My motivation for starting our family tradition of reading in the car was purely
selfish：I could not bear listening to A Sesame Street Christmas for another 10
hours.My three children had been addicted to this cassette on our previous summer’s
road trip.
As I began to prepare for our next 500－mile car trip，I came across a book—
Jim Trelease’s The Read Aloud Handbook.This could be the answer to my
problem，I thought.So I put Roald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach into my
bag.When I began to read aloud the tale of the boy who escapes the bad guys by
hiding inside a giant peach，my three kids argued and wrestled in their seats.But after
several lines，they were attracted into the rhythm of the words and began to listen.
We soon learned that the simple pleasure of listening to a well－written book
makes the long miles pass more quickly.Sometimes the books we read became
highlights of the trip.I read Wilson Rawls’s Summer of the Monkeys as we spent
two days driving to the beach.We arrived just behind the power crews restoring (恢
复) electricity after a tropical storm.The rain continued most of the week，and the
beach was covered with oil washed up by the storm.When we returned home，I asked
my son what he liked about the trip.He answered without hesitation，“The book youread in the car.”
Road trips still offer challenges，even though my children now are teenagers.But
we continue to read as we roll across the country.And I’m beginning to see that
reading aloud has done more than help pass the time.For at least a little while，we are
not shut in our own electronic worlds.And maybe we’ve started something that will
pass on to the next generation.

B.They enjoyed reading on the road.
C.They had a good time on the beach.
D.They thought it had passed too quickly.
7.Which can be the best title for the text?

On a tram smoothly pulling into the heart of Luxembourg City，Marck gives a
smile and takes a look at the fabric of the seat next to him.For him，the city’s trams
are more than just transport.More even than the focus of his job.They are about
transforming his country and，perhaps，changing the world.
Marck is the director general of Luxtram，Luxembourg’s modern trams.It firststarted running services two years ago.Next year ，Luxembourg will become the
world’s only country to get rid of fares on all its forms of public
transport.Luxembourg’s traffic problems come from its army of workers.The
population of the capital city almost doubles during the working day，when more
than 110，000 people travel in and out.
After three decades when its roads have become so crowded，Luxembourg is
going to do something remarkable.Free fares，and a plan to persuade people to
switch from cars to trams or trains.Marck，along with many others，is excited to see
what happens next.“The fact that this is free means that everyone can use it—young
or old，rich or poor，” he said.“Everyone can say to themselves it’s better to leave
the car at home.We must continue to improve and extend the network.It must always
be comfortable，well－connected and efficient.”
Lydie Polfer，the city’s mayor，says she hopes to reach the point where more
than a third of people come into the city using public transport—at the moment，it’s
less than one in five.She said，“It’s not practical to ban cars because some people，
like the elderly，need them.But everyone has to be aware that he or she can do
something to improve the situation.There is an expression in German—you are not in
the traffic jam—you are the traffic jam，and that is true.I think that making it free
will be the biggest argument for people to use public transport.”
8.Why does Marck think the city’s trams are more than just transport?
A.The trams are his goal that he strives for.
B.There are more means of transportation than trams.
C.City’s trams bring more changes beyond transport.
D.The trams are the heart of Luxembourg City transport system.
9.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The cause of the traffic problems.
B.The means of public transport.
C.The development of running services.
D.The increase of working population.
10.What concerns people most when using the public transport?A.The convenience. B.The fare.
C.The comfort. D.The efficiency.
11.What can be inferred from what Lydie Polfer said?
A.The elderly needn’t use public transport.
B.It’s possible to persuade most people to use the trams.
C.Everyone can do his part to improve transport situation.
D.Those who don’t take public transport cause traffic jams.

Local officials in Beijing promised to further protect the city’s cultural heritage
(遗产)，in particular the narrow streets known as hutong.

risk.Beijing is currently believed to have fewer than 1，000 hutongs，most of which

districts of Dongcheng and Xicheng，some people will be asked to move from

back as the Yuan Dynasty (1271－1368).“The most efficient way is to decrease the
local population to reduce the possibility of causing harm to the heritage.”

especially hutongs，and any actions to damage the heritage will be punished.”

Some of the best road trips are unplanned.You simply grab a few items，jump in
a car and set off.However，this approach involves some risk. 1 That’s why the
first rule of road trip planning is to bring along whatever you might need to have
fun.Some food，a guitar，and a cooler full of drinks can go a long way.Planning a road trip can be almost as fun as the trip itself.Some well－designed
travel guides may be of great help. 2 For the logically － minded ， the
management of speed ， fuel ， accommodation and timing details can present a
rewarding journey.
3 Highways make it possible to drive across an entire country without seeing
anything or meeting anyone.The more you skip freeways in favor of scenic
highways，the more you’re likely to get out of your trip.
Once you’ve figured out your plan roughly，fill in the details，and bear in mind
that maps and satellite navigation systems are not always up to date. 4
Remember，the more you prepare now，the better equipped you’ll be if you decide
to change your trip later or have to deal with an unforeseen problem.
Booking accommodation and having backup plans can make or break a trip，
especially if you want to visit some remote byways with limited accommodation
opportunities. 5 In some areas，especially the American West，gas stations can
be a hundred miles away.
A.You can find this information online.
B.You may end up in a boring part of town.
C.It’s good to take an emergency phone with you.
D.A quick look through them can fuel your inspiration.
E.Research as much as possible and cross－reference your sources.
F.When planning your route，consider what kinds of roads to take.
