The Bridge We Were Meant To Cross

My brother and I were driving home together and became engrossed in a conversation. Because of this distraction, my brother took a wrong turn.

Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Grudgingly, my brother paid the bridge toll and drove on. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $ 4.

We eventually reached an exit slip-way and, as we took it, my brother noticed a beat-up black Mustang pulled over to the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a wrench to get it off.

7 . A pair of businessmen are attempting to start a new human spaceflight company that, instead of launching rockets, will lift civilian passengers into the sky tied to a high-performance balloon.

Space Perspective aims to carry a capsule of eight passengers at a time, hanging from a balloon, 100, 000 feet above Earth. The balloon and capsule will gently rise for about two hours at 12 mph, floating along for another two hours as passengers enjoy refreshments and a view of the Earth below, and then descend back down at 12 mph and land in either the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean.

The goal is to make the flights as accessible and affordable to as many people as possible, one day possibly hosting weddings. Co-founders Jane Poynter and Taber MacCallum, who are married, said they expect prices to be around $125, 000 for a single ticket. “Everybody should be able to see the Earth from space, “ Poynter said. “We want them to really be able to experience what astronauts talk about, looking down at the Earth in that blackness of outer space. ”

But passenger flights are still some time away.

Hoping to perform its first test flight in early 2023, Space Perspective joins the groups of developing companies working to create an industry that can send paying passengers to the edges of space, generally thought to begin about 50 miles off Earth’s surface. Space Perspective’s balloon will reach about 20 miles.

Passengers will need very little training before taking a ride with Space Perspective, MacCallum said. During the flight, the inside of the capsule will be pressurized, and temperature will be controlled. Onboard there will be a pilot, paired with another down on Earth, who can also control the craft. A new balloon, which will be filled with hydrogen, will be used for each flight and materials from it recycled. The capsule will be able to be reused on many missions.

Presentations of the spacecraft, to be named Spaceship Neptune, show a large capsule with a circle of seats facing out to a row of windows. Poynter and MacCallum said a bar, a bathroom and an clear windowed roof at the top of the capsule will be combined into the design.

B．Sink.

C．Dive.

D．Fall.

2. Which of the following best describes the spaceflight according to the Co-founders?

B．Mysterious.

C．Sustainable.

D．Cheap.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Space Perspective plans to fly passengers in early 2023.

B．Space Perspective enables everybody to see the Earth above.

C．Space Perspective is to reuse the balloon and the capsule.

D．Space Perspective intends to transport common people into sky.

4. What is the purpose of the text?

A．To advertise a service.

B．To present a scene.

C．To introduce a project.

D．To share an adventure.

8 . Four famous British film locations

American and Canadian visitors to Britain are usually never quite as interested in film sites as British tourism folks seem to expect. For classic film lovers, however, Britain hardly lacks memorable film locations. Here is a great selection of recognizable locations from some of our favorite films.

Castle Howard, Yorkshire

Brideshead Revisited put Castle Howard on the map. The Yorkshire estate is a wonderful visit, virtually unchanged since the filming of Evelyn Waugh’s classic there in 1980. You can easily see Charles Ryder and Sebastian Flyte rowing on the lake. It’s an easy drive, or bus ride, east from York.

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

There are many scenes from Cambridge recognizable from the Academy Award-winning Chariots of Fire. Perhaps none are as memorable as the race Harold Abrahams and Lord Lynley run against the clock around Trinity College Great Court. Visit Gonville& Caius College and King’s College Chapel as well.

Dorchester, Dorset

So much of the surrounding countryside is recognizable as “Thomas Hardy country”. Dorchester itself, though, is Casterbridge played out in The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, and Far from the Madding Crowd. You almost expect to see Alan Bates or Julie Christie walking along Corn Street.

Castle Combe, Wiltshire

Long termed “the prettiest village in England”, Castle Combe just might be. The southern Cotswold village near Chippenham has been a film setmany times, perhaps most famously with Rex Harrison in Doctor Doolittle (1967).

1. Who is one character of Evelyn Waugh’s work?

A．Sebastian Flyte.

B．Julie Christie.

C．Harold Abrahams.

D．Rex Harrison.

2. What makes Dorchester famous?
