Five days off work is a harsh penalty for dragging a woman alongside a bus by her arm? Baxa said, "Any time you take money away from someone, it is a harsh punishment. The driver makes $14 an hour. Multiply that by 40 and you can see what he lost. "
Yes, that comes to $560, a tidy sum. But we know that people in the private sector are fired for far less every day. If the people who run the CTA think that the loss of a week's pay is more than enough, I offer them a sporting proposition: Give me a bus. Then have their wives stick their arms in the doorway of the bus, and I'll slam the door shut, stop the gas pedal and take them for a fast one-block jog. And I'll pay $560 to anyone who is bold enough to try it. Any takers? Mr. Baxa? Anybody? I didn't think so.
1.The nurse half-entered one of the buses because____.
A、the bus they wanted didn't stop there
B、she wanted the driver to stop the bus
C、she wanted to get some information from the driver
D、she and her uncle couldn't wait any longer at the corner
2.The reason why the woman trotted alongside the bus was that____.
A、she couldn't get herself away from the bus
B、the driver closed the door before she heard the answer
C、she was dragged by the bus driver
D、she wanted to get the driver's badge number
3.How many blocks was the woman away from the corner where she waited when the bus driver finally let her off? ____
A、Almost one block.
B、Almost two blocks.
C、Probably three blocks.
D、Probably five or six blocks.
4.The bus driver's punishment was____.
A、being dismissed from the CTA
B、being out of work for a week
C、paying a fine of $560
D、working without pay for five days
5.Why did the author offer a sporting proposition? ____
A、Because the CTA paid little attention to the incident.
B、Because the bus driver had not been fired.
C、Because he wanted to threaten the CTA people.
D、Because he thought the penalty was not a harsh on

听力原文: Good morning everyone. My name is Craig Stone, and I'll be your guide for today's tour of Kyoto. First, I want to go over the itinerary of the tour, so everyone can enjoy the trip without being worried about being left behind along the way. Of course, no one has gotten lost so far.
First of all, we'll be leaving at 9:i5 outside the main train station exit. Be sure to board the bus by 9:00 sharp.
We'll be visiting some of the most famous historical spots in Kyoto. Our first stop will be at the Golden Pavilion, a temple constructed in 1397. We'll be leaving there at 10:30. You'll have about forty-five minutes to stroll around the temple and its gardens.
Our next destination will be Ryoanji Temple. That's always a difficult one to pronounce. This temple is famous for its beautiful rock garden. We'll depart from the temple at 11:45.
Next, we'll have lunch from 12:00 to 12:45.
In the afternoon, we'll be making a brief stop at Heian Jingu Shrine, which was constructed in 1895 to commemorate the 1,100th anniversary of the founding of the city of Kyoto.
After that, we'll head downtown and stop in Gion. Many people asked me about different traditional shopping areas, and this is a place we don't want to miss. You'll have about an hour to look around, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the atmosphere of the entire area—the shops, the homes, and the restaurants. We'll be leaving Gion at 2:30.
Finally, we'll visit Nijojo Castle, which was the residence of the first Tokugawa Shogun. You'll have about an hour to tour the .castle. and we'll meet at the bus at 4:00.
