Suddenly another thought went through Kate’s mind like an electric shock. An express train was due to go past about
thirty minutes later. If it were not stopped, that long train, full of passengers, would fall into the stream. “Someone must go
to the station and warn the station-master,” Kate thought. But who was to go? She would have to go herself. There was no
one else.
In wind and rain, she started on her difficult was. Soon she was at the bridge that crossed the Des Moines River, a
bridge also built of wood, just like the bridge across Honey Creek. The storm had not washed this away, but there was no
footpath across it. She would have to cross it by stepping from sleeper(枕木) to sleeper. With great care she began the
dangerous crossing, sometimes on her hands and knees, hardly daring to look down between the sleepers into the wild flood
waters below. If she should slip, she would fall between the sleepers, into the rapidly flowing stream.
At last -she never knew how long it had taken her – she felt solid ground under her feet. But there was no time to rest.
She still had to run more than half a mile and had only a few minutes left. Unless she reached the station before the express
did, many, many lives would be lost.
She did reach the station just as the train came into sight. Fortunately, the station-master was standing outside. “The
bridge is down! Stop the train! Oh, please stop it!” Kate shouted breathlessly.
The station-master went pale. He rushed into the station building and came back with a signal light. He waved the red
light as the train came into the station. It was not a second too early.
21. What did Kate decide to do?
A. Stop the express train. B. Check the signal light.
C. Meet the passengers. D. Visit the station-master.
22. Which of the following words best describes Kate’s journey?
A. Fruitless. B. Boring. C. Well-planned. D. Ricky.
23. Why did the station-master turn pale?
A. He suddenly fell ill. B. He realized the danger.
C. He discovered his mistake. D. He became over-excited.
B
The Crowne Plaza Hotel in Copenhagen is offering a free meal to man guest who is able to produce electricity for the
hotel on an exercise bile linked to a generator(发电机). The idea is to get people fit and reduce their carbon footprint. Guest
will have to produce at least 10 watt hours of electricity – roughly 15 minutes of cycling for someone of average fitness.
Guests staying at Plaza Hotel will be given meal tickets worth $$36 once they have produced 10 watt hours of electricity. The
bicycles will have smart phones attached to the handlebars measuring how much power is being generated for the hotel.
The plan, a world- first, will start on 19 April and run for a year. Only guest staying at the hotel will be able to take part.
FrederikkeToemmergaard, hotel spokeswoman, said, “Many of our visitors are business people who enjoy going to the gym.
There might be people who will cycle just to get a free meal, but generally I don’t think people will take advantage of our
programme.”
Copenhagen has a long-standing cycling tradition an 36% of locals cycle to work each day, one of the highest
percentages in the world, according to the website . US environmental website recently
voted Copenhagen the world’s best city for cyclists. “Because Copenhagen is strongly connected with cycling, we felt the
bicycle would work well as symbol of the hotel’s green profile(形象).”
If successful, the electric bicycle meal programme will be spread to all Crowne Plaza hotels in the UK, the hotel said in
a statement.
24. What is the main purpose of the free meal programme?
A. To promote the hotel’s green concept. B. To make the city known to the world.
C. To attract people to the hotel restaurant. D. To get guests to stay longer at the hotel.
25. How can a participant get a free meal?

Digital technology-email and smart phones especially-have vastly improved workers’ ability to be productive outside
of a traditional office. Even so, most whit-collar work still happens in an office. One reason is that, according to findings of
a new survey(调查) of office workers conducted by Wakefield Research for the IT company Citrix, most bosses are
doubtful about remote working. Half of the workers say their boss doesn’t accept it, and only 35 percent say it’s tolerated.
Skeptical bosses will likely have their doubts reinforced(加深) by the same survey, which shows that 43 percent of
workers say they’re watched TV or a movie while “working” remotely, while 35 percent have done housework, and 28
percent have cooked dinner.
It is true, however, that working at home makes people much more efficient(高效的), because it allows workers to take
care of annoying housework while still getting their jobs done. It’s much faster, for example, to shop gor groceries at a
quarter to three than to stand in line during the after-word rush.
The fact that such practices remain officially unaccepted reflects how far we haven’t come as a society from the days
when we expected every full-time worker to be supported by a full-time homemaker.
More broadly the Wakefield survey suggests that employers may be missing a low-cost way to give workers something
of value. Six- four percent of those survey participants who haven’t worked remotely would rather giver up some bonus in
order to get even one day a week working from home. Under such circumstances, smart firms need to find ways to let their
employees have enough flexibility to manage their time efficiently.
28. Why do some employers hesitate to allow remote working?
A. They fear losing control of their workers. B. They want to stick to their routine practice.
C. They have little trust in modern technology. D. They are used to face-to-face communication.
29. What seems to be most workers’ attitude toward remote working?
A. Doubtful. B. Favorable C. Reserved D. Disapproving.
30. What does the author suggest smart firms do?
A. Shorten their office hours. B. Give employees a pay rise.
C. Adopt flexible work patterns. D. Reduce their staff’s workload.
