Dear Sir,

I read your story(of the 5th may) about the cost of living in the country, and I agree with what you said. I lived in a seaside town two years ago. When my husband stopped working, we moved to a small village.

I have to do my shopping in small shops, and things are more expensive than in city supermarkets; it also costs more to travel by bus.

But it does not cost us much to enjoy the beauty and quiet in the country. We can enjoy them just by going out  of the front door. Though it costs more to live here, we have an enjoyable life now.

                                                    Yours faithfully,

                                                     Helen Smith

Dear sir ,
I have travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along the routes: the(路線): the number 49 and the number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road, it is always full, so I can’t get on it, I have to wait for the number 49 because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is true, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The rules say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting Why do the half-empty buses go straight(一直)past me when I am standing at bus stop?
The rules say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 people.
It is clear that our bus companies break the rules and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service(服務) better?
Yours
Tired passenger

 Dear Sir or Madam,

Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was quite angry about the service of your station.

The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow. A man at the station said sorry to us, but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay (誤點). We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. So I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

What’s more (更重要的是), the service on the train was quite poor. The trip took more than five hours. Unluckily, we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was wrong with the air conditioning and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we arrived in King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.

Because of your poor service, I think you should pay me compensation (賠償).

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours, David Robertson

請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容從所給的選項中選出最佳選項。

1.When did the train leave Glasgow?

A. At 8:00 a.m.             B. At 8:40 a.m.      C. At 9:00 a.m. 

2.How did David go to Frankfurt from London?

A. By plane.               B. By bus.      C. By car.

3.How long did David stay on the train?

A. 40 minutes.            B. 30 minutes.    C. Over 5 hours.

4.What could David buy on the train?

A. Hot dogs.            B. Sandwiches.    C. Soft drinks.

5.Which of the following is NOT true? 

A. This is not a thank-you letter.

B. David was very pleased with the trip.

C. The service of the station was very poor.
