15、e-hour bus journey especially for passengers to sleep as much as they want. Tickets for the first tour on Oct. 16 sold out right away, the Washington Post reported.Many people find it easy. But why? According to a website, there are several possible reasons.White noiseWhite noise is a kind of noise

16、made by sounds with different frequencies (频率) together. Buses are often crowded every day with people going to and from work. Therefore, they are the perfect environment for white noise. They make continuing noises. White noise makes people feel relaxed and helps them sleep.Rocking movementAnother

17、popular view on why its easy to fall asleep on buses is because of the rocking movement. “The movement of buses feels like a mother shaking a baby in her arms. It is very comfortable,” Frankie Chow, the founder of Ulu Travel Agency, told the Washington Post.When you were a baby, you were rocked to s

18、leep. That makes you connect the rocking movement with sleeping. Sitting on a bus gives people similar experiences. Thats why you want to sleep. Its the rocking movement that induces sleep. Long periods of inactivityOn buses, you dont move around very much. You just sit down and enjoy the scenery as

19、 the bus moves along the road. Basically, youre away from the things that keep your mind and your physical body busy. This inactivity also slows your brain activity down because theres no stimulus (刺激物) to keep it awake.Increase in carbon dioxideBuses often get crowded with people going to and from

20、work. Carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) increases when there are lots of people in a small place. The thinner oxygen (氧气) slows the brain down, causing people to feel sleepy.19What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?ATo fall asleep.BTo ride a bus.CTo design a journey.DTo buy a ticket.20Which

23、ont want to live in them any longer? All over the world there are ghost towns, where people dont live any more.

25、pany started building a holiday resort (度假胜地) in the Sanzhi District of New Taipei City. For the next two years they built a lot of round buildings. They didnt look like normal houses, but more like spaceships. People called them the “UFO houses”. In 1980, they stopped building the houses because th

28、5, his grandson Henry Ford II sold Fordlandia. The company lost $20 million. The empty buildings of the town are still there today.About 70 years ago, Centralia was a busy town in Pennsylvania, USAIt had five hotels, seven churches and 19 big stores. In 1962, a fire started under the town at an old

29、mine (矿). They spent millions of dollars trying to stop it but that didnt work. It became too dangerous to live there and everyone had to leave the town. These days a sign across the road to the town tells people to “stay out”. The fire is still burning today.23Why should people “stay out” in the to

35、$94,000.
