　　Today I went to Berkeley, near our old neighborhood. I was a bit surprised by the increased number of homeless (alternatively housed) people walking around. I remember there are more in certain areas. So the first man who asked me for money got all my single bills. So when the second man asked me two minutes later, I said I was out because I gave all I had to the previous person.

　　I was headed to the grocery store for a coffee and after I left the store I walked out to find him as he had asked me for something because he was hungry and I invited him to go into the grocery store with me.

　　When I asked him what he wanted to eat, he just asked for vegetable and rice. He talked about how much better the vegetables were as we waited for our number to be called. While we waited he told me that he had slept outside last night on the sidewalk, that it was not good, and that he had come from Rwanda and was alone. He was a gentleman. When I asked if he wanted more he said, this bowl of food would last him the whole day.

　　I don’t know what his circumstances were before he came to California, and wandering and begging on the streets could somehow be better because you just never know what had happened to him. He seemed like a kind soul who just needed some help like we all do. I am grateful I did a little to help him today.

　　Most middle school students find it boring to learn Math. But students in Yat Sen middle school in New York, US, don’t think so. Why? Because they are in the school of One Program, which asks students to work on their own or in small groups on computers to have math lessons.

　　Students enjoy these math lessons, especially lessons with video games. They must find out the answers to math problems to get through the game. One such game is Dimension M. As students move through mazes(迷宮) with their keyboards, some questions come up.

　　Caleb Deng had to answer the question: What is 5+ (6×3)? He calculated on paper quickly because there was just a minute left to play.

　　The Eurotunnel is a tunnel（隧道） which crosses the Channel under the sea, linking France and the UK. It is about 50.5 km long and 38km lies under the seabed. There are trains which carry passengers and cars, and others which carry carriages or other heavier vehicles（車輛）, as well as goods.

　　The construction of the tunnel started in 1986, with a cost of almost 10 billion pounds. It was opened in 1994 but was not financially successful until 2007, because of the interest rates (利率) the company had to pay the banks, as well as low earnings from passengers and goods.

　　The Eurotunnel is a very convenient way of traveling between the two countries as the journey is quick (less than one hour), cheap, and comfortable. You can go with your car, motorbike or bike. The tunnel operates every day, round the clock. At the busiest times there are up to three shuttle departures (班次) per hour. There are facilities (設施) for disabled passengers, and for babies at the two terminals (終點站).$

　　The Eurotunnel, also commonly known as the Channel Tunnel, Eurochannel and Eurochunnel is environmentally friendly. It perfects its sources of energy through its use of renewable energy with the result that, by 2008, it had reduced its greenhouse gas emissions（排量） by 45%.

　　In addition, 50% of the waste produced is recycled.

　　The future of the Eurotunnel seems promising, although there are some people who have the fear of enclosed (與外界隔絕的) spaces and would never use this type of transportation. There have been some problems with snow storms like the one in the winter of the 2009 which have made the services stop for a period of time, leaving passengers in the tunnel for more than 15 hours without light, heating, food or drink, inside an unmoving train under the sea. Some of the passengers reacted very badly and have decided not to use this means of transport ever again.

　　32. Why was the Eurotunnel not financially successful at first?

　　A. It was free for passing trains

　　B. Many people disliked it.

　　C. Its operating cost was very high.

　　D. It was heavily in debt (債務).

　　33. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

　　A. The wonderful design of the Eurotunnel

　　B. A traveling guide to the Eurotunnel

　　C. The advantages of the Eurotunnel.

　　D. An introduction of the Eurotunnel’s equipment.

　　34. We can infer from the text that the Eurotunnel

　　A. used environmentally friendly energy

　　B. was completely built under the seabed

　　C. was designed for passenger trains

　　D. operated successfully without any accident

　　35. What is the author’s attitude towards the Eurotunnel?

　　A. Cautious

　　B. Optimistic

　　C. Negative

　　D. Doubtful
