Vicky Zhao is a mainlander working in Hong Kong. For her, one thing she cant put up with is people standing on the wrong side of the escalators in subway stations. Escalators help us move faster and save time. It isnt a place to rest, the 24-year-old mainlander says. I often see tourists block the way with their cases or chatting on the escalators during rush hour. It always annoys me.The logic（逻辑） behind the stand right, walk left escalator etiquette seems obvious. You should leave enough space for people in a hurry, so that they can run and catch the train. Many cities escalators, including Beijings, use the stand right, walk left system to speed up the flow of people.（Australia is an exception and you should stand on the left side instead.）But the people who stand on escalators protect themselves by telling the walkers not to be so impatient. In a recent story about escalator etiquette, the BBC quotes（引用） one stander as saying, If the person is in such a rush, why not just take the stairs? Even when the escalator is very full and there is nowhere to move, I see these same people complaining about not being able to pass.Whatever the escalator etiquette is in the place you live or visit, do what most people are doing and always think of others: leave enough space between each other, dont remain at the end of the escalators, and if someone is blocking your way, a simple excuse me is enough.（1）The escalators are used to . A . help people carry their suitcasesB . provide a place to restC . help people move faster and save timeD . catch the train on time（2）Vicky Zhao cant stand . A . working for long in Hong KongB . the logic behind the escalator etiquetteC . people fighting on the side of the escalatorsD . people blocking the way on the escalators（3）From the passage we know that we should on the escalators. A . stay at the end of the escalatorsB . not take cases or that loudlyC . always say excuse me to othersD . leave enough space for the people in a hurry（4）The best title for this article passage is . A . Life in Big CitiesB . The Escalator EtiquetteC . Safety on the EscalatorD . No Blocking11. （6分）阅读理解 Many people find it difficult to improve(提高) their reading skills (技能) when they learn English.

Well, maybe you should first learn something about the struggles (奋斗) of great scientists.The American Psychological Association did an interesting study. More than 400 students from schools in New York City took part in it. The students were divided into three groups. Group 1 read a typical textbook that describes the achievements of great scientists. Group 2 read about those scientists personal struggles. For example, as a Jew, Einstein (爱因斯坦) ran away from Nazi Germany to avoid persecution (迫害). The last group read about the scientists intellectual struggles, such as Marie Curies failed scientific tests. These stories about struggles also told students how the scientists dealt with these obstacles(障碍) .The students took a science exam before the study. After the sixweek study, they took another. Scientists found those in Groups 2 and 3 improved their science grades. Students in Group 1 didnt see a grade increase. Some of them even had lower grades after the study.The study was led by Xiaodong LinSiegler, a teacher at Columbia University. According to Xiaodong, kids often think Einstein was truly intelligent. They believe they will never match him.Many of them fail to realize that any success requires a long journey. Along the way, there are many failures(失败) . Students who read the struggle stories more probably said that great scientists were like themselves. The great minds also had to overcome obstacles to achieve success.Xiaodong says todays science textbooks fail to bring science to life. As a result, students seldom regard science as part of their everyday lives. Instead, they just see a long list of facts that they have to remember. Xiaodong thinks textbooks should include more stories about how great scientists had to struggle to succeed. And students should focus more on how these scientists dealt with the obstacles they met along the way.（1）According to the article, students can improve their physics and chemistry grades by _. A . reading the achievements of great scientists more carefullyB . listening more carefully to their physics and chemistry teachersC . learning about how great scientists dealt with their obstacles（2）All of the students who took part in the study _.
