Dear Sir or Madam,
     Last Thursday, I traveled in the 8:40 am train from Glasgow to London King"s Cross and I was very
unhappy with the service provided by your company.
     The train was forty minutes later leaving Glasgow. Although the guard apologized, we were not given
any reasons for the delay. We then had further delays when the train crew changed. We had to wait another
thirty minutes. As a result, I missed my flight from London Heathrow to Frankfurt and had to wait for
several hours.
     What"s more, the service in the train was also very poor. The trip took over five hours. Unluckily, there
was no dining car in the train and only a bar with soft drinks. The worst of all, the air conditioning broke
down halfway through the trip and it got hotter and hotter in the train. However, there was no apology for
this, and before we reached King"s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃. In view of the poor service, I
feel I am entitled to compensation. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
                                                                                                                                Yours faithfully,
                                                                                                                                 David Robertson @silverline.com>1. What time did the train start its trip to King"s Cross that morning?
    _______________________________________________________________
2. What happened to David because of the delay of the train?
   _______________________________________________________________
3. Why did it get hotter and hotter in the train?

2. He missed his flight from London Heathrow to Frankfurt.

     One night, a hotel caught fire and people inside ran out in their night clothes. Two men stood outside
and looked at the fire.

think about money when they are afraid. When you leave money in a fire, it burns, so I took all the bills

     "What"s your work?"

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading. After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn"t wash her window. It really looks terrible." One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning. I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean! Then it drawed on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window,but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcoming (缺点).

阅读下面短文，根据所给语境，按要求完成下列各题。
In 1996, 39 American children started a very interesting project (计划)-the Green Tree Project. The students began the project by gathering walnuts (核桃) in autumn. The nuts were buried in cages in the school garden in mid-November. (1)In this way, the seeds (种子) could be kept cool and moist (潮湿) for several months before they started growing. In February, the seeds were dug up, so they could begin to sprout (发芽). Sprouted seeds were kept in fridges, so they could be stopped from growing until the time to plant. (2)This helped keep the trees about the same size at planting time. In March, sprouted seeds were planted in paper soft drink cups. Each student was asked to plant 12 trees. (3)Then the trees were carefully watered and watched. The first walnut trees began to appear in about a week… On April 29th, the trees were transplanted (移植) to the lake. (4)It took the children only 90 minutes to plant all the trees. It was so interesting to see a treeless area turn into a forest right before their eyes.
