Three boys and three girls boarded the bus to Fort Lauderdale, dreaming of golden beaches as the gray cold of New York disappeared behind them. They noticed an old man, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, ill-fitting suit, never? ? ? , and his dusty face? ? ? his age.?

Slowly and ? ? ? he told his story. His name was Vingo, he had been in? ? ? in New York for the past four years, and now he was going home. “When I was in prison I wrote to my wife,” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away for a long time, and that if she couldn't? ? ? it, if the kids kept asking questions, if it? ? ? too much, she could just forget me, I'd understand.”
“Last week, knowing I would be? ? ? , I wrote her again. We used to live in Brunswick and there's a big oak tree just as you come into town.

If she didn't ? ? ? me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I'd go on through.”
“Wow,” the girl exclaimed. She told the others, and soon all of them put their faces against the window, waiting for the ? ? ? of Brunswick.
Then Brunswick was ten miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming ? ? ? , all except Vingo. Vingo sat there? ? ? , looking at the oak tree.

The sun is shining when I get on No. 151 bus. We passengers sit jammed together in heavy clothes. No one speaks. That’s one of the unwritten rules of Chicago commuting. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to hide behind our newspapers. The phenomenon is striking: people who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their distance.
As the bus approaches the Magnificent Mile, a voice suddenly rings out: “Attention! Attention!” Papers rattle (發(fā)出細小聲). Necks crane (伸長). “This is your driver speaking.”
We look at the back of the driver’s head. His voice has authority.
“All of you put your papers down.”
The papers come down, an inch at a time. The driver waits. The papers are folded and placed on our laps.
“Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead.”
Amazingly, we all do it. Still, no one smiles.
I face an older woman, her head wrapped tightly in a red scarf. I see her nearly every day. Our eyes meet. We wait, unblinking, for the next order from the driver.
“Now, repeat after me…” It is a command, delivered in the tones of a drill sergeant (操練軍士). “Good morning, neighbor!”
Our voices are weak and timid. For many of us, these are the first words we have spoken today. But we say them at the same time, like schoolchildren, to the strangers beside us.
We smile and can’t help it. We have said it; the barrier has been broken. Good morning, neighbor. It is not so hard after all. Some of us repeat it. Others shake hands. Many laugh.
The bus driver says nothing more. He doesn’t need to. Not a single newspaper goes back up. I hear laughter, a warm sound I have never heard before on bus No. 151. This day is starting off better than most.
1.On hearing the sudden utterance of “Attention!”, the passengers ___________.
A.stopped reading and put down their newspapers immediately
B.sat still without response
C.looked up from the newspapers to see who was speaking
D.were frightened
2.The underlined word “commuting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ___________.
A.long-distance ride
B.daily traveling between home and work
C.communication technology
D.behavior patterns
3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.The passengers on the crowded bus were so absorbed in reading their newspapers that no one spoke.
B.When the bus driver said nothing more, the passengers picked up and read their newspapers again.
C.The passengers didn’t follow the driver’s instruction at first.
D.The passengers were physically close together but mentally they kept each other at a terrible distance.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Warmth of Communication
B.The Exchange of Information
C.The Power of Observation
D.The Attitude to Loneliness

Blind photography sounds strange.But a striking exhibition of photographs in California argues that it develops as a result of the contemporary art.The show "Sight Unseen", at the California Museum of Photography until Aug.29, includes everything: underwater scenes, landscapes, abstracts and everything else you might expect from a "sighted" photographer.
How do the blind take their photographs? Some rely on assistants to set up and then describe the shots (鏡頭) , and others just point and shoot in the right place."Just like any good artists," says McCulloh."They have their unique ways of operating." One participating photographer is Pete Eckert, an artist with multiple degrees in design and sculpture who only turned to photography after losing his vision in the mid-1990s.He opens the shutter (快門) on his camera and then uses flashlights, lights, and candles to paint his scene on film.A former fashion photographer in Chicago, Weston, lost his vision due to AIDS in 1996 and focuses on images of destruction and disability.His photos are also a star of the show.
What do gallery-goers say? "I was very impressed by it.The technique and experience was amazingly different," says John Hesketh, a printmaker in Anaheim."You never have a sense of feeling sorry for these people because they've worked very hard to prove their value."
Beyond the praise, however, the exhibition also makes a great example for disabled people everywhere.That point was explained in early May during a discussion on the TV show.At the very end of the talk, one attendee expressed his opinion."This exhibition is extraordinary and revolutionary for many reasons.I think that by being an artist with a disability, you are continuing the work of those people who fought for basic civil rights to gain access and to have a voice.In that way, it's so wonderful that your photographs say it all."
1.From the passage we know that some blind people take photos by .
A.describing the things to their assistants.
B.holding the camera and shooting randomly.
C.opening the shutter with the help of others.
D.using special equipment designed for them.
2.We can learn from the passage that blind photographers ______.
A.were not born blind.
B.do jobs related to art.
C.focus on different subjects.
D.like photos of destruction.
3.What is people's reaction to the blind photography show?
A.They admire the blind photographers' hard work.
B.They feel really sorry for those blind photographers.
C.They think some have good techniques while others not.
D.They can understand the real meaning of each photograph.
4.The significance of the exhibition lies in the fact that ______.
A.the California Museum of Photography receives praises for holding the show.
B.the public have a chance to know what the blind people are concerned about.
C.the blind photographers have a good place to show their works.
D.the exhibition can be very inspiring to the blind in the world.

Modcm inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a bundred miles in little more than an hour. Aireraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed.

No multi-tasking there; their lives wenl on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so ,we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors faeed;:they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modem machinery has freed peope fre that primitive existcnee.
