Dear Mayor,

I'm a resident of the city. I feel there are many problems existed in the trade of taxis in our city. First of all, there aren't enough stops in the streets. And taxis often run very fast, which caused many traffic accidents. Additional, some taxi drivers refuse to pick some passengers without any reason. Another terrible thing is that deeply at night taxis waiting around entertainment places make too much noise. A friend of mine living in another city once visited to me, and she told me a taxi driver once cheated her by taking a roundabout route. How will a guest think of our city after such bad experience? I think we must take actions to tighten control over the taxi trade. The last thing to do is raise the taxi drivers' professional morality.

Sincerely yours

Chris

Dear Mr. Barton,

I am writing for the residents’ association (业主协会) to inform you of our feelings about your act. We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂).

Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act.

We strongly demand that you pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.

Yours sincerely

1.What does the writer feel?

2.What does the word “deteriorated” mean?

3.What is the main purpose of the letter?

4.Why were the police called?

5.What is true according to the letter?

There are many places around the city and online to buy Las Vegas show tickets. With dozens of websites you can find at home, ticket box offices, Tix 4 Tonight (one of the two half-price ticket sellers) locations, and ticket sellers along the Las Vegas trip, you might wonder where you could find your best deal.

Major Shows

If you want to see one of the top shows in Las Vegas, you could buy your tickets online before your trip. Many of these shows sell out months ahead of time, so make sure you do your research.

Best Place to Buy Discounted (打折的) Tickets

If you want discounted tickets for Las Vegas shows, you should go to one of the four Tix 4 Tonight locations. These locations get tickets early in the morning or throughout the day if shows are not sold out. Do not expect to find discounted tickets here for the hottest shows in town such as one-night concerts or shows like Celine Dion’s. These seldom make their way to Tix 4 Tonight.

Coupon books (代金劵)

As you walk along the Las Vegas Strip, you are going to come across people handing out the Vegas Values coupon books or other coupons. These may help you find discounted coupons for various shows around town. Tickets bought with coupons have to be bought at the box office for the show. These are usually located near the theater used for the show.

On-Strip Sellers

If you see people standing on the Strip selling show tickets, make sure you avoid them. While a few of these sellers might be legitimate (合法的)，they often cheat people by selling counterfeit (伪造的) tickets.

Catching a show in Las Vegas is one of the various activities people take part in every single day. While there is not one set place to be the best to buy tickets, make sure you get to see the show you want.

1.If you want to see Celine Dion’s performance, you should buy the tickets __ _____.

A．from the tickets sellers along the Strip

While there are still many people who don’t feel comfortable using a credit card to buy over the Internet, e-commerce is absolutely here to stay. If you take a few precautions, buying over the Internet can actually be safer than using your credit card in a restaurant.

Just as you should notice your surroundings and suspicious-looking people when withdrawing (提取) money from an ATM, you should know how to recognize the warning signs of Internet tricks and take steps to avoid being a victim (受害者) when shopping online. Here are some good tips to remember when shopping online:

Before submitting your personal information to a site, try to find out how the information may be used and whether it will be sold to or shared with other businesses. If you don’t like what you read, shop somewhere else.

Don’t provide personal information such as address, telephone number, social security number, or e-mail address unless you know who you are providing the information for, why it’s being requested, and how it will be used.

Use a credit card, not a debit card (借记卡) for shopping on the Internet. Debit cards don’t have the same protection as credit cards.

Carefully review your credit card and bank statement each month for unknown charges and inform your credit card company or bank immediately if you notice any charges you didn’t know about.

Clean your computer with free online software that detects spy-ware and install (安装) a firewall to ensure the sites you shop on don’t install spy-ware (间谍软件) on your computer.

Rivers are one of our most important natural resources. Many of the world’s great cities are located on rivers, and almost every country has at least one river flowing through it that plays an important part in the lives of its people.

Since the beginning of history, people have used rivers for transportation. The longest one in the United States is the Mississippi. The lifeline of Egypt is the Nile. To the people of India , the Ganges is great, but it is also important for transportation; ships can travel along it for a thousand miles. Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeast Asia, The greatest of all for navigation(航海), however, is the Amazon in Brail, It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it.

Besides transportation, rivers give food, water to drink, water for crops, and chances for fun and recreation for the people who live along their banks. In order to increase the supply of water for crops, engineers sometimes build a dam across a river and let a lake form behind the dam. Then people can use the water not only to irrigate their fields but also to make electricity for their homes and industries.

However, large cities and industries that are located upon rivers often make problems. As the cities grow in size and industries increase in number, the water in the rivers becomes polluted with chemicals and other materials. People are learning the importance, however, of doing more to keep their rivers clean if they want to enjoy the benefits of this natural resource.

1.The greatest river for navigation is 　　　　 .

A．the Amazon　　　　 B．the Nile

C．the Mekong　　　　 D．the Mississippi

2.Which is wrong according to the passage?
