The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That’s one of the 36 rules. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 37 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their 38 .
As the bus came near th4e Mile, a 39 suddenly rang out, “ 40 ! This is your driver speaking.” We 41 the back of the driver’s head. “Put your papers down. All of you.” The 42 came down. “Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead.”
43 we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped in a red scarf. I saw her 44 every day. Our eyes met. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
Our voices were 46 . For many of us, these were the 47 words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 48 , to the strangers beside us. We couldn’t help 49 . There was the feeling of relief (解脫) that we were not being robbed. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50 . “Good morning, neighbor.” It was not so 51 after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, and many laughed.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a warm sound I had 53 heard before in bus No. 151.
When I 54 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day I was 55 off happily.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出答案，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
A
Americans love dogs, all types of dogs; small dogs, big dogs, lapdogs (供玩賞的小狗). Each year, people spend billions of dollars on their four-legged pals, making sure the lovable dogs have enough food to eat and lots of toys to play with.
Dogs love people, too. They lick their faces, protect their homes. Where did these four-legged companions come from? Some scientists believe that they have found the answer.
Scientists have long known that dogs evolved from wolves. Exactly when the transformation from wolf to dog actually took place, however, remains a mystery.
Some said dogs evolved as a separate species 135,000 years ago in two parts of the world. One group of dogs developed in Europe and Asia from Asian wolves. The other group evolved in North, Central, and South America from American wolves.
Now researchers say those theories are wrong. New studies suggest that domesticated dogs first appeared 15,000 years ago in eastern Asia. Scientists also say that every modern dog descended from approximately five female Asian wolves, the mother of all modern dogs.
Scientists suspect dogs first set paws in North America by following settlers across a land bridge that once linked northern Asian and North America.
According to recent studies, all modern dogs came from female wolves in ________.
A. Africa B. Asia C. Europe D. South America
From this passage, we can conclude that ________.
dogs are scientists’ best friends
scientists have no idea how dogs evolved
C. most dogs are from Africa
dogs are more like wolves than they are like any other animal
The underlined word “domesticated” (Para. 5) means “________”.
A. intelligent B. indoor C. tamed D. friendly
B
People who are hit by lightning and survive often have long-term effects. These may include memory loss, sleep disorders, muscle pain and depression.
Experts tell people to seek the safety of a building or a hard-top vehicle any time they hear thunder, even if it is not raining. They say lightning can strike as far as sixteen kilometers from any rainfall. Lightning can travel sideways. And at least ten percent of lightning happens without any clouds overhead that you can see.
People who are outdoors should make sure they are not the tallest thing around. Bend low to the ground, but do not lie down. And do not stand near a tree or any tall object. Get away from water and anything made of metal. A car is safe, but do not touch any metal inside.
Safety experts say people in buildings should stay aw3ay from anything with wires or pipes that lead to the outside. The national Weather Service says if you plan to disconnect any electronic equipment, do so before the storm arrives. Do not use a wired telephone. Do not use water. All these can carry electricity.
Some people think a person struck by lightning carries an electrical charge (電荷) afterward. Experts say this is not true. It is safe to begin emergency treatment.
Each year about four hundred people in the United States are struck by lightning. Last year forty four people died. The average is close to seventy. The National Weather Service says that is more than the number of people killed by severe storms.
According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
Lightning can happen even if there is no cloud.
Lightning won’t do harm to people’s health.
Lightning can travel sideways.
Lightning can strike very far.
We can learn from the passage that ________.
it’s better to turn off any electronic equipment before the storm arrives
a person with an electrical charge may easily be struck by lightning
a wired telephone is the cause of lightning
lightning and storm cause a larger number of death than any other factor
In order to seek lightning safety, you can do the following EXCEPT ________.
A. hide in a building B. sit in a car
C. bend low to the ground D. lie under a tall tree
What’s the passage mainly about?
The latest information about lightning.
Some common knowledge about lightning safety.
How lightning comes into being.
Where we should hide in case of lightning.
