Every day in China, about 200 million children go to school. Many of them take school buses. What should we do to keep these students safe on the road?
On April 5, the State Council (国务院) published new rules about school bus safety. These new rules are much stricter than the old ones.
Under the new rules, local governments must make sure that students attend nearby schools or boarding (寄宿的) schools to reduce traffic risks. Also, local governments must help kids in the countryside reach their school buses.
From now on, school buses have a speed limit of 80km per hour on highways and 60km per hour on normal roads. While on the road, other cars must let school buses go first.The new rules also say that school buses must never be overloaded (超载的).  
There are many other rules as well. A school bus must have more than seven seats. On each bus, there must be at least one adult to keep an eye on the kids. Each school bus must have a fire extinguisher (灭火器), a first aid kit (急救箱) and a GPS.
Last year, a series of school bus accidents happened in China. To stop such accidents, the Central Government decided to strengthen the rules for school buses.
The most serious accident happened in November in Gansu, when a nine-seat minibus crashed. There were 62 children inside, and 21 of them died.
【小题1】Under the new rules, which of the following is NOT true?

 With a determined(坚定的) look on his face, Chicago’s Michael McCarthy held on to the banister(扶手) and climbed to the top of the Willis Tower not long ago. The Tower stands 1,451 feet(442 meters) tall, the＿21＿ building in the US.

 As he got to the last step, McCarthy ＿22＿ fell down, but that didn’t stop him. The 14-year-old boy finally finished climbing the 2,109 steps and arrived at the top, where he ＿23＿ cheers from many people.

“I just want to show people that ＿24＿ a kid with no legs can do it, anyone can do it,” McCarthy said.

McCarthy, who was born without legs, has to wear prosthetic legs(假肢) and use a stick to walk. But McCarthy has a strong 25  . He believes having a disability(残疾) shouldn’t stop anyone  26   achieving his or her success.

He has been in a special school  27   he was four. When he decided to climb the Willis Tower, his teacher, Jeff Kohn, was   28   by his determination(决心) and offered to help train him. They   29   more than ten hours practicing climbing stairs and keeping balance with the prosthetics and sticks on the steps every day. “  30   seems that he never knows how difficult it is.  31   I was so tired that I asked him to rest for a day,”said Kohn. “But he said he was still full of energy and wanted more  32  .”

Kohn always walked with McCarthy for the climb. “I   33   the last 10 floors, he went faster,” said Kohn. “He’s the most craven sportsman I’ve ever trained.”

McCarthy said he was   34   of himself and that the tower now holds special meaning. “When I’m older, I’ll   35   to the building and say ‘Look at this building I climbed’,” he said.
