27、 It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收费站).“I’m paying for myself,and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare."
It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith,had read something on a friend's refrigerator: "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty." The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.
Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. "I thought it was beautiful," she said, explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, "like a message from above." Her husband,Frank,liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper,admitting that though she liked it,she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant.
Two days later. Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.
“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly." Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, "Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can."
The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid,who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly,with every single act. Let it be yours!
【1】Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?
A.She knew the car drivers well.
B.She wanted to show kindness.
C.She hoped to please others.
D.She had seven tickets.
【2】Which of the following statements is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?
A.Kindness and violence can change the world.
B.Kindness and violence can affect one's behaviour.
C.Kindness and violence can shape one's character.
D.Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.
【3】Who came up with the phrase according to the passage?
A.Judy Foreman.
B.Natalie Smith.
C.Anne Herbert.
D.Alice Johnson.
28、12-year-old John Thomas Robertson is a born train fan. “I’ve liked trains probably from the day I was born,” he told Good Morning America. “When I was very little,” he said, “my grandpa got me a train model. I would just watch it go round for hours and hours.”
When Robertson finally had the opportunity to ride on a train, he felt great. His journey was so mind-blowing that he couldn’t keep it to himself: he decided to take all his classmates to go on a ride with him. When he found that some of his classmates couldn’t pay the fares, he spent money he had saved by collecting cans(罐子)and bottles and raised more than $1,000 for them.
That train was such a happy one that he made it yearly action. “It never gets boring for some reason; it’s just very fun,” he said. “It really lets people get away from their busy life and have fun.”
Every October, Robertson takes a new group of disabled children to ride the train — but now, he has a problem. Several disabled children were refused because the train was not accessible(可用的)to disabled people. “He was angry to think that children of his own age couldn’t ride a train,” his mother said.
But he wouldn’t say no: he recently sent a letter to the train office for help. To his surprise, the leader, Ty Pennington, took the letter seriously. He said that he and his workers would work on making a train accessible to disabled people.

29、By the end of the year, editors of New York Times have picked the 3 best books of 2019, including fiction and non-fiction. Let’s see which one will take your fancy.
No Visible Bruises
By Rachel Louise Snyder
Snyder’s thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization has called “a global health problem”. In America alone, more than half of all murdered women are killed by a current or former life partner; family violence cuts across lines of class, religion and race. She doesn’t give easy answers but presents a wealth of information that is its own form of hope.
Midnight in Chernobyl
By Adam Higginbotham
Higginbotham’s superb account of the April 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about science and technology that read like a tension-filled thriller. Filled with vivid details and personalities, this narrative of astonishing incompetence (无能;不胜任) moves from mistake to mistake, as it builds to the history-changing misadventure.
Exhalation
By Ted Chiang
Many of the nine deeply beautiful stories in this collection explore the material consequences of time travel. Reading them feels like sitting at dinner with a friend who explains scientific theory to you. Each thoughtful story poses a philosophical question; Chiang arranges all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having travelled through great areas.
【1】Which of the following tells about the violence from a husband to a wife in a family?
A.Disappearing Earth
B.No Visible Bruises
C.Midnight in Chernobyl
D.Exhalation

B.Awkward.
C.Tense.
D.Calm.
【3】What kind of book is Exhalation?
