Welcome to the North Pole Adventure
The North Pole Adventure is a one-of-a-kind interactive Christmas attraction for the entire family. Unlike other Christmas attractions, it is open from November 25 until Christmas Eve. It is not a guided tour. While elves (小精灵) are throughout the adventure to interact with your children, your kids can spend as much time in each area as they wish. The adventure features a replica (复制品) of the North Pole including everything you imagine at Santa's North Pole.
Santa's House
Kids will experience what it's like at the North Pole and see first-hand what it takes for Santa and his elves to get ready for Christmas each year. The memories your children will take away from Santa's House will be ones they will remember for a life time.
Post Office
All kids will be assisted by Santa's elves in writing a letter to Santa and then depositing it in Santa's magical mailbox. A few days before Christmas, they will receive letters at their own homes from Santa.
Elf University
Elf University is the place where elves go to school. It's also the place where kids enjoy making Christmas presents, coloring Christmas pictures, and even filling out applications to become elves one day.

My day began on a definitely sour note when I saw my six﹣year﹣old wrestling with a limb of my azalea（杜鹃花）bush. By the time I got outside, he'd broken it. "Can I take this to school today？" he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so he wouldn't see the tears gathering in my eyes.
The washing machine had leaked on my brand﹣new linoleum. If only my husband had just taken the time to fix it the night before when I asked him instead of playing checkers with Jonathan.
It was days like this that made me want to quit. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out.
Somehow I spent most of the day washing and drying clothes and thinking how love had disappeared from my life. As I finished hanging up the last of my husband's shirts, I looked at the clock. 2: 30. I was late. Jonathan's class let out at 2: 15 and I hurriedly drove to the school.
I was out of breath by the time I knocked on the teacher's door and peered through the glass. She rustled through the door and took me aside. "I want to talk to you about Jonathan, " she said.
I prepared myself for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. "Did you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today？" she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes. "Let me tell you about yesterday, " the teacher insisted. "See that little girl？" I watched the bright﹣eyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall. I nodded.
"Well, yesterday she was almost hysterical. Her mother and father are going through a nasty divorce. She told me she didn't want to live, she wished she could die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, 'Nobody loves me. ' I did all I could to comfort her but it only seemed to make matters worse. " "I thought you wanted to talk to me about Jonathan, " I said. "I do, " she said, touching the sleeve of my blouse. "Today your son walked straight over to that child. I watched him hand her some pretty pink flowers and whisper, 'I love you. '"
I felt my heart swell with pride for what my son had done. I smiled at the teacher. "Thank you, " I said, reaching for Jonathan's hand, "you've made my day. "
Later that evening, I began pulling weeds from around my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back to the love Jonathan showed the little girl, a biblical verse came to me："…these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. " While my son had put love into practice, I had only felt anger.
I heard the familiar squeak of my husband's brakes as he pulled into the drive. I snapped a small limb bristling with hot pink azaleas off the bush. I felt the seed of love that God planted in my family beginning to bloom once again in me. My husband's eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flowers. "I love you, " I said.

Almost every community has some form of rules and some way of enforcing them. So why do we have rules, and what makes people follow them？
Studies have suggested that the reason we don't like rule﹣breaking is because fairness is programmed into our brains. Scientists have found that the brain reacts in a particular way when we feel we are being treated unfairly. A fair situation makes us feel comfortable and even happy, but unfairness causes our brains to respond with negative feelings. The study found that this also happened when subjects saw others being treated unfairly. They concluded that fairness is one of basic human needs.
Arriving at a feeling of fairness means considering different, often conflicting, points of view. Regardless of the disagreement, people almost always need to compromise. But it can be difficult to arrive at a compromise when there are conflicting interests. This is why communities have rules that everyone must follow.
Social controls are an important factor in setting and following rules. They influence the way we behave, and can be internal（内在的） or external. Internal controls come from within and are based on our values and fears. Most of us don't steal, for example, because we believe that theft is unfair and wrong. We also don't want to disappoint our family and friends. In other words, our internal controls keep us from behaving in ways that cause conflict.
External controls include rewards and punishments. Rewards, such as job promotions and praise, are designed to encourage people to behave and act in the interest of the whole community.
Punishments, such as public embarrassment, fines, and even imprisonment can prevent people from acting against the community's best interests.
People need their communities to function smoothly. If there were no rules, most people would probably still behave positively. However, there would always be a minority who would not. This is why a society without rules is unlikely to exist.
28. What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A. A program in human brains. B. A comfortable situation.
C. The response with bad feelings. D. The requirement off fairness.
29. Why do communities have rules？
A. To punish illegal activities. B. To prevent disagreement.
C. To promote fairness. D. To meet various demands.
30. Which of the following is an example of internal control？
A. Take exams honestly because cheating is shameful
B. Park in the right place so as not to get a parking ticket.
C. Pay the electricity bill on time in order not to get a late fee.
D. Cooperate with your classmates to win a prize for your class.
31. What is the best title for this passage？
A. Living by the rules B. Why communities need rules
C. Reaching a compromise D. How fairness functions

Concerned about pollution and congestion (拥塞), a growing number of local governments are trying to reduce the number of drivers in Europe’s big cities. Some, like London and Stockholm, have introduced congestion charges to discourage driving during peak hours. Paris has tried banning cars from driving on certain days, depending on whether they have even or odd number plates. Perhaps the most ambitious plan to curb cars comes from Oslo, Norway’s capital.
The change that is most easily to be noticed in Oslo is somewhat different from that in other European cities. Late last year, the government removed some 700 parking spaces from the city centre, replacing them with benches, bicycles and more pavements. The mere 50 or so spots that remain are largely reserved for handicapped residents and local businesses that rely on deliveries. Another big change has come in the form of zoning reform. Some roads in the city centre have been closed off to private cars; others have been changed so that traffic can only flow in one direction.
Enforcement has been severe, though. The city government has placed signs informing drivers of the new rules, but not everyone has paid them much attention. In addition, Norway’s conservatives believe strongly in the idea of car ownership, and shopkeepers worry that fewer cars might mean fewer customers. It is still too early to assess how effect the new measures have been. Still, early data show that pedestrian traffic in the city centre was up by 10% in the fourth quarter of 2018 over a year earlier, which suggests the reforms are working as intended.
Hanna Marcussen, vice-mayor for urban development and a member of the Green Party, notes that Oslo’s most successful shops are on the high street, where most customers are pedestrians anyway. The government is busy compiling tax records to measure the economic impact of its reforms. Research on Stockholm’s congestion-pricing scheme finds that the benefits from factors such as shorter travel times and safer roads far outweigh the fees paid by drivers.
The fact that the city’s efforts to control traffic have been controversial has forced the government to take an incremental (递增的) approach, constantly negotiating with suspicious business owners. Ms. Marcussen compares the government’s traffic reforms to Norway’s public-smoking ban, which was passed in 2004. She said many people complained before the law was passed, but few today would demand loudly to let people smoke in pubs again.
32. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “curb” in paragraph 1？
A. Support. B. Control. C. Replace. D. Abandon.
33. What is the most visible change in Oslo？
A. The removal of public parking. B. Creating more one-way traffic.
C. The limitation on cars in rush hours. D. Placing strict restrictions on private cars.
34. What message is conveyed in the third paragraph?
A. Cars are hardly banned. B. Anti-car policies are in vain.
C. The car industry is declining. D. The reforms haven’t come easily.
35. What does Ms. Marcussen mean in the end?
A. New things need to be tested repeatedly. B. Timing is important to the success of reforms.
C. More efforts are to be put in the traffic reforms. D. Most people will finally support the traffic reforms.

"（40）　 　, see if you can shop for them or teach them to use an online and delivery option, " she says.
