21、Getting into a new place to live is a very exciting time. 【1】 Having a place to call your own gives you a great feeling of independence. The question that arises when looking for an apartment or home to live in is, “Is it better to rent or lease.” Both options have advantages and disadvantages. 【2】
Renting is a simple process that usually does not require the person to stay in that space for a specific length of time. In California, and in most states, this is called month-to-month rental agreement. 【3】 The property owner is also likely to ask for a security or cleaning deposit, or both. The advantage of a month-to-month rental is that the renter can get out of the agreement by simply giving the owner one-month notice to vacate (搬离). 【4】 If the owner asks the renter to leave, all he or she has to do is to ask the renter to vacate in 30 days.
A lease works a bit differently. It’s usually signed for one year, so both the renter and the landlord agree to a pre-determined length of time the renter will occupy the unit. 【5】 After that, it works much like renting. There are consequences on the part of both parties if the lease is terminated (终止) early though, so it is better to wait your lease out than to terminate it early.
A.The same applies to the owner.
B.This is especially true if the person is a first-time renter.
C.More information about renting and lease can be easily found on internet.
D.The best way to make this decision is to base it on your own personal situation.
E.The new renter has to ensure the flat is in good condition when the time is due.
F.A landlord will generally require the new renter to pay two months of rent in advance.
G.The renter signs a contract agreeing not to move ot of the home for the one-year period.
22、 Ocean Park Hong Kong is one of Hong Kong’s great visitor attractions. 【1】 It is a public service, and construction was funded by donations by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. So the park is much more suited to education and wildlife conservation research, and they take better care of the animals. These are the things special and excellent that really standout from similar parks. For the size and the quality, you will find the prices are lower.
【2】 So try to be there before the park open sat 10 and definitely avoid the busy holidays and weekends. Try to purchase your tickets directly online or through agents before you go.
For public transport, we recommend taking the subway to Ocean Park Station. The transfer station for the Tsuen Wan Line (through Tsim Sha Tsui) and the Island Line (from Central Station) is Admiralty Station. Simply go 1 stop in about 20 minutes. 【3】
Hong Kong is fairly unique in the world because you can purchase a card that you can swipe (刷卡) to pay for subway and bus fares. 【4】 The card allows people to travel with outstanding inline to buy tickets. Card holders simply swipe their cards and their fares are deducted (扣除) electronically. You can buy these at the subway station ticket windows and then use them for more convenience to pay for things in the park. No ID is required to buy one. 【5】
A.Go there when it isn’t busy.
B.Large crowds of visitors arrive later in the morning.
C.It’s a good place where you can do research into rare animals.
D.Unlike other theme parks, this park isn’t for a profit business.
E.However, taxis from Central are relatively quick and inexpensive.
F.And you can add money as you wish and return the card to a station window for some money back.
G.It can also be used to pay for many other things such as purchases at supermarkets, convenience stores and restaurants.
23、 Some people are so rude!
Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.
My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”
In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’ phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.
The anthropologist(人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.
【1】Why didn’t the author listen to his father’s voice mail messages?
A.He thought voice mail would waste his time.
B.He thought voice mail was an impolite way of trying to connect.
C.He thought voice mail was an important way of communication.
D.He thought his father left him too many voice mails.
【2】What seems to be the author’s attitude toward texts?
A.Favorable. B.Doubtful.
C.Reserved. D.Disapproving.
【3】What does the author suggest modern people do in communication?
A.Learn from the old generation.
B.Ask once-acceptable questions.
C.Respond with a thank-you email.
D.Consider their audience.
24、 Do you ever feel like you read too slowly? Is it hard to finish a book because you can’t focus? 【1】Whatever the case may be, if you want to be a high-efficient reader, you’ll need to learn how to focus and stick with the material. Here is my advice.
【2】 If you have trouble sitting still and concentrating on what you’re reading, make notes or write down a brief outline. Writing things down can be especially helpful if you find yourself reading the same few sentences over and over again without being able to continue. 【3】 You can also move your fingers along with the text to help keep your place in the book and guide you along.
Take short effective breaks. 【4】. Move around, get a snack, watch a little television or whatever helps you mentally pause. Set a time limit in advance and limit the number of rest breaks you take during a given period of time. Doing something physical can re-energize you and make it easier to return to reading.
Practice concentrating on the reading materials. In order to truly focus on concentrating, you need to do it a little every day. Find a time of day that works best for you to read and try to read a little each day at that time. Soon, it will become a habit. After a few days, you should notice some small improvements in your reading. Remember, don’t try to memorize every single detail when you’re reading. 【5】
A.Engage with what you’re reading.
B.Write down any questions you may come across.
C.Adjust your speed based on the information you’re reading.
D.That is too challenging, which will make it difficult to continue.
E.This is your chance to think about something other than what you’re reading.
F.Or maybe you’d like to get the important information faster while also speed reading.
G.Meanwhile, reading aloud or whispering contributes to your greater attention to your book.

26、 Thirteen people were killed and two more remain missing after a bus broke through a guardrail and plunged into Yangtze River on Oct 28.
Footage from the vehicle's data recorder released shows a female passenger—identified by authorities as Liu,48—arguing with the driver surnamed Ran, at the time of the accident.
began to hit him with her cell phone, causing Ran to lose control of the vehicle. The bus crossed into the wrong lane before colliding with an oncoming vehicle and hitting the guardrail.
Netizens and media commentators have called for improved safety measures on public transport, as well as greater awareness of the rules among passengers. Although signs and audio announcements warn passengers not to distract bus drivers, particularly when the vehicle is moving, not everyone follows the rules. Before the Chongqing tragedy, similar cases had come to light, including some in which passengers had grabbed the wheel.
