Dear Mr.ing,I’m Bob Watson, one of the custom...

Dear Mr.ing,

I’m Bob Watson, one of the customers in your grocery store. I’m writing to express my idea about your goods.

Your Supermart is outstanding in many ways. First I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. Second your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermart. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I don’t like to make two trips. I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. If I could find all the items I need in one place, I would be a more satisfied customer.

Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.

I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.

Yours truly,

Bob Watson

"Hey, Dad," one of my kids asked the other day, "what was your favourite fast food when you were growing up?"

"We didn't have fast food when I was growing up," I informed him．"All the food was slow．" "Where did you eat?" "It was a place called 'at home'．" I explained．"Grandma cooked every day and when Grandpa got home from work, we sat down together at the dining table, and if I didn't like what she put on my plate I was allowed to sit there until I liked it．"

Some parents never owned their own houses, set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a credit card．

My parents have never driven me to soccer practice．This was mostly because we never had heard of soccer．I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed．We didn't have a television in our house until I was 11．I was 13 when I tasted my first pizza; it was called "pizza pie"．When I bit into it, I burned the roof of my mouth and the cheese slid off, swung down, plastered（粘贴）itself against my chin and burned that, too．It's still the best pizza I ever had．

I delivered newspapers, six days a week ．The paper cost 7 cents, of which I got to keep 2 cents．I had to get up at 4:00 a．m．every morning．On Saturday, I had to collect the 42 cents from my customers．My favourite customers were the ones who gave me 50 cents and told me to keep the change．

If you grew up in a generation before there was fast food, you may want to share some of these memories with your children or grandchildren．

Growing up isn't what it used to be, is it?

1.By saying "All the food was slow", the writer implies that ____．

A．when he was growing up, he never ate fast food

A．his grandma would make something he liked

B．his grandma would buy him fast food

C．he would sit there waiting for his favourite pizza pie

D．he had to eat it or go without

3.The writer's purpose of writing this passage is to _____.

A．tell his children there was no fast food in the past

B．tell us that life has been changing

C．tell us how hard it is to deliver newspapers

D．made us understand the meaning of life

Dear Mr. Wolfson，

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of one of our citizens who I believe should receive some special recognition for dedicated (敬业的) community service. The person I recommend is Elizabeth Samuelson. I believe you know her in your position as volunteer coordinator (协调员)．

I have known Elizabeth for more than 20 years as both a friend and a neighbor. During that time I have seen her work tirelessly on scores of community projects and committees. As far as I know, she has never received any kind of recognition from the community for her work. I believe she should be given some sort of special recognition.

Just last year alone, she worked on at least six different community projects including the Park Renewal Project and the Heritage Homes Fund­Raising Banquet. In addition, she is a weekly driver for the Meals­on­Wheels program and she visits patients in the care unit on a regular basis. Whenever a project or committee needs her, she will put herself into the work wholeheartedly. I'm sure that if you check with a few of your staff members who have been there over the years, they will confirm Elizabeth's community service record and probably be able to add many examples to the few I have given here. By the way, Elizabeth has no idea that I am writing this. She is a humble (谦虚的) person, and if she were aware of it, she would not allow me to send it.

I thought about writing such a letter about her a number of times in the past but just never took action. Then last week, I noticed in the paper that you sponsor (主办) an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people with much less community service than Elizabeth. In fact, I checked with her and she has never even been invited to that annual event!

I urge you to correct that omission (疏忽) now and take action to see that Elizabeth is properly recognized for her many years of silent but outstanding service to this community.

Sincerely，

Linda Sullivan

1.Linda is Elizabeth's ________.

A．friend and colleague　 　　 B．neighbor and leader

C．neighbor and worker　 　　 D．friend and neighbor

2.From the letter we know that Linda ________ Elizabeth much.

A．depends on　 　　　 　　　　 B．looks down upon

3.According to the letter, Elizabeth ________.

A．wants to be asked to take part in the annual event

B．contributes much to the community

C．has been invited to the annual dinner

D．has been given a lot of honors

4.What can we learn about Mr.Wolfson from the letter?

A．He knows Linda quite well.

B．He is a careless person.

C．He tries something to reward those who have done much community service.

D．He tries his best to find Elizabeth and do something to reward her.
