    The other day, I heard from a girl. She said that her friend just got a dog. Her friend talked about the dog all the time. It made the girl feel bad because she didn't have one.

Here's what I wrote back to her:

Dear Judy,

There are people who have nicer homes than us, have better jobs, or, in your case, own a cute dog you don't have.

It's quite natural(自然的)to want things that we can't have, but instead, we should appreciate (珍惜)what we already have, or feel happy for people who have the thing we want.

In fact, owning a dog means a lot of hard work. Dogs need care, attention, exercise and love.

There's also a lot of cleaning you'd need to do for it. Dog hair and dirty paw prints (爪印)would be everywhere in your home.

It's great to spend time with dogs though, so why not ask your friend if you can join her when she takes her dog out for a walk? You'd get to spend some fun time with your friend and get some exercise by walking.

And who knows--one day, you might own your own dog, too.

Dale

  1. (1) Who did the writer get a letter from?
    A . Judy. B . Dale. C . Judy's friend. D . Dale's friend.
  2. (2) What was the girl's problem?
    A . She didn't like her friend anymore. B . She didn't like having a dog as a pet. C . She felt sad because her dog was lost. D . Her fiend had a dog and she didn't have one.
  3. (3) What does the writer think of the girl's problem?
    A . So funny. B . Too bad. C . Really great. D . Quite natural.
  4. (4) What is the main idea of Paragraph 3 of Dale's letter?
    A . Owning a dog is easy. B . Keeping a dog is not easy. C . Nicer homes are good for everybody. D . Dogs are the most difficult animal to keep as a pet.
  5. (5) What does the writer advise(建议)the girl to do?
    A . Ask her parents to buy her a dog. B . Do something else with her friend. C . Join her friend to walk the dog together. D . Write to her friend to show her feelings.

Dear Li Ting,

I know you are going to spend your summer holiday in Japan. Yesterday, I read a book about Japanese body language. Now let me share something with you.

First, when people meet in Japan,they don't shake hands. They bow to each other. And look at the OK gesture(手势). For us, it means everything is OK or good. But it means money for the Japanese. When people in Japan want to say OK or something is good, they shape( 使成.为…样子) their arms above the head into a big "O".

Lastly, this gesture means number nine in China, but it has the meaning of a thief(小偷) in Japan.

That's all. And I hope you have a great holiday.

Yours,

Liu Hui .

Hi,

This is the year 2070. I have just turned 50 years old, but I look like a person of 85. I get bad kidney (肾脏) problems because I don't have enough water to drink. I'm afraid I live to the end of the world.

I remember when I was five years old, everything was very different. There were lots of trees in the parks. I could enjoy a shower for half an hour. At that time, women all had beautiful hair. Now, we have to cut hair off from our heads so that we can keep them clean with no water.

I remember there were "Save Water" warnings (警告) in many places, but nobody thinks about them. Now, all the rivers and lakes are either dry or polluted (被污染的). Water is more expensive than gold.

Years ago, doctors asked people to drink eight glasses of water a day. Nowadays, I can drink only half a glass. Most of us are sick and lots of young people look old.

Because there are no trees, we have to pay for air. It is not very fresh, poor people die young.

When my son asks me about my childhood, I tell him about how enjoyable it was and how healthy people were. When he asks, "Why is there no clean water now?", I feel sad. I am the one who turned a blind (瞎的) eye to all the warnings.

I wish this letter could take a trip back in time and it would make people in the 2020s truly know the importance of saving water.

Natalie

  1. (1) Natalie had a health problem because she _______.
    A . stopped taking a shower B . was a very old woman C . couldn't drink much water D . had no money to pay for air
  2. (2) Which of the following is TRUE?
    A . Natalie always takes walks in a park. B . Natalie's son is fifty years old now. C . The water in the river isn't clean in 2070. D . Natalie wants to move to a new place.
  3. (3) The purpose (目的) of writing this letter is to ask people _______.
    A . to save the water right now B . not to wash hair every day C . to drink eight glasses of water a day D . to cut down trees for some money
  4. (4) It can be inferred (推断) that Natalie feels _______ when she is writing the letter.
    A . excited B . sorry C . relaxed D . happy

My dear son,

It seems like yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital, and now you are my little man. Your father and I were very nervous being first-time parents. I have been a mother for five years. When I look back these days, I cannot help but smile.

Every milestone (里程碑) of yours was a kind of personal success for me. Your first smile your first word, your first step…As years passed, things started to get very challenging. Sometimes I found myself in very difficult situations. ________The mess you made and the millions of naughty things you did really stressed me out. The times I was worried the most were when you were sick.

Now I have learnt to deal ① ________ them calmly. The one thing that helped me through the hard times was your smile — it made me forget everything and realize it was all ② ________ it.

Soon it was time for preschool (幼儿园). I prepared you as much as I could for that terrible first day, but you cried so much and I sat down and cried with you. After the first week, you felt better, but I still cried because I didn't want to let go. But I want you to enjoy yourself, enjoy your schoolwork, make good friends and most important of all be a good man. The conflict (矛盾) has troubled me for a long while.

I have learned so much from you and will continue to do so in the following years. How to forgive (原谅), how to love unconditionally (无条件地) without expecting anything in return, how to enjoy the small things in life…The list is too long…Thank you! You have made my life meaningful! Wish you good luck!

Love and always,

Mom
