I just sat there __24__ they talked on and all I could think was, “I’ve __25__. ” I’d been so well respected; __26__ I was of no value.

       For six weeks, I was in a very __27__ place. I wandered around my house like a zombie(僵尸). I could __28__ things needed doing, but would not do anything. My beliefs in looking forward and seeing the positive(積極的) in everything __29__ me.

Cities alarmed by deaths and injuries of pedestrians are taking efforts to make crosswalks safer for people on foot, especially seniors and children who need more time to cross streets.

  A pedestrian is killed in a traffic accident in the USA every 110 minutes; one is injured every nine minutes, according to official data. Crosswalks can be especially dangerous for the elderly. Among people 70 and older, 36% of pedestrian deaths in 2006 occurred in crosswalks, compared   with 21% of those younger than 70, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

   The Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) advise that next year states increase by nearly 15% the amount of  time traffic lights provide for pedestrians to cross the street after the flashing orange hand appears.

FHWA spokesman Doug Hecox says reasons for the change include an aging population that needs more time to cross, health-conscious Americans walking more, children encouraged to walk to prevent getting overweight and high gas prices pushing people to walk instead of drive.

Pedestrian deaths went down by 12% from 5,449 in 1996 to 4,784 in 2006, Bur among those in 2006, 471 were killed in crosswalks, down slightly from 488 ten years earlier, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA) says.

53. Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. Among 100 pedestrian deaths there were 21 people younger than 70

B. Old people are more likely to meet with accidents happened per hour.

C. Traffic accidents killed more old people than young people

D. About seven traffic accidents happened per hour.

54. What is FHWA’s suggestion to states?

A. Fixing more traffic lights

B. Providing more crosswalks

C. Giving pedestrians more time to cross streets.

D. Drivers don’t give way

56. The report from NHTSA suggests that         

A. fewer people were injured in crosswalks

B. crosswalk safety has been greatly improved

C. much has been done to reduce traffic accidents

D. pedestrian deaths in crosswalks remain a serious problem

Hey there,

So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents’ money.  and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?

Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.

Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.

* Researching Schools. To us. the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits your best — not the once that is the most competitive（有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的）or has the best-equipped rooms.

* Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com.  you’ll find hundreds of actual college application（申請(qǐng)）and links to many more.

* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is once of the most important parts of the admission（錄取）course. It’s not the most important, though and everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you can do better, find the right course for better scores.

*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

All too often, a choice that seems sustainable(可持續(xù)的)turns out on closer examination to be problematic. Probably the best example is the rush to produce ethanol(乙醇) for fuel from corn. Corn is a renewable resource —you can harvest it and grow more, almost limitlessly. So replacing gas with corn ethanol seems like a great idea.

   One might get a bit more energy out of the ethanol than that used to make it, which could still make ethanol more sustainable than gas generally, but that’s not the end of the problem. Using corn to make ethanol means less corn is left to feed animals and people, which drives up the cost of food. That result leads to turning the fallow land –including, in some cases, rain forest in places such as Brazil—into farmland, which in turn gives off lots of carbon dioxide (CO) into the air. Finally, over many years, the energy benefit from burning ethanol would make up for the forest loss. But by then, climate change would have progressed so far that it might not help.

   You cannot really declare any practice “sustainable” until you have done a complete life-cycle analysis of its environmental(環(huán)境的) costs. Even then, technology and public keep developing, and that development can lead to unforeseen and undesired results. The admirable goal of living       sustainably requires plenty of thought on an ongoing basis.

57. What might directly cause the loss of the forest according to the text?

A. The growing demand for energy to make ethanol

B. The increasing carbon dioxide in the air

C. The greater need for farmland

D. The big change in weather.

58. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “           ”

A. the energy benefit                       B. the forest loss

C. climate change                         D. burning ethanol

59. The author thinks that replacing gas with corn ethanol is           .

A. impractical         B. acceptable        C. admirable          D. useless

60. What does the author mainly discuss in the text?

A. Technology                            B. Sustainability  

C. Ethanol energy                         D. Environmental protection
