10、 it to Los Angeles before midnight. It looked like it was going to be a good day.Then he saw it, a large lump in the middle of the road. Daryl often passed dead animals on the roadside but he knew then this was something different. He slammed on his brakes and the truck screeched to a halt.The lump
11、was a girl. He tried shaking her awake but she wouldnt move, so he picked her up and carried her to the side of the road. At least she wouldnt be run over there.Now she was someone elses problem. He had to make it to Los Angeles by midnight and didnt have time to be a here. He climbed back into his
12、truck but as he looked in his mirror and saw the girl lying still by the side of the road, he knew he couldnt leave her. Daryl put her into his truck and drove to the next town.An hour later he pulled up at the police station. After explaining what had happened, he prepared to leave, only for the po
13、liceman to say that he needed to make a report. Daryl knew this would take several hours, but he had no choice. There was no way hed get to Los Angeles on time now.Three hours later the report was done and the girl had recovered somewhat. She explained that she had fallen on the highway, weak from h
14、unger, but could remember nothing else. She also thanked Daryl for saving her life. Daryl told her that he had been happy to help, but as he got back into his truck he knew his boss wouldnt be.Just as he was about to pull back onto the road, his mother called. “Have you seen?” she said, “A bridge co

However, a university in Guang
19、xi Zhuang autonomous region is trying to put a stop to this trend on its campus.On Nov 1, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages banned food delivery services and disposable food boxes, both to its campus and dormitories.The ban immediately received fierce criticism from the universitys students, a
20、s well as internet users. Some complained that the ban made campus canteens very crowded. “There are not enough seats in the canteen, which forces us to eat standing up or squatting,” a student in the university surnamed Tan told Guangxi Television.The crowded canteens also mean that extra time is s
21、pent dining, which could have been used to nap during the lunch break. Some even complained that the canteen only provides a few dishes, most of which dont taste so great.Su Junlv, from the universitys student affairs office, explained that the ban was carried out because off-campus food posed safet
22、y risks for students. Its believed that take-away food had created a serious garbage problem, as there were often a large number of used food boxes found in campus garbage cans after students had finished their meals.According to Su, the ban was also brought in to help students develop a healthy lif
23、estyle. “While food delivery services bring convenience, they let students form some lazy habits,” Su told Xinhua. “They spend a whole day in the dorm playing video games, watching TV soap operas and ordering food online.”However, in the eyes of Liu Junhai, a professor at Renmin University of China,
24、 there are other approaches that universities could take to improve their students meal times. “Universities should explore how to improve the dining experience in the canteens, such as the queuing and variety of dishes,” he told Xinhua. 28.

25、 brought by food delivery.B. The effect of crowded canteens on students. C. A solution to stop students becoming lazy.D. A ban on food delivery in campus.29. In students opinion, what would be caused after the ban was carried out?A. It would take students less time to eat in the canteen.B. Students
26、would enjoy various tasty dishes in the canteen.C. Some students may have their meals without seats in the canteen.D. Students would have a longer nap during lunch break.30. According to Su Junlv, the ban is intended to A. tell the students all off-campus food is unhealthy.B. rid the campus of used
27、food boxes.C. force students to spend less time on entertainment.D. improve the dining experience in the canteens.31. What can we infer about Liu Junhais attitude to the ban?A. Negative B. Supportive C. Indifferent D. Skeptical DA survey of university backgrounds of heads of major global companies f
28、ound that Harvard in the United States was the most likely place to have studied in.The Times Higher Education magazine ranked the universities attended by chief executive officers (CEO) of Fortune Global 500 companies. There are four US universities in the top 10, with three from France, two from J
29、apan and one from South Korea. The highest ranked UK university is Oxford in 21st place.This league table, described as the Alma Mater Index, shows which universities around the world taught the bosses of some of the worlds biggest companies. One in 20 had a degree from a single institution, Harvard
30、. This included Margaret C. Whitman of Hewlett-Packard, Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric and Vittorio Colao of Vodafone.But the top 10 for producing business leaders does not contain all the usual names that appear at the top of university rankings. Oxford and Cambridge are absent, but the Univ
31、ersity of Pennsylvania in the US and Keio University in Japan are included, along with three French universities, headed by the Ecole Polytechnique.Across the top 100, universities from the US dominate, followed by universities in China, Japan, France and Germany. There are more CEOs who went to uni
32、versity in Asia than in Europe. In terms of national comparisons, UK universities produced the sixth highest number of global chief executives, with Oxford in 21st place and Cambridge in 45th place.But even though Harvard might have taught the biggest number of bosses from the top 500 companies, it was not attended by any of the heads of the biggest 10 companies, who were from a more diverse range of universities.Royal Dutch Shell is headed by
