阅读理解。     Summer is almost here, which means it is time to sign your kids up for swim classes again at the
Community Pool. Classes begin on Monday, May 1, and will continue throughout the summer. Fifteen
swim classes are being offered. Each class lasts ten hours. A new class starts each week of the summer.
Each class costs $20. The pool is big enough for six students per class.
     Classes will increase in difficulty each week. The first week is for children up to six years old. The last week is for advanced swimmers who want to improve their race skills.
     Students can sign up for as many classes as they like, but they must pass the skills level test. For
example, students who sign up for Level 4 (Stroke Readiness) must show their certificate for completing
Level 3 or must demonstrate the front crawl and backstroke. Children cannot sign up for a level they are
not ready for. Children who have never attended Community Pool classes must show up April 29 or 30
for a swim skills evaluation. Instructors will rate the students and assign them to a particular skill level.
     Swim classes are fun for all. Children learn new skills and make new friends. Parents get to meet other parents in the community. Swimming, like bicycling, is a healthy and valuable skill that, once learned, is
never forgotten.

阅读理解。     Try touring the Shanghai World Expo Site at night if you are tired of the endless queues, the blazing
sun and crowds of people during the daytime. Nitht -time tickets for the Shanghai World Expo are already available, and tourists can enjoy a completely different view when night falls.
     First, night -time tickets are much cheaper and tourists can avoid peak hours. A daytime ticket costs
160 yuan, while a night-time ticket only costs 90 yuan.

more pavilions. On the whole, although going at night allows only half the time during the day, tourists

     Third, the lights are all on at night, giving tourists a wonderful night view of bright lights that they cannot possibly see in the daytime. Dressed with all kinds of colored lights, the Expo Site looks brilliant and
charming at night.

     Believe it or not, optical illusion(错觉) can cut highway crashes.
     Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using
a simple optical illusion. But stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think
that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.
     Now the American Automobile Association Foundation(基金会) for Traffic Safety in Washington
D.C. is planning to repeat Japan"s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and
other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce
highway crashes.
     Excessive (too great) speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents,
according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas
where speed-related hazards are the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
     Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average
speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used
to seeing the painted bars.
     Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed
and the number of traffic accidents.      1. The passage mainly discusses ________.A. a new way of highway speed control
B. a new pattern for painting highways
C. a new way of training drivers
D. a new type of optical illusion2. The underlined word "hazards" probably means ________.A. accidents
B. traffic jams
C. dangers
D. cases3. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ________.A. can keep drivers awake
B. can cut road accidents in half
C. will look more attractive
D. will have a longer effect on driv
