Hong Kong, major commercial center for Asia, and with a population which has grown at an alarming rate to over 5 million, is a city highly dependent on mass (大量的, 大规模的) transit of all sorts, both local and long distance. An ordinary Hong Kong worker or businessman, going about his daily activities, simply must use transportation at one time or another.
Because Hong Kong is in two parts, Kowloon, on the mainland side, and Hong Kong, the island, with Hong Kong's harbor in between Hong Kong's mass transit systems, in addition to going over land they must also cross water.
Going from home to work, or going shopping from one side of the harbor to the other, the Hong Kong resident has three choices. One way is to take a bus which will cross the harbor through an under water traffic tunnel moving slowly through bumper- to-bumper (一辆接一辆) traffic．Another way is by ferry boat , a pleasant ride which crosses the harbor in from seven to fifteen minutes.
But by far the fastest way of crossing the harbor is the newly built underground electric railway, the Hong Kong Metro(地铁). If one gets on the train in the Central District,the commercial area of Hong Kong on the island side, he can speed across the harbor in an astonishing three minutes. On the other side of the harbor the railway continues, snaking back and forth through the outlying districts of Kowloon, allowing one to get off a short distance from his destination.
The story of the Metro is an encouraging one for supporters of mass transit. Although building the system was certainly a challenging task, the Japanese firm hired to construct it did so in record time. Construction got underway in 1979 and it was completed in 1980.
For the average commuter (一般持月票往返两地的乘客) the system has only one disadvantage; it is more expensive than by bus or ferry. One can ride the bus across the harbor for half as much or he can ride the ferry across for less than one-fifth as much.
Hong Kong public transportation extends ________.
A．over hills and valleys B．across land and water
C．through mountains D．throughout the Kowloon area
Crossing the harbor by train is ________.
A．by far the most economical methods
B．the most pleasant method
C．the least pleasant method
D．the fastest method
The business area on the island side of Hong Kong is referred to as ________.
A．Kowloon B．the Central District
C．the Hong Kong Metro D．downtown Hong Kong
The underground railway ________.
A．winds through Kowloon B．ends when it reaches Kowloon
C．snakes across the harbor D．circles Kowloon

Pocket Tape – Recorders “Family and Home Magazine” test what’s on the market now.
Pearlcorder S702 $ 64
This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn’t turn off automatically.
Tape length：30 minutes per side. Weight：240g.
Sony M9 $ 49.95
Small and very good looking, Sony’s latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape – recorders. Doesn’t switch off automatically, but a red light shows if the machine is still running.
Tape length：60 minutes per side. Weight：195g.
Sony M400 $ 115
Lots of little control buttons that make a noise are difficult to use. Recording was good but machine noise lost points. Tape counter and automatic switch – off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.
Tape length：60 minutes per side. Weight：230g.
Imperial OEM MC7 $ 29.95
Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own – make of cassette. No light to show it is on；no fast – forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.
Tape length：30 minutes per side. Weight：285g.
Philips 585 $ 80
Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm – designed for dictation. No recording light.

When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farmstead, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that city life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basi
cs like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma（哮喘）, and at times the air is so dirty that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment. Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
【小题1】What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
| A．Staying on the farm. | B．Moving to the countryside. |
| C．Leaving home for the city. | D．Running away from the school. |
| A．He is very old now. | B．He is in good health. |
| C．He prefers driving a car. | D．He lives in the city now. |
| A．express his opinions about way of life |
| B．describe his life in the countryside |
| C．show an interest in the outside world |
| D．persuade the reader to live in the city |
| A．By inferring. | B．By comparing. |
| C．By listing examples. | D．By giving explanations. |

Two runners stand side by side at the starting line of a race. Both look very strong and fast. 21 one runner speeds ahead and wins the race. The other falls behind.

Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their 26 . But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as 27 . Careful study indicates that the best athletes win 28 because they think they can win.

One procedure that helps many athletes is creating 32 in the mind. They are told to think of each 33 they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful (富于幻想的). One skater liked to 34 a star bursting inside her,35 her with energy. Another athlete who wanted to feel 36 pictured himself as a 37 floating in the air.
Next time you want to do something well, try training your 38 to help you. Perhaps a teacher or another instructor can help you plan your training. If you imagine yourself doing better, you may soon see 39 in what you 40 can do. Positive thinking and pictures created in your mind can help you win!
