　　The world of taxi drivers is dominated by men.But there is one small taxi company in Delhi，where all the drivers and passengers are female.Women's safety is a hot topic in India at the moment，so it's proving a very popular service.

　　“When I'm on the road driving our taxi I feel very proud，because this is the first taxi service only for women，”says 31­year­old Shanti Sharma，who is one of eight female drivers with a taxi service called Cabs for Women by Women.

　　The last couple of months，since the rape and murder in the city of a college student travelling on a bus，have been particularly busy for her and her colleagues.

　　“After this case，our workload has increased so much，” says Sharma.“Women who used other cab services are also turning to us now.”

　　Most women in Delhi say they routinely face harassment(骚扰)，and worse，especially on public transport.

　　Sharma，a single parent with three daughters，has been working as a taxi driver since 2011，when the service was first set up，and it has changed her life.This is the first time that she has earned enough—about

　　250 a month—to support her family.

　　Of course，she and the other female taxi drivers are completely outnumbered by male cabbies.“When I park somewhere there are always men there and inevitably five or six of them get together and hang out，” she says.“I'm usually the only woman in the parking lot，so I just stay inside the car.”

　　It's not much better when she is out on the road.Sharma says the male drivers give her a hard time.“As soon as they see a woman at the wheel they start honking(按喇叭) for no reason.They'll try to overtake you.I'm always worrying about how to avoid getting hit by someone.”

　　The company behind Cabs for Women by Women，Sakha Consulting Wings，had a number of goals when it set up the service.It wanted to give women from poor backgrounds an opportunity to earn money.By putting women in charge of technologies，it also wanted to change people's attitudes，and open up boundaries for women.

　　Bobbi Kristina Brown's family has been gathered around her since she was hospitalized on Saturday after being found unconscious in the bathtub of her suburban Atlanta townhome.

　　Whitney Houston's only child is now at Emory University Hospital and is still fighting for her life, as a family statement said on Monday.

　　Nothing has changed, despite reports that are popping up and painting a more serious picture.

　　Fox News reported Wednesday that the situation is horrific. “It's now a matter of when the family wants to let go and accept that she's pretty much not going to make it，” a source told FOX411. “They've left it up to the family as to how long they want to keep her alive.”

　　People Magazine is also reporting that a doctor told Brown's family on Wednesday that nothing more could be done. “Everyone is coming to the hospital to say goodbye，” said a family member.

　　And the Daily Mail says Brown has been taken off life support.

　　But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.

　　“If we issued a statement every time the media published a false report regarding this matter, that's all we would be doing 24 hours a day. This is false, just as is the vast majority of the other reporting that is currently taking place，” he said, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

　　A source close to the family tells USA TODAY that it's wrong to say the family is gathering to say goodbye, because the family has been there since the beginning, so nothing is any different today for them.

　　Also, Brown is “not brain dead，” as has been reported.

　　And, as for other stories saying that the Houston family is feuding with Bobbi Kristina's dad, Bobby Brown? Those aren't true either. They “are NOT fighting，” says our source.

　　文章大意：本文主要讲Kristina病危，几家报社的报道都失真，一家人仍在祈祷出现奇迹。

　　1．According to Fox News, Bobbi Kristina is ________.

　　A．within an inch of life　B．on the way to success

　　C．left aside by her family D．in a good state

　　答案： A　细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知选A。within an inch of life半死；on the way to success在成功的路上；left aside by her family被家人放在一边；in a good state状态良好。

　　2．Bobby Brown holds the opinion that ________.

　　A．they are busy issuing statements all day

　　B．the family is saying goodbye to Kristina

　　C．he is getting along well with the Houston family

　　D．most journalists are getting the wrong end of the stick.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第七段But Bobby Brown issued a statement late Thursday denying these reports.可知Bobby Brown认为大部分记者报道失真。故选D。

　　3．Which can be the best title of the passage?

　　A. An Accident In The Bathtub

　　B. Kristina, We're Still Praying And Waiting On A Miracle

　　C. False Reports From Different News Media

　　D. Bobbi Kristina's Final Days

　　答案：B　主旨大意题。通读文章，并根据文章的最后一段可知全家人仍在等待奇迹的出现。可知B正确。

　　【由广东省广州市201阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Stage fright or performance anxiety is the anxiety, or fear which may occur in an individual by the requirement to perform in front of an audience. It is most commonly seen in school situations, like stand-up projects and class speeches. It has numerous forms: heart beating fast, trembling hands and legs, sweaty hands, dry mouth etc.

　　In fact, most of the fear occurs before you step on stage. Once you’re up there, it usually goes away. Thus, it is a phenomenon that you must learn to control. Try to think of stage fright in a positive way. It heightens your energy, adds color to your cheeks. With these good side effects you will actually look healthier and more physically attractive.

　　Many of the top performers in the world get stage fright so you are in good company. Stage fright may come and go or decrease, but it usually does not disappear permanently. You must concentrate on getting the feeling out and present what you have prepared calmly.

　　Remember “Nobody” ever died from stage fright. But, according to surveys, many people would rather die than give a speech. If that applies to you, and you are an unlucky guy who is with stage fright the whole time, try out some of the strategies(策略) as follows to help get yourself under control. Realize that you may never overcome stage fright, but you can learn to control it, and use it to your advantage.

　　Strategies are as follows when the program begins:

　　1) If legs are trembling, lean on table or shift legs or move.

　　2) Don’t hold notes. The audience can see them shake. Use three-by-five cards instead.

　　3) Use eye contact. Look at the friendliest faces in the audience.

　　Remember nervousness doesn’t show one-tenth as much as it feels. Before each presentation, make a short list of the items you think will make you feel better. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations. You never know which ones will work best until you try. Use these steps to control stage fright so it doesn’t control you. Once you are used to stage fright, you will find you on the road to a great speech-maker.
