A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.

In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon(象征).Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.

There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers(跟踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kinds are on the bus.

Kindergarten(幼儿园) is difficult time for some kids. It’s the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them---and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!

School buses are becoming more and more popular in Chian now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus. It’s said that there will be 3,000 yellow school buses on the road by the end of this year in Chongqing.

1.According to Dr. Frank, ______ school buses are safer for the students.

A. yellow          B. black      C. white     D. colorful

2.Children in Japan may easily ______ by taking the school bus.

A. save time      B. love their school     C. play games     D. do their homework

3.Chinese students will save a lot of time to ______ to school.

A. walk       B. take a taxi      C. ride a bike     D. take a school bus

4.This passage is mainly about ________.

A. school buses     B. school life     C. popular colors    D. students’ safety

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the correct time and is never late for anything.

An unpunctual man never does what he has to do at the right time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be got back. Time is more useful than material(物质) things. In fact, time is life itself. An unpunctual man is always wasting his most important things as well as others’. An unpunctual person is always saying unhapppily that he finds no time to answer letters or return calls. But the man who really has much to do is very careful of his time. He knows that he can not finish all his work unless he carefully does every piece of work.

Being unpunctual is the sign of disrespect(不尊重) towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the time when he should be there, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be thought as a great disrespect to the host and all the other guests.

Not like a punctual person, an unpunctual one can’t do his duty wonderfully, whether it is public or personal. Imagine how it would be if those who should do important tasks failed to be on time. A man who is known to be often unpunctual is never believed by his friends or fellow men.

1.The Chinese meaning of the word “punctual” in this passage is probably “______”

A. 听话的          B.守时的       C.守纪律的      D.能干的

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. An unpunctual person often has more time.

B. An unpunctual person has more work to do.

C. A punctual person often has a busy life.

D. A punctual person often does his work wonderfully.

3. When you are invited to dinner, you’d better arrive there ______.

A. in a hurry       B. after the host      C. at a decided time    D. before other guests

4.From the passage, we learn that an unpunctual man usually ______ in the end.

A. saves time for others              B. leaves his family and friends

C. gets his chances and knowledge     D. loses his time and good name

Rico is a dog who lives in Germany(德国). His owners trained him from a young age to find his toys. When they say the name of a certain toy, Rico can find it. In fact, he seems to know the names of 200 toys!

Some researchers in Germany wanted to test Rico. They put his toys in a room and then told him to go in the room and find a certain toy. Since nobody was in the room with Rico, he had no help from anyone finding the right toy. The researchers did this test forty times. Rico found the right toy thirty-seven times!

Then the researchers tried something else. They put seven of Rico’s toys in the room together with one new toy that Rico had never seen before. Then they told Rico to go into the room and get the new toy. This new toy had a name Rico had never heard before. Rico found the right toy seven out of ten times!

Researchers cannot really say that Rico knows words or language. However, these tests seem to show that Rico can think about what he hears and think about what he knows. In fact, Rico seems to think and remember things as well as a three-year-old child.

From these tests, animal researchers know one thing for sure. Rico has given them a lot to think about.

1.From the passage we know that Rico is good at ______.

A. catching toys     B. counting toys    C. finding toys    D. putting toys in order

2. At first researchers asked Rico to ______.

A. bring a certain toy out of a room       B. choose a toy that he liked best

C. name toys and put them away         D. put his toys into his room

3.Rico went into the room _______ times to find a new toy he did not know.

A. seven          B. thirty-seven      C. ten         D. forty

4. The best title for the passage is ________.

A. German dogs are the smartest         B. An unusual dog

C. How dogs use language              D. The best toys for Rico
