Dear Gramps,
I was so upset last week when somebody stole my Super Racer from the park by your house. I
called up the toy company but they said they have only red, blue and green racers. Dad called Cobb"s
Toy Store today and found out they might have purple ones. Can we go there when I come to visit
you next week?
You and I were only gone for a few minutes to the shop down the street to get ice-cream and
cookies. Maybe the thief was watching us. Mum was surprised when I told her the racer was stolen.
She said she used to leave things at the park all the time when she was young. Once she even left her
bicycle for two days near the swimming pool.
Tell Grandma that I like the food she made last time. Ask Grandma if we can have pancakes with
sugar for breakfast when I come this time. I have packed in my towel, comb and soap. Tell her this
time I won"t forget to pack in my toothbrush.
Love
Toby |

举一反三
| 阅读理解。 | Believe it or not, the ability to choose is the power to change. If you can choose to live your life differently,
will you be the same person?
Well, choosing to do the following few "simple" things will help to change your life.
Review your life. Take time to go through your life and ask yourself, "If I do the same thing I do every
day, will there be a change? If I want to change, where will my first step be?"
Make careful choices. Choose exactly what you wish to get to live your life; describe and think what you
really want.
Keep up with chances. Find out about the possibilities and ways that can make you move toward your
goals, write them down and see which one suits you most.
Get down to business. Start working on your goals. People may bring you down; you may have difficulties;
you will fail and want to give up. But the most important thing is never to give up.
If you try these "simple" things, you will find that success is something for everyone, and you will finally
become what you want to be. Remember, success is more than what you hold in your hands; it is something
from the heart. | | 1. How many pieces Of advice does the writer give on changing one"s life? | A. Three.

Read the following descriptions (A, B, C and D) and match them with the four opinions marked 1-4.
( )1. Tom: I"d like somewhere to sit and read and enjoy myself.
( )2. Eric: I hope our school can be more comfortable and convenient.
( )3. Tess: I really prefer to have a place to do some exercise after class.
( )4. Ann: I think our school should buy more equipment like computers. | A
Our school is big with nice modern
buildings and everything, but there is one
thing I would really love-a gym. We"re
right in the middle of a big city and the
traffic is very busy, so I find it very difficult
to get out to the gym at lunchtime, A gym
would be good for the school. If more
people went to the gym and did some
exercise, they"d probably work better! | B
What I"d most like to have is a little
cafe, where we students can rest and do some
reading. At the moment people have to stand
in the passage, or even outside and there"s
nowhere to buy a drink or something, or read
the paper, so people don"t stay in school for
long after the lessons finish. I think it would
be completely different if they had somewhere to
enjoy themselves. | C
Our school has a nice building, and is
in a nice part of the city. Unfortunately we
haven"t got much equipment, so I"d really
like to have a computer room with the
Internet available. I think students can
learn a lot this way. And I"d like to have
VCDs in every classroom instead of tapes.
VCDs are so much more interesting for
learning a language, I think. | D
Our school is just uncomfortable in every
way. For example, the chairs are really
uncomfortable, so the next thing I"d like to
do is get some comfortable chairs of good
quality. Oh, and the worst thing is that
we"re on the fifth and sixth floors of our
building, so I"d love to have some lifts put
in. Just one little lift would make our lives so
much easier! | | 完形填空。 | Today Mr. Johnson, a member of the International Olympic Committee, visited a high school in Beijing.

It says that 38% of them believe they use the Internet often. While most of them get useful information and
use the Internet to help in their studies, some are not using it in a good way. Many are playing online games
too much. A few even visit websites they should not look at. Bad things can happen if young people spend
too much time on the Internet.
In order to help young people use the Internet in a good way, a textbook has been used in some Shanghai
middle schools this term. It uses real examples to teach students all about good ways of using the Internet.
It gives useful advice such as it"s good to read news or find helpful information to study. Some students also
make online friends.
Teachers and parents all think the book is a very good idea. It will teach students how to be a good person
in the online world. It will be a guide for teens using the Internet and keep students away from bad sites. | | 1. The report shows that _____ of the 3 375 students are playing online games too much. | A. 38％

a book? Well, some people will say, "Why bother with books? We have the Internet that offers a lot of more
colorful fun. Books are history!" But don"t be fooled. I"m sure there"s still a lot to be said for reading.
One clear reason is that a well-chosen book can give you a lot of wonderful vocabulary, so long as you
have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it"s far easier to get new English words and phrases from a
book or an article than it is from the TV or the Internet.
But another more important point is that books give you something that the Internet simply can not. The
average webpage is picture-heavy and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible. While
"easy" may attract you, unfortunately it"s of little use for any long-term development of reading skills and the
general language level. Because of that, reading on the Internet cannot take the place of reading books.
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it independently means
that it"s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It"s hard work, but
somewhere down the line, you"ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure. | | 1. How many reasons for reading a book does the author mention in the passage? | A. One.
B. Two.
C. Three.
D. Four. | | 2. One clear reason for reading books is that it is much easier to get new _____. | A. fun
B. articles
C. pictures
D. vocabulary | | 3. Some people say "Books are history!" because _____. | A. they like funny books
B. they don"t like reading at all
C. they don"t like history books
D. they like reading on the Internet | 4. In the author"s opinion, _____ can have long-term development of reading skills and the general language
level. | A. reading books
B. reading on the Internet
C. taking holidays
D. checking dictionaries | | 5. The writer thinks we can find _____ in reading books. | A. pleasure
B. knowledge
