15、hen he returned, the money was gone. Gary then asked his brother Gavin, “Did you see that twenty-dollar bill on the cash register? Gavin said that he had not. But Gary did not let it go and kept asking. “Twenty-dollar bills cant walk away by themselves! Surely you must have seen it.” “I said I didnt
16、 see it!” Gavin replied with anger. The quarrel divided the young men and they could no longer work together. Later, a wall was built in the center of the store. For twenty years, hostility (敌意) never ended. One day, a strange man came to the store. He walked in and asked Gary, “How long have you be
17、en here?” Gary replied that hed been there all his life. “Then you are the person Im looking for,” the man said. “Twenty years ago, I was totally broke and hungry. I entered this store from the back door and saw a twenty-dollar bill on the cash register. And I took it. All these years I havent been
18、able to forget that. I had to come back and apologize for that. The stranger felt shocked when seeing tears well up in the eyes of the middle-aged man in front of him. “Would you please go next door and tell the same story to the man in the store?” Gary asked. Then something surprised the stranger e
19、ven more-after hearing his story, the two middle-aged men hugged each other and cried together in the front of the wall of the store. After twenty years, the wall that separated them finally came down.26. Why was Gavin angry? A. Because he was not trusted by his brother. B. Because he got little mon

23、 walk the red light together, may be surprised at recent research which showed that they are more patient than people abroad. A study looked at more than 1,800 walkers at three busy Shanghai crossings (交叉路口). It found that an average Chinese walker ran out of patience at red lights after 90 seconds.
24、 But theres an interesting fact: the average Germans endurance ability (耐性) was around 60 seconds while the British only 45 seconds and the American 40 seconds. People will take no notice of the red lights when the waiting time exceeds (超过) their patience time. “A lot of Chinese traffic lights are c
25、ar-friendly instead of walker-friendly,” said Ni Ying, who led the research team. As there are more and more car users in the city, city planners are giving them more convenience on the roads, according to her. The study also found that at some crossings, walkers waited longer than 150 seconds, and
26、at other crossings the wait could be as long as 200 seconds. However, most red lights abroad do not exceed 120 seconds. The study suggested that planners should think about the walking pace (步幅) of people from different age groups, especially middle-aged people and seniors, in order to make the road
27、s more walker-friendly. But the citys traffic police do not agree. They argue that the roads are built not just for the walkers, but also for cars. “To give more time for walkers would cut down the time for cars,” a traffic policeman said. “On a busy traffic day, it can make traffic worse.”31.

The research team.34. How could roads become more friendly to walkers according to the study? A. By taking away
30、the traffic lights. B. By making the roads wider and look nicer. C. By changing the waiting time according to peoples walking pace. D. By stopping the middle-aged people from walking across the roads.35. Which of the following will the traffic police agree with? A. Its right to give more time to walkers. B.
