When someone has money that he wants to put in a safe place, he naturally takes it to a bank. Until recently the very appearance of the bank building was designed to assure people that their money would be safe. There were thick, solid walls and barred windows. All the windows and doors were wired to set off the burglar alarms if anyone tried to force his way in. The vaults where the money was kept had huge, steel doors with complicated locks. Uniformed guards with pistols in their holsters were always on duty in the bank. The tellers’ cages - the cubicles where the bank clerks, or tellers, worked - actually resembled cages. They had gratings across the front, high sides and back, and a door that could be opened only by pushing a release button. The new style of bank design retains some of these protective A. the bank building looks like a safe place B. there are thick, solid walls in a bank building C. uniformed guards are always on duty in a bank D. bank clerks work in cages [单项选择]Task 3
Beijing has an extensive public transportation network. Subway
and City Rail with high speed trains running at intervals of 3 to 5 minutes are
the fastest public transportation in the city. There are more than 60 thousand
taxis in the city. Public buses are the cheapest means of transportation which
cover the entire city.
The starting fare of public buses is 1 Yuan in the city and 2 Yuan in the suburb areas. It is also a good idea to buy a Public Transportation Card which charges a starting fare of 40 cents per trip. You need to pay a deposit of 20 Yuan and prepay a certain amount to use the Public Transportation Card just like any Beijing citizen. When you leave Beijing, just return the Card at any card sale counter and the deposit will be refunded to you.

Testing has replaced teaching in most public schools. My own children’s school week is framed by pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then skim the text for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to state proudly and openly that they teach to the mandated state test. 我来回答: 提交
