Italy has more must-see sights than you could squeeze into a lifetime. With so much to do and see, most visitors can’t wait to wander around, taking in everything. Fortunately, getting around this slender, boot-shaped country is easy, thanks to superb transport services. Here’s what you need to know about getting around in Italy.

Travel by train for the stunning views in Italy

Italy boasts an extensive rail network spanning the length of the country, meaning most major cities-including Rome, Florence, Naples, Bologna and Palermo-are connected by regular train services. Best of all, you can sit back and soak in the gorgeous scenery in between them.

Buses are the most inexpensive way to explore Italy

Though slower than trains, buses are a cheaper form of transport in Italy, and they provide access to smaller towns and villages not served by Italy’s rail network. Buses are run by private companies with a web of routes that stretches to most places of the country.

Getting around by car means maximum freedom

Having a private vehicle in Italy means you can travel at your own pace and visit regions with minimal public transport, which is particularly handy in the mountains. Parking can be hard to find in urban areas and local drivers have a reputation for being impatient and quick to use their horns.

Cycling is a great way to explore the countryside in Italy

Cycling is a great way to explore every comer of villages and backroads in the countryside. It’s very popular in northern Italy, including in the Alps and Dolomites, but less so in the south. Bikes are not allowed on motorways but they can be carried on some ferries, and on regional trains displaying the bicycle logo.

1. Which means of transport can take visitors to most major cities?

A. Taking a train. B. Taking a bus.

C. Driving a car. D. Riding a bicycle.

2. What can travelers do by bike in Italy?

A. Cross cities in a convenient way.

B. Explore the countryside in depth.

C. Travel everywhere at their own pace.

D. Admire natural scenery with comfort.

3. Where is the text most probably taken from?

A. A transport guide.

B. A travel website.

C. A geography textbook.

D. A tourism advertisement.

B

I work at a company that has a large number of employees. I can’t say that I know them all by name, but I know my fair share of them and almost all of them know me. I’d say that’s the reason I’ve been able to reach this far in my career. It’s all based on one simple principle: I believe that every single person should be recognized, however small or simple that greeting is.

When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee while I was busy throwing a rock towards the stop sign. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, “Promise me this will be your last time to walk by somebody and not open up your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” That phrase sounds simple, yet influential enough to shape who I am.

At work, I always used to say hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. After a few years of passing by the founder, I had the courage to ask him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”

Now I’ve become vice president but that hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has their head down but lifts it up and smiles, you realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say, “Hello.”

4. Why did the author pay no attention to Mr. Lee?

A. He had rude manners.

B. He could meet Mr. Lee regularly.

C. He was shy with adults.

D. He focused on throwing a rock busily.

5. What did the mother’s words imply?

A. It was necessary to bring a dog.

B. Never speak to strangers on the street.

C. It was worthwhile to befriend Mr. Lee.

D Never pass anybody without greetings.

6. What do the underlined words “this seat” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A. An empty seat in the office.

B. An important business deal.

C. The post of vice president on the board.

D. The position of the founder of the company.

7. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. The Power of Hello

B. My Road to Success

C. The Influence from My Mom

D. My Advice on Career

C

A recent study conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) showed that while sportsmanship among players has improved over the years, sportsmanship in the fans and parents has reduced. It has always interested me why people in the stands often feel they have invested more than the actual participants. Is it the time and money invested into private lessons and travel teams? Is it the college scholarship we need our children to earn? Is it the fear of seeing our kids fail? In any event, we, as parents and fans, should all take a step back and determine if we are helping our kids, or undermining the experience.

As a father of four kids who enjoys participating in athletics, I have to remind myself that it is okay when my kid misses a shot, strikes out, or doesn’t play good enough defense. That fact is, it is their game and their experience, and my playing days are over. A good reminder for me when I feel that my kid needs my advice from the stands comes from the great John Wooden, basketball player and head coach at the University of California at Los Angeles. He once said, “Young people need models, not critics (批判者) .”

Instead of being upset with what my kid is not doing well, or how an official has “cheated” our team, I should focus on helping my kid learn to respect the other team. I should watch my language and the negative comments that could come from my mouth. I should respect the officials and not argue every call that is made. Perhaps most importantly, I should support my kids’ team, win or lose.

Life is tough, and life is not fair. Like life, sports are tough and not always fair. Yet sports can be a wonderful training ground for life’s challenges. Just like we win some and lose some in sports, we also deal with plenty of successes, challenges and failures in our lives. Let’s try to be good sports in both the winning and losing situations and during our successes, challenges and failures.

8. Why does the author mention NCAA’s recent study?

A. To introduce the topic of sportsmanship.

B. To prove the reduction of sportsmanship.

C. To stress the experience of sportsmanship

D. To show the improvement of sportsmanship

9. What does the underlined word “invested” mean in paragraph 1?

A. Profited. B. Absorbed. C. Devoted. D. Harvested.

10. What should parents do to encourage sportsmanship according to the text?

A. Express deep concern about the other teams’ skills.

B. Make positive comments on their kids’ performance.

C. Back their kids’ team whatever the result of athletics is.

D. Respect the other players’ honor whatever cheating happens.

11. Which words can best describe the author?

A. Modest and demanding.

B. Strict and responsible.

C. Kind and warm-hearted.

D. Understanding and broad-minded.

D

The idea of humans causing earthquakes may seem strange at first. After all, you can run around your backyard and jump up and down all you want, and the ground isn’t going to start shaking. However, scientists have identified over 700 places where human activity has brought about earthquakes over the last century.

While many human-caused earthquakes are mild and don’t cause much damage, some of them can be serious and dangerous. In fact, scientists believe human activity has caused earthquakes with magnitudes as high as 7.9 on the Richter scale.

Scientists believe most human-caused earthquakes are the result of mining. As companies drill deeper and deeper below Earth’s surface to take out natural resources, holes left behind can cause instability which leads to a sudden falling down that causes earthquakes. Building large dams can also cause earthquakes. For example, about 80,000 people died in China in 2008 as a result of a 7.9-magnitude earthquake caused by 320 million tons of water that had been collected in the Zipingpu Reservoir after a large dam was built over a known fault line(断层线).

Anther human activity leading to earthquakes is hydraulic fracturing (水力压裂) for oil and gas. In this process, water, sand, and chemicals are forced to flow underground under high pressure to fracture rocks to let natural resources out. As those resources, such as oil and natural gas, make their way to the surface, so do the water and chemicals that were injected to begin the process. This wastewater is collected and often transported to deep underground again. Both the fracking process and wastewater have been shown to cause earthquakes.

These aren’t the only human activities that can cause earthquakes, though. Scientists point out that earthquakes can also be caused by other human activities.

12. How does human activity cause earthquakes according to the text?

A. Large dams are built away from the fault line.

B. The wastewater of hydraulic fracturing joins large rivers.

C. Mining leads to the deeper holes left below the Earth’s surface.

D. Hydraulic fracturing makes natural resources flow underground.

13. How does the author organize the text?

A. By giving examples.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By presenting opinions.

D. By providing instructions.

14. What is the writing purpose of the text?

A. To remind people to stop the above-mentioned activities.

B. To inform readers of human activities causing earthquakes.

C. To explain the reasons for many earthquakes in recent years.

D. To present the damage of human-caused earthquakes to the earth.
