2、Complete the following passage with the words or phrases in the box. Each word or phrase can only be used once.

More Than a Ride to School

The National Education Association claims, “The school bus is a mirror of the community.” They further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community. They are right—sometimes it reflects more! Just ask Liesl Denson. Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to school for Liesl. Bruce Hardy. school bus driver for Althouse BUS Company has been Liesl’s bus driver since kindergarten. Last year when Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg, 【1】 her bus went by her new residence, she requested to ride the same bus.

This year Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus. She says, “It’s been a great ride 【2】! My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a good listener. Sometimes when you’re a child, adults do not think that what you have to say is important. Mr. Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel important.” Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree 【3】 what Liesl said. Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975. This year he will celebrate 40 years working for Althouse Bus Company. Larry Althouse, president of the company, acknowledges Bruce Hardy’s outstanding record, “You do not come by employees like Bruce these days. He has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record. He was recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000 accident-free miles. Hardy’s reputation is made 【4】 evident through the relationships he has made with the students that ride his bus.”

Althouse further adds, “Althouse Bus Company was established 70 years ago and has been providing quality transportation 【5】. My grandfather started the business with one bus. Althouse Bus Company is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come.”

Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed. Thanks 【6】 drivers like Bruce Hardy, they have been building relationships through generations, Liesl’s mother Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy’s bus to the Octorara School District.

21、The science teacher, Mr. Litmus, asked his students to study animals at the weekend. They could write a short report, and share it with the rest of class. In the Monday’s science class, some talked about dogs, others about horses, some chose fish. But the most interesting story of all was made by little Sophie.

“I found that flies are terribly bad-tempered(脾气坏的)”, she said.

Everyone smiled, waiting for her to continue. Then Sophie said, “I spent hours in my house watching flies. When they found a window, they would really start buzzing(嗡嗡响), but they don’t. A further watch let me see clearly that in fact they were shouting and crying. They were angry that they couldn’t fly out of the window. A butterfly tried to tell them that the top of the window was open, but the flies didn’t listen and just kept on shouting and complaining.”

Mr. Litmus laughed and told the class that the flies’ action had nothing to do with anger. Instead, it was an example of animals having different intelligence(智力). They agreed that the next day they would write down the order of animals’ intelligence.

The next day, many parents had to come to the science class and complain, because their children thought their parents were among the least intelligent of animals! The children said this was because the parents often did nothing but complain and they never listened to anyone.

Mr. Litmus had to calm down quite a few parents. This really helped some of them realize that they often do things not very cleverly.
