TV Shows and Long Bus Trips

Long bus rides are like televisions shows.They have a beginning,a middle,and an end一with commercials
thrown in every three or four minutes.The commercials are unavoidable.They happen whether you want
them or not.Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window."Buy Super Clean
Toothpaste.""Drink Good'n'Wet Root Beer.""Fill up with Pacific Gas."Only if you sleep,which is
equal to turning the television set off,are you spared the unending cry of"You Need It!Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if you've traveled that way
before.Usually some things have changed一new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road.The
bus driver has a style of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so.If the driver is particu-
larly reckless or daring,the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story.Will the driver pass the truck in
time?Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand?After a while,of course.the excitement dies
down.Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride.Food always makes bus rides more
interesting.But you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat.Too much salty food can make you
very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning.You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of
expectation and excitement in that.The seat,of course,has become harder as the hours have passed.By
now you've sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the arm rests一even
with your hands crossed behind your head.The end comes just at the right time.There are just no more
ways to sit.

More Than a Ride to School

The National Education Association claims,"The school bus is a mirror of the
community." They further add that, unfortunately, what appears on the exterior（外部）
does not always reflect the reality of a chosen community.They are right,and sometimes it
reflects more!Just ask Liesl Denson.Riding the school bus has been more than a ride to
school for Liesl.
Bruce Hardy,school bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl's bus driver
since kindergarten.Last year when Liesl's family moved to Parkesburg,knowing her bus
went by her new residence,she requested to ride the same bus.
This year Liesi is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus.She says,"It's
been a great ride so far!My bus driver is so cool and has always been a good friend and a
good listener.Sometimes when you're a child adults do not think that what you have to say
is important.Mr.Hardy always listens to what you have to say and makes you feel
important."Her friends Ashley Batista and Amanda Wolfe agree.
Bruce Hardy has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975.This year he
will celebrate 30 years working for Althouse Bus Transportation.Company President,Larry
Althouse acknowledges Bruce Hardy's outstanding record."You do not come by employees
like Bruce these days;he has never missed a day of work and has a perfect driving record.
Recognized in 2000 by the Pennsylvania School Bus Association for driving 350,000
accident free miles,Hardy's reputation is made further evident through the relationships he
has made with the students that ride his bus."
Althouse further added, "Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70 years ago
and has been providing quality transportation ever since.My grandfather started the
business with one bus.Althouse Bus Transportation is delighted to have the opportunity to
bring distinctive and safe service to our local school and community and looks forward to
continuing to provide quality service for many more years to come."
Three generations of business is not all the company has enjoyed.Thanks to drivers
like Bruce Hardy,they have been building relationships through generations.Liesi's mother
Carol also enjoys fond memories of riding Bruce Hardy's bus to the Octorara School District.

How long has Bruce Hardy been working for Althouse Bus Transportation?
A:For 30 years.
B:For 70 years.
C:Since last year.
D:Since 2000.

Long Bus Ride
Long bus rides are like television shows.They have a beginning,a middle,and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes.

Long bus rides are like television shows.They have a beginning,a middle,and an end-with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable.They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window."Buy Super Clean Toothpaste.""Drink Good'n Wet Root Beer.""Fill up with Pa-cific Gas."Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television set off,are you spared the unending cry of"You Need It!Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if you've traveled that way before .Usually some things have changed-new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring,the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time?Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane? After a while,of course,the excitement dies down.Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride .Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you've got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat,of course,has become harder as the hours have passed.By now you've sat with your legs crossed,with your hands crossed behind your head.
The end comes just at the right time.There are just no more ways to sit.

What is the purpose of this passage?
A: To give the writer's opinion about long bus trips.
