One evening,I left work and boarded the train.After entering,I noticed something unusual.The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowded with people standing.I didn't pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats.I sensed a funny smell.It wasn't long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me.He was bleeding from his nose.Why wasn't anyone helping him? His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell.Along with the smell,his eyes were dull,watery and red.Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime.As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him.All the seats around him were empty. Suddenly,he began to swear at the people around him.A plain clothes policeman who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man.The officer,not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train.As the officer walked the man out of the train,the homeless man turned around and said "MY HOME!" and started crying.

According to History.com,Roman emperor Julius Caesar is the “father”of Leap Year.Until he came along,people used a 355-day calendar,which was 10.25 days shorter than the solar year.Roman officials were supposed to add an extra month every now and then to keep the seasons exactly where they should be.But that didn’t work out all that well.When special occasions started shifting into different seasons around 45 BCE,Caesar consulted with astronomers and decreed (下令) that the empire should use a 12-month,365-day calendar,which he named after himself.Caesar’s Julian calendar included a Leap Day every four years. Though Leap Day keeps your calendar in line with the earth’s rotation around the sun,it causes a different kind of problem for leapsters.When should these February 29th babies celebrate their birthdays during the other three-quarters of their lives?Some party on February 28th,while others prefer a two-day celebration that spans the last day of February and the first day of March. Leap Day can be a nuisance in the legal system.In 2006,a court in Massachusetts was deciding whether criminal John Melo could be released a day early since his 10-year sentence included a Leap Day.In the case,the judge decided that since the man was sentenced to prison for years,not days,Leap Day didn’t make a bit of difference. Though a few timekeepers have pushed for calendars that don’t include Leap Day,almost all astronomers and societies agree that Leap Day is the best method to keep the calendar on track. 8.Why was Leap Day created? A.To create special occasions. B.To honor Emperor Julius Caesar. C.To keep pace with solar year. D.To keep track of all the seasons. 9.What is the problem with the birthday celebration of February 29th babies? A.It is sometimes delayed. B.It lasts at least two days. C.It has to be held every other year. D.It may take place on different dates. 10.What does the underlined word “nuisance” in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Joke. B.Topic. C.Trouble. D.Mistake. 11.What is the attitude of most astronomers towards Leap Day? A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Doubtful. D.Cautious. （D） Interactions between people and elephants have a long history.Elephants have been trained and used by human beings for thousands of years,for everything from transportation to construction,from logging (伐木) to war. In more recent times,Asian elephants have been used in entertainment and as a living “machine” to help move logs through the jungle as part of the logging industry.The latter changed in Thailand in 1989,when the Thai government banned logging.Owners of elephants had very little choice but to turn to tourism to earn enough to care for themselves and their elephants by offering elephant riding to tourists. Mahouts are the elephant handlers who you will see riding or managing the elephants at any camp you visit.Traditionally,being a mahout is part of the family business,and a young family member is matched with a young elephant,and they spend most of their lives together.The traditional mahout life isn’t easy.Since they are bonded to their elephant,they rarely have time off or time for family. These years,younger mahouts in Thailand have been more likely to leave the mahout life to find jobs in the city,resulting in elephants having to get used to multiple mahouts.This can lead to additional stress on the elephant,or result in abuse by a mahout trying to manage an elephant that hasn’t built any level of trust with him. Opponents of elephant riding may suggest that elephant rides be outlawed.My worry is that an immediate ban could lead to another massive change in how elephants are treated,similar to ending logging in 1989.How will mahouts that are currently making a living and supporting their elephants through rides be able to continue to do so?The average lifespan of an elephant is 60 years.Any solution needs to take into account the long-term effects on the el
