He is an 80-year-old judge in the capital city of Rhode Island, the smallest state in the U. S. One of his jobs is to take charge of traffic court. That involves talking to people who have gotten traffic tickets for going though red lights or parking illegally. They go to traffic court to question the tickets. Caprio hears what they have to say. Then, he decides whether or not the ticket is legal.Caprio recently heard the case of a young man who was driving his mothers car. He went through a light after it turned red. After he spoke with the high school student, Caprio decided to let him off with a warning-if he promised to go to college and graduate.Another video from the Providence traffic court came out earlier this week. It showed a woman speaking with Judge Caprio about a parking ticket. She went to traffic court after getting a ticket for parking in an area that only permitted parking after 10 a. m. . The ticket was written at 9:59 a. m. . The woman said the clock in her car showed 10 a. m., so she thought it would be OK. After some conversation, the judge decided to dismiss the ticket.But Caprio did tell her, “You violated the city laws.” He held up a large book of rules. He smiled and the woman laughed. He said: “Our parking enforcement officers are second to none in the country!” After talking with the court officer, he said “I think 9:59 is close enough. Matter is dismissed.”The video was viewed over 1 million times in just two days. One person wrote of the video: “This is so cute. What a great judge. LOVE THIS.” Others wondered if the video was real, because it seemed so funny. But, there actually are judges out there like Frank Caprio. He is as real as they e.25What punishment did the young man receive? A. None B. Fine C. Education D. Blame26Which of the following can replace the underlined word “violated” in Paragraph 4? A. ignored B. followed C. understood D. broke27What did the author think of the video about the parking ticket? A. It was funny B. It was so cute C. It was not real D. It was quite trueCWe often just use our sense of sight, touch, smell, and taste to eat food. But what about our sense of hearing? Does sound also affect our dining experience?A new report answers, “yes, it does.”That answer es from researchers at Brigham Young University and Colorado State University in the United States. They found that hearing is important in the eating experience.Hearing is often called “the forgotten food sense”, says Ryan Elder. Elder is an assistant professor of marketing at Brigham Young Universitys Marriott School of Management. He says that if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less. On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.For the study, the researchers wanted to test whether the sounds of eatingchewing, chomping and crunching(松脆的)had any effect on how much a person ate. During the experiments, the test subjects wore headphones and listened to noise at either a high or low audio level. Then researchers gave them a crunchy snack: pretzels. The study found that subjects who listened to the higher volume noise ate more pretzels than those with the low audio levels.Elder says that when hiding I heard sounds of eating, like when you watch television or listen to loud music while eating, we take away the sense of hearing. And this may cause you to eat more than you would normally. The researchers are calling this, the “crunch effect”.The researchers admit that the effects may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month or a year, all that food can really add up.28Which sense is often ignored in the eating experience? A. Sight. B. Smell. C. Hearing. D. Touch.29Who would find this article helpful? A. People who enjoys cooking food .B. People who cares about losing weight. C. People who like watching TV .D. People who want to eat healthy food.30Why the researchers use “pretzels”? A. They can make loud noise. B. They are delicious. C. They are more available D. They are good for health.31Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Be Mindful of Whatever You Eat B. Be Sensitive to Your Eating habits C. Want to Lose Weight? Listen to yourself Eat D. Better Hear Than EatDLots of people like a good fright at Halloween. Yet, the most frightening thing of all about the night is that twice as many children are killed while out and about on Hallween pared to any other day of the year, according to a study by Safe Kids Worldwide. It can also be a worrying time for others, especially elderly people living alone. Bu many people think its just harmless fun.But is it harmless fun?Police forces across Britain are giving warnings about Halloween night. They are asking all those wishing to celebrate Halloween this year to respect those who dont want to join in.Some forces, like West Mercia Police, have produced “Sorry, No Trick or Treat” posters which can be downloaded from their website, and put up in windows. They want people to send them to the old or anyone who may be frightened by ghosts(鬼)knocking on their doors.A spokesman said: “Children should not call on houses where the posters are put up, neither should they call on strangers, as this can put young people at risk and also make some house owners anxious, especially those who are elderly or living alone.”The police want all trick or treaters to remember that disturbing other people or throwing objects at their homes or cars are all criminal offences(刑事罪). “What may start off as a bit of fun could end up with someone getting a criminal record,” they warn. “Parents may want to consider having a Halloween party at home, instead.”Kent Police are warning young people never to go into the home of someone they dont know-and to remember not to frighten people.Warwickshire Police are also warning that tricks may seem like harmless fun but can cause trouble to others. They say behaviour such as throwing eggs can quickly cross the line between being anti-social and causing criminal damage. This can result in fines of 2,500 for small offences.32What has the study made by Safe Kids Worldwide found? A. Halloween brings people no fun B. Halloween night puts some kids at risk C. kids are involved in criminal offences D. kids are afraid of Halloween33Why are British police forces making efforts to? A. Control anti-social behaviours B. Put an end to trick or treat C. Make Halloween safe and trouble-free D. Punish those who frighten others34Why are the “Sorry, No Trick or Treat” posters designed? A.

To make some people free from harm35Which of the following things is encouraged by the police during Halloween? A. Having a Halloween party at home B.
