English and likes to answer the questions in class.
One day in the English class, Mr. Smith, the English teacher, asked the students to make sentences with
"I".
Jack put up his hand. He stood up and said:" "I" is the ninth…"
The teacher was angry. He stopped Jack and said:" I have told you again and again not to say, "I is". Don"t
you remember?"
"Yes, I remember, Sir." said Jack..
"Well, go on with your sentence, then." Mr. Smith said.
Jack went on with his sentence. "I am the ninth letter in the English Alphabet(字母表)."
All the students in the class laughed. Mr. Smith"s face turned red. He looked at Jack and said:"I"m very
sorry, Jack, and I take back (收回) what I said."
B. doesn"t do very well in
C. is very bad at
D. doesn"t like
"I don"t see why I can"t be the best person to write an advice column for the students called Dear Amy!"
Andy said to Jenny, the editor of the school newspaper. Andy agreed to do it if Jenny did not tell it to anyone
else.
At first it wasn"t too bad. Most of the letters he received were interesting and quite easy to answer. Then
came a letter from a person named Joe.
"Dear Amy," it began. "I"m in real trouble. I"ve wanted to be a songwriter all my life, but my parents won"t
even let me take music lessons .I have a guitar, but they both get angry if I play it, I"ve tried explaining, but they
won"t listen. I feel sad. Should I run away from home? Maybe that will make my parents change their minds! "
The letter was written by "Joe".
Andy thought about this letter for a long time. Should he advise someone to run away from home? But did
n"t Joe have a right to be a songwriter if he wanted to? Andy thought hard but couldn"t think out a good answer.
Andy couldn"t sleep . He just worried about poor Joe.
In a reading room a few days later, Eleanor, a girl in Andy"s maths class, sat down next to him and said,
"You look a little bit worried"
"I guess I do." Said Andy.
"If you"ve got a problem, why don"t you try writing to Dear Amy about it?" asked Eleanor.
Andy groaned, but she went on."I guess Dear Amy is rather busy with other problems. She still hasn"t
answered the phoney letter I wrote her last week .You"d better read it — it may make even the most hard-
hearted person cry! It was thought to be from a songwriter named Joe."

About a hundred people lived in a very small mountain village. It was very 1 from the other villages
and towns. They had few friends and they got bad harvest. 2 of them left the village. Of course there
was neither electricity (电) nor gas (煤气) there.
Once a writer 3 the village. The backwardness (落后) of the village surprised him. He decided 4
about it to the world. So he took the oldest villager to London. The old man told all about his home village to
the people. Several months 5 he returned. All the villagers went to see him and asked him how he had
enjoyed 6 in the city.
"Everything is wonderful in 7 ," the old man said.
"I"ve 8 to many good places and eaten all kinds of nice food and other things. But the trouble was I
could not 9 at night."
"What happened to you?" his wife asked.
"The 10 was on in my bedroom all the time."
"Why not blow it out, then? "
"I tried-but it was inside a little glass bottle."
Travel by train
Jack loves traveling by train. Whenever he feels like traveling, he"d first think about taking a trip on the
rail. That is because he never has to bother to book (订) tickets or collect them in advance (提前). Going to
the station and buying a ticket are what he has to do.
Traveling by train is also very comfortable. Most of the trains are air-conditioned, warm in winter and
cool in summer. Jack usually chooses a non-smoking section, taking a seat by the window so he can enjoy
the outside views. If it is a night train, the experience can be exciting. He just sleeps the whole night and the
next day, he will be in a new city. By the way, he never has to worry about his meals. The train provides
food around the clock.
Traveling by train has another advantage to offer: you may run into some old friends or you can listen
to people talking about something of your interest. Last week when he was on a train, for instance, he ran
into a primary school classmate. They didn"t expect that they could bump into each other that way. Their
talk brought back many things: the games they played, the jokes they made on their peers and the funny
things they had done.

The young man turned around and 7 with his two bags. He was very 8 when he arrived, but
he shouted through the window, "What did I leave behind?"
As the train began to move again, the passenger who had 9 him back opened the window and said,
"A very 10 impression ( 印象)!"
He pretended (假装) to look for 4 on the ground by her feet. It wasn"t long before the woman noticed him
