A
I’ve been in the taxicab business for thirty-five years, and I know there is a lot about it that is not so good. Taxicab drivers have to be tough fellows to be abl e to work in New York. You’ve got to fight the New York traffic eight hours a day these days, so people get the wrong impression that they are bad.
Actually, taxi drivers are just like other people. Most of them will behave as honest fellows. You read in the papers almost every week that a taxi driver turns in money or jewels that people leave in their cabs. If they weren’t honest, you wouldn’t be reading those stories in the papers.
One time in Brooklyn, I found a diamond ring in my cab. I remembered helping a lady with a lot of packages that day, so I went back to where I had dropped her. It took me almost two days to trace her down in order to return her ring to her. I didn’t get as much as “thank you”. Still I felt good because I had done what was right. I think I felt better than she did.
I was born and raised in Ireland and lived there until I was nineteen years old. Then I came to this country where I had a family and bought my own cab. Life hasn’t been too easy at times, but my wife takes care of our money and we have a good bit put away for a rainy day.
When I started driving a cab, Park Avenue was mostly a bunch of coal yards. Hoofer’s Brewery was right next to where the Waldorf-Astoria is now. I did pretty well, even in those days. In all my years of driving a taxicab, I have never had any trouble with the public, not even with drunks.
I believe honesty is one of the greatest gifts. I know they call it a lot of fancy names these days, like integrity (正直), etc. But it doesn’t make any difference what they call it; it’s still what makes a man a good citizen. This is my code, and I try to live by.
21. Why do people think taxicab drivers are bad according to the passage?
A. They have been cheated by taxicab drivers before.
B. Taxicab drivers are dishonest.
C. Most taxicab drivers are tough fellows.
D. Some taxicab drivers did not return their lost properties.
22. How did the author return the diamond ring to the lady?
A. By giving her a call and visiting her.
B. By sending her a letter asking her to claim the ring in person.
C. By advertising in the papers.
D. By going back to where she got off and traced her down for almost 2 days.
23. The underlined phrase “a rainy day” in paragraph 4 refer s to ______.
A. a day when it rains
B. a time when a family has financial problems
C. a day when the author can’t drive a taxi
D. a time when the author has trouble with drunks
24. How does the author feel as a taxicab driver?
A. Proud and satisfied.
B. Annoyed and stressful.
C. Disappointed and discouraged.
D. Unwilling and regretful.
B
Working women make up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, and 51 percent of professional workers, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and accountants, are female. While climbing the career ladder can be rewarding, it often comes with one big downside: weight gain!
New research published this week in the International Journal of Obesity shows that working women are more likely to be overweight, and the more you work, the more pounds you’re likely to pile on. Like many women, I work... a lot! As a self-employed nutrition communications specialist, I sit at my desk, in front of a computer, for hours on end. Sitting alone is one of the worst things you
can do for your health, and it’s directly linked to being overweight and increased fatness, so the fact that women in the workforce gain weight isn’t that surprising. If yo u work, you have less time to move around. Obesity（肥胖症）researchers are revealing many other ways that employment is harmful to your diet and waistline.
In the International Journal of Obesity study, some 9,276 Australian women aged 45-50 had their body weight and employment status monitored for two years. Results? Those who worked more than 35 hours were likely to gain weight compared to those who worked fewer hours or were out of the workforce. What’s more, the more hours a woman worked in a week, the more weight she gained.
The authors of the Australian study attribute weight gain among working women to inactivity, lack of time for food preparation, more use of prepared foods, high levels of stress, lack of sleep and consuming more alcohol. I’ll also add in travel, meals eaten out and working at night as other factors that I can find to make balancing work with a healthy diet a challenge.
25. The text above is probably taken from ______.
A. a sports report
B. a fashion journal
C. a health and fitness magazine
D. an advertisement post
26. A woman who works as an accountant is more likely to ______.
A. gain more weight
B. have more time to move around
C. work a full time job
D. keep a balanced diet
27. Which is NOT the cause of working women weight gaining according to the passage？
A. Lacking time for food preparation.
B. Using more prepared food.
C. Consuming too much alcohol.
D. Taking part in more activities.
28. What can be a suitable title for the test?
A. Less activity leads to fat.
B. Ways of gaining weight.
C. Effects of weight gaining.
D. Working women more likely pile on pounds.
C
There’s a “culture of walking and texting” on the Utah Valley University campus, according to conversations with students, but that’s not the main rea son Matt Bambrough, the creative director at UVU, came up with an idea to paint a “texting lane” on a staircase leading up to the Wellness Center.
According to Bambrough, it’s first and foremost a design project—the texting lane was a tongue-in-cheek（戏谑）reference to the college-wide epidemic（流行）of kids walking around with their faces buried in their iPhones.
“You have 18–24-year-olds walking down the hall with smart phones. Y ou’re almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it’s something we’re dealing with in this day and age,” Bambrough said. “But preventing collisions isn’t the reason we did it—we did it to arouse the students’ attention. It’s meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy.”
Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance.
Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren’t human-on-human; rather, it’s generally human-on-inanimate-object. “They walk into barriers—chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings,” Poffenberger said, “I’m sure they’re fairly embarrassed.”
29. What do we learn about the “texting lane” from the text?
A. It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.
B. It is used to encourage the campus culture.
C. It is painted on a staircase leading to everywhere.
D. It is popular with students in universities.
30. According to Bambrough, ______.
A. the “texting lane” is to attract students’ attention
B. we don’t have to face the problem i n this age
C. what they did is to prevent the collisions
D. students enjoy looking at each other
31. How do students feel about texting and walking?
A. They are worried.
B. They are annoyed.
C. They are puzzled.
D. They are surprised.
32. What would most students run into from what Robbie said?
A. Students in the same direction.
B. Teachers opposite to them.
C. Barriers on campus.
D. Grass on campus.

36 What we consider polite at home isn’t always accepted outside our borders. Don’t be regarded rude or disrespectful on your travels.
