学科网（北京）股份有限公司Banpo Primary School in Guizhou, China is on a mountain.
The path(小路) to school was bullt about forty years ago and it
is very narrow and dangerous. The children have to walk in a
line. When they meet somebody, they have to stand against the
mountain while the person passes. For their parents, it is very
worrying. Fortunately, the head teacher of the school walks with
the children every morning.
A group of children from Edu School in Sumatra,
Indonesia(印尼), have to cross a wide river every morning on
their way to school. The bridge across the river is broken, so
about twenty children have to walk across a rope. The rope is
ten metres above the water. After that, they have to walk ten
kilometres through the forest! And of course, at the end of the
school day, they have to do the same journey again on their way
home.
Children in Minh Hoa, Vietnam(越南) have to cross a river
on their way to and from school every day. There are no bridges
or boats, so the children swim. The children put the books and
clothes in large plastic bags so they do not get wet. The bags
also help them to stay safe in the water (the water is 20 metres
deep). When they reach the other side, they take their dry
clothes out of the bag and put them on.
Near Bogota, the capital of Colombia(哥伦比亚), some
children have to cross a large valley to get to school. At the
bottom of the valley is the Rio Negro, a huge river. There is
only one way to cross the valley on a zip wire. That’s a metal
rope, 800 metres long and 400 metres above the river. The
journey is very fast. In fact, it only takes about one minute!
Small children cannot travel across the valley by themselves, so
their brother or sister puts them in a bag!
39. Some children ________ have to walk along a dangerous path to school.
A. in Minh Hoa, Vietnam B. in Guizhou, China C. in Sumatra, Indonesia D. near Bogota, Colombia

Answer the questions. (根据短文内容回答下列问题)
It was about 2:00 am. I was driving my taxi on the way to pick up a passenger. When I arrived to collect, I
found the building was dark. I just saw a single light in a ground floor window, I walked to the door and knocked,
“Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long silence, the door opened and a small woman in her eighties stood before me. She has a small
suitcase beside her. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help her. She took my arm and walked slowly
toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness.
“It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good young man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then
asked, “Could you drive through city center?”
“It’s not the shortest way.” I answered immediately.
“Oh, I’m familiar with the city. And I’m in no hurry.” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I
don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long. It would be the last time for me to travel around
the city...”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She
showed me the building where she had once worked as a lift operator and the neighborhood where she had lived in.
And she also told me to park in front of a furniture shop that once had been a ball room. She had gone dancing
there as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building. She just sat and stared into the
darkness, saying nothing. At dawn(黎明), she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me. “How much shall I pay you?” she asked, “Nothing.” I
replied.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I said.
Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly with tears. Our hug ended with her words,
“ 6 ”
