In the 1900s in America, kids traveled t schl in different ways. Many walked. Others rde n farm trucks r n bikes. Sme rde n schl buses called "kid hacks". Kid hacks were wden hrse-drawn carriages. It had tw lng bench seats with little space in the middle fr peple t pass. The carriages were pen n the sides, s kids might get wet n rainy days!
By the mid-1920s, mre cars were n the rads, and sme transprt cmpanies started t make buses ut f steel. But buses still lked different frm place t place.
That changed in 1939, when transprtatin fficials frm arund the cuntry met t cme up with a set f standards fr schl buses. They wanted t make buses safer. Besides, if all schl buses lked alike, it wuld be easier fr factries t build them quickly and mre cnveniently.
The schl bus's clr was ne f the 44 standards peple discussed at that seven-day meeting. After trying 50 Aunds f clr n the wall, they settled n the range-yellw. And that's still what yu see n buses tday. Natinal Schl Bus Glssy Yellw, as the clr is fficially called, has advantages. The clr was chsen because studies had shwn yellw was the mst eye-catching t human beings and because it culd be seen clearly in the mrning and evening light when schl buses usually perated.
And nw the yellw bus is abut t g green. The American Schl Bus Cuncil says that ver 25 millin schl children ride n mre than 480,000 schl buses each day, making schl buses the largest transprt system in America. Fewer than 1,200 f thse buses were electric in 2020, but that number culd rise t 10,000 by 2026.
S the next time yu step nt a schl bus, yu can feel gd knwing that yur ride is much safer and drier than it wuld have been 100 years ag!

Once when I was six years ld, I saw an amazing picture in a bk called True Stries frm Nature abut the frest. It was a picture f a snake in the act f swallwing an animal. In the bk it said: "Snakes swallw the whle animal withut chewing（嚼） it. After that they are nt able t mve and they sleep thrugh the six mnths that they need fr digestin（消化）."

I thught deeply then ver the adventures f the frest. And after sme wrk with a clred pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing, my Drawing Number One. I shwed my wrk t the grwn-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: "Frighten? Why shuld anyne be frightened by a hat?"

My drawing was nt a picture f a hat. It was a picture f a snake digesting an elephant. But since the grwn-ups were nt able t understand it, I made anther drawing. I drew the inside f the snake s that the grwn-ups culd see it clearly. They a:ways need t have things explained. That's my Drawing Number Tw.
The grwn-ups' answer this time was t advise me t lay aside my drawings f snakes whether frm the inside r the utside and devte myself instead t gegraphy, histry, maths and grammar. That is why at the age f six I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been discuraged by the failure f my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Tw. Grwn-ups never understand simple things by themselves and it is tiresme fr children t be always and frever explaining things t them.
S then I chse anther prfessin（职业） and learned t pilt airplanes. I have flwed a little ver all parts f the wrld; and it is true that gegraphy has been very gd fr me. I can tell China frm Arizna easily. If ne gets lst in the night, such knwledge is valuable.
In my life I have had lts f chances t meet with a great many peple. And that hasn't much imprved my pinin f them. Whenever I met n; e f them wh seemed t me at all clear-sighted, I tried shwing him my Drawing Number One which I have always kept. I wuld try t find ut if this was a persn f true understanding. But whever it was, he r she wuld always say: That is a hat. Then I wuld never talk t that persn abut snakes r frests r stars. I wuld bring myself dwn t his level. I wuld talk t him abut glf and plitics and neckties. And the grwn-up wuld be greatly pleased t have mt such a wise man. Fr him I am a nrmal man.
51. Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. The writer wants t draw a hat in Drawing Number One.
B. The writer sees an elephant eaten by a snake in the frest.
C. Drawing Number Tw shws the inside f the big snake.
D. The tw drawings f the writer make peple very scared.
52. In Paragraph 6, why des the writer always keep his Drawing Number One?
A. T knw wh truly understands life. B. T shw ff his gd drawing.
C. T make ther peple pleased. D. T bring himself dwn t a lw level.

Mst f the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have cme frm animals. The mre we cme int cntact with wild animals, the mre we risk a s-called disease "spillver" frm animals t humans.
"As peple mve and wildlife mve in respnse t a changing envirnment, humans and wildlife and animals will cme in cntact mre regularly," said Jeanne Fair frm the Ls Alams Natinal Labratry in New Mexic. Fair argues that by shifting animal habitats, climate change will als make the pprtunities fr disease spillver mre frequent（频繁的）. "Everything is srt f shifting and will shift int the future as the envirnment changes thrugh climate change," Fair said.
Scientists, including climatlgists and epidemilgists n Fair's team at Las Alame, are beginning t mdel hw changes t the climate will impact the spread f infectius diseases. It's early days fr this kind f research, but previus studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a rle in at least ne utbreak. Scientists say drught and defrestatin have cmbined t frce bats ut f rainfrests and int rchards（果园）in Malaysia t find fd. Thse bats, a cmmn disease reservir, then passed the Nipah virus thrugh pigs t humans fr the first time in the late 1990s.
"We're ging by the past data t really predict what's ging t happen in the future," Fair said. "And s, anytime yu increase that wildlife-human interface, that's srt f an emerging disease ht spt. And s, that's just increasing as we g frward."
Jeffrey Shaman, head f the climate and health prgram at Clumbia University's public health schl, argues we dn't yet knw whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectius disease rates glbally. Fr example, msquites carry disease that affects（影响） millins f peple acrss the wrld every year. As . their habitats expand in sme parts f the wrld, they might cntract diseases elsewhere. Shaman says what we knw fr certain abut climate change is that it will make it harder t predict where disease utbreaks will pp up.
54. Hw des climate change affect the spread f disease accrding, t Fair?
A. By breaking animals' habits. B. By increasing animals' numbers.
C. By imprving animals' breeding（繁殖）. D. By changing animals` living envirnment.
55. What is the example f bats fr in paragraph 3?
A. Explaining the influence f Nipah virus.
B Prving the harm f bats t human beings.
C. Shwing the effects f climate change n disease
D. Presenting scientists' early study abut the cause f disease.
56 What can we infer（推断） frm Fair's wrds in paragraph 4?
A. Humans shuld give up studying animals.
B. Frequent cntact with animals can cause disease utbreaks.
C. Disease ht spts will disappear if animals die ut.
D. Past data can slve the prblems in the future.
57. What culd be the best title fr the text?
A. Climate Change and Disease Spillver B. Animals' Interactin with Humans
C. Scientists' Predictin fr Disease Outbreaks D. Early Studies abut Extreme Weather
