Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage. Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts. From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.

The Transportation Department(部门) is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road in Taizhou but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park. The number of the private(私人的) car owners is becoming lager and larger. In March, the city sent out 1,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to over 200 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts(专家) say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars. By the year 2020, the number of cars in Taizhou will probably reach 200 thousand. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of Taizhou is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn’t solve the problem. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and need higher parking fees. But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops. 1. The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means _____. A. making B. arguing C. replying D. comparing 2. About _____ drivers can find places to park their cars in Taizhou now. A. 8,500 B. 10,000 C. 15,000 D. 20,000 3. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. The city sent out more private licenses in February. B. Less and less people bought cars in March. C. The city sent out less private licenses in March. D. More and more people are going to buy cars. 4. This passage is mainly about_____. A. parking problems B. heavy traffic C. pollution in Taizhou D. building more parking lots in the city center (八)(答案：1-5 BDCDA) I live in a very over populated beach area in the Los Angeles and I love the beautiful sights.But because of many people ,lots of things are easy to be out of order, and sometimes it’s also easy to become angry.Today was a day I wish I did not get out of bed..I mean that if I did not have to wake up and deal with every day, it would have been wonderful.

For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. 3 . To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!
