There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life has become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people werestill out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for? He asked, holding a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a. m by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that ni ght, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.31.How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sickB. Fortunate and hopefulC. Satisfied and cheerfulD. Disappointed and helpless32. From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy ______.A. solving her problem at the bankB. taking part in various city activitiesC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. preparing for the first night show33.

Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.34. From the text, we can infer that the writer ________.A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bankB“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is．You can feel how heavy the glass is.When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music？They must like to feel the sounds of music.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch” means．They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up．In shops, we touch things we might buy, such as food, clothes, and so on. To see something well, we have to touch it．The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a bad floor. All feel different under your feet.There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin．Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!Most museums are just for looking．But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do to uch! There you can feel everything on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch . Then you will really see!”35．By touching things.A．you will have a strange feeling B．you will learn how to reach outC．you can tell the difference between them D．you can tell what colors they are 36．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A．Touching by Feeling B．To See or to FeelC．To See Better by Feeling D．Ways of Feeling37．Why does the passage say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things”?A．The things are used by people, too.

None of the information is exactly new, but a number of graphs in the report offer a clear and convincing illustration (阐述) of the status of women today. For instance, more young women are going to college than young men for the first time in US history. But, women are much more likely to go into lower-paying fields than men when they graduate, therefore lasting the long-standing wage gap. And women, especially minority women, are still more likely to live in poverty than men. Check out three of the graphs from the report below.Graph I:Graph II:Senior Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett said on a conference call with reporters that the president will use the data as a “tool” to inform policy plans, though she would not name any specific new moves the administration is considering.“You really have to look at the whole story of a woman’s life,” Jarrett said. “This report gives us a framework to do that.”39.
