Part III Reading and comprehension.

Mr Brown lived in a house less than two miles away from his office. He was able to drive home every day for lunch. One day when he drove home in the middle of the day, he found that many cars were parked on the road outside his house and there was no room for his own car. He had to drive two hundred metres more before he could find a place to park his car. Then he had to walk back home. This made him very angry.
Then he set up a board in the garden facing the road. It had two words “No Parking” on it, but nobody seemed to notice it. If it was a blue board with the words “Police Notice: No Parking”, no car would be parked in front of his house. So, Mrs Brown suggested that he make one like the police notice. Mr Brown said he was not the police and couldn’t use the word “police”. But Mr Brown decided he must find a way out and started thinking hard.
Several days passed. One evening, he showed his wife a new blue board with the words “Polite Notice: No Parking” on it. “Oh!” Mrs Brown said. “You told me you weren’t going to use the word ‘police’, but this is just like a police notice.” “Is it?” Mr Brown asked. “Look again.” Mrs Brown started to laugh. “You are really clever.”

On 18 November, 1908, three men went up in a balloon (气球). They started early in London. The headman was Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.
Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope, and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight (重量). It was used over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men’s basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand, but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were falling, so they had to drop some bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.
It was still snowing. At last they pulled the box into the basket, so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometres from London!

Young people and old people do not always agree with each other. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special programme in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.
Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and fun in work. Some teenagers work in the forests or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.
There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn painting or drawing. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to pass his free time.
When people live together, they should have rules. In this programme the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”
One of the teenagers has said something about it, “You have to stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”
