It was a shock and a painful lesson for many people when the police announced the cause of a bus accident in Chongqing on Oct 28. Video footage (片段) from inside the bus suggested that after a passenger missed her stop and asked the driver to stop, but he refused. She began hitting him over the head with her cell phone. During the conflict, the driver lost control of the bus and it jumped into the Yangtze River, causing 15 deaths.

Zheng Chuankai, a lawyer in Beijing, said the accident showed that it was important that those who cause danger to public safety face severe punishment. Such attacks are inhuman but common. In fact, it is not rare to hear of passengers attacking bus drivers in China. This month, a local court in Shenyang, Liaoning province, sentenced three people to up to three years in prison for endangering public safety by distracting bus drivers, Xinhua reported. “Passengers who interfere (妨碍) with bus drivers are endangering public safety, which is equal to serious crimes like arson (纵火) and poisoning.” Liu Changsong，a Beijing lawyer, told the Global Times.

To prevent similar cases from happening, many Chinese cities have taken measures to keep bus drivers safe. Dozens of cities including Beijing, Xi’an, Wuhan, Changsha and Nanning have plans to add safety fences to buses to protect drivers from any interference by passengers.

The bus operator in Quanzhou, Fujian Province, has invited psychologists to teach drivers how to manage their emotions when facing an angry passenger. These measures are necessary, but they are not enough.

“Public security is closely connected with social morality (道德). People should obey the law, be more self-disciplined and sensible.”

Many countries have introduced measures to deal with the problem of violence against bus drivers. On every bus in the US state of New Jersey, a sign on the back of the driver’s seat warns passengers that anyone attacking a driver can be fined or put into prison.

In London, the local government has launched a program to train drivers to deal with angry passengers and avoid potential conflicts.

1.How did the police find out the cause of the accident?

A. From the witnesses to the accident.　　 B. From the recorded video in the bus.

C. From the survivals of the accident.　　 D. From the police’s reasoning.

2.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?

B. Being a bus driver is a dangerous job.

C. Arson and poisoning are very common in the society.

D. It’s important to know how to protect a bus driver.

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards training drivers to avoid conflicts with passengers?

A. Supportive.　　 B. Doubtful.

C. Opposed.　　 D. Uncaring.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

B. A Bus Jumping into the Yangtze River.

C. Keeping Away from the Dangerous Bus.

D. Attack on Bus Driver Brings Safety Review.

When it's five o'clock,people leave their office.The length of the workday,for many workers,is defined by time. They leave when the clock tells them they're done.

These days,the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches,but on cell-phones and computers.That may be a bad thing,particularly at work.New research shows on that clock-based work schedules hinder morale and creativity.

Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and hours.For example: a meeting from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., research from 10 a.m.to noon,etc.On the other hand,task-timers have a list of things they want to accomplish.They work down the list,each task starts when the previous task is completed.It is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.

What,then,are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us more productive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier,they had participints organize different activities-from project planning,holiday shopping,to yoga-by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under "clock time" vs "task time".They found clock timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control over their lives.Task timers are happier and more creative,but less productive. They tend to enjoy the moment when something good is happening,and seize opportunities that come up.

The researchers argue that task-based organizing tends to be undervalued and under-supported in the business culture.Smart companies,they believe,will try to bake more task-based planning into their strategies.

This might be a small change to the way we view work and the office,but the researchers argue that it challenges a widespread characteristic of the economy: work organized by clock time.While most people will still probably need,and be,to some extent,clock-timers,task-based timing should be used when performing a job that requires more creativity.It'll make those tasks easier,and the task-doers will be happier.

1.What does the author think of time displayed everywhere?

A.It makes everybody aware of time.

B.It is a convenience for work and life.

C.It may have a negative effect on creative work.

D.It clearly indicates the fast pace of modern life.

2.What did Tamar Avnet and Anne-Laure Sellier find in their experiments about clock-timers ?

A.They seize opportunities as they come up.

B.They always get their work done in time.

C.They have more control over their lives.

D.They tend to be more productive.

3.What do the researchers say about today's business culture?

A.It does not support the strategies adopted by smart companies.

B.It does not attach enough importance to task-based practice.

C.It places more emphasis on work efficiency than on workers’ lives.

D.It aims to bring employees' potential and creativity into full play.

4.What do the researchers suggest?

A.Task-based timing is preferred for doing creative work.

B.It is important to keep a balance between work and life.

C.Performing creative jobs tends to make workers happier.

D.A scientific standard should be adopted in job evaluation.

Many people go to school for a good education. They learn languages, history, maths　　 and other lessons. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. No matter how much a teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to know. His work is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself. It is quite easy to learn something in a language or a formula（公式） in maths，but it is difficult to use a formula in finding the answer to a maths problem . Great inventors do not get everything from school but they can invent many things and change the world a lot. Though Thomas Edison invented many things he didn’t have much school education.
