But as fuel prices rose, the school district needed to find a way to cut its transportation costs. So the sch
17、ools 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 adult or two, who make the walk together.Many parents are delighted to see their kids walking to school, partly beca
18、use 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 let kids walk to school for fear of traffic, crime or simple bullying, but with organized adult supervision, thos
19、e 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 companies instruct drivers to cancel extra stops from routes and to turn off the engine while idling(挂空挡). They are
20、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.

24、oxide emissions D. a decrease in the safety of school busesBA metaphor is a poetic device that deals with comparison. It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simple metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich i
25、mage, 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 poetry to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to
26、 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 metaphor concerning love and the rose to see what it offers. Because the poet uses a comparison with a rose, first
27、 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.

29、 the metaphor tells us.
