New Yorkis among the slowest cities during rush hour in the world, according to a report published in January. Crossing midtown by car is soul-destroying. The average speed is 4.7 miles per hour, not much quicker than a quick walk. But relief is in sight. On April 1st, state lawmakers agreed to introduce road charges, makingNew Yorkthe first big American city to do so. By next year vehicles will have to pay to enterManhattansouth of60th Street.
The details of the new rule, including how much drivers will have to pay, how they will pay and how often they will pay, haveyet to be decided. A “traffic mobility review board" will be set up to work all this out. New Yorkers living in the fee zone who make less than $60,000 a year will be exempt (获豁免) . Other drivers, including motorcyclists, the city' s civil servants, disabled drivers and the trucking industry, all want discounts or exemptions, which might not be a good sign.
If done right, road pricing could be expanded beyondManhattan.New Yorkcan learn from other cities.Singapore, for instance, which has had pricing for decades, adjusts prices regularly. It can also learn from mistakes.London, which rolled out its pricing in 2003, is only starting to charge on-demand car hires like Uber. Stockholm exempted too many vehicles, which caused a drop in revenues (收入) .
Other cities considering road charges, includingLos Angeles, Philadelphia Portland,San FranciscoandSeattle, are watchingNew York. "We really have t1o make a good example," says Nicole Gelinas of the Manhattan Institute, aNew Yorkthink tank.

I dropped out of college after my first year. Three years later, I returned to college after having been stuck in a dead-end job, working at a department store. I saw school as my way out. But I quickly found myself up against the same problems that had caused me to give up before. I was in over my head with college-level algebra (代数) and a heavy workload of reading and writing homework. In addition, I was still unsure of my career (职业) direction。

After about a week in community college, I was feeling the same upset and fear I’d felt a few years earlier. I was ready to drop out again. Then a smartly dressed woman with grey hair walked confidently to the front of my English composition class. “Look at you! You’re here because you want to change your lives for the better. And you’re going to make it!”
Mrs. Peters didn’t know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, yet I felt she was speaking directly to me. She knew exactly what I was feeling and what many of my classmates were probably feeling as well, and she lessened our fears. I came out of that class making up my mind to succeed.
Having trouble keeping up with the workload? Break it down into small manageable pieces, and set up a schedule that works for you, she told us. Professors teaching too fast for you to take notes? Interrupt (打断) them
with a question so you can catch up on your notes before they continue, she advised. If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math, she suggested. As for English composition which can be hard and boring, she gave us interesting writing homework.
She never let us lose sight of our dreams. “Go for the best: you’re worth it” she said when we graduated.
I left that community college with high grades and went on to do further studies. Mrs. Peters wouldn’t know that when she gave that talk, she made a huge difference in my life.
8. Why did the author go back to college?
A. He was out of a job.
B. He was dissatisfied with his job.
C. He tried to start his own business.
D. He hoped to learn more about algebra.
9. What troubled the author at college?
A. He did badly in recent exams.
B. He was forced to leave school.
C. He failed to manage his studies.
D. He was beaten by bitter memories.
10. How did Mrs. Peters affect the author?
A. By showing favor to him.
B. By talking with him directly.
C. By setting him extra homework.
D. By givinghim inspiration and skills.
11. What advice did Mrs. Peters offer to her students on their careers?
A. Have fun.
B. Start small.
C. Dream big
D. Think twice
D
When I was a child, I attained high grades in my academic study. However, I was physically uncoordinated because I was running too slowly. But for future college application, sport was a must. So I took up fencing (击剑) because I thought it required more strategy than athletic ability.
Then I joined the school’s fencing team. My movements were clumsy compared to the seniors. One afternoon after a whole lesson’s failure, tears of frustration welled up in my eyes. One of my teammates approached me, “Could you tell me where your blade (剑) hit me?” She asked. I pointed to her right shoulder. She nodded and patted my stomach, “That’s where I hit you.” She had begun to walk away when I blurted out, “Want to practice together? Again?”
We practiced until we both felt more confident. But it wasn’t just the two of us. All these girls were entirely willing to share their knowledge with everyone, helping each other to grow.
That afternoon, I watched a senior fencer execute a flawless attack admiringly. Something inside me suddenly
bloomed. I realized later that it was love for both fencing and the fencing team.
During the city championship, I was selected to fence. My opponent was the best fencer on her school’s team. “Ready, fence.” The match began. Suddenly, my opponent’s blade hit me. The score was 1-0.
At the moment I could hear my teammates shouting, “Keep distance!” And the team captain’s voice was clear and commanding, “Parry, then disengage!”
Fencing, unlike academics, wasn’t something I could succeed in by myself—even during an individual match, my teammates were still giving me advice. Unathletic as I was, I was proud to be an athlete and a teammate.
I saw my blade tip bury itself into my opponent’s shoulder and the judge signaling that it was my point. I could taste the sweat on my lips, which were breaking out into a smile.
12. Why did the author start to learn fencing?
A. Because she needed to train her coordination.
B. Because she thought it would be easier for her.
C. Because she could not succeed in any other sport.
D. Because she wanted to enter the school fencing team.
13. How did the girls improve their fencing skills?
A. By observing flawless attacks.
B. By practicing on their own.
C. By offering guidance to each other.
D. By competing with other teams.
14. What distinguishes fencing from academics according to the author?
A. Strong determination.
B. Hard work.
C. Athletic strategy.
D. Team support.
15. How did the author feel when she got her point?
A. Unbeatable and respectful.
B. Sweaty and ashamed.
C. Energetic and secure.
D. Proud and thankful.
