Every day in China, about 200 million children go to school. Many of them take school buses. What should we do to keep these students safe on the road?

On April 5, the State Council (國務院) published new rules about school bus safety. These new rules are much stricter than the old ones.

Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students attend nearby schools or boarding (寄宿的) schools to reduce traffic risks. Also, local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.

From now on, school buses have a speed limit of 80km per hour on highways and 60km per hour on normal roads. While on the road, other cars must let school buses go first.The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超載的).  

There are many other rules as well. A school bus must have more than seven seats. On each bus, there must be at least one adult to keep an eye on the kids. Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (滅火器), a first aid kit (急救箱) and a GPS.

Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China. To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen the rules for school buses.

The most serious accident happened in November in Gansu, when a nine-seat minibus crashed. There were 62 children inside, and 21 of them died.

1.Under the new rules, which of the following is NOT true?

A. School buses must not be overloaded.

B. School buses must drive 80 km/h or less on normal roads.

C. School buses can go first when there are other cars.

D. local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.

2.The phrase “keep an eye on” in Paragraph 6 has a similar meaning to “_______”.

   A. look after            B. play with            C. look for     D. chat with

3.According to the new rule, a school bus must have the following EXCEPT ______.

A. a GPS

B. more than seven seats

C. a parent of one of the students

D. a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit

4.The government made new rules for school buses because _______.

A. 21 students died in school bus accidents last year

B. the government encourages all students to take school buses

C. 200 million children in China go to school by bus every day

If you are writing or studying, it makes much difference where the light comes from. People use  36  and pens every day. They have to be very careful about the  37  of the light because the light shines on their work.
Every  38  gets its light either from daylight  39  the window or from the lamps,   40  no matter what kind of light it is, the way it shines is very important to the eyes.
Take a book and sit with your  41  towards the window, and try to read. Your shadow(影子) falls all over the page and makes it  42  for your eyes as if you were in a  43  room. Now turn around and face the window. The page is in shadow again,  44  the bright light is in your eyes.Try sitting with your  45  side towards the window. This is very good for reading, but if you were writing, the shadow  46  fall across the page and trouble you  47 .There is another way – sit  48  your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect for  49   as well.
Whatever kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is  50  the same. So you see different ways to sit make much difference in writing or studying.

When I was a girl of 10, I joined the school cross-country team and practiced twice a week, on the 1,8-km course I'd never really run before and I thought the course would be easy. It was a real shock I ran out of breathe(喘氣)within the first few minutes. I never realized how tiring running could be but I didn’t t think about give up.
Over time,I did get a little bit faster. However, I was really slow. In races, I would finish close to last. I'd always have to stop more than once, especially in the longer races, which were 2. 5 to 2. 8 km. After every race, I'd go home and cry. But 1 still didn't stop running, holding onto that picture of crossing the finishingline and finally doing well.  
Then one of my friends joined the team, too. She could run easily and even came in the 18th in a big race! I felt so slow and my confidence(自信) was lower than ever. I became so nervous when I thought of the races that I wanted to give up badly.
Still. I refund to. Finally. 1 realized that the reason I was to nervous was that I was always worried that I wasn't ready for them. So a few weeks before the next 2. 8-km race. I practiced running almost 3 km every day. which helped me improve my pace(步伐).
When the time came for the big race, all that practicing really paid off. I stopped only once and my pace was so much better.
I realized that I’d finally gotten happiness with running. But the funny thing was. It didn't come from doing better, Instead, it came from the fact that I hid tried harder and never given up.
【小題1】 Before she took the 1.8-km course, the writer________.

A．knew a lot about itB．wanted to be a great runner
C．practiced running every day D．never thought running so tired
【小題2】The writer was nervous about the race because she_______.
A．had to stop to drink waterB．was worried she wasn’t ready
C．run slower than anyone else D．could find no coach to help her
【小題3】The underlined phrase "paid off" probably mean “______”.
A．brought good results B．coat a lot C．saved much time D．came to fail
【小題4】It can be inferred(推斷) from the passage that the writer______.
A．got angry with her friendB．wasn't pleased with herself
C．was a person with a strong mind D．had no Interest In running
