14、 the car when the temperature is too high.DIt won first place at a global K-12 education competition.Most people ride the bus to get from point A to point B, but riders taking a new route in Hong Kong are only interested in sleeping.

15、e-hour bus journey especially for passengers to sleep as much as they want. Tickets for the first tour on Oct. 16 sold out right away, the Washington Post reported.Many people find it easy. But why? According to a website, there are several possible reasons.White noiseWhite noise is a kind of noise
16、made by sounds with different frequencies (频率) together. Buses are often crowded every day with people going to and from work. Therefore, they are the perfect environment for white noise. They make continuing noises. White noise makes people feel relaxed and helps them sleep.Rocking movementAnother
17、popular view on why its easy to fall asleep on buses is because of the rocking movement. “The movement of buses feels like a mother shaking a baby in her arms. It is very comfortable,” Frankie Chow, the founder of Ulu Travel Agency, told the Washington Post.When you were a baby, you were rocked to s
18、leep. That makes you connect the rocking movement with sleeping. Sitting on a bus gives people similar experiences. Thats why you want to sleep. Its the rocking movement that induces sleep. Long periods of inactivityOn buses, you dont move around very much. You just sit down and enjoy the scenery as
19、 the bus moves along the road. Basically, youre away from the things that keep your mind and your physical body busy. This inactivity also slows your brain activity down because theres no stimulus (刺激物) to keep it awake.Increase in carbon dioxideBuses often get crowded with people going to and from
20、work. Carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) increases when there are lots of people in a small place. The thinner oxygen (氧气) slows the brain down, causing people to feel sleepy.19What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?ATo fall asleep.BTo ride a bus.CTo design a journey.DTo buy a ticket.20Which
21、statement is right about white noise?AIt is useless for people to get to sleep.BIt is the sound with the same frequency.CIt is connected with the rocking movement.DIt is the continuing noise which can relax people.21What does the underlined word “induces” in Paragraph 5 mean?AstopsBcausesClowersDavo

But what happens when they d
23、ont want to live in them any longer? All over the world there are ghost towns, where people dont live any more. Here are a few.In 1908, many Germans arrived in Luderitz in the southern African country of Namibia. They wanted to look for diamonds (钻石) and they found a lot. With the money from the dia
24、monds they built the town of Kolmanskop. It had lots of beautiful buildings, a hospital, a school, and even a theatre. But when there werent any more diamonds, they left the town.

25、pany started building a holiday resort (度假胜地) in the Sanzhi District of New Taipei City. For the next two years they built a lot of round buildings. They didnt look like normal houses, but more like spaceships. People called them the “UFO houses”. In 1980, they stopped building the houses because th
26、ere wasnt enough money and for 28 years the resort was a ghost town. However, no one can visit this city today because in 2008 they took down all the buildings. All we can see now are photos of these strange looking houses. In Northern Brazil, there is the ghost town of Fordlandia. In 1928, Henry Fo

Unluckily, the weather in the area wasnt good for growing the trees they needed to make tyres. Ford tried to make the city a success but it was difficult. In 194
28、5, his grandson Henry Ford II sold Fordlandia. The company lost $20 million. The empty buildings of the town are still there today.About 70 years ago, Centralia was a busy town in Pennsylvania, USAIt had five hotels, seven churches and 19 big stores. In 1962, a fire started under the town at an old
29、mine (矿). They spent millions of dollars trying to stop it but that didnt work. It became too dangerous to live there and everyone had to leave the town.

33、e. Some thought it was “scary”. Others worried that it would steal their personal information.Spot is a dog-shaped robot built by a tech company.

It had a special camera to allow it to “see” everything on all sides of it. They called their version “Digidog”. The robot dog cost the NYPD about
35、$94,000. That may seem like a lot of money, but its cheap for a robot.When it reported Digidog, the NYPD said, “This dog is going to save lives, protect people, and help officers, and thats our goal.”They soon found out that not everyone was as excited about the robot as they were.

37、ople.Many people didnt just worry about this robot dog, but about what future police robots might look like.
