题目内容
Mr Read was born in a small village which is surrounded (环绕) with high mountains. He has few pieces of fields and he can't get enough food for his family. He's often worried about it. So he works harder and harder and tries his best to get more money.
One afternoon Mr Read went out to look for some grass for his cows. It was very hot and he had to have a swim. Suddenly he sew something sparkling (闪闪发光) in the water. He swam there and found it was some gold in the sand. He was so happy that he hardly forgot he was in the river. He ran home and asked his son to help him to get all the gold out of the water. The next morning he sent his son to sell it in the market. But the young man was afraid to do it. He had to go to the town himself. He didn't pay any attention to the traffic lights when he crossed the street. A car hit him down and he was hurt. He was sent to hospital at once. The doctors were satisfied with the operation and said, “You'll be fully recovered in a week. We're sure you can write with your right hand when you leave hospital.”
“It's really a miracle (奇迹)!” shouted Mr Read, “I could either read nor write before!”

Sunday wants to write about West Hill in Sunshine Town for her history project. She is interviewing Mr.Hu, a 60-year-old man, who lives in West Hill. Read their conversation.
Sandy: |
How long have you lived in West Hill, Mr.Hu? |
Mr.Hu: |
I’ve lived here all my life. I met my wife here and we got married. This area was called Taihe Village before. |
Sandy: |
When did they change the name? |
Mr.Hu: |
5 When the West Hill underground station was built, the government started to take down the wooden houses in this area. Since June 2000, Taihe Village has become history. |
Sandy: |
What do you miss most about Taihe Village? |
Mr.Hu: |
10 I miss many things about Taihe Village. I was a dentist and everyone in Taihe Village knew me well. Now, I'm old and I can only sell medicine to people in the street. In the past, there were many stone and wooden houses around here. Also, there were big trees in the village. The air was very fresh. |
Sandy: |
Did you have noise pollution from cars and trains? |
Mr.Hu: |
15 Yes, but not very serious. |
Sandy: |
I’ve heard that the food stalls were very famous here. Is it true? |
Mr.Hu: |
20 Yes. The food stalls sold very good snacks but they all moved. That's why it was easy to find mice here before. Everyone in the village was used to seeing mice. We weren’t surprised to see mice in the street at night. |
Sandy: |
That's terrible! |
Mr.Hu: |
25 We're glad that it has improved so much but I really miss everything here in the past. Many of my friends moved because the government gave them new flats in new towns. I sometimes feel lonely. Every time I see a chessboard, I think about them. |
Sandy: |
Mr.Hu, thank you so much for the information. Although the village has disappeared, it is still beautiful in your heart. |
