Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,

　　　 Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train．It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before．

　　　 College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.

　　　 It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.

　　　 Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.

　　　 But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't you

have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.

　　　 I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls.

　　 I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett.

　　　 The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.

　　　 Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.

Yours most respectfully,

Jerusha Abbott

To Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith

　　　 When buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be:

　　　 As described:

　　　 This includes the history of the car as well as its specification．For example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner”, it shouldn’t turn out to have had several previous “boy racer” owners.

　　　 Of satisfactory quality:

　　 It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problem．Also, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory”, because there’s certainly an element of wear and tear．

　　　 Fit for the purpose:

　　　 It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the seller．

　　　 ●If any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the fight to reject the vehicle and get your money back if you’re reasonably quick. Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款).Once you’ve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car , you must stop using the vehicle.

　　　 ●If the rejection is not accepted, then it’s up to you to prove your case. You’ll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.

　　　 ●If the car is new ,it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.

56．After the above writing, you will be better at 　　　　.

　　　 A．choosing a car　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．dealing with car sellers

　　　 C．making a claim　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．suing for damages

57．According to the text, what is essential after you inform the dealer of your wish to reject the car?

　　　 A．Suing for damages．　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．Demanding traveling expenses．

　　　 C．Stopping using it．　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．Proving your case．

58．If the dealer offers to repair the car you have bought, which of the following is acceptable?

　　　 A．Asking the dealer to provide you with a hire car．

　　　 B．Asking the dealer to provide you with repair tool sets．

　　　 C．Asking the dealer to pay all of your traveling expenses．

　　　 D．Asking the dealer to return all your money．

59．Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in the last paragraph?

　　　 A．Different． B．Effective． 　C．Discouraging． D．Convenient．

60．What does the writer want to say in the last paragraph?

　　　 A．Buyers should select a dealer that offers to repair the car．

　　　 B．Rejecting a new car is not necessarily that best choice．

　　　 C．It’s necessary that a new car should be repaired．

　　　 D．Buyers should never reject a mew car．

       Tom went to the seaside to spend his holiday last summer with his family．One day, he was swimming in the river when someone shouted, “Look out , there is 48．     shark not far away!” hearing the shout, Tom was scared to death 49      he was scared of its dangerous characteristic." Don’t worry, Tom！" His father said, "50     we’d better go back to our hotel in order to avoid being harmed.”

       51.      stayed in the seaside for several weeks. Though the weather was much hotter, Tom got used to it. Every morning, he got up52.       than his parents and went for breakfast ahead of time. Then he went to have a chat with his new friend, Jack．Not only53．      Jack familiar with the seaside, but he was also a man with good qualification．They became very good friends soon．After parted, they kept writing to each other．Now, Tom still often hears54．       Jack．

　　　 It’s just a small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree．No name, to 36　 ．It has peeked (looked quickly)through the branches of our tree for the past 10 years or so．

　　　 It all began because my husband Mike　 37 Christmas－oh, out the true meaning of Christmas, but the 38　 aspects of it－ overspending and the frantic（匆忙地） running around at the last minute to get gifts because you couldn't think of anything else. So, I decided one year to bypass the usual shirts, sweaters and ties and reach for something 　 39 just for Mike.

　　　 The inspiration came in an 　40 way. Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team of mostly black kids sponsored by a church. These young men, dressed in ragged sneakers,　 41 a sharp contrast to our boys in their nice uniforms and sparkling new wrestling shoes. As the match began, I was alarmed to see that the other team was wrestling without helmets, a luxury that they obviously couldn’t　 42　 . Well, we thoroughly defeated them and took every weight class. Mike shook his head 43　 , "I wish just one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential, but losing like this could take the heart right out of them.1"

　　　 Mike loved kids and he knew them. That's when the 　44　 for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local 　45　 goods store and bought wrestling headgear and shoes and sent them anonymously（慝名） to the church. On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Mike what I had done and that this was my gift from him. His 　46 was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and in 　47　 years.
