He had his money on a bus last week答案解析

London--- A mother has criticised（批评）“selfish” passers-by for failing to help her teenage son after he fainted (晕倒) on a packed tram platform.

Oliver Tiplady was on his way to school when he fainted at the tram stop. But instead of helping the 14-year-old, who was in school uniform，those nearby simply walked around him. Her mother, Susan Tiplady , said, “How can people leave a child for that matter, on the floor like that? How could they all have ignored him? They must have lacked any basic humanity and had no piry on a child.” She said her son regained consciousness (意识) about ten minutes after fainting at the tram stop last week. “He managed to get up and sit down before his friends turned up, but by then he was too embarrassed to tell them what had happened. It wasn’t until he got to school that he told a teacher.” she added.

BEIJING - At least 15 pupils were confirmed dead after a school bus rolled over in Xuzhou, East China's Jiangsu province.

The accident occurred around 6 pm on Monday .There were 29 pupils on the bus .The bus was traveling on the road when two electric bikes suddenly cut in and the driver was trying to avoid them.. The bus was produced by Shaolin Auto Co Ltd in Henan province and had a full capacity ( 容量) of 52 passengers.

South Korea ---South Korea's largest mobile phone operator said Thursday that it will offer cell phone users a new noise service that it says will drive away mosquitoes（蚊子）.

SK Telecom Co. said consumers can pay 3,000 won ( 韩元 ) （$2.50） to download a sound wave that can’t be heard by human ears but annoys mosquitoes within a range of three feet. Customers can then play the sound just by hitting a few buttons on their mobile phones. The company claimed that the service worked during tests .The service, which begins Monday, has one drawback: it consumes as much battery power as normal cell phone rings.

56. After Oliver Tiplady fainted at the tram stop , ________

A. the passers-by went up to him and helped him up.

B. his friends turned up and helped him up in the end .

C. he told the whole story to his friends and teacher .

57. The best word to describe the passers–by is ______  .

58. From the passage , we can infer _______

A. the accident happened because of two electric bikes .

B. the school bus was overloaded when the accident happened .

C. the bus driver was speeding up when the accident happened .

D. the bus driver was driving carelessly when the accident happened.

59. According to the passage , we know the service of the cell phone _______ .

   Five of us went off to Amsterdam late last summer for a week. We finished our holiday jobs and thought we deserved a break. We got a cheap flight to Amsterdam,took a bus into town,and went to see the sights. .

   None of US knew the place,so it was a bit of an adventure,and we got completely lost at one point.

My friend Dave nearly fell into â canal when we were crossing a bridge because he wasn,t looking where he was going!But we managed to find the Van Gogh Museum,where we had to queue for two hours. There were so many people!While we were waiting there,I met an old friend from school. The world is a small place!

   We stayed in a travellers’hostel(招待所) ，and met some friendly Italians who were staying there too. The hostel was cheap and clean. Ten people in one dormitory can be a problem!And for food,we generally ate in fast food restaurants. Did you know the Dutch have mayonnaise (蛋黄酱) with their chips? But on my birthday we had a special meal at an Indonesian restaurant.

   Anyway,public transport is good,so it's easy to get around the city. A lot of people rent bikes,but we preferred to go by bus. You have to be careful though. You get your ticket from a machine,not from the driver. When we were going to the Vondelpark on Friday,two of the boys didn’ t have any money to buy a ticket,and an inspector caught them. They had to pay five times the fare!They tried to say they were foreigners,but the man didn' t accept that. The rest of us just laughed. In the end,we all had a great time and would love to go back to Holland.

　　My grandfather used to have a beautiful gold pocket watch. He wore it on a fine gold chain across the front of his waistcoat, and when I was small he promised to leave it to me in his will.

　　“When I'm gone,” he said, “this is going to be yours.”

　　Unfortunately that will never happen now. About three months ago, my grandfather came up to London to visit us. The first Sunday morning after he arrived, my youngest son said he wanted to go to the park.

　　“We'll do better than that,” said my grandfather, “we'll go and feed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square.” So off they went. They got home about tea-time and my grandfather was looking very upset.

　　“My watch,” he said, “it's gone. Someone must have stolen it while we were feeding the pigeons.”

　　“Did you tell the police?” I asked.

　　“No,” he said, “I didn't think it would do any good.”

　　“You should have reported it,” I said. “Perhaps you just lost it.”

　　“No,” he replied, shaking his head. “Someone must have taken it. But I know what I'm going to do.”

　　My grandfather put an advertisement in the Personal Column of the Evening Standard and Evening News for a week.

　　A few minutes after one on an afternoon, a small, nervous man, wearing a cloth cap, approached my grandfather. “Excuse me, Sir,” he asked, “are you the gentleman enquiring about his pocket watch?”

　　My grandfather nodded. “Well, you must understand, Sir, that I didn't have it, but the gentleman who did has asked me to give it back.”

　　From the pocket of his rather dirty overcoat, he produced my grandfather's watch. My grandfather was delighted. He paid the man 100 pounds, as promised, fixed the watch chain back where they belonged, and solemnly shook hands with the little man.

　　My grandfather went back to the bus stop. He thought he would like to have another look at his watch. So, smiling to himself, he unbuttoned his coat and looked down. The smile froze on his lips. The watch and chain were no longer there.

At 3,500 metres, La Paz, Bolivia, is the highest capital in the world．Many roads are in bad condition and accidents are frequent．One road in particular, is considered the most dangerous in the world．On one side there is a sudden drop, which is so great that anyone inside the vehicle is lucky to survive．
But thanks to one man, the death toll （人数） has fallen．Timoteo Apaza is a man who lives in a village near the most dangerous part of the road, known as "the Devil's Bend"．Timoteo has an unusual job — he is a human traffic signal．Every morning he stands on the bend and directs the traffic．When two vehicles approach from opposite directions, they can't see each other, but they can see Timoteo．Actually no one pays him to do the job．Sometimes drivers give him a tip so that he has just enough money to live on．But often they just pass by, taking the human traffic signal for granted．
So why does he do it? Before Timoteo volunteered to direct the traffic, he had been a driver．Then one day he was driving a lorry load of bananas when he came off the road at a bend and fell three hundred metres down the mountain．Somehow he survived, but was in hospital for months．Then, a few years later, he was called out in the night to help pull people out of a bus crashed at the Devil's Bend．This last experience had a profound effect on Timoteo．He realized that he was lucky to be alive himself, and felt that it was his mission in life to help others．So every morning, week in, week out, from dawn to dusk, Timoteo takes up his place on the bend．
