I"m now writing to you at Hartsop, a village in the Lake District, a place to have
most beautiful scenery (景色) in English couple here to spend Christmas with them.
This was planned for overseas students to know British way of life by living with
British families.
We came two days before Christmas and during our stay, we have had everything
we expected. Christmas turkey, Christmas cake, Christmas puddings, Christmas parties
and Christmas gifts under the Christmas tree. All are exciting and amusing (有趣的),
but above all these, we are deeply touched by the hospitality (好客) of the family, Roger
and Anne Marie.
Anne Marie was a nurse and all these days, she had been busy cooking meals, washing
dishes and showing us around. Roger, who was a doctor, knows a lot about China and still
wants to know more. He plays us Chinese music and it seems to me he does better in that
than we do. In the evenings, we all sit around the fireplace with Tim, a lovely dog, by our
side. Like long-time-no-see friends, we talk about all the things that have happened or we
hope to happen in our lives. There is always so much to tell and to know.
After three months away from home, we are again feeling how sweet a home can be.
Roger and Anne Marrie are not like most of the other people we have met who always make
us feel we are foreigners in a foreign country. They show such kindness to us that they bring
us a person-to-person feeling, instead of a British-to-Chinese feeling. They make us believe
that though there are differences of languages and cultures, one may always expect to find in
every corner of the world the feeling of love and being loved. How I wish Mum and Dad could
meet them!
How I wish you were here with me! How strange it is that the more I feel at home here,
the more I miss my real home and all of you. We always talk about "when we go back home
next year…" and soon we will turn this into "when we go back home THIS year…" for the
New Year"s Day is coming. Miss you.
Love

举一反三
human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things.
Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly
trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of
danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming,
even if their master ordered them to do so.
Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police
duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing
horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung
(易紧张). Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient
(耐心) and understanding.
The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as
monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the
camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals,
such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families
and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to
him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin
of his teeth.
B. to obey only safe orders
C. never to cross roads
D. to cross road when ordered to do so
B. smaller than other horses
C. clever than other horse
D. more nervous than other horses
B. give the animal a certain task
C. order the animal to do things
D. follow the animal to hunt
B. they are returning to their families
C. they have been trained to work with other animals
D. they do not know a movie-actor is nearby
man goes shopping 1 he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in 2 .
He knows what he wants, and his goal is to find it and 3 it. All men 4 walk into a
shop and ask the shop assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock (库存),
the deal can be done and 5 is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any
chat to everyone"s 6 .
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop doesn"t have what he wants.
In that 7 , the salesman tries to sell something else-he 8 the nearest to the article
required. A good salesman brings out such a substitute (替代品) 9 , and he may say,
"I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size?
It 10 to be the colour you mentioned." Few men have 11 with this treatment, and
the usual response is "This is the right colour and may be the right size, but I shouldn"t
be 12 my time and yours by trying it on."
For a woman, buying clothes is always done in the 13 way. Her shopping is not
often 14 on need. She has never fully decided what she wants, and she is only "having
a look round". She is always 15 to persuasion, willing to try on any number of things.
Deep in her mind is the thought of finding something that 16 thinks suits her. Most
women have an excellent sense of value and are always on the look-out for the unexpected
17 . Faced with a roomful dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one
rail to another 18 selecting the dress she wants to try on. It is a tiresome process, but
apparently a(n) 19 one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting 20 .

| Reading comprehension. | |||
| There is famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door. This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment (碎片, 片段). This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone. The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But marc damaging may be the cell phone"s disruption of our thoughts. We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our call phones, and this is by and large a healthy, productive development. "I didn"t hear it ring" or "I didn"t realize my cell phone had shut off" arc among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we"re beyond reach. The notion or idea of being unreachable is not a new concept-we havoc "Do Not Disturb" signs on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while? The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of difficulty with distance communication. Until the recent mass deployment of cell phones, it was easy to communicate with someone next to us or a few feet away, but difficult with someone across town, the country or the globe. We came to take it for granted. But cell phones make long-distance communication common, and endanger our time by ourselves. Now time alone, or conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cell phone devotees, myself usually included, can"t help at times wanting to throw their cell phone away, or curse the day they were invented. But we don"t and won"t, and there really is no need. All that"s required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it. In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt for the rings of our phones. Given the case of making and receiving cell phone calls, if we don-t talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later. A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from a person next to us. Though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg-who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I"m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the pizza I"ll eat for lunch. | |||
