If you have lost an item on a CTtransit bus, you must first call Lost & Found and speak with a Customer Service Representative for your area. If CTtransit is in possession of your lost item, and you can confirm ownership, then you may schedule a time to get your item back. If you have scheduled a time with Customer Service to get back your lost item, when you arrive at the facility gate, give your name to the security guard. You must have a photo ID available to show CTtransit Security or another form of valid ID to confirm your date of birth and address. The security guard will direct you to the pick-up location. If you misplace something on the bus, there is a good chance that we will find it. Each day, operators pick up articles left on their buses and turn them in to the office. Lost items that are recovered are kept for 30 days. CTtransit is not responsible for items left on the buses.

To call someone bird-brained in English means you think that person is silly or stupid. But will this description soon disappear from use in the recent research? It seems English may have been unfair in association bird’s brains with stupidity. In an attempt to find out how different creatures see the world，psychologists at Brown University in the USA have been comparing the    behaviour of birds and humans.One experiment has involved teaching pigeons to recognize letters of the English alphabet.The birds study in “classrooms”，which are boxes equipped with a computer.After about four days of studying a particular letter, the pigeon has to pick out that letter from several displayed on the computer screen.Three male pigeons have learned to distinguish all twenty-six letters of the alphabet in this way. A computer record of the birds7 four-month study period has shown surprising similarities between the pigeons’ and human performance.Pigeons and people find the same letters easy, or hard，to tell apart.For example, 92 percent of the time the pigeons could tell the letter D from the letter Z.But when faced with U and V ( often confused by English children)，the pigeons were right only 34 percent of the time. The results of the experiments so far have led psychologists (心理学家）to conclude that pigeons and humans observe things in similar ways.This suggests that there is something basic about the recognition process.If scientists could only discover just what this recognition process is, it could be very useful for computer designers.The disadvantage of a present computer is that it can only do what a human being has programmed it to do and the programmer must give the computer precise，logical instructions.Maybe in the future，though，computers will be able to think like human beings. 4．Why does the writer suggest the expression “bird-brained” might be out of use? A．It is silly. B．It is impolite. C．It is unnecessary. D．It is inappropriate. 5．According to the experiment, who could be confused by U and V? A．92 percent of pigeons. B．Many English children. C．Most people learning English. D．34 percent of English children. 6．Which can best explain the similarities in observing things by pigeons and humans? A．Pigeons and humans find letters equally fast. B．Pig eons have brains more developed than other birds. C．Their basic ways to know the world are the same. D．Pigeons and humans have similar brains. 7．Who can benefit from the research? A．Computer designers. B．Computer salesmen. C．Psychologists. D．Teachers. It was Saturday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I remember my own feelings when I was 13. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, can I please have a room of my own? I could use Jeff’s. He won’t mind.” It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could — or should — know everything about him. It turned out that getting Jeff’s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won’t be living at home again — you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no doors closed here — they had all opened up again. As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff’s things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again. 8．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．John was eager to get a room of his own. B．Jeff was moving to live with his brother. C．Jeff refused to let his brother have his room. D．Jeff volunteered to give his room to John. 9．The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “Jeff_______.” A．finally flew out of the house B．would have less to do with his family C．needed his right to privacy D．got tired of those familiar stories 10．How did the author feel about his children’s sense of independence? A．Delighted. B．Confused. C．Jealous. D．Embarrassed. 11．It can be inferred from the passage that _______. A．the children did not like to live with adults B．all her three kids made the author feel depressed C．none of the members in the family thought the same way D．the author loved and missed the time together with her kids Weather could power the next generation of smart windows. Researchers have created glass by harvesting energy from wind and precipitation(降水).The approach offers an alternative to other smart windows powered by batteries, solar panels, and even standard power outlets. “The creation represents a new kind of renewable energy source”, says Liming Dai, a nanomaterial engineer at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, who was not involved in the research. Smart glass, which changes its characteristics to block out light or heat, has been around for decades. Common examples include glare-fighting rearview(后视) car mirrors and windows that change color for energy savings and privacy. But many are expensive, and people are still looking for eco-friendly ways to power the windows. Batteries and plug-in outlets aren’t apparently “green”, and built-in solar panels can cloud or hide parts of the glass. In experiments, the glass produced up to 130 milliwatts per square meter, enough to power a pacemaker or a smart phone while it’s asleep, the team reported online last month in ACS Nano. This output might suit many applications, such as being a power source for home or office electronics, says co-developer and scientist Zhong Wang of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta Since their first project in 2012, a light-up sidewalk powered by footsteps, he and his colleagues have miniaturized their generators to create everything from self-cleaning keyboards to sensors for security systems. But Wang and colleagues still have more work to do before this smart glass is ready for commercialization. Now, the glass has no way to store the energy it creates. To solve this problem, Dai says, transparent supercapacitors(超级电容器) could be placed into the glass without decreasing visibility. For now, the team wants to improve the energy efficiency of their nanogenerators. These tiny power plants can convert about 60% of the mechanical energy that they encounter into electricity. “The output power is a constant goal,” Wang says. “Free energy surrounds us, and anything can happen if you take control of it." 12．What is unique about the smart glass? A．It can protect privacy. B．It is more expensive. C．It is powered by weather. D．It can block out light and heat. 13．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．The research history of Zhong Wang. B．The experimental process of Zhong Wang. C．The research theory of Zhong Wang’s team. D．The experimental findings of Zhong Wang's team. 14．What is the drawback of the smart glass? A．It cannot suit the supercapacitors. B．It cannot keep its produced electricity. C．It cannot power a smart phone. D．It cannot change its color according to weather. 15．Which of the following best explains “convert” underlined in the last paragraph? A．Transform. B．Consume. C．Waste. D．Reserve. 二、七选五（共10分） How to Make Friends ____16____ Indeed, there are many things in life which we alone cannot perform. We need friends’ help. Friends are people who willingly and readily help us when we are in trouble, and show sympathy for us when we are in misery. ____17____ For example, when we have passed the graduation examination and are looking for a job, we need experienced and reliable friends to guide us and help us on our way.
