Dear Peter

How about your study? It's Sunday today. I'm writing a letter to you. I'm going to tell you something in Beijing.

Beijing is different from London. In our country, we drive on the left side of the road, but here people drive on the right side. Most people go to work by bus or by bike. The rush hours are from seven to nine in the morning and five to seven in the afternoon. People in China work around eight hours a day, five days a week. They usually begin to work at eight in the morning, and rest on Saturday and Sunday.

I have Chinese classes every morning from Monday to Friday. The students in our class are from many countries. We're all working hard and friendly to each other. The Chinese students are ready to help us with our Chinese. We also help them a lot with their English. We are getting along very well.

That's all for today. Please write to me soon.

Yours

Susan

Dear Sales Manager,

I am writing to complain about what one of your saleswomen has done. Last Sunday, I went to your store to look for a T-shirt. When I asked a saleswoman, Ms Wang, for help in finding my size, she told me that she was busy and said impolitely that if I couldn't find one, it meant the store didn't have it. I couldn't stand it. Would you mind answering my questions?

What is a saleswoman's job?

What quality- should a saleswoman have?

What do you think of Ms Wang's behaviour?

Do you care about a customer's feeling? Why or why not?

I felt Ms Wang was rude. I hope you deal with it seriously. I look forward to hearing from you soon and a more pleasant shopping experience at your store next time.

Best wishes

Cathy

Dear Sunday Globe，

I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday’s newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette(礼仪)．

The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don’t shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive(灵敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.

Another point is about personal space. I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What’s worse, it stops many face­to­face conversations from ever beginning.

Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.

Yours truly，

Amber Jala

1.Amber Jala wrote the letter to ________．

A. find a good job

B. provide advice

C. make her life easier

D. buy a smartphone

2.What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. 致函　　 B. 称呼

C. 陈述　　 D. 选址

3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. It is dangerous to drive on the road.

B. It is easy to start a company with others.

C. It is bad to turn off our phones while driving.

D. It is important to use our smartphones properly.

My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I'm going to talk to you, about my understanding of learning history.

Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history. You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives. If you think that way, I should say you are far from the truth.

In fact, if we study history, we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events (事件)of people just like us. The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in. Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles. Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors'(祖先)lives were like. And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life.

To be honest, 　 ▲　　 . Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past. And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things. People often learn from the past to have a better future.

Whether we like the subject of history or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us. Our ancestors' decisions have influenced our own life. Similarly, the decisions of our own generation(一代人）will finally influence those who come after us. In this only way, the world is truly connected.

History is not just a study of the past. History is the study of people, places, and events that can influence the future.

Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing? Or do you have any doubt about learning history? If you have any question, just feel free to ask.

1.What kind of writing is the passage above?

A.A diary. B.A story. C.A speech. D.A letter.

2.Which of the following can be put in the 　　 ▲　　 in Paragraph 4?

A.the mistakes of the past won't help us.

B.I don't like the idea of learning history

C.it is not easy to learn the subject of history

D.not everything that happened in the past is good

3.According to Paragraph 5, the decisions of our generation will ______________.

A.show what is happening to us B.build and develop our country

C.influence the people in the future D.help understand the people in the past

4.The writer wrote the passage to ___________________.

A.introduce some important people in history

B.develop students' interest in learning history

C.explain different people's understanding of history

D.show the relationship between the past and the future

Dear Patti,

How are you getting on with your study recently? I’m writing to you for some advice on my studies. As you know, football is a very popular sport in the world and I am very interested in it.　 I have spent lots of time doing many things related to it, like watching football matches, reading newspapers and magazines, and searching the Web for more information about football. As a result, it has certainly disturbed （妨碍） my study. I know football is just my hobby and my main task is to learn more knowledge in school so that I will be admitted into a key university in the future, but I can’t focus all my attention on my lessons. Gradually I am even more tired of them. I am still a middle school student, and I won’t choose a job in the field of football when I grow up. But now I can’t stop myself from loving football. So I feel very depressed （沮丧的） and want to know how to keep a balance between my studies and hobby. Could you give me some advice on it? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours,

Li Ming

Dear Amy,

I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I’m sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering (康复). I’m surprised that in China someone’s liver (肝脏) matched yours! This is really a moving story—a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he doesn’t even know!

You’re right. We shouldn’t care too much about our weight. I’m happy you stopped taking those losing-weight pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep slim is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor’s advice is indeed very good—exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.

It’s not only in your country. It’s the same here with us Chinese—many people are always going on diets or taking losing-weight pills, which are often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.

Love,

Helen
