  When my brother and I were young,my mum would take us on Transportation Days.

It goes like this： You can’t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from home,walking two blocks to the rail station. We’d take the train into the city centre,then a bus,switching to the tram,then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district,but we didn’t like the way the horses were treated,so we never did. At the end of the day,we took the subway to our closest station,where Mum’s friend was waiting to give us a ride home—our first car ride of the day.

  The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mum taught us how to get around. She was born to be multimodal (多方式的).She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of imagination and,above all,a failure of confidence—the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway tunnels.

  Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform,nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car,if you have one,becomes just one more tool in the toolbox—and often an inadequate one,limiting both your mobility and your wallet.

  On Transportation Days,we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy,but the transportation was the point. First,it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train window. As I got older,my mum helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed my first attempts to do it myself： How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs? How do I know when I need tickets,and where to get them? What track,what line,which direction,where’s the stop,and will I get wet when we go under the river?

  I’m writing this right now on an airplane,a means we didn’t try on our Transportation Days and,we now know,the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My multimodal mum met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.

(   ) 1. Which was forbidden by Mum on Transportation Days?

   A. Having a car ride.

   B. Taking the train twice.

   C. Buying more than one toy.

   D. Touring the historic district.

(   ) 2. According to the writer,what was the greatest benefit of her Transportation Days?

   A. Building confidence in herself.

   B. Reducing her use of private cars.

   C. Developing her sense of direction.

   D. Giving her knowledge about vehicles.

(   ) 3. The underlined word “paralyzed”(in Para. 5) is closest in meaning to      

   A. displayed   B. justified

   C. ignored   D. ruined

(   ) 4. Which means of transportation does the writer probably disapprove of?

   A. Airplane.

   B. Subway.

   C. Tram.

   D. Car.

  I was in my third year of teaching creative writing at a high school in New York,when one of my students,15-year-old Mikey,gave me a note from his mother. It explained his absence from class the day before.

  I had seen Mikey himself writing the note at his desk. Most parental-excuse notes I received were forged by my students. If I were to deal with them,I’d be busy 24 hours a day.

  The forged excuse notes made a large pile,with writing that ranged from imaginative to crazy. The writers of those notes didn’t realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull, “Peter was late because the alarm clock didn’t go off. ”

  Isn’t it remarkable,I thought,how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subject? But when they produced excuse notes,they were brilliant.

  So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said, “They’re supposed to be written by parents,but actually they are not. True,Mikey?” The students looked at me nervously.

“Now,this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note—the first class,ever,to practice writing them.

You’re so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study. ”

Everyone smiled as I went on, “You used your imaginations. So try more now. Today I’d like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God?. ” Heads went down. Pens raced across paper. For the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends. The next day everyone had excuse notes. Heated discussions followed. The headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down,looking at papers,and then said, “I’d like you to see me in my office. ”

  When I stepped into his office,he came to shake my hand and said, “I just want to tell you that that lesson,that task,whatever the hell you were doing,was great. Those kids were writing on the college level. Thank you. ”

(   ) 5. What did the author do with the students found dishonest?

   A. He reported them to the headmaster.

   B. He lectured them hard on honesty.

   C. He had them take notes before lunch.

   D. He helped improve their writing skills.

(   ) 6. The author had the students practice writing ex cuse notes so that the students could learn

   A. the importance of being honest

   B. how to write excuse notes skillfully

   C. the pleasure of creative writing

   D. how to be creative in writing

(   ) 7. The underlined word “forged” in the second para graph means "________"

   A. former   B. copied

   C. false   D. honest

(   ) 8. What did the headmaster think of the author’s way of teaching?

   A. Effective.

   B. Difficult.

   C. Misleading.

   D. Reasonable.

  The other day I was shopping for Grandma when I realized I had no gift ideas at all. It was not a birthday gift or anything like that. It was simply sort of a hello gift. That is how we do things in my family. We don’t really give gifts for special occasions. Instead,we occasionally just give presents to each other to tell other people that we are thinking about them.

  That was why I wanted a gift for Grandma. But it was like my imagination had dried up. I have gone through all of the gift ideas in previous years,fruits,wines,cheeses,little handmade crafts,and anything else that you can give to a grandmother. I had even given her watches,and CDs. What else was there?

  I have always found gift ideas for men a little bit easier than for women,because for men,you can always get the usual things,such as video games,power tools and things like that. With a woman’s gift idea,however,you have to know more about her. You cannot just get someone a book or a CD. You have to know all about her taste in movies,music,and literature.

  My grandmother likes to read a lot,but what she likes is always pretty popular. I didn’t want to get her a book that she might not like,but I was running out of time. I needed a gift idea for this weekend and went to visit her. After all,I hadn’t seen her for a long time. I wanted to give her a gift so she would not feel ignored.

  Finally,I came up with the perfect gift idea. I made a collection of all the stories I had written in the past year. It wasn’t a typical gift idea like a bunch of flowers,but it really worked in the situation. You see,I am a writer and my grandma has always been my fan.

  Anyway,I had been learning about bookbinding recently,and had pretty much mastered the art. I figured that I would add a little bit of handmade artwork to the stories,bind it altogether,and give it to her. It took hours to complete,but it was well worth the effort. She absolutely loved it.

(   ) 1. The writer chose a gift for Grandma to________.

   A. celebrate a special family occasion

   B. please her during a weekend visit

   C. congratulate her on her birthday

   D. beg her pardon for ignoring her

(   ) 2. What gift did the writer finally decide to give his grandma?

   A. Gift watches.

   B. A bunch of flowers.

   C. Artwork made by hand.

   D. Stories written by himself.

(   ) 3. How does the writer feel about giving gifts to women?

   A. Interesting.

   B. Challenging.

   C. Time-wasting.

   D. Popular.

(   ) 4. We can learn from the passage that________.

   A. the writer is a successful novelist

   B. most people are particular about gifts

   C. the writer’s grandma has a good taste in art

   D. the writer’s family will give gifts on regular days
