Dear Peter,

Nice to hear from you. In this mail, I’d like to share with you my volunteer experience in my community hospital during the summer vacation.

I worked from July 15th to July 31st, during which time people over 55 were given a free medical examination. Every day I arrived before 6:30 and helped organize the people who came. Then I would help them fill in the forms. Leading them to the different departments was also part of my duties. Often, by the time their examinations were over at 11:30 a.m., I was already bathed in sweat.

Tired as I was in those days, I benefited a lot from the experience. My confidence built up and my communication skills improved.

How was your holiday?

Yours,

Li hua

第一节

（Text 1）

W: Stone Hotel, Mary speaking.

M: This is Mr. Wood. I’d like to speak to Mr. Hunter, please.

（Text 2）

M: Why did our head teacher pull such a long face today?

W: He found three students playing games in class.

（Text 3）

W: Why are you so late? A traffic jam?

M: No, and not my alarm clock, either. In fact, my aunt came without informing me in advance. （Text 4）

M: Already ten past seven. Why hasn’t Lucy arrived yet?

W: Don’t worry. There is still twenty minutes to go before the film starts.

W: What about this dress, Sam? It cost me nearly five hundred dollars.

M: It’s fashionable, but I’m afraid it’s not of your style.

（Text 6）

W: Daniel, you coughed a lot last night.

M: Yes. I hope it didn’t affec t your sleep.

W: Oh, no, not that. What I really want to say is that you should quit smoking. More than 30 cigarettes a day is too much. They will ruin your health.

M: I know. But without a cigarette, I find it hard to get inspired while writing.

W: Many other ways can have the same effect, such as outdoor activities or watching entertainment shows.

M: Sounds reasonable. I think I can get something when I am getting close to nature.

W: Why not buy yourself a mountain bike? You longed to have one.

M: OK. Tha t’s a good idea.

(Text 7)

W: Hello, David. I’m calling to ask whether you can pick me up at the airport tomorrow afternoon.

M: When?

W: At 4:00.

M: I am afraid I can’t. I will be giving a report then. Susan will be available the whole day. I will ask her to pick you up.

W: Thanks. But doesn’t Susan have to work tomorrow?

M: She has quit her job and is looking for a new one.

W: Why, what a good salary she got!

M: She said good pay couldn’t make up for the loss of health. She couldn’t sleep well every night due to the stress.

W: I can’t agree more. The work was too stressful.

M: Yes. But her boss Bruce was quite satisfied with her.

W: What will you do this weekend? The weather forecast says it will be fine.

M: I will visit my grandma in the countryside.

W: Doesn’t she live here with your family?

M: No, she says she can’t stand the noises.

W: Yes. Also the city is too crowded and the air too dirty.

M: What about you? Got any plans?

W: I had intended to go fishing with my father. But he has other plans. So I will stay at home helping my mum do a thorough cleaning instead.

M: You are so considerate. See you next Monday.

W: Have a good time with your grandma. See you!

（Text 9）

W: Charlie? Charlie?

M: Ah…Oh, hi, Jane! I didn’t realize somebody was comi ng.

W: Not surprising. You were so absorbed in reading.

M: I never knew a park like this could be a good place for reading.

W: By the way, have you found a topic for your paper yet?

M: No. Professor Smith asked us to write anything about life. But I am still at a loss.

W: Well, why not write about life in Greece? You are always interested in that part of the world. M: But there is too much material to cover. Mr. Smith only wants a paper of five to seven pages. W: Yes. Countries like Greece and Egypt have too much for us to explore. Then what about life in Korea? You were there last summer and know what impresses people most.

M: Well, not a bad idea. I brought back lots of souvenirs and books with me. They will give me some inspiration.

A solar-powered plane has made history by flying from Japan to Hawaii, a journey of almost 6,500 kilometres. The plane’s name is Solar Energy 2. A kind of material that covers the plane turns the sun’s rays into power. Scientists hope that all airplanes in the futur e will fly using solar power. Solar Energy 2 landed in Hawaii after a 118-hour flight across the Pacific Ocean. The Swiss pilot shared his feelings after arriving in Hawaii. He wrote, “Just landed in Hawaii with

Solar Energy 2. It’s a dream coming true.” The flight broke the previous record of 76 hours, which was set by American pilot Steve Fossett in 2006.

Solar Energy 2 is attempting to fly around the world using only solar power. It set off from Abu Dhabi in March and stopped in India and China. Its next stop will be Los Angeles in the USA. From there it will fly to New York, before heading to Europe and then back to Abu Dhabi. One of the aims of the journey is to raise awareness about climate change and renewable energy. The Solar Energy 2 pilot told the USA Today Newspaper that, “The most important thing isn’t to make world records. It’s to show what we can do with clean technologies. This is important for our planet because airplanes produce around 12 percent of the CO2 from all sources of transportatio n.”

All the houses are painted white and the skies are clear. It's not surprising that the life here is very relaxing, and it is also home to plenty of cafes and art galleries. Wengen in Switzerland Do you ever wonder how the world was before cars were invented? The village called Wengen might just help you realize your dreams. Cars have been banned from this area for close to 100 years, and everything looks like it was taken right out of Heidi. The locals have kept their Swiss culture undamaged. Shirakawa-go in Japan This village is certainly known for its unusual houses with triangular roofs which seem to resemble hands joined in prayer. It's designed to keep snow from piling up on top of houses. These houses are the symbol of the area but there aren't many of them left anymore. Eze in France France in itself is pretty, but its most attractive village is Eze. This community seems to be frozen in time. This village is the perfect melting pot of cultures because of its closeness to Nice. During the Middle Ages, it was desired by invaders(侵略者),and while this was a cause of sadness for the local people in the past, today the village enjoys its rich heritage(遗产).The architecture here is so diverse.

When I was a baby I would stand in my wooden crib(婴儿床) and watch the world go by through the window. Some neighbors watched me watching the world go by with by big, wondering eyes and found me very interesting. They used to call me “the beauty at the window”. The early neighbors I could remember were from the second house I lived in. Peter and Paul were twins. We went to play school together although they were a year older than me. I well remember the Alsatian they had which ran into me when I was invited to their fifth birthday party. Needless to say, I was well-known for my loud screams after the party. But they said the pet was scared of my screams and didn’t appear until the party was over. Peter and Paul were the first boys who encouraged me to climb the gate. I could never tell the difference between boy and girl behaviors—I just did what I thought was fun. Not only did I have a great time performing that first climb, I also got my skirts dirty, and was criticized by my mother. The Japanese neighbors I had living in this same house were my favorite, as they introduced me to sea-salt baked shrimps (烤虾) which were so crisp that you could eat the shrimp totally. They gave me some seaweed for my birthday. Thankfully, no other member in my family enjoyed the seaweed as I did. Perhaps what my mother used to joke to me was true, that I was picked up out of the dustbin that belonged to a Japanese home. Maybe sometimes it is difficult to find good neighbors in this society. But all it takes is a spark(火花) to get a fire going. I have decided to be that spark wherever I live and pass love on to my neighbors. 21. We can guess "the Alsatian" in the twin brothers' home is ___________. A. a small child B. an interesting toy C. a dog D. a bicycle 22. From the passage we can know that the author___________. A. enjoyed the Japanese neighbors' cooking style most B. had difficulty getting on with the twin brothers' family C. was described as interesting when playing with boys D. had many neighbors that worked in restaurants 23. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author often moved to other places. B. Peter and Paul liked to play tricks on others. C. The neighbors the author had were good at cooking. D. The author had a good relationship with her neighbors. B Below are four ads on the website.Artful Experience It’s an artful experience even if you’re artistically challenged.
