阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.

Mr. Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.

At once he heard a police whistle (口哨声), so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped. A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “you didn't stop at that crossing.”

“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP'，” answered Mr. Williams, “it just says ‘SLOW', and I did go slow.”

The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched (抓) his head and said, “Well, I'm in the wrong street！”

21．Mr. Williams was driving ________ one evening.

A. to a party B. to his office

Knowledge is power. But there is one thing that we must remember. A strong mind needs a strong body in order to make it useful.

There are lots of good exercises. They are helpful and healthy. Many of them may be taken indoors during rainy weather. Indoor exercises, however, are never as helpful as those taken outdoors in fresh air. It is because in fresh air more oxygen (氧气) is taken into our body and more wastes are given off. The air in the house does not remain fresh very long. But out of doors is usually fresh.

But what shall we play? There are a number of games such as football, basketball and races. Any game with plenty of movement is good. The best are those which are played out of doors.

Don't neglect (忽视) your body. It is of as much importance as your mind. Our country now needs men with strong minds, good judgement (判断力) and healthy bodies.

25. What does the writer want to tell us in the first paragraph?

A. We must keep healthy in order that our knowledge will be in full use.

B. We must remember knowledge is power.

C. We must not forget to make greater use of our knowledge.

D. We must keep healthy in order to make games more useful.

26. From the passage we know that when it is raining________.

A. we can't have any exercise B. we can only have a few exercises

C. we can still have a lot of exercises D. indoor exercises will do us no good

27. Why are the outdoor exercises always more helpful than those indoors?

A. We can take in more oxygen. B. More wastes can be given off.

C. It is easier to do outdoor exercises. D. Both A and B.

28. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. To gain knowledge is more important than to keep it.

B. To keep healthy is as important as to gain knowledge.

C. Nothing is so important as to keep healthy.

D. A strong mind has nothing to do with a strong body.

C

Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like expensive food?

Some people go to fast-food restaurant for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners (路边餐馆) for these reasons. In fact, many people in the states still go to diners today for the same reasons.

A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn't really a diner. It was only a food cart (手推车). People on the street walked up to the carts to buy food. These carts served late-night meals. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they didn't sit down, later people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.

Before long many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favourite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer cart on wheels.

Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1990s.They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booth (公用电话), and tables and chairs. People can have all three meals in a modern diner.

Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurant such as McDonald's and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.

Earthquake Safety Tips

On May 12, 2008, a big earthquake hit Wenchuan, Sichuan Province. Thousands of people died and many more were injured. Why are there earthquakes?

Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. The surface of the earth has many plate pieces (板块). These plates are always moving. When two plates move past each other, there is an earthquake. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. They often happen near the mountains, too.
