It's 9 a.m.,the morning rush hour in Toronto.A man has fallen down on a downtown street suddenly.Several passers-by stop to help the man.One woman reaches into her purse for her cellphone and hits 911,the emergency number.
Within ten minutes,the stricken man is in the back of an ambulance and is sent to the hospital for life-saving treatment.
This scene is fairly common in Toronto and other major cities.Over the years,cities have developed systems to respond quickly to emergenciesBut none of this would be possible without the cooperation of car drivers who yield(让路)to emergency vehicles on busy downtown streets.In fact,it's against the law for drivers not to yield.
To yield means to give away or,more specifically,to get out of the wayAs yet,China doesn't have any specific laws that require drivers to yield,whether it is for slower cars to move over to the inside lane of a highway or for all cars to give way to emergency vehiclesDrivers did not yield when they heard the ambulance's siren.
In Canada,failing to yield to an ambulance vehicle can result in a fine of 400 2,000 and reduction of three points off your license.That's for a first offense.
This punishment is severe because lives are in danger.
A.It has resulted in many lives being saved.
B.A second offense results in a bigger fine,the loss of your driver's license for two years and a possible jail sentence.
C.It saves lives and,who knows,someday it may save your own.
D.Three minutes later,sirens(警报)are heard in the distance as a police car,an ambulance and a fire truck race to the area.
E.It means pulling to the side of the road to let others pass.

【题目】Why doesn’t the conductor face the audience?1As the only person with his back to the audience, the conductor is a figure who is bathed in the spotlight, but his complex work requires a high degree of musical skill, as well as an ability to extract what he desires out of the group of artists he leads--his orchestra.

2A person may become a conductor without graduating from the conducting department of a music school or studying in any kind of conductor’s training program. However, becoming the conductor of a famous orchestra requires a great deal more than what is needed merely to join an orchestra.

3These naturally examine a conductor’s technique and musical interpretation while he conducts an orchestra through a prepared piece of music, but they also involve a sight-reading element.4The conductor then has to sit in a room and memorize the piece before coming out and leading the orchestra through the piece by memory. Not only does the conductor have to make his arm and hand motion properly, and signal all the entrances of each instrument, he has to point out intentional mistakes made by the orchestra members on the spot.

The least capabilities a conductor must have are: The ability to memorize an entire score. A good ear for distinguishing correct notes among the music of the entire orchestra.5

Of the conductors that meet these requirements, those with better musical insight and a higher level of charisma(魅力) will succeed.

A. The need for a common musical standard becomes necessary

B. The ability to lead a group of professional musicians

C. There are many conducting competitions

D. For this, the score of music is given to the conductor on site

E. This is how the role of the conductor came to be established

F. The role of the conductor is in fact not well understood

G. There are no examinations for becoming a conductor

【题目】We all know what it means when a nice envelope lands in your mailbox: Someone’s getting married, and they’re hoping that you can be there for the big day. While saying yes to the invitation is a relatively straightforward process, things can get a bit awkward if you’re not so sure about attending. 1. To help you get out of these formal engagements without feeling awkward, we’ve consulted Katie Balmer, a leading wedding expert in Scotland.

Follow the format

The level of formality should be informed by the way that the invitation was sent.2, you should decline via post. If the message came in an email, a simple email expressing your regrets will do.

Don’t put off your response

If you already know that you can’t make it for whatever reason, don’t hesitate to let the happy couple know why. “It is very important to respond in. good time.3,” says Balmer.

4

While it’s a nice gesture to offer a reason for your refusal, there’s no need to be extreme. A simple response will do, and it’s an especially bad idea to emphasize your reason if it’s cost-related. It will establish nothing beyond making the couple feel bad.

Don’t change your decision

5, it is important to stick to that decision. “Going back and forth only adds to the inconvenience for the soon-to-be newlyweds,” says Balmer. “As long as you are honest and timely, the bride and groom should understand.”

A. Make it up to the couple

B. Be brief in your explanation

C. If the offer was sent to you by mail

D. Do not leave it until the last possible moment

E. Once the decision not to attend the wedding has been decided

F. Otherwise, you risk adding to the couplers last-minute wedding stress

G. Turning down a wedding is a situation where you can feel very personal
