Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to you about the terrible service（服務(wù) ）from your company, On March 14th I ordered the latest S. H. E. CDs on   1   website, which my father kindly paid   2   me with his credit card （信用卡）.  3  in your advertisements you promised that I could get them the next day, I did not receive  4  from you until a week later. When your CDs    5   ,they were not tile CDs I ordered.

 I sent   6   e-mails to your Customer Service, but my messages were all returned. I think there is maybe a mistake in the address you give to the customers! I  7    tried to call your helpline, but the line was always busy or no one   8

George was very stingy (吝嗇的). He hated spending money.        Whenever he had to buy something, he always argued about the price and tried to bargain (討價還價), even for the cheapest things.       If he wanted to buy a bottle of coke, for example, and the shopkeeper asked for $2, George would say, "Make it $1.90 and I'll buy it."       Sometimes the shopkeeper agreed to reduce (降低) their prices a little. "What's ten cents?" they asked themselves."If it makes this man happy, then it won't hurt me very much."       In this way George saved a few cents here and a few cents there, and by the end of the year, he had saved several hundred dollars.       One day he had a very bad toothache and had to go to the dentist. The dentist looked at the tooth and said, "This tooth will have to come out. It's too damaged (損壞的) to save."       "How much do you charge (要價) to take out a tooth?" George asked.        "Forty dollars." the dentist said. "Forty dollars!" George thought this was much too expensive.       "How long will it take you to pull out the tooth?" he asked.       "About two minutes," the dentist said.       George could not believe what he was hearing. "Forty dollars for two minutes' work!" he shouted. "That's robbery (搶劫)."       The dentist smiled. "You're right," she said. "Thank you for telling me. I'll pull your tooth out very slowly. What if I take half an hour?"

A Solar-powered Plane---Lowcarbon Earlier this month, a solar-powered （太陽能動力的）plane called Lowcarbon took off to the sky for the first time. It has passed an important test on the way to travel around the world． Lowcarbon took off from an airport in Switzerland（瑞士）at 45 km an hour. It slowly rose into the sky. “There has never been an airplane so big, so light, using so little energy,” said Bertrand Piccard, a leader of the project. During the 90-minute flight, Lowcarbon did several turns. It climbs nearly 1．6 km above the countryside. Engineers plan to test a night flight in July. Then they will use the results of the tests to build a second plane. They plan to travel around the world in that plane in 2012． “We want to fly it day and night with no fuel,” Piccard said． Piccard and pilot Andre Borschberg will take Lowcarbon around the world .They will make a few stops to change places and rest after a long time in the air----and to show off their aircraft. Lowcarbon flies at 70 kph on average（平均）. That is faster than a bike and slower than a car. The pilots will keep it in the air for up to five days at a time.

Today almost everyone knows computers and the Internet. If I ask you “What is the most important in your life?” maybe you will say “Computers and the Internet.”

The first computer was made in 1946. it was very big but it worked slowly. Today computers are getting smaller and smaller. But they work faster and faster. What can computers do? A writer has said, “People can’t live without computers today.”

The Internet came a little later than computers. It is about twenty-five years later than computers. But now it can be found almost everywhere. We can use it to read books, writer letters, do shopping, play computer games or make friends.

Many students like the Internet very much. They often go into the Internet as soon as they are free. They make friends on the Internet and maybe they have never seen these friends. They don’t know their real names, ages, and even sex. They are so interested in making the “unreal friends” that they can’t put their hearts into study. Many of them can’t catch up with others on many subjects because of that.

We can use computers and the Internet to learn more about the world. But at the same time, we should remember that not all the things can be done by computers and the Internet.
