In the UK, bus journeys are very common. Buses are often convenient（便利的）for the people who live or work in the city center. Passengers can avoid heavy traffic and not have to pay for the parking. However, taking the bus is just a necessary but boring part of life: they get on the bus, pay for it and sit or find a place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone seems sad and bored.

In Latin America, however, bus trips can be wonderful. For a start, films are showed on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys. Local buses do not show films, but drivers usually turn on the radio and it can be great for passengers to listen to songs and get relaxed.

Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to parts of the town that passengers would not visit by themselves. There passengers can see shops that they have never heard about. And they can also see other cultures of the town from the windows of the buses.

Besides, passengers’ luggage（行李）is also interesting. It is common to see a happy dog’s head getting out of somebody’s bag or a lovely chicken “speaking cheerfully” under somebody’s arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer even tied a sheep to the top of the bus. It was quite surprising.

In all, taking the bus in Latin America is really fun and unforgettable.

1.According to the passage, in the UK, how do passengers probably feel on the buses?

2.In Latin America, how can people have fun on the buses between cities?

3.In the writer’s opinion, what are even better than films and music on the buses?

4.Why does the writer think passengers’ luggage is interesting?

5.What does the passage mainly tell us?

Who wants to carry a bulky bag to school? No children. Nobody wants one shoulder to be lower than the other， and paining（疼痛）too. In India， most of us would look at the reduction（減少）of textbooks as a way out. But in a country like America， there are always more choices. A company called goReader has created a "school bag" which is the size of a laptop computer（筆記本電腦）， weighing about 2.5 kg. The goReader has a color screen and can "hold" all the textbooks that a student may need， says a report in 'The Asian Age' newspaper.

The company plans to work closely with the publishers（出版商） of textbooks so that these books can be supplied on the Internet. All the students will have to do is to download（下載） their textbooks. Making notes and marking important parts of a lesson can be done just as lots of students have done on their textbooks before.

At present， the plan is being tested out in a university. Richard Katzmann， the owner of the company is having his creation tested at Chicago's DePaul University， where he studied. Does that mean it is goodbye to the new paper， and the smell of the black ink?

1.What does the underlined word “bulky” in the first line mean?

A. light B. small C. big and heavy D. old

2. What would Indians do to solve（解決）the problem?

A. They would reduce the textbooks.

C. They would tell the teachers to help students.

Every school seems to have a “bully”(欺凌). In fact, bullying goes on in schools all over the world. Bullying is a common situation at school. We need to get to know more about bullying.

Who gets picked on? Bullies pick on people they think don’t fit in—someone who doesn’t “l(fā)ook the same” or isn’t as “smart” or as “rich”. For example, shy kids often get picked on because of their characters. Physically hitting someone is the most obvious form of bullying, but insulting(侮辱), gossiping(說閑話) and making fun of others are also usual forms of bullying.

What can you do to stop bullying? If you are the bully, think about how your actions hurt others. You can’t build yourself up by putting others down. When you’re feeling stressed or angry, find acceptable ways to deal with your frustrations.

If you are the victim, tell a trusted adult and get some help. Many times adults can find ways to solve the problem. Here are some wise suggestions:

● Ignore(忽略) the bully and walk away.

● Hold your temper. Maybe the bully wants you to explode.

● Don’t fight physically. It may lead to more violence.

● Practice confidence even if you have to pretend it.

● Talk with parents or teachers about it. They are sure to help you solve the problem.

● Make true friends at school. That may be helpful.
