After all, we live in New York City, and getting around by public transportation(公共交通) is a basic part of life. It is also the first step toward feeling grown-up.So on that sunny Sunday, I gave him a subway map, a transportation card, $20 for emergencies, and a couple of coins so that he could call me if necessary. I didnt give him a cell phone because nine-year-olds could lose things easily.A few days later, I wrote about this experience for a newspaper. Little did I realize the idea that a kid could tour the city on his own, and that a mom would let him go, was big news.It turned out that many TV shows called me and asked for an interview. Bloggers were going crazy. so I started a blog, too, and letters came pouring in. Finally, I found out why this was such a big story: we have become fearful for our children. Fear is hardly a new thing for parents. But the fear of letting our children out of sight for even a second-thats new. How did this happen? How did it become too scary to let kids be kids? I asked the question when the reporter Trevor Butterworth came. News reports! he answered, “News reports scare the pants off you.” What is scarier than a kid being kidnapped(诱拐)? Because there are so many such stories. People start to feel as if kidnappings are happening all the time. Thats why the kid-on-the subway story surprises the whole world.”Ben probably did a good job. He simply proved(证明) that kids could leave home alone and return home safely! But he didnt think it was a big deal. It was fun. He said, But I missed some classes because of the interviews.”Sometimes, it really pays to be brave.26 . The author agreed to let her son take the subway alone because .Aher son was old enough to depend on(依靠) himselfBshe felt traveling by subway in New York was a basic life skillCshe thought it would be big news around the worldDshe never thought that her son would be kidnapped27 . The author didnt expect that after she wrote about her sons story.Aher son would receive so many lettersBsome reporters would like to film her sons storyCa blog would be started in her nameDmany TV shows would come to interview her28 . What does the underlined sentence really mean?ANews reports are always very scary.BKidnappings are happening too often in todays world.CNews reports about kidnappings influence(影响) people too much.DPeople always prefer scary stories to other stories.29 . What can we infer from the passage?AToo many parents are worried about their kids safety.BThe author gave everything her son might need for the subway trip.CBen was so proud that he succeeded in proving childrens abilities.DMost reporters thought children nowadays should be more independent(独立的).30 . The best title of the passage could be “”.AFear Is GrowingBThe Kid-on-the-subway StoryCAn Important Step ForwardDBe Brave to Let Kids GoEvery year, we celebrate many special days Mothers Day, Fathers Day and New Years Day. In some countries, there is a special day for playing tricks on others. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fools Day, and is celebrated on April 1.Many people believe that the French started April Fools Day. Centuries ago, New Years Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1st.Some people did not like this, and chose to keep April 1 as New Years Day. Many called these people “April fools” and played jokes and tricks on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.On April Fools Day, jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friends clock ahead one hour, or change the sugar and salt. In Scotland, April Fools Day lasts for two days. The second day is called “Taily Day”for ones “tail”. On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying “kick me” on a persons back or behind. Other countries have their own “Fools Day”. In Spain and Mexico, people play tricks on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31. In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. Jokes bring about a lot of laughter, and many shouts of “April Fool”！31 . It is said that people first celebrated “Fools Day” in _Athe United StatesBFranceCScotlandDSpain32 .

We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively (相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity (容量.) As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too. The head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend (有的趋势) to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive (敏感的) because they are used a great deal in modern life.What about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!Perhaps, all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive (有吸引力的) person to look at! This may well be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.36 . Future man is probably to be different from us in _ ways.AtwoBthreeCfourDfive37 . Future mans head will grow larger because _.Ahe will use his brain more and more as time goes onBhe makes use only 80% of the brains capacityCthe other 80% of his brain will grow fasterDhis brain has grown larger over the past centuries38 . What will be probably TRUE about the man in the future?AHe will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.BHis fingers will grow weaker because he wont use them.CHe will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.DHe will think and feel in a different way.39 . What does the writer write the article for?ATo give us some knowledge of future man.BTo show that mans life will be different in the future.CTo let us know future man will become shorter.DTo tell us future man will not use legs.Mum gave little Tom ten yuan.
