My mom is always at work and my sisters are never around, so I have nothing to do. My house is borboring. The train lets me escape and explore.

      I have been taking the train for five years. I've learned that it's fast and convenient.  I live about two milmiles from the Blue Line Imperial station.  I like taking the train because it gives me freedom.

       My favorite place to go is downtown.  I take the train to Macy's Plaza in front of the 7th Street Station  to do some shopping at Borders or Victoria's Secret, or to get something to eat at the food count  With 25 cents, you can take the DASH bus from the station to get to the Fashion District. Since I like making ac- cessories(首飾)  like earrings, I love going there because of all the deals on jewelry supplies.

       I take the train to the Museum of Contemporary Art with friends on the first Sunday of every month since we can get in for free. We tour around the museum and get to do an art project at the end.  I like going to the museum because there are a lot of wonderful things.

      The cool thing about the train is that it connects to other train lines, which lets you see different parts of the city. The Gold Line runs from Union Station northeast to Pasadena and now east to East L. A. The Red Line goes from downtown to Hollywood. The Green Line goes from Norwalk to several beaches. When I don't know how to get somewhere, I go to mta. net, type in my starting point and end point and get times and routes. I hardly ever get lost.

54. We can infer from Paragraph I that_____.

     A. the writer's sisters are always busy with their work.

     B. the writer doesn't get along well with her family

     C. the writer doesn't know how to kill time

     D. the writer doesn't like staying at home alone

 55. What does the writer often go to downtown for?

     A. To do the shopping.       B. To eat pizza.   

     C. To visit her friends.       D. To make accessones.

 56. We can know from the passage that the writer_______.

     A. doesn't like spending time with her friends

     B. often takes a course of art appreciation in a museum

     C. visits a museum with her friends once a month

     D. goes to a museum so as to find some wonderful things

The ringing of the phone runs through my head, telling me someone needs help. I pick it up and    1    the routine, “Teen Lifeline, this is Amber.” About 45 minutes later I hang up, feeling pleased because I’ve helped another teen. Volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize how to deal with my own    2    and help others.

    “My mom is always fighting with me. I want to run away.” Some teens feel their    3    is a prison, rather than a place of shelter and safety. They feel parents are only there to make their lives    4   . We try to help the teens realize the danger they could be in    5    giving them advice. All we can do is to ask questions. We also try to find out where the teens would go and how they would survive. We give them a phone number if they     6    don’t want to live in their “prison”.

“I don’t want to    7    any more” is something we hear, and suicide (自殺) calls are some of the hardest to    8   . We try to discover why they want to take their lives and how serious they are by asking them to rate it on a scale of one to ten. One means they are    9    suicide but haven’t decided how, and ten means they are always thinking about it and have a    10    . We ask them to make a promise that they will not hurt themselves. And sometimes we ask for their telephone numbers    11   we can call back to make sure that they are okay.

Although many calls are about relatively    12    problems, volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize I’m not the    13    person with problems, and has taught me how to    14    with my heart. I have made a    15    and saved many lives — possibly even my own, too.  

1.  A. set               B. stop              C. change            D. start

5.  A. for              B. of           C. without          D. besides

6.  A. even             B. almost            C. still                D. mostly
