Dear Sarah in 2018,

This is a letter from the year 2068. I want to talk about life in 2068.

Life seems to go easy in 2068. Robots do most things for people, such as working, cooking and cleaning. Toys teach and play with children. Parents spend most of their time dreaming.

However, that's not everything I he weather changes very fast. Sometimes, when you go outside on the street, it is raining hard, and then it stops the next minute. People easily get diseases(疾病)in 2068. We can' t breathe(呼吸) fresh air on the street because of air pollution(污染). Forests die because the water gets polluted. Animals die because they lose their home,

food and water. Everyone has to pay to see real plants and animals in museums.

How does the world become like this? Well, technologies(F+#) came too fast in the past 50 years. Some were bad for the earth and people. This is really a good lesson for people in your time. What are we going to do with the money and technologies if we don,t have our home? Please slow down and take time to think about technologies.

Yours truly,

Sarah in 2068

It was Mary’s birthday. She got a present from her uncle: “Dear Mary”, he wrote in the letter, “Happy birthday. I’m sending you some chickens. I hope you like them. Uncle Toby”.

Mary was very pleased. She liked eating eggs and chicken. “I can keep the chickens for their eggs or eat them,” she thought.

When the chickens arrived the next day, they were all in a box. Mary was very happy. She took the box off the truck and began to carry it into her garden, but the box of chickens was so heavy that she dropped it.

The box fell on the ground and it was open. The chickens all ran out. They ran here and there. Mary spent hours in trying to find them.

A few days later her uncle came. He asked. “Did the chickens arrive safely?”

“Yes, but I dropped the box. It broke open and the chickens ran everywhere. It took me the whole morning to look for them.” Mary said.

“Did you find them all?” asked her uncle. “I hope so,” Mary answered. “But I only caught eleven of them.” “That’s very interesting. I only sent you six.” her uncle said with a smile.

My little brother is six years old, in first grade. Yesterday, he gave mum a letter from his teacher. "I got a red card today. Could you please sign(签名) this note（便笺）?" he said to Mom. The note showed that he slept during reading time. He gets a "red card" only once in a while. His real worry is that he doesn’t get top scores（分数） in his school work. His best score is "OK". He often gets "You can do better than this". My mom tells me "You can do better than this" means "Very bad" in China.

In America, teachers are very nice to their students. They never say anything too bad about them even if（即使） the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are pleased with a B-grade for each subject. I’ve learned that things are different in Chinese schools. Expectations （期待）are very high for students. Even from first grade, they have a lot of homework. My first-grade Chinese cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was in Grade 6 in US. Yet his parents and school thought he was a bad student. But to me, he was good, even though he didn’t meet his parents" expectations. My parents tell me that some students are years before American students in math and science. And Chinese students are the most hard-working in the world. Do you think it’s too strict? Or do you think that it’s not strict enough in America? Maybe both are true!

1.A student in American will get ____ if he makes trouble during class.

A. a present　　 B. a red card　　 C. a top score　　 D. a gift

2.When students get “OK” in American, it means their scores are______ in their schools.

A. not bad　　 B. very bad　　 C. the lowest　　 D. the best

3.Many parents in American are ______ when their children get B-grade in their schools.

A. happy　　 B. sad　　 C. angry　　 D. worried

4.The underlined part “once in a while” in the first paragraph means _____

A. always　　 B. for a long time　　 C. sometimes　　 D. hardly

5.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Expectations in China are very high for students.

B. American schools are not strict enough with students.

C. Chinese children have more work than American children.

D. There are different expectations for children between China and American.

Henry has recently received a letter from Paul, his pen-friend living in Canada. Here is the letter:

Dear Henry,

Thanks very much for your email, which I want to reply to for ages.

I have finished all my exams. The last one was History. It's extremely horrible because our teacher set a lot of long questions but only a few multiple choice items. I think this subject is difficult because there're lots of facts and dates to remember. I've got a poor memory and I hate to remember things. I'm afraid I won't pass the examination.

So this is the end of Year 8, my second year at secondary school. I did eight subjects in total. The worst were History and French. I find them very boring and difficult to learn. I've already forgotten most of the things I was taught! I need to study hard next year.

I liked Geography best this year, but we only had it twice a week. Our Geography teacher, Mr. Hill, is great. He taught the subject very well. He didn't like to spoon-feed students with lots of facts. He preferred to let us learn independently. He didn't give us any homework the whole year. Perhaps he hated doing homework when he's a student!

We did a project with Mr. Hill about several countries in Europe and Asia. Some of my friends went to the library for photos and I used the internet to search for appropriate information. Mr. Hill gave us a lot of valuable advice. At the end of the term, we gave an oral presentation in front of the class. I'd like to be a pilot, then I could travel and see all those places.

I'm going to visit Tokyo with my three classmates next month. We won't stay in a hotel because my uncle has a large house there. You visited ·Tokyo last year, didn't you? Do you think we need to learn some Japanese before our journey? You've told me that Japanese food is delicious, haven't you? We'll have the opportunity to try it ourselves soon! I've saved money for the journey for nearly half a year. We're all very excited about it.

Please tell me about your year at school. Were your exams easy?

Best wishes,

Paul

A.yesterday B.a long time ago C.not long ago D.just before Paul's examination

Dear human beings,

1 hesitated (犹豫) a lot before writing this letter. All I want to do is to ask you to have a look at your life. But I’m not sure whether or not you’ll pay attention to me.

I’m a pretty old tree now. I’m 80 years old. So I’ve seen much of the world. We’ve lived on Earth with you for thousands of years. Each day we release oxygen and remove harmful gas so that you have pure air. We cool the air so that you don’t have to run your air conditioners all the time. We help prevent the soil from being washed away. And above all, we give all kinds of fruit, nuts, beans as well as wood to you.

We like the world，we like you human beings. But you’ve never been interested in us. For example, do you know how amazing we are? Do you know that, just like you, we trees are communicating with one another? And a tree can warn its neighbors of danger if insects attack it? And some of us pass nutrients (养分) and water around by joining our roots together underground? I suppose you don’t. We are now in great danger because of you. You are, in fact, destroying us at a terrible speed. You are burning and cutting down millions of us each year, hut you’re not planting enough. For every tree being planted today, 30 trees are being cut down. What would you do if all of us died? Perhaps you would die, too. Without us, you wouldn’t get the ingredients for some of your important medicines, you wouldn’t have enough material for buildings, furniture, paper products, and your cities would look ugly. In addition, air pollution and noise pollution would become more and more serious，and your life would turn nasty….

Well, the list could go on forever, but I think I should stop. The best thing for you to do now is to stop destroying us and start protecting the environment, because we are the best fighters against pollution and we are your best friends!

I wish all the best for you，and good luck!

Your friend,

An old tree
