She found this so puzzling that she moved closer to her father.“ What is it. darling? ” Captain Crewe asked, holding her closer and looking down into her face.During her short life only one thing had troubled her, and that thing was “the place“ she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad fbr children, and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school. She bad seen other children go away, and had heard their fathers and mothers talk about the letters they received from them 1. She had known that she would be obliged to go also, and though sometimes her fathers stories of the voyage and the new country had attracted her, she had been troubled by the thought that he could not stay with her.She had liked to think of that. To keep the house fbr her father; to ride with him, and sit at the head of his table when he had dinner parties; to talk to him and read his books - that would be what she would like most in the world, and if one must go away to “ the placen in England to attain it, she must make up her mind to go. She did not care very much fbr other little girls, but if she had plenty of books she could consoleherself.It was a big, dull, brick house, exactly like all the others in its row, but that on the front door there shone a brass plate on which was engraved in black letters:MISS MINCHIN, Select Seminary fbr Young Ladies.“I don't like it, papa, “ she said. "But then I dare say soldiers - even brave ones-donft really like going into battle. n Sara stood quietly, with her eyes fixed upon Miss Minchin's face. She was thinking something odd, as usual.4.

This means that most of the time we devote to worrying, which pushes us to try to come up with a solution to what is troubling us, is wasted, Thus, we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain, but took up valuable minutes and hours that could've been spent elsewhere.To avoid this, it is often necessary to stay calm and trace the sources of worry. More importantly, we should analyze the situation and see whether it is the very problem that is bothering us. Blindly feeling nervous about whether the problem can be solved is sometimes nidicolous, for the problems do not exist. Once, shortly before a major concert, a member of Arturo Toscanini's orchestra approached the great Italian conductor with an expression of fear on his face. nMaestro （大师）,“ the musician said, " my instrument is not working properly. I cannot reach the note of E-flat. Whatever will I do? We are to begin in a few moments. H Toscanini looked at the man with amazement. Then he smiled kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders. " My friend, " he replied, “ Do not worry about it. The note E-flat does not appear anywhere in the music that you will be playing this evening.The next time we find ourselves in the middle of worrying about some matters, we might be wise to stop and ask ourselves what the problem is and whether it will happen. Then we may be able to go on to do something more meaningful or at least avoid being disturbed by something imaginary.8. What do we know about worry from the first two paragraphs?A. It requires people to record and review the trouble later.B. It drives people to try and stay safe from anticipated trouble.C. IPs referred to as negative ideas about things that will never happen.D.

What can be inferred from the text?A. Arturo Toscanini was a great Italian musician from Italy.B. Worry is defined as thoughts and images of a negative nature.C. Time wasted on worry should be spent on something meaningful.D. People feel annoyed by worry because of psychological problems.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The source of worry.B. How to deal with worry.C. The definition of worry.D. How worry affects people.DOne of the most important changes cities must make to improve life in them is to separate people from their cars. Even when you have a strong public transport system inmoving people between population hubs, the last mile - that section between the railway station and someone's home, for example - can lead to car use if it's considered too far or too dangerous to walk.The idea of a low-traffic neighbourhood ( LTN) - where cars are banned from quieter 'rat runs* (偏僻小路)to keep them on the major routes - has taken off in parts of the UK. LTNs attempt to filter out cars from residential streets using bollards, camera-controlied gates or even planters full of flowers placed across the road, while pedestrians, cyclists and emergency vehicles can still pass.Analysis fbr the active transport charity Sustrans found that “ driving a mile on a minor urban road is twice as likely to kill or seriously injure a child pedestrian 19 and three times more likely to kill or seriously injure a child cyclist, compared to driving a mile on an urban A-road? ” and that heavy car traffic in residential areas can lead to a rise in social isolation. LTNs reduce this danger, leading to a three-fbld reduction in injuries, and have been shown to increase the number of visitor
