A lady got on a bus. Without saying a word,she just gestured (做手勢) to the bus driver by putting her thumb on her nose and showing her fingers at the driver. And the driver turned to her and used both hands in the same type of gesture and showed all his fingers at her. The woman held her right arm out at the driver and hit it a few times with her left hand. Then the driver made his left hand skate up (滑) his right arm quickly. And the woman got off the bus.

    There was another woman sitting in the front row of the bus who saw the whole exchange (交換) . She spoke up “ That is the most surprising thing I have ever seen on a bus!What were you doing?”

   “Listen,lady!” said the bus driver ,“The lady that got on the bus just now was a deaf one. She was one of my passengers before. In the bus just now,she asked me if the bus went to 5 th Street. I said no and I told her that we would go along the 10th Street. She asked if we made many stops on the way. I told her that I couldn’t stop the bus halfway. So she got off. ”

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問題。

1.Why did the woman say nothing on the bus?


2. Did the driver know the woman before?

3. What did the woman ask when she showed her fingers at the driver?

4. Why did the driver make his left hand skate up his right arm? 

5. How did another woman feel when she saw their “talk”?

詳析

1. Because she was deaf.由第三段“The lady that got on the bus just now was a deaf one. ”可知,這個和司機用手語交流的女人是聾啞人。

2. Yes,he did.由第三段司機介紹 “ She was one of my passengers before. ”可知,這個聾啞人是自己的一位乘客, 由此判斷,他們之間互相認(rèn)識。

3. She asked if the bus went to 5th Street.由第三段. she asked me if the bus went to 5th Street. ” 可知答案。

4. Because he wanted to tell the woman that he couldn't stop on halfway. 在第一段中提到對這個聾啞人做 的手語是“Then the driver made his left hand skate up his right arm quickly. ”左手在右胳膊上一直滑下去,表明 中途不停車,印證了第三段“ I told her that I couldn’t stop the bus halfway. ” 

5. She felt surprised.由第二段“That is the most surprising thing.可知,前座的這位女乘客看到了他們之間的這 些怪異的舉動感到很驚訝。

有另一個坐在公共汽車前 排的女人看見了整個的交流細(xì)節(jié)。

該句主句為There be... doing...句型,意為“有某人/某物正在 ”。另外,who saw the whole exchange是一個定語從句,修飾woman。

   The food we eat depends on (取決于) where we live,or which part of our country we live in. For example,in the south of China,they eat rice,but in the north of China,they eat noodles. In central Europe,people don't eat so much fish; they eat meat and sausages. In Australia,Germany,and Poland (波 蘭) there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages.

   In North America,Australia,and Europe there are two or more courses for every meal and people eat with knives and forks.

   A study shows that today's children play outdoors just half as much as their parents did when they were young.

They stay indoors most of their time. They watch TV,play computer games and,in some cases (情況) , even do their homework. Figures show that in the 1970s and 1980s children enjoyed more than two hours of outside play on weekdays,and even nine hours on weekends—whatever the weather is. But today's youngsters (年輕人,小孩) stay outside for just over an hour on weekdays,and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays.

   It also shows that 58 per cent of parents wish their children played outdoors more often,and they seriously worry their children don't spend enough time playing outdoors.

   In fact,playing outdoors is so important for children—not only to help them stay active and healthy,but also to communicate (交流) with friends,and make those colorful childhood (童年時代) which we look back on so warmly.

    And because they don't go out,they don't know their own communities as well as their parents did,they don't have as many friends in the area and they don't have the same chances for fun as their parents did.

     The question whether there is life on Mars (火星) has made the public think a lot for more than a century. The closest look showed Mars to be a dusty,cold world,covered by air that is too thin to breathe. A British spaceship and Europe's Mars spaceship plan to land on Mars or enter orbit (軌道) around it. One of the NASA’s (美國宇航局) spaceships is expected (期 望) to land on January 3; the other is going to land on the opposite side of Mars on January 24.

    Since 1960,over twenty spaceships sent to Mars have failed. Most have been lost on flying up or landing because those are the most difficult times of any flights. Scientists wanted to find out whether there was water in Mars. In October,a team of scientists reported that Mars had been a dry wasteland. But first appeared here on Earth. Scientists at once raise a question: if what they said is true,what happened on Mars? Then what about the earth?
