Boys and girls! I’d like to share my swimming experience with you. My swimming experience is extreme interesting. There was a time when I swim like a rock. This went on till one day when I was fishing with a friend of mine at the pond. I slipped into it. Had my friend not come to my rescue, I would have drowned. Since then, I had come to know the important of learning to swim. I didn’t attend at any training class but learned it all by myself. Strange to say, I have no difficult swimming at all now. Though the way I swim looks awkward (笨拙的), at least it can keep me floating. Think of this, I feel quite satisfying.

Yours,

Zhang Ming

【題目】When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital.

However, I soon discovered that one big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娛樂活動(dòng)). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising — and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十幾歲) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

【1】What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

A. Staying on the farm.

B. Leaving home for the city.

C. Moving to the countryside.

D. Running away from the school.

【2】Which of the following is true about the writer?

A. He lives in the city now.

B. He is in good health.

C. He prefers driving a car.

D. He is very old now.

【3】In the passage, the writer tries to ________.

A. persuade the reader to live in the city

B. describe his life in the countryside

C. show an interest in the outside world

D. express his opinions about way of life

【4】How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By inferring.B. By listing examples.

C. By comparing.D. By discussing.

I’m tired and covered in dust. I’ve been digging all day and I’ll be doing the same tomorrow. Sound awful, doesn’t it ? But I’ve never had so many fun in my life. As an archaeology student, I have already knew something about the Qin Tomb and the terracotta warriors. Most Chinese children can tell you Qin Shihuang was the emperor first unified China. He was a brilliant ruler, and he was also a cruel man who killed thousands of people. When he became the king of the state, he immediately ordered workers to construct an underground tomb for him, which is said to contain great treasures. But, the actual entrance to the tomb has ever been found, nor has the tomb been opened. There are ancient descriptions of crossbows hiding at the tomb’s entrance. It’s said that if everyone steps across the entrance, the crossbows will fire.

Dear Mr. Green,

I'm very exciting to learn that you will start a magazine together. That sounds great and I definitely agree you on that.

Some of the columns that you mention in the letter are really my cup of tea. "Cultural Express" give us a better understanding of the world. Since people from different part of the world have different values, it's necessary to learn from each another. Apart from that,。Blurt Out" is pretty good for Chinese students to learn English idioms and improving oral English. “Entertainment" is also cool! The popular singers, actors or celebrities are so attractively that you absolutely can't miss this part. Teenagers are to fond of popular things, too.

Well, I can't list more. I really can't wait to read this magazine.

Yours．

Li Ming
