  Now here he was with three teenage girls   5  .Suddenly he had to   6   things like dating(约会)and bra(乳罩).The man who   7   showed his emotions became a man who’d listen to all our deepest heartaches.

  Dad’s support helped me get things through:Paul and I decided to   12  .And when it came time, Dad insisted on doing the reception.I was so   13   to be getting married that I never thought I’d be a nervous bride.But   14   Dad walked me down the passageway of the church, tears rolled down my checks.When I looked over at him, he was   15   too.

Overhead bridges are found in many parts of. Beijing, especially in places where   traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.
The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Over-   head bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more ef-                                                       ficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps.   This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead   bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a ze-   bra crossing, traffic is held up, this is why the government has built many overhead   bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.
The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money in building these   bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of   risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little   difficult to climb up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across   the road with all the danger of moving traffic.
Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.
1. What is the advantage (优点)of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?
A. Taller trucks can pass under them.
B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.
C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same fame.
D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.
2. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.
B.Overhead bridges are only found in center of Beijing.                            C.Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.                   D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.                 
3.Theunderlined words a zebra crossing probably mean _______.                
A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road.
B. A wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its body
C. A safe place across a road for zebra to walk across the road
D. A safe place across a road for children to play a game.
4. What is the writer's attitude(态度) towards overhead bridge?
A. It is inconvenient for older people to walk across the road.
B. It is much safer for pedestrians thought climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult.
C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.
D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.

  Just outside the northern Italian town of Bra, there rises a church tower with a clock that is a half hour slow. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin,Bra smells of roses,and leisure(悠闲)is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes slow food and one of Italian cities that have joined the slow cities. In Bra, the population is 27,866. The town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic(有机的). And as the movement goes well,the slow concept gradually spreads across Europe.
  The argument for a Slow Europe is not only that it is good,but also that it can work. The Slow City Movement, which started in 1999,has improved local economies(经济)by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra,where unemployment is only 5 percent,about half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are doing well,many with sales rising at a rate of 15% per year.“This is our answer to the world,”says Paolo Saturnini,the founder of Slow Cities.
  France is in favor of slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model:short hours and long vacations. Yet the French are more productive than those in the United States and Britain,and have been for years.
  The mystery of French productivity has risen an Europe-wide debate about the advantages of working more slowly.
63.The church clock that is a half hour slow serves as a symbol of __________.
A.industrial development           B.slow movement
C.global economy             D.city growth
64.The low unemployment in Bra proves that__________.
A.the population is not large
B.tourism brings great job chance
C.the Slow City Movement is successful
D.the slow concept works well only in its birthplace
65.It can be inferred from the passage that__________.
A.British workers work longer hours than the French
B.French workers work longer hours than the Italians
C.Italian workers are less productive than the Americans
D.American workers are more productive than the British
66.The increased French productivity tends to__________.
A.favor a fast life style
B.throw doubt on slow economics
C.encourage a slow economic growth
D.confirm advantages of slow economics
