Dear Mr. Smith,

I currently rent (租) APT #832 in the Canyon Crossing apartments. Overall, I am happy with the location. At the beginning I had planned to live here for at least two years. I like here.

However, I am very disappointed in that there seems to be a terrible roach (蟑螂) problem. I can’t invite any guest over because of this problem and I cannot recommend (推荐) Canyon Crossing to any of my classmates either.

I have left two voice mails for you which are concerned with this problem. You have not returned either one. Therefore, this letter is my next step in hoping to solve the problem. I am kindly asking you to ask an exterminator (灭蟑人) by July 15th. If you fail to do so, I will have no choice but to make a complaint to the BBB (Better Business Bureau).

You are welcome to text me anytime at (435) 234-3452. I hope this problem will be solved soon.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Unhappy Ursula

Dear Sir,

I am a new resident (居民) at Sunning Court. I have seen the condition of the building becoming worse and worse since I moved here last year.

First of all, the management of the building is really terrible. Sometimes, there is a bad smell when I walk on the road. I see much rubbish there. No cleaners clean the rubbish. Many roaches and rats run around the building.

My second problem is about the security (安全). I always see the guards reading newspapers or smoking when they are on duty. The security room is very dusty too. When I want to use the phone, they say, “We can’t help.”

I am therefore writing to demand your company’s action to improve the situation. Thank you for your consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Chris Wong

Mr and Mrs Smith had always spent their summer holidays in New Jersey in the past, staying in a small inn(旅店) at the foot of a hill. One year, however, Mr. Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.

They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They were therefore surprised when the man who received them in the hall asked whether they would take dinner there that night.

“Are you still serving dinner?” asked Mr Smith.

“Yes, certainly, sir,” answered the man. “We serve it until half past nine.”

“What are the times of meals then?” asked Mr Smith.

“Well, sir,” answered the man, “We serve breakfast from seven to half past eleven in the morning, lunch from twelve to three in the afternoon, tea from four to five, and dinner from six to half past nine.”

“But that hardly leaves any time for us to see the sights of London!” said Mrs Smith.

Dear Mr. Shyamalan,

According to the box office, congratulations are in order. It seems your new movie, Split, is doing gangbusters. That means millions of people all over the world have seen or will soon see your story about a man who is suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

As much as I'm rooting for you as an artist, Mr. Shyamalan, personally, I think you climbed to success on the overburdened backs of the mentally ill.

As a person who suffers from multiple(多面的)personalities, as well as a psychologist with professional knowledge and skills in the subject, I feel it is my duty to school you in a few facts: People who suffer from DID are not, generally speaking, scary or cheating. We are normal people who silently suffer from a painful condition in which our sense of who we are feels divided into broken parts. Our condition is often caused by a history of severe and repeated child abuse(虐待). In truth, we are victims(受害者) of unimaginable violence.

With the release of your movie, you have become my bully(恃强凌弱者). I am personally harmed by the absurd fixed image you use in Split. Your description of Kevin Crumb as one gender confused, cross-dressing multiple with a strong liking for violence has the same effect as shouting across the playground, “People with DID are dangerous nut jobs!”

I have lived for years with the shame created by movies such as yours. Despite being a successful doctor who runs a charity for adult survivors of child abuse, I live with constant anxiety that people will learn of my diagnosis(诊断). For no matter how long I’ve known someone or how highly they think of me, once they know I'm a multiple, the reaction is imaginable.

In the future, I’d appreciate it if you stopped using our pain and suffering as materials for your entertainment.

Michelle Stevens

1.What does the author think of Shyamalan’s success?

A. He was very fortunate．　　 B. He deserved it.

C. His efforts were worthwhile．　　 D. He got it in an immoral way．

2.What’s the probable cause of DID?

A. Poor living conditions.　　 B. Extreme anxiety from life.

C. Tense relations among people.　　 D. Being badly treated in childhood.

3.Who is Kevin Crumb according to the text?

A. A friend of Mr. Shyamalan’s.

B. A character in Split.

C. A patient of Michelle Stevens’s.

D. A psychologist with multiple personalities.

4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To give the movie Split a review.

B. To show respect for people with DID.

C. To state that the movie Split hurt people with DID.

D. To argue that people with DID can make a difference.
