For more than fifty years， a worker was forced to sit on the back of a truck and slowly drop plastic barriers （障礙） to set out lanes （車道） on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Every day， their direction changed to control the traffic， meaning an employee had to go through the difficult task every twenty-four hours.

But a new piece of machinery means the work can be completed in a matter of minutes. A new “zipper truck” has been introduced. The vehicle lays and moves a lane barrier as it drives over the bridge. Last weekend， the bridge was closed so the new safety barrier， designed to reduce the dangers of head-on crashes， could be set up.

For the longest period in its over eighty-year history， the bridge was closed early Saturday to all but walkers， cyclists and buses to set up the barriers on the 1.7-mile bridge. A survivor of a 2008 head-on crash on the bridge spoke Sunday from a wheelchair to help introduce the new barrier that can move across the bridge's six lanes to meet traffic needs.

Dr Grace Dammann pushed for a safer barrier since becoming unable to walk after the accident. She said she decided to drive near the middle of the bridge， because she and her daughter were running late.Brian Clark， who was driving in the opposite direction， had just learned his father had cancer.“He suddenly lost control of the wheel， crossed over and hit my car，” Dammann said.

She said she and Clark became friends as they persuaded （說服） the government to use the $30 million barrier.“I am so thankful，” said Dammann， who came to the ceremony with Clark.

28. What is the zipper truck for？

A. Building bridges.?????? B. Repairing the road.

C. Carrying plastic barriers.???? D. Setting up safe lane barriers.

29. What can we know about the Golden Gate Bridge？

A. It is being repaired now.???? B. It is a bridge with eight lanes.

C. It had very dangerous lanes before.? D. It is too old to be used at the moment.

30. What can we learn about Dammann and Clark？

A. They organized the ceremony.?? B. They are government officials.

C. They designed the new zipper truck. D. They are in favor of the new barrier.

31. What is the text mainly about？

A. A worker on the Golden Gate Bridge. B. A great bridge in San Francisco.

C. A new safer barrier system.???? D. A serious traffic accident.

Traffic jams are the horrible dreams of motorists' lives. If you think your journey is bad， spare a thought for drivers in Sao Paolo， Brazil—one evening in May， the traffic jams during the rush hour added up to a 344 km queue， according to the city's traffic management agency.

This isn't a new problem. During the car boom （激增） of the 1960s， city planners had one seemingly obvious solution： Build more and wider roads. But the more roads created， the more cars they attracted. So what's the solution？ Some cities have adopted easy methods， like banning cars from driving on certain days.

However， improving traffic flow （流量） may need more of a complete rethink. A company， Urban Engines， has a slightly fresher method.“We're providing an online game that offers trip suggestions and prizes to encourage commuter behavior changes， including changing travel from peak （高峰） to off-peak times，” says Shiva Shivakumar， Urban Engines' co-founder and CEO. For the past two-and-a-half years， the company has conducted pilot studies in major cities， including Bangalore and Singapore. In Bangalore， one-in-six people who took part in the trial started traveling off-peak， and in Singapore one-in-eight.

But others think this solution doesn't go far enough.“The only effective long-term solution is to improve alternative methods—walking， cycling and particularly high-quality public transport，” says Todd Litman of the Victoria Transport Policy Institute in Canada. Road pricing that charges motorists extra if they drive during the rush hour could also be an option. Cities like Singapore， London and Stockholm have successfully used road pricing to control the steel river.

The solution to beating traffic jams in cities will probably take a long time to gain prizes. But if some of these new ideas are a success， the days of Sao Paolo's heavy traffic jams may finally become history.

32. What can we learn about the method of building wider roads？

A. It results in the car boom.???? B. It doesn't reduce the traffic pressure.

C. It needs to be further tested.??? D. It is unlikely to be widely used.

33. What does Urban Engines do to deal with traffic jams？

A. It encourages off-peak travel.??? B. It changes trip suggestions regularly.

C. It bans driving on certain days.?? D. It charges drivers for driving at peak hours.

34. What does the underlined part “the steel river” in Paragraph 4 refer to？

A. The traffic flow.??????? B. The traffic light.

C. The public transport.????? D. The crowd of people.

35. What can be the best title for the text？

A. How Do Traffic Jams Form？??? B. Can We Ever End Traffic Jams？

C. Do Traffic Jams Affect Our Life？? D. Where Is the Most Jammed City？

When it refers to the people who had helped to make the world a wonderful place， will you only think of famous scientists or great leaders？ That is not all the facts.36 An act of kindness can bring a smile to a person's face even if only for a moment.

Give away your money.37 For example， if you want to help hungry children， you can try to find an international organization that provides food for those in poor areas. Every cent you give away will mean a lot.

Help a stranger. Your small actions can brighten the day of others. Hold the door for someone whose hands are full. Help the blind cross the street.38 The key is expecting nothing in return for your acts of kindness.

Care about those you know. Show the people close to you how much you care about them. Make a beautiful gift for a friend. Take your husband to his favorite place if he has had a hard week.39

Be thankful to others. Have you had good service in a restaurant？ Thank the waiter. Do you have a very good neighbor who is always there when you need her？ Tell her how much you appreciate her being in your life.

40 If a friend needs skill in a certain area， offer your advice. Perhaps she is struggling to set up a computer， and you know how to do that. Offer whatever ability you have， but always remember to be polite.

A. Keep walking forward.

B. Share your knowledge.
