out their identification on the Internet and ruin their reputation.
C.Keep the trouble in mind and never tell others about it.
D.Turn to police for help and put them in prison.
23、 1 Study alone
Sometimes kids who study in a group can pick up new ideas and tips from others. Do you really want to take that chance?
2 Don’t bother taking notes
The mere process of writing down the teacher’s comments would make some of the material sink in, especially for some learners. If you take class notes, you’re more likely to have all the material you need when it comes time to study for a test. Forget that! Don’t write anything down, especially if it sounds important.
3 Fall asleep in class
You can always spot the kids who get good report cards. They are wide awake when the teacher is talking or showing examples on the board. You can tell these kids never watch TV or play video games until the wee hours of the morning. You can secure a really bad grade if you stay up half the night, drag yourself to class, then doze a little while the instructor is talking.
4 Leave your work at home
If, by some chance, you do all your homework and you do it very well, you still have a great shot at failing. All you have to do is leave your work at home! Successful students always gather all their materials together the night before.
5 Annoy the teacher
Chew gum, don’t pay attention in class, talk to your friends, sleep-do whatever you can to get on your teacher’s nerves. If you annoy the teacher, he or she will always know whether to give you credit for effort.
6 Don’t study for a test until the night before
Kids who get As and Bs usually begin studying as soon as they find out a test is coming. They start out by reading over all their notes the first night or two, then start testing themselves with little practice questions they make up. If you really want to get an F, avoid this kind of behavior at all costs. Wait until the night right before exam day.
【1】What do you think of the statements listed in bold letters?
A.We can benefit from them. B.Some of them are good for us in our study.
C.They tell us never to study like them. D.We should avoid such behaviors at work.
【2】What does the phrase “sink in” mean?
A.Go down under the surface of water. B.Understood clearly by the learners
C.Destroyed completely by the learners D.Good for the learners
【3】Which of the following statements is not true?
A.You can keep good grades if you are wide awake while the teacher is talking.
B.Successful kids are always well prepared for the materials the night before.
C.Never pay attention in class, and the teacher will give you credit for effort.
D.Kids can get As and Bs if they read over their notes at the beginning.
【4】Which of the following behaviors can get the instructor angry?
A.Chewing gum ,talking to your friends in class , paying attention to the teacher
B.Sleeping ,chewing gum, talking to your friends
C.Talking to your friends, taking notes in class, paying attention
D.Studying in group, taking notes, paying attention
24、I have been a teacher for some years. In my opinion, I don’t believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) could replace my teaching career. I have always been interested in human connection, and the way in which I can use these commotions to impire change and make a difference. 【1】, there are other ways where AI could make a more efficient and effective difference than I could on my own.
My teaching experiences over the past several years have been creative and inspiring- 1 believe that the job of educators extends beyond simply teaching students a set curriculum.【2】. They must constantly reflect on ways to better their teaching, and they must inspire their students to be the best versions of themselves. And now with the help of Al, they could achieve these goals much easier.
【3】. First, AI can be used to promote fundamental skills, such as mathematical education and vocabulary lessons. Additionally, I see AI being used for necessary tasks such as answering questions and grading assignments. Thus I could focus my attention on establishing human connection, individualizing lesson plans and inspiring my students.
【4】. I believe AI could provide a strong basis for educational equality around the world. According to Todd Leopold, close to 800 million people worldwide are functionally illiterate (不识字的). Due to its ability to efficiently pass knowledge across large groups of people, fewer teachers may be needed in some schools.【5】.
A.Since students will always need a human teacher
B.I think AI is a powerful assistant to my future classroom
C.The benefit AI brings is far beyond my own classroom.
D.Although human connection may never be able to be fully replaced by AI
E.As students need to learn how to use AI to better their academic performance
F.They must observe and get to know their students in order to individualize educational plan
G.This could be an opportunity for students everywhere to receive equal education
25、“WELCOME TO HELL, LADIES!” says Mr. Smith, the _________ of the adult ballet class. I force a smile as he presses down on my stiff back, attempting to be a little more _________.
When I was a little girl, I _________ elegantly dancing across the stage like the Swan Princess. With several reasons, my hopes of taking ballet lessons were killed. But every so often, usually while watching a brilliant performance of Swan Lake, those little _________ of unfulfilled desire would speak up and say that I should take lessons before it’s too late.
And here I am—more than 50 years—finally _________ for it.
I’m an absolute _________, but 30 years older than the rest of the participants in the adult class. We are practising “port de bras,” a ballet term for the _________ of the arms. I flutter (挥动) my arms, awakening my inner _________, “Your hands, they look like claws of a chicken,” Mr. Smith _________, “No one wants to look at that. It’s ugly.” He points his finger at various body parts while __________ giving feedback, “Head up, neck long, chest proud, stomach in, back straight, bottom tight.” Every time he looks at me, I instantly know that I’ve missed something. So I take note of every previous adjustment to gain his approval.
After a few sessions, I find myself looking forward to taking ballet classes with a mix of anxiety and excitement. Between classes, I __________ my posture in every window I pass. I’m __________. My hands are less claw-like and my posture a little more straight. And I constantly imagine I’m on stage, holding the audience entirely in my __________.
Learning ballet as an adult has been a much bigger __________ than I expected, but I’m glad that I took action and that ballet still __________ to me as it did when I was a little girl.
