All the passengers had to leave the plane. When the evacuation slide has opened, there are two possibilities. Workers can change the slide at the airport, but the light will be delayed for a long time. Or the plane can take off without an evacuation slide and replace it when it has landed, but the number of passengers on the plane must be smaller for safety reasons.
Thirty-eight passengers had to stay at a hotel at the airport and take another flight the next day. The other passengers got back on the plane, and it finally took off at 05:10 on Saturday morning. It arrived in Tokyo at 14:10. Some passengers found that their luggage was still in Italy. But perhaps they were lucky…

It was a cool spring morning back in 2009 and I had just started a morning shift as a school crossing guard. Looking out for the children, I suddenly noticed something at sideways. Behind me I first thought it was a small, overweight dog heading towards me. I didn't think much about it, and looked carefully at any approaching children, as well as enjoying the morning sun.
What is wrong with that dog? I thought later on, as I looked back to check on the small dog—it was moving much too fast for itself.
A few minutes later, I felt as if I was being watched, I looked behind me, but the dog had disappeared. Then, as I slowly turned my attention back to the road, I was greatly surprised to see a large koala at my feet and staring right
up at me.
A number of different solutions crossed my mind. But staying calm was the best. “Are you waiting to cross the road?” I asked the sweet koala. Miss Koala looked away, and scratched (抓挠) behind her car.
Then it got up on all four feet and impatiently started to cross the road. I quickly checked for any cars, then walked to the road with my stop sign held high, whistle (吹哨) to my lips, and held my breath.
The koala made it to the other side of the street, then continued following the path through the trees and disappeared into bushes.
So why did the koala cross at the school crossing? To safely get to the trees on the other side! 88. Is the writer a school crossing guard or an animal protection volunteer? ______________________________________________. 89. Where did the writer notice the little animal?
______________________________________________. 90. What did the writer choose among the different solutions? ______________________________________________.
91. Which word showed that koala didn’t realize the danger when crossing the road? ______________________________________________. 92. How did the writer help koala cross the road?
______________________________________________. 93. What do you think of the koala cross at the school crossing? Why?
______________________________________________. 88. A school crossing guard.
89. At sideways (near the school crossing). 90. He chose to stay calm./ Stay calm.
91. The word “impatiently” showed koala didn't realize the danger when crossing the road.
92. He helped koala cross the road by holding the stop sigh high and whistling in the road./ by walking to the road with his stop sigh held high, whistle to his lips.
93. The koala was very clever/smart. Because it/he or she thought someone/the guard would help her cross the road safely like he helped the children going to school, and that was the right place to cross the road safely.

Ned and Miles are students at different colleges. Ned applies for an online school, while Miles. attends classes on a school campus. The two students each believe that their school system is better than the other. Ned: Hey, Miles. Are you free to see a movie tomorrow night?
Miles: Sorry, no. I'll have a class tomorrow and a lot of homework to finish up.
Ned: Oh, that's too bad. I'm so glad I take classes online. I can decide when, where and how to complete my
lessons. It saves a lot of time.
Miles: It sounds good, but I actually really enjoy going to class because it's a great way to get to know other
people. It also helps me learn how to work well with others. If I don't understand something, I'm always able to ask about it in person. That saves me a lot of time and prevents misunderstanding.
Ned: In an online class, I have to think thoroughly(彻底地）before asking questions. That teaches me how to
solve problems on my own.
Miles: Do you ever run into technical(技术上的）problems in your online classes? If you can't open a file, how
can you continue your learning?
Ned: It's not a big problem. I can email the teacher or contact another student for help.
Miles: But answering questions through emails takes too much time. You may fall behind on your studies. Ned: You can fall behind, too. What if you get sick or your class gets canceled because the weather is bad?
Those aren't problems for online classes.
Miles: Yes, but there's usually a make-up(弥补)class if a class is canceled.
Ned: In an online class, I don't have to worry about missing classes for any reason. I can always review the
previous(之前的）lessons online.
Miles: Don't you feel lonely sometimes? I would feel lonely if I had to learn on my own.
Ned: I'm confident in learning by myself. Besides, an online class gives me more free time to take part in other
activities.
Miles: I still prefer having classmates to brainstorm and discuss ideas with. I believe that improves my learning
all the time.
Ned: I'm pretty self-disciplined(自律的）, and I work better on my own. I can't focus when working with
others.
Miles: I guess everybody learns differently.
81. Ned prefers attending classes on a school campus to studying online, doesn't he? 82. Why can't Miles go to see the movie with Ned?

Dear Judy
Sister, how are you?
I woke up this morning. It's nearly Easter. Whenever it is Easter. I think of you. I'll never forget seeing you for the first time when you were born. You were the sweetest little baby wrapped in a soft white blanket. How I loved kissing and holding you! I was a teenager and loved carrying you around. Sometimes people asked if you were my baby. I must have looked like a very young mother, but how proud I was in those moments.
However, things started to change for me as I never felt quite wanted. How sad when it was that I felt so jealous(嫉妒的) of you.
Before your arrival. Mum was in no hurry to buy the things that I needed. But later I always had to wait and wait for her to pay my school fees or buy books and clothes. Everything was always late! How much more upsetting that my birthday and Christmas presents were only ever things that I urgently（急迫地）needed, such nightdress and books?
Your situation was different and Mum always made sure that you had the best of everything quickly. when you got a horse for your 6th birthday and started riding lessons, how jealous I was!
I slowly turned cold towards you and never gave you the warm hugs that you expected from me or showed an interest in your horse or your medals. I remember your sad face, probably wondering why I didn’t seem to care about you.
Today I considered that as I woke up. I have never spoken about this, or why that is so. Today I must say that I am very sorry for hurting your feelings. It was never your fault(错). You were too young to even realize it.All these years, you might have wondered what you did wrong that I didn't often speak with you.
Please forgive me! I want to be a real big sister to you again. If you can forgive me, we can start over and spend time together. You have turned into a beautiful young woman who I am so proud of. I would love to be close again.
Much love Helen
