Ⅲ.阅读理解
Parents usually teach their children how to cross the street safely, by looking both ways for cars. But do they also teach them to put away their cellphones?
The city of Honolulu, Hawaii wants everyone to learn that lesson. Texting while crossing the street will soon be banned in the city. Beginning on October 24th, you could be fined from $15 to $99 if you step onto a Honolulu street while looking at your phone. Honolulu is the first major US city to ban what is called “distracted walking”. It recently passed a law in a seven-to-two vote. The law says: “No pedestrian shall cross a street or highway while viewing a mobi le electronic device.” In other words, do not look at a screen when you cross the street or you could be fined.
The law’s creators hope it will lower the number of people hit and killed by cars in the city. Mayor Kirk Caldwell told Reuters news agency, “We hold the unfortunate distinction of being a major city with more pedestrians being hit in crosswalks, particularly our seniors, than that of almost any other cities in the country.”
The law includes all electronic devices with screens: cellphones, tablets, gaming devices, digital cameras and laptop computers. The law does permit an exception. Pedestrians may use such devices in the street to call emergency services and rescue workers, such as firefighters and police officers.
Pedestrian deaths have been increasing as the use of cellphones rises. The Governors Highway Safety Association, or GHSA, says pedestrian deaths in the United States increased by 25 per cent between 2010 and 2015. That trend continued in 2016 with the number of pedestrian deaths rising to almost 6,000, 11% higher than that in 2015.
Other US cities may follow Honolulu. The State of Washington was the first to outlaw distracted driving back in 2007. Now, 46 other states as well as D.C., Puerto Rico, Guam and the US Virgin Islands, also have laws against texting while driving.
()1.What’s the passage mainly about?
A.Honolulu will ban distracted walking.
B.Texting while walking draws public attention.
C.More cities in the US will ban texting while driving.
D.The number of people killed by cars in Honolulu is increasing.
()2.In what case can people use electric devices in Honolulu streets?
A.Walking with police officers.
B.Making urgent calls.
C.Helping rescue workers.
D.Texting to consult about emergency services.
()3.What does the author convey in Paragraph 5?
A.Texting while walking should be banned quickly.
B.Distracted walking caused a severe problem in Honolulu.
C.Cellphones led to more and more pedestrian deaths in the US.
D.Pedestrian deaths were caused by texting while walking.
()4.Which US state was the first to ban texting while driving?
A.Hawaii.
B.Washington.
C.Puerto Rico.
D.Guam.

Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs Owens took a look at Emily’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr Buttler told her to do. Mr Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.
Paragraph 1:
The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.

The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. She was not rejected this time. Her name was posted at the top of the list. She, Emily White, was chosen to be the leading singer! She would sing alone in the performance. Emily couldn't believe her eyes. There must be some mistakes. But Mr Buttler said to her with determined eyes, “Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part—your voice is unusual. Believe in yours elf.” Greatly encouraged, Emily practised really hard.
Finally, the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. “Emily White!” someone whispered. Then along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage. Emily White, with so many birth problems in her body, was an angel.。
