Everybody knows that it is dangerous to cross the street without looking both ways in China. However, I had a different experience in Berkeley, a beautiful city in California, US.
I didn’t know what to do when I had to cross the roads ______39______ my first couple of days there: I wondered whether I should let the car go first or not? Based on my old experience back in China, I would certainly let the car go. “Who wants to be knocked down by a car?” I thought to myself.
One day, I was checking for cars while I was waiting to go to the other side of the road. An SUV came fast toward me, so I stopped and ______40______ . However, to my great surprise, the car stopped right in front of me. To be honest, I was a little confused because in China drivers usually try hard to drive as ______41______ as possible to cross the road before people step out.

The driver waved to me with a gentle smile, seemingly saying: “Go buddy! You first!” ______42______ a polite battle, I gave in and walked onto the crossing first.
This took place nearly six months ago, but the scene still comes back to my mind. Good road-crossing manners between driver and pedestrian (行人) mean ______43______ and fewer accidents. I really hope that more Chinese people will realize this and make crossing the street ______44______ for all the people.

VI. Reading comprehension (阅读理解):
A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 6 分)
One day, early in the morning on my way to work, I saw a little girl carrying a small Cambridge schoolbag. I could imagine that she must be proud of her schoolbag. The bag is designed for students, which can hold a lot of things, such as textbooks, pens and pencils, snacks and water! Students just carry it on their shoulders, and it is easy for them. I was really amazed by the wisdom of businessmen.
I remembered I had a green cloth bag, which was very rough, but strong. At that time I was short, so my mom made the bag rope shorter. After eating all the meals prepared by my mother, I said to her, “I will go to school now. Bye!” I ran to school with my classmates. At that time, this schoolbag was so light. When I jumped, it jumped. All things in this bag had a collision (碰撞). They gave out cheerful sounds all the way along. At the time I was so happy.
As I grew older, the schoolbag became heavier and heavier. My green schoolbag could not be used any longer. The bag was worn down, the mouth was opened, and finally it came to an end. My mother bought me another bag, and it was very big. I liked the Mickey Mouse pattern. The bag had a few pockets and both sides of the bag could carry a bottle. It was convenient! I was happy to go out every day with the new bag. Five or six miles of the trip to school seemed as if it were a few steps away. That year I was 12 years old. Though my first schoolbag wasn’t made in the UK, and it was made by my mother herself, it was still a real Cambridge schoolbag in my mind.

A) it was broken B) the family got rich
C) he wanted a new pattern D) it wasn’t made in the UK.
62.We can learn from the passage that _________.
A) wise businessmen make best schoolbags in the world
B) schoolbags brought the writer happiness when he was little
C) Cambridge schoolbags are very popular all over the world

There is a saying in England which goes; ‘the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain ’. I can tell you now that it is a
64._________. The rain in Spain seems to fall mostly on me. I am spending a year in Galicia and, although it is certainly
a beautiful part of the world, I think it rains more than in England.

Two big ones and a little one which I keep on me 65._________, just in case. Believe me what I tell you is all true.
The problem is that very often, umbrellas offer no help at all.

The rain falls hard and fast, and there is no escaping it.
When people from England think of Spain, they imagine beaches and sunshine. Those things are a world away from my experiences here in Galicia. But I’m not 67._________.

And there are beautiful beaches here in Galicia, although there probably is 68._________ on them at the moment.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 6 分)
Ms. LaRosa is a great teacher. She can answer almost any question that you have about any history topic and if she cannot, she will try her best to help you find the answer. Although she has a hearing aid(助听器), she does not let that prevent her from being a great teacher. She told the class about it on the first day and told us not to let it get in the way of our learning and not to treat her differently.
We all like her class, especially an activity which is called the station. Stations are when our tables of four or five become our groups and we go through four various activities, such as Ancient China, in which we need to put together a sentence and write it using ancient symbols. Each station needs about 40 minutes to complete.
Ms. LaRosa has a policy that not many teachers give a second thought to. That is writing in cursive (草书的)letters. She will provide you with various resources so that your cursive handwriting is the best that it can be. Ms. LaRosa always says that she has a reason for everything that she does. Recently we just understood her reason for supporting cursive handwriting. Cursive writing can force you to think in words but not in letters. Also it has been proven that people who write in cursive letters do better on tests.
Ms. LaRosa’s class gets to do various fun and exciting things. She also uses real examples from her own life, such as things that her daughter has done. Ms. LaRosa also has absolute trust in her students. She always leaves her purse on her desk.
Ms. LaRosa is a great person and a great teacher who is always there for you, and I feel like I can tell her anything.
