21、Urban Transportation in Canada

Public transportation & Transit passes

All cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more forms of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must buy a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.

Transportation for people with disabilities

Public transportation often has features to help people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.

Manners on public transportation

When taking public transportation, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of behaviors in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:

◆Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.

◆If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you.

◆Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself.

◆Have your proof of payment within easy reach in case you are asked to show it.

【1】What is the advantage of using transit passes over buying tickets?

A．More use of transport.

B．Longer service hours.

C．Lower costs.

D．Safer trips.

【2】How does the transportation system help people with disabilities?

A．By limiting their mobility on city buses.

B．By running special transport services.

C．By offering fewer transportation options.

D．By providing free rides in towns and cities.

【3】What is the main purpose of the text?

A．To show the author's attitude towards urban transportation in Canada.

C．To call on people to take public transportation on a regular basis.

D．To introduce some basic information about urban transportation in Canada.

22、   As people try to keep social engagement during self-isolation, citizen science offers a unique opportunity.

Defined as "public participation and collaboration in scientific research", citizen science allows people to use technology to unite towards a common goal —from the comfort of their homes. And it is now offering a chance to contribute to research on the coronavirus pandemic.

With so many of us staying home, this could help build a sense of community where we may otherwise feel helpless, or struggle with isolation.

Anyone is welcome to contribute. You don't need expertise, just time and interest. Projects exist in many forms, catering to people of diverse ages, backgrounds and circumstances. Many projects offer resources and guides to help you get started, and opportunities to collaborate via online discussion forums.

Scientists worldwide are racing to find effective treatments and vaccines to halt the coronavirus pandemic. As a citizen scientist, you can join the effort to help tackle COVID-19, and other infectious diseases.

Foldit is an online game that challenges players to fold proteins to better understand their structure and function. The Foldit team is now challenging citizen scientists to design antiviral proteins that can bind with the coronavirus.

The highest scoring designs will be manufactured and tested in real life. In this way, Foldit offers a creative outlet that could eventually contribute to a future vaccine for the virus.

Another similar project is Folding@home. This is a distributed computing project that, rather than using you to find proteins, uses your computer's processing power to run calculations in the background. Your computer becomes one of thousands running calculations, all working together.

【1】Where does a citizen scientist work?

A.In the office. B.At research center.

C.In the factory. D.At home.

【2】Who can be a citizen scientist?

A.Anyone who has time and interest. B.The expert who is interested.

C.People who are well educated. D.Doctors who are experienced.

【3】How can a citizen scientist join in the effort to help deal with the COVID-19 and infectious diseases?

A.He can play Foldit an online game and get the highest scores.

B.He can do experiments about COVID-19.

C.He can design a new game about COVID-19.

D.He can help build a sense of community.

【4】What is true about Folding@home?

A.It is the same project as Foldit.

B.It is a computer project using you to run calculations by computer.

C.It is a project using you to find proteins.

D.It is done by experts.

23、An aspirin a day keeps the doctor away. Aspirin has long been praised as a wonder drug and has been in your family since you can remember. Not only does it cure pain, it also lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke. But taking the pills daily may not work for everyone.

Although taking an occasional aspirin or two is safe for most adults to use for headaches，body aches or fever, daily use of aspirin can have serious side effects. Up to 60 per cent of us，both healthy people and those being treated for all types of heart disease may have some level of resistance to aspirin’s benefits.

Aspirin keeps platelets(血小板) from sticking, lowering the risk of clotting(结块)．People who are aspirin­resistant still get pain relief but not the full blood­thinning effects.

How do you know whether you’re resistant？New blood tests can help your doctor decide whether to give you a different medicine, especially if you’re at risk or are being treated for heart disease. The tests aren’t yet widely available, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

People taking aspirin daily should limit the amount of alcohol they drink because of its additional blood­thinning effects and potential to upset your stomach. Thus you should not have more than one drink if you’re a woman or two drinks a day if you’re a man. Does daily aspirin treatment differ between men and women？Recent studies have focused on the effects of aspirin in women，finding that its effects differ between the sexes, and for women, between age groups.

All in all, aspirin is still an effective, affordable and simple option for many people at risk of heart attack and stroke. Though it is readily available, always check with your doctor before starting daily aspirin treatment.

【1】Aspirin has got the reputation of a wonder drug because ______.

A. an aspirin a day keeps the doctor away

B. it can make people feel less painful

C. it helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes

D. it doesn’t have any serious side effects

【2】Which of the following statements about aspirin is TRUE?

A. Aspirin does have blood­thinning effects.

B. If you are resistant to aspirin, you won’t feel pain.

C. People taking aspirin won't suffer from heart attacks.

D. 60 per cent of people couldn't benefit from aspirin.

【3】What do we know about the blood tests mentioned in the fourth paragraph?

A. The new examination doesn’t hurt at all.

B. The tests only help aspirin­resistant people.

C. Doctors do the tests to test new medicines.

D. Only some people have ever taken the tests.

【4】We can infer from the passage that ______.

A. drinking alcohol will make people feel uncomfortable

B. drinking alcohol could influence the function of aspirin

C. alcohol has much greater effects than aspirin on blood­thinning

D. people should not drink any alcohol while taking aspirin daily

【5】What does the writer think of taking aspirin daily?

A. People should be careful to make this decision.

B. This treatment is effective, affordable and simple.

C. It could be used to cure heart attack and stroke.

D. Old women should not start this kind of treatment.

24、Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony(和谐) in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.

However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.

In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘Dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.

What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.

The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets -- to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.

【1】The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A．early

B．sweetly

C．quickly

D．smoothly

【2】Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.

A．they are cold to each other

B．they look away from each other

C．they misunderstand each other’s signals

D．they are introduced at an early age

【3】It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ______.

A．have common interests

B．are less different than was thought

C．have a common body language

D．are less intelligent than was expected

【4】What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?

A．We should learn to live in harmony.

B．We should know more about animals.

C．We should live in peace with animals.

D．We should learn more body languages.

25、Success in 18 minutes

I believe that routines are the ________ to success — whether in career, in fitness goals, or in your relationships. Routines provide us with an opportunity to reach our goals and ensure that we are taking steps in the right ________. In my view, ________ things like exercise routines, we must also include routines for ________ — a time ________ to planning and reflecting on what we’re doing and where we’re going.

In his book “18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done”, Peter Bregman outlines an 18-minute daily routine that will help us to reflect on where we are going, and to ________ that we remain on the right path throughout the day. Here, I will outline this routine, how to do it, and why it’s important. This routine is flexible, so take the parts that are ________ to you and make it your own.

 The routine Morning — 5 minutes

Taking 5 minutes in the morning to plan your day is ________ important. Bregman ________ sitting down with your to-do list and figuring out what you can do that will make today highly ________. Plan what you are going to do today. These 5 minutes in the morning can look like anything. The point is to take some time to reflect on the day ahead and plan your direction.

 Each hour — 1 minute × 8

Set an alarm for each hour. When your alarm goes off, take one minute to reflect. Take a deep breath. Reflect on the last hour — did you do what you wanted to get done? Did you ________ what you were doing? Then make a plan for what you are going to do for the next hour.

 Evening — 5 minutes

Take 5 minutes at the end of your work day to reflect on how the day went. Bregman suggests asking yourself the following questions:

One: How did the day go? What success did I experience? What challenges did I endure? Is there any better way to ________ them?

Two: What did I learn today? What do I plan to do — differently or the same — tomorrow?

Three: Did I interact with others? Is there anyone I need to thank, or ask a question, or   ________ thoughts with?

Again, the point is to reflect and ensure you’re on the right path, as well as setting you up for a productive day tomorrow.

Taking time to plan and reflect on your days is important. A simple, 18-minute routine is all you need to achieve this. ________ this process is simple and quick, it has powerful results. “The moments add up to days, the days add up to years, and the years add up to your life. You’ll know you’re getting the right things done. It all starts with your one thing.” ________, don’t hesitate. Start your reflection routine from today!

26、The summer holiday had come to an end before I knew it. Like any other kid, I came to a new school with a suitcase. There were six of us living in a small room about fifteen square meters. Luckily, everything went on well in the first three weeks.

A week ago, one of my roommates brought in a very large suitcase and placed it under her bed, but days later, she found something wrong with her suitcase. As we live on the ground floor, her case soon got wet. She took it out and after drying it up, she just put it on her desk because she had no other choices. I happened to be opposite her desk and her suitcase was so large that it not only occupied the whole of her desk but half of mine as well. I was very much annoyed, so I angrily pushed it forward without first talking to her about it. I pushed a bit too hard and the case fell off her desk, messing up everything it contained. On seeing this, she flew into a temper and angrily shouted at me. The quarrel started and lasted about two hours.

When I calmed down days later, I thought over the quarrel and began to see something. I should have talked to her about it first and then worked with her to find a solution to the problem. Living in a room with limited space, we should learn to get on well with one another.
