When do you put your index finger against your lips and say “Shush!”? Usually, you: do this when you want to tell people to be quiet.

A new sculpture (雕像) by the Hudson River is trying to deliver: exactly this message: With her index finger pressed to her lips, the giant woman's head seems to be calling on people in Manhattan—one of the world's busiest :( and noisiest 1) areas to rethink the pace(节奏) of their lives. “Stop and listen,” said its creator, the Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. “Listen to the water talking to us. When it moves, the water makes a special sound, very special. Few: people ever pay attention to it.”

Plensa started working on the sculpture two years ago. He calls it the most beautiful piece he has ever completed. The sculpture is so large (it's 24 metres tall): that people all across Manhattan can see it. Some people have watched it being put together since August. They wonder why the woman seems to be shushing. “I'd say it's telling New: York City to keep this area a secret,” said a local citizen. “We don't want to drive more people to work here.”

Plensa says that by creating the sculpture, he is not just sending a message to Manhattan. “I'm targeting the ‘noise’ from the outside world, the said, “Close your eyes and look inside yourself. Try to listen to your own thoughts and your own dreams in this noisy time. Everyone has an amazing amount of beauty hidden inside of them.”

C. To make people slow down the pace of their lives.

D. To stop people enjoying the special sound of the river.

It was the middle of winter about 30 years ago. I was a young father with three little children depending on me. I worked in; a sawmill (锯木厂).

As I got ready to go to work, I wrapped bandages (创可贴) around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and stacking wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split (裂开) and blood can be seen at their tips in the cold, dry winter air.

That day at work was harder than normal. We were short-handed on workers. So we had to do more work than usual. Besides, the machines kept breaking down, so we had to rush to repair them again and again. On top of that, all the heaters in the building had stopped working and we could see our breath as we spent hours working there!

When the work day finally ended, I walked wearily toward the washroom, took off my work gloves, and checked my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and blood came through the bandages again I felt so tired. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.

After driving home, I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened the front door but instead, one appeared surprisingly, smiling at me and yelling “Daddy!” and put her little arms around my neck. I lifted my daughter up and my heart was filled with love. My tired body didn't feel so tired anymore. My-aches and pains disappeared into her hug. And the joy in my heart chased the sadness away. At that moment I kissed my little girl's face and held her tightly. I knew I could continue and things would get better.

8. How do you understand the underlined sentence?

A. The workers didn't have hands.

B. The hands of the workers were small.

C. The number of the workers was not enough.

D. The length of the workers hand was not enough.

9. What's the main purpose of the fourth paragraph?

A. To tell us how hard-working the father was.

B. To tell us how to deal with the problems in your work.

C. To give some facts about the working conditions of the father.

D. To show the father's awful and tiring feelings towards the hard life.

10. What does the underlined word “one” refer to in the last paragraph?

A. A smile. B. His daughter. C. The door. D. His heart.

11. In the story, the author wants to express that ______.

A. it is better not to work for so long  B. it is important for kids to study hard

C. the father felt hopeless about his life  D. family can give us warm and support

D

Are you thinking about travelling alone? You must have a million questions: Where should you go? Will there be someone to talk to? How do you stay safe? And is it all right to travel alone?

In fact, travelling alone is not as scary as it seems. Here are some good tips.

Choose a place where you feel comfortable and safe

Truth be told, travelling alone for the first time is more about, the experience than the destination.   12   It could be somewhere close to home or somewhere you've already been with friends.

Make a plan

Always make a plan. That way you'll avoid worrying too much over where you're staying, what to see and how you're getting from A to B.

Book hotels ahead of time

  13   Besides, when you book your hotel, ask if they will send a driver to pick you up.

Talk to people

If you're going to a touristy-place like Thailand, there are lots of other people who are travelling alone. Most likely, they'll be easy to talk to and they'll want to communicate.   14   That happens a lot.

Let someone know where you are

Your family and friends love you and probably worry about you every day, so text them and let them know what you're up to throughout your trip.   15   And in case something did happen, they'll know where you are.

根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。

A. That will make you and them feel safer.

B. The first thing you need to do is believe in yourself.

C. They might also ask you to join them for dinner or a beer.

D. This can make you less nervous when you're travelling alone for the first time.

E. So make sure to choose a place which you feel comfortable with.

Li Dongju, a 65-year-old woman from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, has cycled to different cities. in China as well as 12 countries around the world.
