I"m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school master is very
angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not
want me in the school any longer. The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. As
I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking,
so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket. It caught fire.
There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket. It caught fire too. Soon the whole room was burning.
The master phoned the fire brigade (消防队). The school is a long way from the town and before the fire
brigade arrived, the whole school was on fire. The master said that the fire was all my fault and I must pay
for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I"m very sorry for this.
Much love

getting one. First there is the traditional (传统的) way. Find some friends and form a group. Learn to play the
guitar or the drums. Write your own songs. Spend hours arguing about the band name. then go out on the road.
The next step is to spend a year or two touring. If you are any good, the crowds will get bigger. In the end
an artist from a record (唱片) company may come to a show. If he or she likes you, there may be a deal (交易). This is the path traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. Success means fame and wealth. And
failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.
Over the last few years a different path to success has become known. Boy bands like Boyzone and girl
bands like Spice Girls don"t come together on their own. They are created by managers and record companies.
Their image (形象) is strictly controlled. Professional (专业) song writers usually write their music. This is a
convenient arrangement (安排) and the public seems to love the result.
Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently, there is a long tradition of making music in
this way. In the early 1960"s an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records. Motown
is short for "motor town". The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African-
Americans had moved to work in the car industry. They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and
performing music. This style later became known as "soul music". Berry Gordy was a diamond miner.
Motown stars were not just given songs to sing. They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.

along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投诉) from consumers
or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
Those about passengers" things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
booked. Tours are problems about the passengers"traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.

to work in a travel agency (旅行社), arranging journeys for other people. Brain Lawley does this, working in
a small travel agency in an industrial city. Most of his work is concerned (有关) with holidays, both at home
and abroad. Every autumn, the agency sends out hundreds of booklets (小册子)full of attractive coloured
photographs, describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have next year. Soon people begin to
come into the office to book their holidays: perhaps a week"s skiing in Austria in January, perhaps a cruise (巡
游) to the Caribbean in February, perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May, or a tour to North Africa, Brain
often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them, and they always have a lot of questions.
Last year, for example, a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering (登山) holiday in the Alps,
and Brain had great difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable. In the end, she decided to go for
a Mediterranean cruise instead.
Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated (复杂), but
Brain enjoys this work. For example, last spring Mr.Perry, a director of a local chemical firm, went on a
business trip, and Brain arranged it all for him. First, Mr.Perry traveled to London by train, and stayed overnight
in a hotel near the airport, because his plane left nearly the next morning. He flew to Frankfurt, in Germany,
where he spent the morning discussing business. Then he went on by train to Zurich, where he stayed the
night. After a meeting the next morning, he caught a plane for Tokyo, and spent three days there before going
to America. He had business in Seattle, Chicago and New York, and stayed some time in each of those places.
From New York, he flew back to London and then went home by train. The next day he telephoned the agency
to thank Brain for arranging everything so well for him.
B. People who would like to travel but cannot.
C. Ambitions people.
D. The people who go on holidays abroad.
B. Every year.
C. In January.
D. Shortly after receiving the booklet.
B. Brain arranged everything so well for him
C. the agency sent Mr. Perry abroad on business
D. Brain helped him in the travel agency
a. Fly to Tokyo b. To Frankfurt c. Back home by train
d. Fly back to London e. To Zurich by train
f. Have business in Seattle, Chicago and New York g. To London by train
B. c, b, a, g, e, f, d
C. g, b, e, a, f, d, c

of the 1 are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and 2 . The pay is usually poor, but most
people work abroad for the 3 of travel. You can pick grapes on farms in France, entertain kids on American
summer camps, and, of course, there are 4 jobs in hotels and restaurants.
But it is not easy now to find work. " 5 you speak the language of the country well, there will be very
few openings," says Althea Ellis, an adviser on 6 for students."If you work with a family in Italy, you"ll
have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak 7 .
British students only have a language 8 for jobs in the USA and Australia."
9 enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The
two teachers with the children had never been 10 . One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill
and was 11 home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the 12 they made, and what"s
worse, Sarah herself was robbed on her only 13 evening of the entire trip."I did visit a lot of new places,"
she says,"but it wasn"t worth it. The pay was 14 and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!"
"The trouble is, students expect to have a(n) 15 time of it." Althea Ellis points out. "After all, they see it
as a 16 . In practice, 17 , you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual (临时的)
work. You"ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. In other words, you"ll work
if it"s convenient for the company that 18 you. But you have 19 employment rights. As soon as the holiday
season 40 , they"ll get rid of you."

| 1. I love bridges! Walking across a large river, a busy road or over a railway line is very exciting for me. Sometimes, if the bridge is very high, I feel like I"m flying. If the bridge is very long, I think there may be a problem arriving at the other side. If the bridge is very narrow, I think it may break! When I travel I like to cross bridges. In the USA I crossed the Golden Gate, in Australia I crossed the Sydney Harbour Bridge and when I was in Thailand I crossed the Friendship Bridge to Laos. 2. Luckily I live in London and there are many bridges here. I live near Chelsea Bridge. So you can imagine how excited I was to hear that there was a new bridge to celebrate the millennium (太平盛世). A new bridge in London! The first new pedestrian bridge! A bridge just for people, so no cars, trains or pollution. (Excitement about a new bridge) Every weekend I went to see the building of the bridge. It was great to see it changing and growing. Then at last it was finished and it looked beautiful. It runs from St Paul"s Cathedral to Southwark, it is long and wide. 3. I was really happy that day the bridge opened. I went with my friend Janice and we waited with all the other people who wanted to cross the bridge too. Everyone was very happy and talking about the bridge. The mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, said:"It will be so good to actually walk across the river peacefully, without cars and trains thundering by." 4. Then, at last, we walked across the bridge! We walked slowly and looked down at the river below. I was very excited. Then I could feel the bridge move a little. It moved to the left and then it moved to the right. Then it moved again to the left and to the right again. I wasn"t excited now, I was a little afraid. The other people stopped talking and looked at each other. The bridge was swinging to the left and right! I was very happy to arrive at the other side of the river without a problem. 5. The next day the bridge was closed and it had a new name: not the Millennium Bridge but the Wobbly (摇摆) Bridge! The architect said there was not a problem: the bridge is designed to move. So the bridge was reopened again later. It is now my favorite bridge in London and I try and cross it as many times as possible. | |||
| A. The building of the new bridge B. Moving bridge finally won my love C. Opening of the new bridge D. Special feeling about brdges E. Everybody loved the bridge F. Walking across the new bridge |
