HASTA LOS HUEVOS DE MARIAH CAREY - Navidad en ¡Qué Pasa!

        为了看日出，我常常早起。那时天还没有大亮，周围很静，只听见船里机器的声音。
        天空还是一片浅蓝，很浅很浅的。转眼间，天水相接的地方出现了一道红霞。红霞的范围慢慢扩
大，越来越亮。我知道太阳就要从天边升起来了，便目不转睛地望着那里。
        果然，过了一会儿，那里出现了太阳的小半边脸，红是红得很，却没有亮光。太阳像负着什么重担
似的，慢慢地，一纵一纵地，使劲儿向上升。到了最后，它终干冲破了云需，完全跳出了海面，颜色真
红得可爱。一刹那间，这深红的圆东西发出夺目的亮光，射得人眼睛发痛。它旁边的云也突然有了光
彩。

         有时候太阳躲进云里。阳光透过云缝直射到水面上，很难分辨出哪里是水，哪里是天，只看见一片
灿烂的亮光。
        有时候天边有黑云，云还很厚。太阳升起来，人看不见它。它的光芒给黑云镶了一道光亮的金边。
后来，太阳慢慢透出重围，出现在天空，把一片片云染成了紫色或者红色。这时候，不仅是太阳、云和
海水，连我自己也成了光亮的了。
        这不是伟大的奇观么?

Choice-type Question

Transport company Uber has announced a new service that could make it cheaper for people in the US to travel to and from the airport and other popular places.

It's called Uber Shuttle — and it's really just a bus service offered by the company.

"Whether you're a traveler, sports fan, or concertgoer, get ready because Uber Shuttle is arriving soon," said Uber's Anthony le Roux when the news was announced in the middle of May.

Uber users will be able to book up to five seats on a shuttle service to big events and airports from a central place.

It might be useful if you're at a big, out-of-town concert and there aren't enough regular Ubers or taxis, for example.

Uber's shuttles will have between 14 and 55 seats, and people will be able to book up to a week before they travel.

The company says the cost of the shuttle will be "a fraction" of the price of a regular Uber.

In one example Uber gave during the announcement, the price of the shuttle was about one-third of the price of a regular Uber.

The shuttle, which has previously been tested in India, will be available in some US cities this summer to help people travel to and from events.

As for airports, Uber has not yet said which ones the shuttle will be available at.

When it is available, users will see the shuttle as an option in their apps, and they'll be able to rate and tip shuttle drivers just like regular Uber car drivers.
