An experience last weekend showed me this is true.I work part-time in a supermarket across from a 第2j building for the elderly.These old people are our main customers,and it's easy to lose patience over their slowness.But last Sunday,one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson.This untidy man walked up to my register with a box of biscuits.He said he was out of cash,had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards.He asked if we could let him have the food on trust.He promised to repay me the next day. I couldn't help staring at him.I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way.I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul,all alone in the world.I told him that I was sorry,and the store rules didn't allow me to do so.I felt stupid and unkind saying this,but I valued my job. Just then,another man,standing behind the first,spoke up."If anything,"he looked more pitiable, “Charge it to me,”was all he said. What I had been feeling was pity.Pity is soft,safe and easy.Compassion,on the other hand,is caring in action.I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed,either.Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself.I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion. 24.The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits A.promised to obey the store rules B.forgot to take any money with him C.hoped to have the food first and pay later D.could not afford anything more expensive 25.Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?

A.Wealth is more important than anything eise.B.Helping others is easier said than done. C.Experience is better gained through practice.D.Obeying the rules meaas more than compassion. 0 A company testing driverless cars has received permission from the state of California to operate the vehicles without human drivers.The tests will be carried out by Cruise,the self-driving car company owned by General Motors. Cruise reported last week that it got a permit from the Califoria Department of Motor Vehicles to let the self-driving cars travel on their own.The company plans to have them operating in San Francisco by the end of this year.Cruise is still just testing its self-driving vehicles.But it plans to offer ride-sharing services in major cities across the United States in the future. 页共5页 Until now,testing has only been carved out with human backup drivers in all Cruise vehicles.Rules required the backup drivers to be inside.the cars and ready to take control of the vehicles if necessary. Cruise has completed enough testing to.feel that it is now ready to safely operate the cars without humans, said company spokesman Ray Wert.Wert said that Cruise would go neighborhood-by-neighborhood in San Francisco before spreading the driverless car to the whole city. The permission in California followed a similar decision in Arizona.Arizona state officials approved a request by Waymo,a company owned by Google's parent company Alphabet Inc.,to open its ride- sharing service to the public in vehicles without human drivers.The service was launched last week in the city of Phoenix.Progress toward driverless vehicles slowed after one such vehicle hit a passer-by during a test in Tempe,Arizona,in 2018.That vehicle was operated by Uber Technologies. Steven Shladover is a research engineer at the University of California,Berkeley.He has studied self- driving for 40 years.Shladover said that although Cruise and Waymo.program their vehicles to drive more conservatively than humans,both still,need to progress safely.He noted that Cruise will first use its yehicles in easier areas in San Francisco before sending them into compplex traffio.situations. 28.What has Cruise done until now? A.It has done driverless car testing in other states. B.It has helped other companies test their self-driving cars. C.It has completed some testing with human drivers. D.It has offered ride-sharing services using self-driving cars. 29.What caused the testing of self-driving cars to slow down? A.Taxi drivers'fear of losing their jobs. B.The high cost of doing it in big cities. C.An accident caused by a self-driving vehicle. D.The small number of companies taking part in it. 30..Which of the following does Steven Shladover agree with? A.Self-driving vehicles shouldn't go-without safety. B.Self-driving vehicles drive less carefully than humans. C.Self-driving vehicles can't get into complex traffic situations. D.Companies should program their vehicles to drive faster. 31.What can be the best title for the text? A.California Allows Company to Test Cars with No Drivers B.Two Companies'Self-Driving Tests Get Approved C.Self-Driving or Human-Driving,Which Should We Depend on? D.Cruise or Waymo,Which Is Leading the Self-Driving Technology? D My wife and I recently completed a day-long tour of the Great Wall with Jessie.In addition to being very knowledgeable about the history of the areas that we toured,she spoke excellent English and was able .to answer all of our questions.Her driver was very experienced and polite,and we really enjoyed being able 第3页 to have a customized tour that avoided the tourist traps and forced shopping that seem to be a part of the larger group tours. The attractions themselves were fantastic.I was.a little worried that the snowy weather:might impact our trip to the Great Wall,but everything went fine,and there weren't many people out at all that day.I suggest wearing strong shoes-the Great Wall is really a hike.And on snowy or rainy days,the surfaces are pretty slippery()!Seeing this area in winter was really unique,and the snow made for great pictures.Jessie kept us entertained with stories and facts about the construction of the Great Wall,and always pointed out great spots for taking pictures.Even though she's in fantastic shape,she cared about our level of fitness and often stopped to let us catch our breath. When we got back to our hotel,Jessie gave us a great.recommendation for dinner and some tips for our planned stops the next day.If I find myself in Beijing in the future,I will certainly be contacting Jessie for more tour opportunities,and I've already recommended her to some friends who are visiting the area later in the year.I can't say enough about how kind and knowledgeable she was,and she really gave us a great tour experience. 32.What can we infer about Jessie? A.She is a tour advisor. B.She is a tour guide. C.She is a foreign trayeler. D.She is a skilled driver. 33.When did the writer visit the Great Wall? A.In spring.. B.In summer. C.In autumn.
