at 10，I would dial up an episode of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”

Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters(上班族)and celebrated as a London landmark，was mainly built by a female workforce.
There are no written or photographic records of the women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went
all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence，kept alive by the tourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies Bridge.
During the Second World War，with the majority of the active male .labor force away at the front，women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944，25,000 women were working in the construction industry，carrying out back一breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work
on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.
September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical entitled "the Singing Bridge"，which runs at Somerset House from 9 to 25 September. In late September，the "Light up the Ladies Bridg e" event saw the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections(投影)of female construction workers working in construction during World War II.
Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.
8. Why do few people know about the builders of Waterloo Bridge?
A. Female workers received little attention.
B. The records of their work have been lost.
C. The construction took place long ago.
D. Few people know about the bridge.
9. Why did London women do the construction work?
A.It was a tradition in London.
B. They wanted to get a steady job.
C. The company offered them better pay.
D. Most men had gone to the battlefield.
10. W hat’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A.The influence of the bridge on art.
B. A musician’s contribution to the bridge.
C. The events in honor of the bridge builders.
D. Women’s work during the Second World War.
11 .Which can be the best title for the text?
A.Female Workers on the Rise
B. A Hidden Treasure in London
C. A New London Landmark
D. The Story behind the Ladies Bridge

While the world is still debating the safety of self-driving cars，Dubai is preparing to launch an autonomous flying taxi. Starting in July the world' s first passenger drone(无人机)， the EHang 184，will be available to passengers.
The shuttle，released in Las Vegas in January 2016，weighs 440 pounds and can
fly at heights of up to 11,500 feet. The egg一shaped vehicle has room for a single passenger weighing up to 220 pounds and a small suitcase. Though the flying taxi can reach speeds of up to 100 mph，it will typically operate at about 62 mph. Passengers can ask for the flying taxi to pick them up from appointed zones using
a smartphone app. Passengers strap into the seat，select a destination on the
touchscreen，and enjoy the flight. To ensure the pa ssenger’s safety，all flights
are monitored remotely by a control room on the ground.
In the unlikely event that any of the components malfunction or disconnect，
the drone will make an emergency landing to ensure the customer’s safety. It’s
also prog rammed to ensure its route won’t a ffect that of another drone. While
having no control over the remotely piloted vehicle may appear scary，the producer，
China-based EHang, says，"It is the safest，smartest and eco一friendly low altitude
autonomous flying vehic le.”Any drawback? The EHang 184 has a battery life of 30
minutes and a flight range of just 31 miles. Also unknown is the cost of each ride. Though the flying taxi seems advanced，it is not the first driverless
tr ansportation option available to Dubai’s residents. As part of its goal to have
25% of public transportation be automated by 2030，the authorities have built the
world’s longest driverless metro and introduced self-navigating shuttles.
Officials recently also partnered with a US company to build supersonic speed gods
to carry passengers between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
12. What can we learn about the flying taxi?
A.A passenger can call for a flying taxi online.
B .It can carry a weight of 220 pounds at most.
C. A passenger can touch the screen to control it.
D. It usually flies at a speed of 100 miles an hour.
13. How can the shuttle guarantee a passenger’s safety in an equipment failure?
A.It lowers its flying speed.
B. It changes to another route.
C. It gets help from the control room.
D. It’s progra med to land autonomously.
14. What is the drawback of the EHang 184?
A. It’s too scary to ride in it. B . It costs a lot to take a ride.
C. It runs out of power easily. D .It only flies at a low altitude.

Master Your Deadlines
The struggle begins in high school，sometimes earlier. Deadlines，arid lots of
them，start to pile up. At college，the pressure sometimes leads to last -minute
rush and unsatisfactory work. At work，failing to meet deadlines can easily get you
fired. 16 Here are a few best practices. ·
●Assign deadlines to what matters.
If the task isn’t of high importance，don’t set a specific deadline. In this
way，you are able to keep it on your radar for a while without feeling pressured.
17 This will provide just enough pressure to ensure you get it done. ·
● 18
Set a personal deadline for yourself a day or two before the actual deadline.
19 If you’re working with a group of people，add in even more time to account
for potential follow-ups and the need for approvals. ·
Keep communicating.
20 This means letting others know when something is taking longer than expected，when a delivery didn’t come in，when a client is not providing the necessary information，etc. Although it may feel embarrassing to admit that something is not on schedule，being honest is much better for relieving your stress.
A.Plan for flexible hours.
B. Finish your project as early as possible.
C. But if an activity is urgent，set a deadline immediately.
D. In this way，you’11 never have to stay up late and feel stressed.
E. But handled properly, deadlines can actually improve productivity.
F. Whenever you feel challenged to finish work on time，communicate.
G. So if anything takes longer than expected，you can still wrap it up and submit it on
Time.

Mistakes are unavoidable in life. But attitudes towards it may make a difference.
I still remember how my spoken English was improved. In a beginning，I always
kept silent in our oral class to avoid make mistakes. Before long my teacher got
to know about my situation. He encouraged me to speak out that I thought. Whenever
I made mistakes and felt discouraging，my teacher and my classmates would help me figure out how I must have avoided them. I also joined in an English club to get more chances to speak. Practice made perfect. Now I can talk fluent in English.
Just as the saying goes，"Every bean has its black.”Don’t afraid, of making mistakes. Learn from mistakes，and success is just waiting for us.
