Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along their route: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service better?
Yours,
Tired passenger
1.The writer has to take Bus No. 49 because ______.
A.it is not always full B.it arrives on time
C.it travels faster D.it has fewer seats on it
2.The regulations say that each bus may carry ______ passengers at most.
A.20 B.40
C.129 D.60
3.What kind of letter is this passage?
A.It’s a letter of thanks B.It’s a letter of apology
C.It’s a letter of introduction D.It’s a letter of complaint

Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.
Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩) and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.
Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: "Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart."
The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr Garfinkel said, "The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see - and guide whether we see fear."
To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪) to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear. “We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear," Dr Garfinkel said.
"We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder."
1.What is the finding of the study?
A．One's heart affects how he feels fear.
B．fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.
C．fear has something to do with one's health.
D．Ones fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.
2.The study was carried out by analyzing _______.
A．volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures
B．the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions
C．volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans
D．different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication
3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to "mechanism" in Paragraph 6?
A．Order. B．system. C．machine. D．treatment.
4.This study may contribute to _______.
A．treating anxiety and stress better
B．explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety
C．finding the sky to the heart-brain communication
D．understanding different fears in our hearts and heads
