15、 59. But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the schools busing company redrew its route map, canceling Nias bus. Now Nia and her neighbors travel the half mile to school via a “walking school bus”a group of kids, supervised (监护) by an ad
16、ult or two, who make the walk together.Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly because many did so themselves. According to a 1979 survey, nearly half of school kids walked or biked to school, compared with only 16 percent in 2011. Modern parents have been unwilling to
17、 let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, those concerns have reduced.Schools and busing companies are finding other ways to save. In rural areas where busing is a must, some schools have even chosen four-day school weeks. Busing co
18、mpanies instruct drivers to cancel extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling(挂空挡). They are also using computer software to determine the most fuel-efficient routes, which arent always the shortest ones.There could be disadvantages, however, to the busing cutbacks. If every for
19、merly bused student begins walking to school, its an environmental winbut if too many of their parents decide to drive them instead, the overall carbon footprint can grow. Replacing buses with many more parent-driven cars can also increase safety risks. A 2011 report concluded students are 13 times
20、safer on a school bus than in a passenger car, since buses have fewer accidents and withstand them better due to their size.

It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simp
23、le metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich image, a metaphor can communicate so much about a particular image that poets use them more than any other type of figurative language. The reason for this is that poets compose their poe
24、try to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to be may or may not be our understanding of love. Therefore, the poets job is to enable us to experience it, to feel it the same way as the poet does. Lets analyze this remarkably simple
25、metaphor concerning love and the rose to see what it offers. Because the poet uses a comparison with a rose, first we must examine the characteristics of that flower. A rose is impressive in its beauty, its petals(花瓣)are nicely soft, and its smell is pleasing. Its possible to say that a rose is actu
26、ally a feast to the senses of sight, touch, and smell. The roses appearance seems to border on perfection, each petal seemingly equal in form.

When one reaches out with absolute trust to touch the object of his or her affection, ouch, a thorn can cause great harm! “Be careful,” the metaphor warns, “Love
28、is a feast to the senses, but it can overwhelm us, and it can also hurt us and cause acute suffering.” This is the poets understanding of lovean admonition (劝诫). What is the point?Just this: It took almost 14 sentences to clarify what a simple metaphor communicates in only four words! That is the ar

A. description of two similar objects in a poetic way B. literary device specially employed in poetry writing C. contrast between two different things to create a vivid image D. comparison between two different objects with similar features 60.
