Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from

his

trapped

car

yesterday

when

it

landed

upside

down

in

three

feet

of

water.

Mr.

Johnson took the only escape route --- through the boot(

行李箱

).

Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (

沟渠

) at Romney Marsin, Kent after

skidding

on

ice

and

hitting

a

bank.

the

water

began

to

come

in

only

slowly,

Mr.

Johnson

said.

couldn't

force

the

doors

because

they

were

jammed

against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water

would come flooding in.

Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the

attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and

boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said,

had

in

my

pocket

and

I

used

it

to

unscrew

the

back

seat

to

get

into

the

boot.

I

hammered

desperately

with

a

hammer

trying

to

make

someone

hear,

but

no

help

came.

It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the

sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work

on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by.

gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the

lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.

His

hands

and

arms

cut

and

bruised

(

擦伤

),

Mr.

Johnson

got

to

Beckett

Farm

nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer's wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates. Trembling in

a blanket, he said,

wheels were visible, police said last night. The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud

at the bottom of the ditch.

It’s

easy

to

think

of

the

selfless

reason

s

to

listen.

People

want

you

to

listen

to

them.

By

listening,

you

can

help

someone

with

a

problem,

or

help

them

come

up

with

new

ideas.

But

listening

also

has

selfish

benefits

that

make

it

worth

the

investment.

The biggest selfish benefit is that you le

arn more with your mouth closed. You’ll

learn more about other people, and often, about yourself, if you stop talking. Those

ideas are useful if you want to improve yourself.

Listening

also

helps

you

think.

When

you’re

truly

listening,

not

just

waiting

for

your turn to speak, you can chew over your ideas more. You can mull on points of the

conversation

longer.

In

the

end,

you’ll

appear

a

lot

wiser

if

you

explain

a

fully-digested point of view, than if you just speak out the first response that comes

to mind.

Building

the

listening

habit

also

makes

better

friends

than

trying

to

be

an

impressive conversationalist. People like the guy who listens more than the guy with

the best jokes. Be interested, rather than interesting.

If the person you’re talking

with doesn’t feel too chatty, bait

(

启发

) them with a

comment.

Throw

something

at

them

which

will

make

it

easy

for

them

to

talk.

A

better

strategy

to

listen

is

to

master

the

short

anecdote.

This

is

a

2-3

sentence

comment

on

something

that

the

other

person

has

said.

If

they

are

telling

a

long

explanation

of

their

work

as

an

accountant,

you

could

comment

on

someone

you

know that does accounting or something you know about accounting.

24. The following are talked about EXCEPT ______.

A. the ways of being a good listener

B. the benefits of building the listening habit

C. the ways of being a good speaker

D. the strategies to inspire others to speak

25.

According

to

the

passage,

which

kind

of

person

is

most

probably

popular

with

people?

A. The one who is good at telling jokes.

B. The one who has no speaking ability.

C. The one who is good at public speaking.

D. The one who is good at listening to others.

26.

The underlined phrase “mull on”

in the third paragraph means ______.

A. think over

B. agree with

C. disagree with

D. put forward

C

New York’s long awaited bike share program, which arranged the distribution of

10,000

bicycles

along

some

of

the

city’s

busiest

street,

will

be

sponsored

by

Citi

financial group, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Monday.

Citi Bike will be the largest public bike share system in the US, with bikes placed

in

600

stations

in

Manhattan

and

Brooklyn.

The

program

will

be

operated

by

Alta

bicycle share, which runs similar projects in Washington D.C. and Boston.

“The idea behind bike share is simple: give people one more way to get around

the

town,” Bloomberg said in a restaurant. “The new Citi Bikes will be an affordable

transportation

network

that

will

help

New

Yorkers

get

where

they’re

going

faster.

When the walk seems a little far, New Yorkers can choose to skip the hike, and take a

bike.”

The

program

was

announced

in

September

2011,

and

the

department

of

transport

has

spent

the

last

eight

months

planning

locations

for

the

stations.

Full

details

on

the

locations

have

not

been

released

yet,

but

they

will

include

Times

Square, Penn Station and close to Central Park.

Annual membership of the program will cost $$95, which entitles (

授权

) users to

free

journeys

up

to

45

minutes.

For

those

unwi

lling

to

commit

to

a

year’s

cycling,

seven-day subscriptions are available for $$25 or 24-hour access for $$9.95, with the

first

30

minutes

of

any

journey

free.

The

official

website

for

the

program

–

–

says

the

pricing

strategy

is

likely

to

ensure

that

riders

keep

their

trips short. Although short journeys are free, anyone wanting to take a bike for the

day will face very high charges. People who do not sign up to an annual membership

–

tourists, for example, would pay $$49 for a three-hour ride, plus the $$9.95 24-hour

access fee, making a total of $$59.

The department of transport said the bikes and stations, which will begin to be

fixed

from

“late

July”,

will

be

the

same

as

in

London,

Montreal

and

Minneapolis;

however, in one sense Bloomberg will be hoping the New York program differs from

that

of

London.

While

the

London

program

has

ended

up

losing

money

since

it

launched in 2010, the mayor said New York City would “split system profits with the

operator”, creating a potential new income progr

am.

27

. According to the passage, the main purpose of setting up New York’s bike share

system is to ________.

A. make profits from the bike users

B. discourage people from going hiking

C. reduce people’s expenses on transportation

D. help people travel around the city more easily

28. According to the passage, which of the following locations is NOT available for the

Citi Bike service?

A. Central Park

B. Time Square

C. Brooklyn Botanic Garden

D. Penn Station

29. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

A. It is wise of people to use the bikes for short trips.

B. Anyone can use the bike free of charge for 45 minutes.

C. Most people are unwilling to pay for the annual membership.
