Public Transport Guide
Here you’ll find the information you need to prepare your child for travelling on TransLink’s public
transport network in South East Queensland.
Plan
There are four types of public transport on the TransLink network: bus, train, ferry, tram.
We have three planning tools to help you find the most suitable public transport mode and school
route for your child:
School service finder — to find school routes within 1 km of your child’s school
Journey planner — for a more customized search
QConnect journey planner — for urban bus services outside the TransLink service area
Tips:
Download the MyTransLink app on your mobile first.
When using planning tools, make sure you select a date that Ms on a school day and choose between
“Depart” or “Arrive before” to tailor your search.
Tickets
The most common concession (减价票) is the child and student Go cards.
All primary and secondary school students can have a Go card.
Concession fares are 50 percent of adult fares.
A further 50 percent is deducted (减免) after the 8th paid journey within a week.
You can save over $650 a year when your child uses a Go card every school day.
Notes:
School students over the age of 15 must hold a valid student ID to buy a student Go card.
Auto top-up
To ensure enough travel credit is on your child’s Go card, the easiest way is to set up auto top-up.
Auto top-up has the following characteristics:
-contactless card transactions (交易)
-no need for your child to carry travel money
-It only takes 5 minutes to set up on the Go card website.
-You have the option to receive top-up text messages.
-Credit can be accessed and transferred to a new card if the old one is lost or stolen.

At our six-year-old’s soccer practice this past weekend, I looked around and found our eight-year-old
making a big dirt hill at the bottom of a sliding board, so he could drive his cars up the slide and
watch them roll down into his pile.
I saw him holding dirt with his hands and moving it over to his hill. I saw the dirt falling on his
trousers and his shoes on the way to the slide. I watched as he climbed the ladder, only to slide down
the slide and fall into that pile of dirt.
Instead of telling him to stop and watch his brother, we both just laughed because we knew that
playing is learning. As Albert Einstein once said, “Play is the highest form of research.”
We watched him play and enjoyed the feet that he was learning while he made a cool masterpiece
over there. Clothes can be washed, hands can be cleaned, and shoes can be scrubbed (刷洗). We
remember we are raising kids who know how to play and create, not kids that are afraid to get their
hands dirty.
We decided a long time ago, when our first son was young, that we weren’t going to let exhaustion
or convenience get the best of us. It is easier to tell our kids not to get messy than to have to soak (浸
泡) those clothes for the night. Also, it is more convenient to bring an iPad and have them sit beside
us quietly. But we don’t want those for our kids.
When a human sits for longer than about 20 minutes, the physiology (生理机能) of the brain and
body changes. The brain basically just falls asleep when we sit for too long. Moving and being
active stimulate the neurons (神经元) that fire in the brain.
Looking back on our childhoods, we appreciate the effect playground experiences had on who we
ultimately became. These crucial, formative experiences shape children into thinkers, dreamers, and
leaders.
4. How did the author respond to her son’s playing with dirt?
A. She felt helpless.
B. She appreciated it.
C. She was amused as well as annoyed.
D. She disturbed him but found it understandable.
5. What’s the principle of the author’s raising her children?
A. Setting an example to them.
B. Staying with them as much as possible.
C. Developing their ability to take care of themselves.
D. Encouraging them to learn through actively playing.
6. What can we infer about the author?
A. She has received little education.
B. She values her childhood playing experiences.
C. She often falls asleep when watching her kids play.
D. She was conducting a study on neurons when writing the text.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Parents are kids’ first teachers
B. Play is the highest form of research
C. Sitting for too long is bad for your health
D. Cooperation plays a key role in kids’ growth
C
Seven years ago, I built a program to write an article on the play Chitra. First it selected infonnation
about Chitra from the Internet. Then it looked at existing entries to learn the structure for a standard
article. Finally, it summarized the information from the Internet to write and publish the first version
of the entry. The program didn’t “know” anything about Chitra. It simply pieced together parts of
existing sentences from existing articles to make new ones.
Fast forward to 2020. OpenAI, a for-profit company, built a language generation program called
Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3). Its ability to learn, summarize and compose text has
staggered computer scientists like me. The language generated by GPT-3 sounds as if it had been
written by a human.
The knowledge displayed by GPT-3’s language model is remarkable, especially since it hasn’t been
“taught” by a human. The traditional machine learning is supervised (监督的) learning where people
provide the computer with annotated ( 有 注 解 的 ) examples of objects. It’s time-consuming and
expensive. GPT-3 takes natural language processing closer toward imsupcrvised learning. GPT-3’s
vast training datasets and huge processing capacity enable the system to learn from just one example
where it is given a task description and one demonstration and can then complete the task. With
zero-shot learning, the accuracy decreases, but GPT-3’s abilities are nonetheless accurate to a
striking degree.
In early September, a computer scientist named Liam Porr used GPT-3 to “write an article”. GPT-3
produced eight different essays as instructed, and The Guardian ended up publishing an article using
some of the best parts from each essay. Editing GPT-3’s article, the editors noted, was no different
from editing an article written by a human.
Despite GPT-3’s reassurances, OpenAI has yet to release the model for open-source use, because the
company worries that the technology could be deliberately used in a way that is wrong. It’s not
difficult to see how it could be used to generate lots of disinformation. The technology will become
only more powerful. It’ll be up to humans to work out and regulate its potential uses and abuses,
8. What could be described about the author’s writing program?
A. It started with the understanding of Chitra’s background.
B. It didn’t follow the structure of the standard article.
C. It’s just a way of putting together information.
D. It tried to make innovations about the play.
9. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Surprised. B. Disappointed.
C. Confused, D. Approved.
10. Why are Liam Porr and The Guardian mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To confirm GPT-3’s popularity.
B. To show GPT-3’s practicability.
C. To explain GPT-3’s range of application.
D. To prove the need of improvement for GPT-3.
11. What makes GPT-3 unavailable on the market?
A. The fear of its potential abuses.
B. The wish to make it more powerful.
C. The waiting for the best market timing.
D. The disinformation it generated during experiments.
D
The “Dust Bowl” of the 1930s saw high winds and choking dust move their way across the Great
Plains of the US. The disaster was a result of both man-made and natural causes. As farmers sought
to grow their way out of the economic hardship of the Great Depression, they used newly
mechanised equipment to turn soil-stabilising grasses to crops.
A similar pattern has been developing today. Writing in Geophysical Research Letters, a group of
climatologists from the University of Utah has shown that since 2000, dust cover in the Great Plains
has been increasing by five percent per year. A chief contributor to this rise is the 2005 Cora Ethanol
Mandate which turned native grasslands in the Great Plains into fields of com — a raw material of
biofuels. It helped make up the nation's declining gas reserves with renewable biofuels.
Anna Gannet-Haller, the study’s lead author, says that farmers are actively encouraged to use
marginal (边际的) lands. “Across the US, farmers buy crop insurance subsidized (补贴) by the
federal government, which promises them that they won’t lose money by forming more land,” she
says. “As a result, insurance policies have a hand in thickening the dust cover. It’s not that farmers
aren’t deserving the government’s help. There are just better ways to promote farming without
encouraging expansion into marginal lands.”
One approach is to preserve soil quality. The federal government began to educate farmers on soil
conservation techniques and encouraged them to adopt planting and plowing (耕地) methods that
conserved the soil. Since farmers hesitated to apply new methods to their land for it may result in
lower incomes, the government paid farmers a dollar an acre which seems to be a drop in the bucket
for farmers. It also planted the Great Plains Shelterbelt, a huge belt of more than 200 million trees.
The biofuel boom saw power plants emerge across the “grain belt” of the Great Plains, creating new
labour opportunities for rural economies. The Renewable Fuels Association estimates that 49,937
jobs were created by Iowa’s biofuel industry alone. However, without intervention, the dust is only
likely to worsen. The Great Plains are once again in severe drought.
12. What’s the purpose of the 2005 Com Ethanol Mandate?
A. Making better use of the nation’s gas reserves.
B. Increasing farmers’ economic opportunities.
C. Solving the problem of energy reduction.
D. Helping prevent dust storms.
13. What’s Anna’s attitude towards the insurance policies?
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Unknown.
14. Why did the government pay farmers a dollar an acre?
A. To subsidize their losses due to natural disasters.
B. To help them learn advanced techniques.
C. To encourage them to use new methods.
D. To award them for planting trees.
15. What can we learn from the text?
A. Ecology and development should go hand in hand.
B. The government should put farmers’ interests first.
C. Renewable biofuels have a promising future.
D. Crops are the foundation of our existence.

项。
When most people refer to “traveling”, they think of a vacation full of positives.
16 Here are some not-so-positive feelings and solutions.
Anxious
I get nervous before going on trips. I never sleep well the night before a flight. 17 There have been
plenty of times that I’ve considered canceling a trip the night before I’m supposed to leave.
Solutions: Remind yourself that you’ve planned and done your homework and that you’ll be
absolutely fine once you get there. Never have I regretted going through with a trip.
Lonely
18 For me, the loneliness usually hits at night when I’m stressing out over finding a place to eat on
my own, Or realizing it’s only 6 p.m. and that I have no plans for the evening.
Solutions: If it’s during the day, you can join a free walking tour or a day trip. Other times you can
just go somewhere where there are lots of people.
Bored
Not every day is going to be exciting when you travel. You will have slow travel days and bad
weather days. But that’s fine! Not every destination is going to live up to your expectations.
Solutions: Force yourself to go out and try something new! 19 That almost always helps you see a
destination from a different perspective (角度).
Even though we often view travel as something different than “real life”, the reality is that traveling
is still real life, and ifs therefore not surprising to feel both positive and negative things. So if you
experience any of these feelings on your next trip, don’t panic. 20
A. I’d be lying if I say I never feel lonely.
B. Feeling lonely makes life quite fun.
C. And my nerves usually follow me to the airport.
D. It’s completely normal and okay to feel these things!
E. It’s necessary to master all the points mentioned above.
F. However, not every second of every trip is going to be all rainbows.
G. I guarantee there’s something cool about the place that you can discover.

I remember the first time I was taken out to pick grapes and what a profound impact it made on my
life at such a young age. It was a sunny day in early autumn. I went to pick grapes together with my
grandfather. On the way to my grandfather’s grape garden in the early morning hours, I was excited
about the work. As we approached our destination, I could smell the fragrance of grapes.
When reaching the grape garden, I was struck by the scene before us. I took my place at the foot of a
long row of grapes; the walls of green seemed never-ending. They towered over me and stretched for
what seemed, like miles and miles. There the dusty land was covered with tens of thousands of grape
trees that were hung with hundreds of beautiful grape dusters (葡萄串), which gave off attractive
smell. My grandfather had worked on the piece of land for many years. As a kid then, I couldn’t
imagine how much sweat he had gone through and how exhausted he must have been. But to support
my education, he didn’t give up the demanding work.
Standing beside the attractive grape clusters, I couldn’t help picking some to taste. They were really
delicious. My grandfather smiled at me, saying it was a good harvest. Soon, we set out to pick the
grapes. It was my first time to do the work. My grandfather was afraid that I didn’t know how to
pick the grapes properly, so he asked me to observe how he did it.
He pulled a grape duster away from the vine (葡萄藤) with the left hand and skillfully used the
pruning shears (修枝剪刀) to cut off the stem (柄) that linked the grape cluster to the vine. And then,
he bowed to put the grape cluster into a harvest bucket. I found it was not difficult, so immediately I
prepared to harvest the grapes as my grandfather did. He handed me a bucket and a pair of pruning
shears and asked me to be careful not to break the grapes since their skins were fragile.
Paragraph 1:
I nodded my head and started to do the job.

What was worse, hours later, the morning coolness was slowly giving way to extreme heat.

(一)
As climate change promotes forest tree growth, it also shortens trees’ lives. That results in the
quicker release of climate-warming carbon back into the atmosphere.
1 A major one: removing carbon dioxide, or CO2, from the air arid storing it. That makes trees an
important part of the fight against climate change.
As an effective greenhouse gas, CO2 traps the sun’s heat and holds it close to Earths surface. Trees
pull carbon dioxide from the air and use it to build leaves, wood, etc. 2 So trees contribute a lot to
decreasing climate change.
Recent studies have found that trees around the world are growing faster than ever. Rising
atmospheric CO2 is probably the driving force behind it. 3 The faster trees grow, the faster they store
carbon.
But when forest trees grow faster, they die sooner. And trees only hold onto carbon as long as they’re
alive. Once they die, trees release that C02 back into the atmosphere. This movement of carbon-
between forest and the atmosphere is called a carbon flux (流动). 4
In fact, having more CO2 and living at warmer sites may explain why city, trees grow faster than
rural trees. 5 Besides, they also live shorter lives than their slow-growing relatives.
A. Fast growth can be good news.
B. Trees provide people with benefits.
C. It’s disappointing news for global warming.
D. But they don’t live as long as their country cousins.
E. This effectively removes CO2 from the atmosphere.
F. This phenomenon doesn’t apply to all types of trees.
G. It’s a natural process that happens as trees grow and eventually die.
(二)
How to change your mind to achieve success
One thing that keeps you moving forward is the belief that your greatest days are still ahead of you.
1 Here are some ways to grow your prosperity (繁荣) mindset and help you achieve success one day.
Check your mind.
Do you tell yourself things like “I have no luck at all” or “I’m always a day late”? 2 And they come
from the type of vision you have. Replace the critical ones with things such as “I certainly deserve
the best”.
Dream out loud.
Instead of getting hung up on what’s “realistic”, people with a prosperity mindset dream about what
they really want in life. However, it takes persistence to succeed. 3 And put it where you will see it
every day.
4
Successful people don’t listen to naysayers (否定者), but first imagine a better life and then work to
make it. The key is to believe and remember that anything is possible.
Anyone can be successful. But many people don't think so. They have all sorts of excuses why
others have been successful and why they have not. Some of these successful people may have less
education than them and start with less money and support. 5
A. Remember to work hard.
B. Reject outside influences.
C. Your life is the harvest of your thoughts.
D. But they, have one thing: a prosperity mindset.
E. The secret of success is to expand your vision.
F. One way to maintain this focus is to make a plan.
G. It’s pretty hard to focus on your future if you don’t have it.

Accordingly, the lecture with the theme of Interpersonal Skills is scheduled, during which some
professors will be invited to make speeches to share some skills in communicating with people from
different cultures. Furthermore, it ’ s suggested that participants be seated in the school hall ten
minutes before the lecture starts.
I do hope you can attend the lecture. I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,

Paragraph 1:
I nodded my head and started to do the job. At first, I pulled a grape cluster away from the vine as
my grandfather did. But unexpectedly, when I cut off the stem, I broke some grapes due to too much
force. So when picking the next grape cluster, I gently held up the bottom of the grape cluster and
carefully cut off its stem. And then I bowed my body to gently put the grapes into the bucket. Then I
stood up and picked the grapes again. But after repeating the actions for a while, my arms and waist
started to become painful.
Paragraph 2:
What was worse, hours later, the morning coolness was slowly giving way to extreme heat. It
started to defeat my spirit. As I harvested the grapes, dust gradually changed the color of my skin.
Sweat flowed down my face. When I was thinking of giving up, I found my grandfather was looking
at me. “Boy, go home. It was hot,” he said and wiped
the sweat away from his old dusty face. Seeing that, I felt a little heavy-hearted and immediately I
said aloud,“No, grandpa, I’m alright. I’ll continue.”Hearing these words, my grandfather smiled.
