AWhat would it be like to walk on Mars? If you could build the h ighest building in the world，what would it look like? Do you dream of being the next J. K. Rowling? This summer, you can experience all of these things , and more. All you need is an Internet connection and your i magination.A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kid s spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day . Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends, play gam es or check emails. But the next time you get on the Web, tryexploring the world instead. “With the Internet，you can go back 11,000 years in time，or go 11,000 kilometers across the planet.” said Russell, Web search expert of Google. “The whole scope of history and the world is open to you.”There is a wealth of information to be found online. For exam ple, if your family is going on vacation somewhere, do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car. “Wh at's the background of the place; what's the history？” says R ussell. “I like to tell my kids, ‘Whenever you have a question, whenever you have a doubt, search it out.’”Ready to launch a virtual journey of your own? Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your wa y. You can invite your parents along for the ride, too. Always a sk for permission before downloading programs and software onto your computer. And check with a parent or an adult befor e visiting any new Web site.Navigate the world in 3D with Google Earth. Begin in outer sp ace and zoom (快速移动) into the streets of any city, from Hong Kong to San Franci sco. Or visit ancient monuments, watch the changing rainfore sts over time, and dive underwater to explore tropical reef. With the Moon in Google Earth tool, you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps. Take a guided tour of the moon's s urface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Al drin.When you're exploring that part of the solar system, hop on o ver to the Red Planet with Google Mars. There, you can move very quickly around the surface and see images from the Mar s Rovers.1．The author uses questions in the first paragraph to ______ __.A．introduce the topic of the paragraphB．attract the readers' attentionC．let the readers answer itD．question the possibility of realizing the dream2．How do you travel around the world in a day according to t he passage?A．By making use of the Internet.B．By taking the time shuttle.C．By finding a tourism company in Google.D．By watching 3D films.3．Russell thought ________.A．the students shouldn't chat and play games onlineB．the students spent too much time on the InternetC．the students should learn knowledge instead of chatting o nlineD．the students could solve their problems through the line 4．What's the purpose of the passage?A．Encourage the kids to learn to use the computer.

D．Encourage the kids to spend more time online.BRising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry a nd potentially harming sea life.Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been rese arching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades . “We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, an d we try and characterize longterm change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is C O2 levels. And we've been able to record this increasing quan tity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.”Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, moreand more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the o cean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.“As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid，” Dore explains. “A nd therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it driv es the PH down, and makes it more acidic.”The seawater samples Dore and his colleagues have analyze d confirm what the theory predicts.The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, a nd again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up wit h two possible explanations. It could be that surface water pic ked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.“It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming a cidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of s ea life from fish to coral. It's potentially catastrophic.”5．What can be the best title of the passage?A．Climate Change Affecting SeawaterB．Oceans Becoming More AcidicC．Sea Life Facing DangerD．Scientist Researching Seawater6．With the increase of atmospheric CO2，________. A．the surface water is becoming warmerB．more corals will appear in the seaC．the PH of the ocean out here has been increasing D．the chemical balance of the seawater is affected 7．Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life?a．Sea life is endangered.b．CO2 goes into the surface water.c．The ocean chemistry is affected.d．CO2 decreases the PH and makes the seawater more aci dic.e. CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up.A．a→e→b→c→d B．e→d→c→b→aC．e→b→c→d→a D．a→b→c→d→eCThe associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop lik e myself were never perfect; however, they were excellent. W orking with them as they improved taught me new ways to sh ow forgiveness, understanding, and patience.One day the placement officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that D avid was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview ju st for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions op en at the time and the interview was just for practice.When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him aro und. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability. David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in s chool). Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, Da vid walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door.One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded rig ht away or the driver would leave.It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitation s) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was sh orthanded. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looke d at him and shouted, “Well, all right! Fill out a time card and h elp me unload this truck！”David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He cam e to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk; howev er, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries . The customers would praise David, saying, “He doesn't talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower！”8．The author gave David an interview to ________.A．give him some practiceB．show sympathy for himC．find a person who is reliableD．find a parttime worker in need9．The author finally hired David because ________.A．He realized David was dependableB．there were no other workers in the shop thenC．he needed someone who was willing to work then D．David kept showing up10．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________. A．the author prefers David to be more outgoingB．the author feels lucky to hire DavidC．David has had his character changed through work D．some customers just play jokes on David第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

高二英语上学期期末试题第Ⅰ卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AI have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania was unique. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. He has n’t seen his family since he was 16.When we reached Bucharest, his family was waiting outside to greet us. After a lot of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also embraced (拥抱) me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. His family loved our gifts. We made trips to the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains. Eating at outdoor cafes to the sound of gypsy violins was very different, but nothing was as unforgettable as family dinners.Most Romanian homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers. It was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dir tying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was surprising: The women had dinner in their bras (文胸) and slips (衬裙). The men were shirtless. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Disrobing (脱去衣服) for dinner was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of doing laundry – at least in their household, and perhaps all across Romania. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed.On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. The table applauded. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying: “She’s part of our family now.”21. When the author arr ived in her husband’s hometown, _____.A. his family showed no respect for her at firstB. she intended to talk to his family in EnglishC. she got extra attention from his family for her nationalityD. she found that she hadn’t brought enough gifts for hi s family22. What surprised the author most during her visit to her husband’s family?A. Most of his family members didn’t travel a lot at the time.B. Women in his family had dinner in only their underclothes.C. Most of her husband’s relatives didn’t lik e doing laundry.D. They had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers at home.23. On the last night of the author’s stay, the family applauded her because _____.A. the author disrobed for dinner as the family didB. they just wanted to show their love for the authorC. the author could finally understand them easilyD. it was time for the author to give a speechBHOW many of you have used rock, paper, scissors (RPS) as a “fair” way to settle something? If you think it is a game of chance, think again, according to scientists. RPS is a game as popular in the East as it is in the West. The rules are the same: Two players make one of the three hand signs. To decide the winner, rock breaks scissors, scissors cut paper, and paper covers rock.Many of us play with no game plan in mind. But researchers have worked out several winning patterns. The World Rock Paper Scissors Society holds tournaments (联赛) in Toronto, Canada. According to their data, players choose rock (35.4 percent) and paper (35 percent) more than scissors (29.6 percent).If your opponent is a man or an angry person, it’s quite possible they will start the game with rock, researchers have found. If your opponent is a woman or a beginner, you should expect them to start with scissors.Earlier this year, Chinese scientists asked 360 students to compete in a RPS tournament at Zhejiang University. Scientists found that winners tend to choose the same action they won with, while the loser tends to change to the next action in the order of rock, scissors, paper. This is called the “win-stay lose-change” strategy(策略). Humans use this strategy in many competitive situations.Expert RPS players have many other techniques.Monica Martinez, 2008 winner of the World RPS Tournament, said that she read faces.“I didn’t worry about what I was going to do, I just did wha t I thought they were going to do,” she told The Telegraph. If your friends are similar experts, learn from Jonathan Monaco, winner of the 2009 USA RPS Tournament. He wears dark sunglasses to cover his expressions during the game.Remember, the strategy for playing RPS depends on how skilled your opponent is. But if you’re looking for a quick, simple winning rule for a match, choose paper. Scissors is the least popular choice, and men favor rock. Both are reasons to choose paper.24. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The popularity of RPS games around the world.B. The general rules of RPS games.C. A game plan for RPS games.D. The fairness of RPS games.25. According to the article, researchers worked out some winning patterns for RPS games mainly by _______.A. studying the rules of the gameB. analyzing game dataC. interviewing expert playersD. organizing major tournaments26. Which of the following statements about Monica Martinez is TRUE according to the article?A. She likes to use the same actions many times in a row when playing the game.B. She usually follows the order of rock, scissors and paper when playing the game.C. She is good at reading her opponent’s moves when playing the game.D. She often wears dark sunglasses when playing the game.27. We can infer from the last paragraph that _______.A. scissors is the most popular choice of skilled RPS playersB. paper is a safer choice than rock and scissors for RPS playersC. beginners have barely any chance of winning against skilled RPS playersD. men are usually better at RPS games than womenCOF course, Ms Cratty wasn’t really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only called her “My Aunt Fannie (俚语)” because the name always made my father chuckle (轻声地笑) and caused my mother to look seriously at both of us – at me for being disrespectful of my elder, and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large farmhouse owned by Ms Cratty and her twin brother. Neither had married, and they had no children. My father once told me that it was because they were both too mean to share their family’s money or pass it on. Ms Cratty was famous for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with another one. Even though my mother knew the recipe , she never made the jam without Ms Cratty kitchen to direct the process and keep the secret.Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this quarter,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter, given to me by my grandfather.” It had obviously worked for her. So, I put the quarter in my dresser drawer, and waited to become rich.I now have the jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. Neither has made me wealthy, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.28. Why did the author prefer to call Aunt Fannie “My Aunt Fannie”?A. Because she wanted to show respect for her.B. Because she believed that made her seem closer to her.C. Because she loved to see her parents’ responses to it.D. Because she didn’t like her and thus made fun of her.29. According to the second paragraph, the author’s mother _______.A. owned the large farmhouse with Aunt FannieB. disliked Aunt Fannie’s me anness and the way she would never shareC. didn’t know the exact way to make the jamD. tried to make Aunt Fannie believe that the secret recipe was safe30. The author used to believe that the quarter given to her by Aunt Fannie ______.A. was a reminder of the valuable things in her lifeB. would bring her good luck and make her richC. was a small reward for her help with the jam processD. was the exact one that Aunt Fannie had received from her grandfather31. The author thinks that we can feel wealthy if we _______.A. have a certain secret recipeB. have lasting love and friendshipC. share our wealth with othersD. have good fortune and moneyDREADY or not, the college application season has begun. There are two main kinds of early admissions programs: Early Action and Early Decision.Early Action is a great choice for the well-prepared student. Students apply early, and are allowed to apply under an Early Action program to as many colleges as they choose. The biggest advantage for students is that colleges let them know early –in most cases, before Jan 1. Roughly 15 percent of colleges and universities offer an Early Action option. Oct 15 is now the first deadline for many colleges and universities. This movement toward earlier deadlines is especially popular in the Southeast, with many of the large public universities leading the way. North Carolina State University, the University of South Carolina and the University of Georgia all have an Oct 15 Early Action deadline.Early Decision is a promise that cannot be reversed. Students who are accepted must take back their other applications and should attend that school. Students are allowed to apply to just one school under an Early Decision program. Early Decision deadlines are in early November, with colleges letting students know by mid-December. Many students believe that they are more likely to be accepted if they apply for Early Decision, but it actually depends.In some cases there is big increase in students being accepted, and at other colleges it is not that big at all. Generally, the strongest students are applying early. Athletes and students with focused interests are encouraged to apply for Early DecisionChoose the best answer:32. What is the author’s purpose in wri ting the article?A. To explain the process of applying to study in the US.B. To describe two types of US college early admissions programs.C. To encourage students who want to study in the US to apply early.D. To list the advantages of early admissions programs.33. Which of the following statements is TRUE of Early Action according to the article?A. A student who is accepted as an Early Action applicant must attend the college they apply to.B. The deadline for Early Action is usually two months earlier than the one for Early Decision.C. Students can apply to several colleges at the same time under an Early Action program.D. Students can apply for Early Action at the majority of universities and colleges in the US.34. The underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 6 probably means _______.A. changedB. balancedC. acceptedD. arranged35. What can be concluded from the article?A. Students are not allowed to apply for both Early Decision and Early Action at the same time.B. Students applying for Early Decision impress colleges because they tend to be more active than others.C. Early Decision is most fit for students who are skilled in some field.D. Those applying for Early Decision have a better chance of being accepted than those applying for Early Action.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

This is a story of a repair robot R-62.One day, a car came to the repair factory and a human stepp ed out of the car.“Wow, a human! I have never seen a real one,” said R-62.“Humans are quite clever. They’re able to do any action they want to. They’re even able to harm other human beings or org anize wars, which they have been doing a lot in the history. Al so they don’t even have to follow orders if they don’t want to,”said another robot T-59 quietly to R-62.“How terrible it is! And almost all robots seem afraid of him an d don’t look at him dir ectly,” said R-62.The human then sat down and asked if there had been any pr oblems in the last 10 years and he only got a quick answer, “No, sir.”Then suddenly, R-62 said loudly, “I have one question for you.”The human said, “Yes”, a bit unhappy for not getting “sir”.“Why do human create so many robots?” asked R-62. Silence followed the question and he then said, “I don’t need t o answer questions from robots!” He then went into his car an d drove away quickly.“I really don’t understand why humans replaced (取代)themselves with robots,” asked R-62.“Because they thought that robots were more advanced(先进的) than humans. They created us to support themselves,” an swered T-59.“But there are so few humans on Earth. What they should do i s take away the robots or at least make them stop doing the w ork which humans are supposed to do,” said R-62.“I agree. But we can do nothing about it. And now we have to finish repairing this car,” said T-59.“All right, let’s continue.”21. In T-59’s opinion, humans are .A. smartB. politeC. dangerousD. stupid22.

When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column(专栏) called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper .In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn m ore, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and gettin g extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relation ship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, suchas bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful s tage in your life. You’re like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On to p of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they f eel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s w hy they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach! Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class. 28．In the passage, the author mainly talks about _______.A. how to get along well with othersB. the importance of a good relation with teachersC. how much the students are expected of to get along with te achersD. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant 29．“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _______.A. learning becomes easier for you at onceB. you find an opening to learningC. there’ll be more problems with learningD. there’ll be no problems at all with learning3O．According to the passage, which of the following statem ents is TRUE?A.

They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be off ered instead.Last month, San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ba n plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh alrea dy bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages. Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have pil ed up at home. They will be sent for a recycling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on manne life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”.“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking told Sky News Television. The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used ye arly around the world.32. What was Rebecca Hosking?A. A lawyer.B. An environ mentalist.C. A sailor.D. A photogr apher.33.The underlined word “disposable” in the passage probably means .A. acceptableB. valuableC. throw-away D. long-lasting34 It can be inferred from the passage that .A. most of the people in Modbury continue to use plastic bagsB. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world.C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the worlD. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags35. Which of the following would be the best title of the passa ge?A.

More than 800 Mayan cities have been found in Guatemala and the Yucatan peninsula.A very outstanding (著名的) thing in Guatemala is the temples. People from all over the world come to see these fantastic (奇异的) buildings every year. At the center of each Mayan city was a very high temple. It was shaped like a pyramid with a flat top. Steep ( 陡峭的) steps were cut into the stone leading up to altar(祭坛) at the top. The temples were made of very precious materials. It shone brightly in the sunshine. Many people say that this can be compared to the religious temples of Bangkok (曼谷). The Mayan people held their religious ceremonies there every year.The Mayan people loved their temples. They were also very fine stonecutters. Theycarved many beautiful statues of their gods and their way of life. They also carvedlarge stone calendars (历法) for their temples. The calendar created by the Mayasis as accurate as the one we use today.The Mayan people learned many important things and became good astronomers. Theybecame excellent mathematicians. It was learned that they used mathematics in solvingthe building of those temples. They used maths 1,200 years before it was used in Europe.The calendar they put up on the temple is as accurate as the one we use today.The Mayan society lasted peacefully until about the year 1100. Then the Mayaswere conquered by another people from central and Southern Mexico. The temples werepartly destroyed by the invaders ( 入侵者). This was really a terrible pity.

At one time people thought computers were only useful to banks, department stores and governments.But today the rapidly increasing number of computers are used for many other purposes.Have you ever stopped to think how you are affected ( 影响) by a computer? The clothes you wear were probably made with the help of a computer. The newspaper you read could have been edited and typed by a computer. Even radio programmes are often prepared by computers.Computers today are playing important roles in education,transportation and medicine. They are used to predict the weather, to examine the ocean, and to develop systems. They are being used by businesses, governments and institutions.There is no doubt that their uses will become a greater part of our lives.The influence (影响)of the computer is great. The list of its uses could go on and on. Computers now affect millions of people in countless ways every day.41. Before the 1950s the computer was _________.

To pay for the high - tech health care, people can buy health insurance (保险) for their pets. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person's blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from thieves and unwelcome visitors.Cats can help rid (使摆脱) the home of unwanted pests. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide friendship and love.

When Mr Matzzie sent an e- mail to protest against a Bush administration policy, the message was bounced back with an automated (自动的) reply, saying he had to send it again in a new way.Under a system desplayed on the White House Web Site for the first time last week,those who want to send a message to President Bush must now go through as many asnine Web pages and fill out a detailed form that starts by asking whether the messagesender supports White House or not.The White House says the new e - mail system is an effort to be more responsive(反应迅速的) to the public and offer the government "real time "access to citizencomments.Completing a message to the president also requires choosing a subject from theprovided list, then entering a full name,organization, address and e - mail address.Once the message is sent ,the writer must wait for an automated response to the e-mail address listed, asking whether the addressee intended to send the message. Themessage is delivered to the White House only after the person using that e - mailaddress confirms (确定) it."Over all, it's a very cumbersome (迟缓的) process, "said Jokob Nielsenm.an experton Web design.

Just imagine how 1 (terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes fixed upon me. I had no other 2 (choose), though. First I was to draft the speech and that was just a piece of cake for me, because I was a good writer-something to pride myself in. but the hard part 3 (lie) in my oral presentation; to read from the paper was not allowed; I had to give the speech 4 my memory and in front of such a big audience! A real trial began when I stood on the platform with my legs 5 (tremble) and my mind blank. How many time had passed by, I didn’t know. My listeners were still waiting, patiently and without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found myself back, 6 (give) out my speech without much difficulty. Finally I finished. After 7 seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding. I made it! From then on, my fear of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my 8 (confident) building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the 9 (great) difficulty on our way to success is our fear; overcome it, 10 we will be able to achieve our goals.第四节：短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分；满分10分）英语课上，老师要求同学相互修改作文。

Now I’d like to offer some advice.First, you should have enough sleep at night because staying up too late is bad for your health. If you have a good rest, you can learn more efficiently. Second, it doesn’t make sense to compare yourself with your classmates because every person is different from others physically and mentally. All of us have different approaches to learning. If you try the way that suits you best, you are sure to make greater progress in your lessons. More importantly, it is helpful to develop a positive attitude to life. Although we attach importance to the exams, it is equally important to improve overall qualities. Therefore, you should take regular exercise in order to keep fit.I hope my advice will help you improve your learning.Yours,Li Hua听力录音稿(高二2015.1)Text 1W: What will you do if you can't get into medical school?M: I'll study for one more year and take the test again.Text 2M: The teacher is so cruel ...

Everybody said that I couldn't get around this city without a car, but I wanted to prove that they were wrong.I asked my neighbor to take me to the downtown bus station so I could take the bus home. She thought I was crazy but gave me a ride. When I got there, I looked at the map and figured out that I needed to take three buses to get home. The fare was $2 for every ride.I waited at the bus stop for the No.8 bus. Soon it pulled up and I got on. I gave my ticket to the bus driver and took a seat. At the stop where I needed to get off, I rang the bell, the bus stopped, and I got off. I waited for the next bus. I waited and waited. A man who was also waiting for the No.14 bus said that it was always delayed. It finally came and I learned from the bus driver tha t the original No. 14 bus had broken down on the road and they had to get another bus to take its place. By that time, I was pretty tired. Maybe getting a car in L.A. isn't a bad idea.。
