Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient.
Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate (年死亡率) from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan.
To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive, learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!
第51题：The word “ convenient “ in the passage means ________.
[A] handy, easy to do
[B] that can be changed
[C] fond of drinking and merry-making
[D] carriages or other trucks
Concrete
Another thing to remember in connection with concrete is that you are not allowed very much leeway for errors in either measurements or location. Once you have a solid mass of concrete set in place, it is going to stay there. You have a difficult job ahead of you if you try to remedy a mistake. Make very sure, before you fill the form, that everything is where and how you want it.
There are numerous rules regarding the proper mixing handing, and finishing of concrete, but the essential one concerns the amount of water to use. The less water in the mix, the less the finished job will shrink. The less water used, the harder and more enduring the job after it has set.
The amateur concrete worker is plagued with two desires. One is to use enough Water to have the concrete nice and soft and easy to push around. You have been warned against that. The second is to take off the wooden forms too early, to see what the job looks like. That is really fatal. If the forms are stripped off too soon, while the concrete is still green, two things are likely to happen—you are almost sure to break off corners or edges, and you are likely to cause a major crack or defect in the body of the work. An excellent rule is to wait until you are sure the concrete is properly' hardened, and then wait another day before removing the forms.
The best title for this selection would be:________.
A．Concrete and Its Uses
B．Rules for Working with Concrete
C．Concrete, the Homeowner's Joy
D．Concrete, a Test of Character

"How was your weekend？"
This question comes up at workplaces all over the United States every Monday morning as people greet each other. It is another way of saying, "How did you spend your leisure time？"
In the Unites States the way people spend their leisure time is an important part of their identity. Perhaps everybody does nearly the same thing all day in the office or the factory, but leisure time is what makes people distinct and reveals who they are.
For many people, leisure time means going somewhere -- to a museum, a concert, a restaurant, or a baseball game. Or it means doing something such as playing volleyball, backpacking, swimming, singing in a chorus (合唱), or playing in a park with their children. For other people, free time means staying home with wonderful sources of entertainment, such as VCR, stereo or cable TV with dozens of channels. Others pursue creative activities such as cooking, gardening, and home improvement. The latest stay-at, home activity is "surfing (冲浪) the net" -- that is, looking for information and entertainment on the Internet.
In the United States, leisure time is big business. Enormous amounts of money are spent by competing enterprises that make and sell the goods and services that people use in their free time. In fact, shopping itself is an important leisure time activity. Spending a day at a giant mall has become, for some people, as interesting as spending the day at museum or amusement park.
People in the United States are ultimately not much different from others in what they do in their leisure time. The real difference may lie in the energy, time, money, and sheer enthusiasm that they devote to it.
Why do Americans often greet each other by asking "How did you spend your leisure time？"
A．Because they are interested in the different pastime activities.
B．Because leisure time is what makes people different from each other.
C．Because they are bored with the job they have done for the whole week.
D．Because everybody does the same thing all day long.
Shopping and Health
Many people believe that shopping (shop) is a bad habit. However, a recent Time magazine suggests that this 41______ (believe) might be wrong. For some people, shopping may help them live longer.
An extensive study of old people has 42______ (find) that regular shoppers live longer than less frequent shoppers. Shopping 43______ (give) people the chance to talk with other people and to get exercise. If shoppers buy fresh food 44______ (day), then they may have a 45______ (health) diet. Shopping makes people move from one place to another and make a certain 46______ (decide). These activities help them stay mentally and physically fit.
Even though people shop for practical 47______ (reason), shopping is also good for their 48______ (emotion) health. And compared with other types of physical 49______ (activity), shopping is easy to do. Unlike going to a fitness center or 50______ (play) sports, people can shop anywhere. As a result, they can do it more regularly.
Question 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.
Scientists can learn about man by studying animals, such as mice, rats and monkeys. The scientists in a laboratory areexperimenting on mice and they are studying the relationship between diet and health.
In this experiment, the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice can eat and theirhealth. The mice are in three groups. All these groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that eachgroup is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second two cups, and the third threecups.
After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group arethinner than normal mice but they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using theequipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years, while most of the mice in this groupare still alive after three years.
The second group of mice is of normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinnermice. But they are only living about two years.
The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating orsleeping. They are not active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought —about a year and a half, but they arenot healthy. The are sick more often than the other two groups.
24. The first group is the thinnest mainly because__________
A.they run and play all day long
B.they eat only one cup of food a day
C.they live longer than the other groups
D.they are bored with the kind of food in the cup
How long do normal mice live according to the passage？A.about one year

听力原文： My first semester of college was the worst I've been through. I had made plans during the summer to share an apartment with two of my close friends from high school. But before we moved in，problems started developing.
One of the two girls I was to share an apartment with was going to work instead of going to college。 However，a week before we were to move in，she found out that she didn't get the job. She is forced to live at home and look for work. The rest two of us lasted for a month and then agreed that we couldn't make it with the higher monthly rent payments. I started looking around.
I found another apartment and the rent wasn't bad. The place was noisy，but it was the best I could afford for the time. However，one day when I returned，I saw smoke coming from the back of the house. The cottage had caught fire，and my room was a burned mess。I was once more out of a place to stay.
I finally gave up looking around and moved home. I had to drive forty miles to school every day，so I almost spent as much on gas as I would have on lodging. I was very bored I almost lost the will to study. It had been really a bad semester!
