My name is Sam. I’m 14 years old and I live in London, England. I’m very fit, I’m good at all kinds of sports, and I’m generally in good health. However, there is something really strange that happens to me. Every time something interesting is going to happen, I get sick.

Here’s an example. Two years ago, the school organized a trip to Versailles in France. Versailles is a lovely place near Paris, the capital of France. The plan was to take a train from London to Paris, and then travel to Versailles by bus. I was really excited about this trip, especially the ride on the train, because the train goes through a tunnel under the English Channel, the water between England and France.

What happened? I woke up the day before the trip with a terrible fever. I had flu. So I couldn’t go on the trip!

Last year, something similar happened. I play for the school soccer team—I’m one of the best players—and the school organized a visit to Scotland for the soccer team. The plan was to play three matches against schools in Edinburgh and Glasgow, the two biggest cities in Scotland. I was really looking forward to that trip!

And what happened? I injured my knee when I played football the day before we left. Again I couldn’t go there.

I’m also in the school choir. This year, the school is organizing a visit to Austria so that we can take part in a choir competition there. We will leave next Thursday. I hope this is third time lucky, and I can go. I expect that I won’t wake up with a sore throat the day before we leave.

根据短文内容，判断句子的正误，正确的写T，错误的写F。

1.Sam is generally in good health, but every time something interesting is going to happen, he’ll get sick

2.The trip to Versailles in France is far, so their school planed to go there by train.

3.Sam is the best player in their school soccer team.

4.He had a very good time in Austria.

5.Sam is a boy from England.

Hi! My name is Mark. I live in a town in the west of Shanghai. Over the past twenty years, great changes have taken place here.

In the past, my hometown was only a small village. There were no tall buildings. But now more and more tall buildings appear and the roads get broader. My father used to work in a small post office. We contacted each other mainly by sending letters. Now we can get in touch by using telephones, mobile phone, the Internet and so on. The world becomes smaller and smaller.

We can find our life more comfortable. We live in big flats. We can enjoy milk, vegetables, fruit and meat for meals. We can also enjoy wonderful films, and listen to music with MP5. In the past, we couldn’t enjoy life like this.

On the other hand, pollution has become a serious problem in our daily life. In the past, there were not many factories. So the water was clean and the air was fresh. However, the water and the air aren’t clean any more, because too many factories have polluted them. The government has taken action to reduce the pollution. Now things have been better.

I am sure my hometown will be more and more beautiful.
