26、Ali knocks on my front door every few weeks to offer my family food. He’s from Iran and knows how much I love Persian cooking. A self-made taxi driver, he shares more than food.
I wonder if he hears my screams through the walls. I have sensory processing challenges, and my brain gets overloaded every couple of months. When this happens, I have a severe headache.
I arrived in my new neighborhood near Novato after trial and error. After two years on the East Coast for graduate school and then six years spent working abroad, I had always felt like an outsider. I decided to return to my hometown of San Francisco since I had held on to the idea of the city’s diversity all those years. But after a short time in Berkeley, a city on the east shore of San Francisco Bay, my sensory sensitivities became unbearable. I had to run even farther from the city to the suburbs (郊区).
The suburbs felt so much more like the San Francisco of my youth. Having grown up between the Haight, the Fillmore, and the Sunset, and being a product of San Francisco public schools — living among cultural diversity — I’ve always felt that immersion (沉浸) in difference is my norm (准则).
In her book Radical Suburbs, Amanda Kolson Hurley writes in America, the fixed idea of “white suburbs” is changing. My neighbors are Guatemalan, Iranian, and African American. My husband is South Asian; our daughter is mixed. “Diverse suburbs are growing faster than white suburbs,” Hurley writes.
Back to Ali. His wife, Janet, is a nurse from Sacramento who grew up on a farm. Her father helped build Bay Area bridges. She’s black, and her sister visits regularly. On the other side of my short fence (围栏) is Valeria, a middle-aged homemaker from Guatemala and she has two grown sons. Once a month her nieces and nephews visit their house. We can all hear them singing beautiful songs.
My neighbors make me feel at home.

27、If electric bikes haven't caught your attention yet, here's one that might. Okapi, a Boston-based company, is producing a unique e-bike that bridges the gap between motorcycles and ordinary bikes.
These aren't normal bikes. If the futuristic appearance doesn't give them away, the specs（规格）will: Okapi's bikes have an all-electric range of up to 40 miles and a top speed of around 30 mph. Those aren't crazy numbers, but they are more than adequate（合乎要求）for an ordinary bike. The company's selling its bikes for just under $3,000. That's in line with other e-bikes' pricing, but Okapi's bikes look more attractive than the others, which try to look like normal bicycles.
The bikes full suspension（减震）, hidden storage, and 1,000-watt motor all add up to a fun ride. Okapi's design appears to be stronger and more able to handle the bumps（碰撞）than many other electric bikes, some of which appear to be modeled after old models The main downside to Okapi's design is that it supports a maximum of 280 pounds, which may stop some riders enjoying the bike.
Electric bikes are getting cheaper, almost every day, but Okapi's product charges a high price The Starter Edition bike costs $2,989. 98. The good news is that Okapi's bike looks better and stronger than many offerings on the market today.
Though they're not the most mainstream product there, e-bikes are worth the coin at almost any price. If you' re considering buying an electric bike, do it. E-bikes absolutely offer you an enjoyable and exciting experience, even on the cheaper end.
【1】What do we know about Okapi's new bike?
A．Its look is normal.
B．Its speed is steady.

B．E-bikers: Cooler than You Think
C．E-bikers: a Future Leader of Bikes
D．Okapi: A Pioneer in the E-bike Market
28、Liu Xu was robbed. The 13-year-old was riding home when a man jumped out from the roadside. He pulled Liu off his bike and rode away. Liu was scared, but he didn’t run after the robber. He found a telephone and called the police at 110.
“Safety is the first in such a situation,” Liu said, remembering what his teacher had told him in his first aid class. “It’s not safe to run after an adult who is much stronger than you.”
Liu is a student in Guangdong. His school is one of the first in China to have required first aid education. Grade 1 students must take the class once a week.
Teenage safety has become a serious problem recently. According to a recent survey, about 16,000 teenagers die in accidents in China every year. An average of 40 students die every day from drowning, food poisoning(中毒)and traffic accidents.
The school said that the first aid classes are to “teach students skills so that they can keep themselves safe and save themselves from danger.”
Students at the school often learn by role-playing in first aid classes.
Zhou Min, 12, remembered her favourite lesson. “I performed as a stranger knocking at a door. A classmate stood inside the door and asked several questions before letting me in. Then we changed roles and did it again,” Zhou said. “We learned a lot while having fun at role-playing.”
The topics of the class are regularly changed. The students have learned skills for lifesaving in earthquakes.
“The teacher told us girls that we should try not to go out alone, especially at night. If someone tries to do bad things to us, we may hit their eyes or noses or kick their deadly parts. Then we should quickly run into a crowded place,” said Zhong Hua, a 13-year-old girl.
【1】Why didn’t Liu Xu run after the robber when his bike was taken away from him?
A．Because the robber rode away too fast.
B．Because he was too scared to run in such a situation.
C．Because the robber looked much stronger than an adult.
D．Because he remembered what he had learned in his first aid class.
【2】The purpose of the first aid classes is to ________.
A．make Grade 1 students take the class once a week
B．help the 40 students to solve their safety problems
C．complete the required art education in the school
D．teach the teenagers how to keep themselves safe from danger
【3】Zhou Min gave an example to show ________.
A．how they learn in the first aid classes
B．where they have their first aid classes
C．what they don’t often do in her classes
D．who teach them role-playing in her classes
29、During my first year of college, I went on a trip with a group of classmates to New York City for fun. At the end of the day, several of the students suggested hanging out in the city for a while before getting dinner. They ended up spending thousands of dollars at the clothing store. It was only when they had finished that they decided to eat dinner at a place across the street. In the nicest restaurant I had ever been to, I ordered the cheapest appetizer I could find, and sat in silence as the students around me reminisced about their most recent vacations to Europe.
When the dinner was over, a student suggested seeing a Broadway play, and one guy told the group Cabaret was playing for only $ 250 a ticket. I knew I wasn't going to be spending $ 250 for a show. “I have a lot of homework,” I said. “But thanks anyway.” I walked back to the hotel alone.
To be very honest, I find it fascinating to be surrounded by classmates who come from wealthy families I have never experienced. Meanwhile, I'm not embarrassed for being unable to afford the things my classmates buy. I'm proud of who I am, and where I've come from.
On the other hand, one of my classmates had gotten to college on a needs-based scholarship. He didn't have any money. He didn't have a car and relied on brisk walks to get anywhere. He couldn't even afford food, so he worked part time at college food service to make a few dollars and grab leftovers for meals. He certainly kept me grounded as I felt like a spoiled brat using money so freely and buying myself a sandwich whenever I felt hungry.
So, while I was ridiculously wondering about my insufficiency, he showed what real determination and pride were.
【1】What did the author do after dinner?
A．He went shopping.
B．He saw a Broadway play.
C．He walked back to the hotel.
D．He met with a classmate of his.
【2】Why did the author say “I have a lot of homework to do” in paragraph 2?
A．Because he thought homework came first.
B．Because he couldn't handle piles of homework.
C．Because the coming exam was of great importance.
D．Because he didn't intend to spend so much money on a play.
【3】How did the author feel about his financial insufficiency?
A．Fascinated.
B．Embarrassed.
C．Content.
D．Worried.
【4】How is the text developed?
A．By listing examples.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By giving a definition.
D．By providing evidence.
