A special trip
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, \
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. \nothing,\I told her, \just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.\
\you're such a good man.\She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, \ \
\临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long. I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, \ We drove in silence to the address she had given me. \ \
\ \
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.

Our hug ended with her remark, \She said \
I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. For the rest of the day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had got an unfriendly driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift(换班)? What if I had refused to take the run?
44. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to . A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last time C. let the driver earn more money D. reach the hospice on time 45. What does the underlined word \ A. 车门

Life in Space
The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet(芭蕾) dancer. \month tour on the International Space Station. \
On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it's just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station people have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help mix air, the carbon dioxide you exhale(呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible(隐的) cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
