Hello Sandy,

We have just returned from our holiday. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with no people, just sheep and birds.

Edward, who had just come out of hospital, could not walk as far as he used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a cafe for lunch each day, before returning to the place we live. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!

I have taken lots of photos from the place we live, across the valley（峡谷）below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam powered trains（蒸汽火车）are very popular. I have taken many photos of the train and from it.

Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early （we usually expect snow in January）. It rained all day, and then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!

Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I told you, in the last E-mail, that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is enjoying the work.

Please write to us to tell us your news.

Yours,

Victor

    I first met Windy, a six-year-old girl, on the beach near where I lived. Every time when I felt unhappy, I
drove to the beach. She was building sand house or something else there. She looked up, her eyes were as blue
as the sea.
    "Hello." She said. I answered, but didn't really want to stop her."I'm building." she said again. I saw that.
"What is it?" I asked her."Oh, I don't know. I just like the feeling of the sand."
    Oh, that's good, I thought, and took off my shoes to join her. A sandpiper (一种水鸟) flew by. She told me
that it would make me happy. I felt better then.
    On my next visit, I learned that Windy lived in a summer cottage (小屋) and didn't go to school, even though
it was winter. Soon after, my mother died, and I rushed to the beach to be alone. I didn't want to say anything
when Windy came up to me."Why?" she asked.
    I turned to her and shouted, "Because my mother died!" "Oh," she said quietly, "then today is a bad day."
    A month later, I went to the beach but couldn't find Windy. I missed her so much that I visited her house. I
learned that Windy had died of leukemia (白血病), but left a picture of a sandpiper for me, to make me happy.

     Imagine that you are the first person ever to see Hawaii. What would be the first thing you would set
foot on?
     The beach, naturally. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. These
islands cover l,600 miles and are about 2,300 miles west of California. Most of them are covered with fine
white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.
     Another wonderful thing about the beaches of Hawaii is the water temperature. The year-round average
(平均) temperature of the water at the famous Waikiki Beach is 23℃!
     The same is true of air temperature. In fact, there are no real seasons in Hawaii. There is a difference of
only two or three degrees between the hottest day of summer and the coldest day of winter. That's why the
Hawaiians don't have a word for weather in their language.
     Perhaps the nicest thing about Hawaiian beaches are the waves. The earliest settlers (定居者) in Hawaii,
the Polynesians, quickly leamed how much fun it was to ride the waves. They developed a sport which is
now very popular on the islands called body surfing. You go out into the ocean, wait for a big wave to come
towards you, jump on it, and ride it all the way to the beach.
     Now imagine once again that you are the first person ever to set foot in Hawaii. What do you think would
be the second beautiful thing you would notice? Would it be those strange triangles ( 三角形状物) rising out
of the water hundreds and hundreds of meters high? What are those beautiful things? They are volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands. They made the islands at first. Because of
them the islands are still growing.
     The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the world's most active volcano. It has been
erupting (喷发) for thousands of years. Even when it isn't erupting, smoke comes out of the earth from a
thousand little holes.
     In 1950 Mauna Loa erupted for twenty-three days. That erupting produced the greatest amount of lava (熔岩) in modem history. In 1960 it erupted again. That time it added a kilometer of beach to the island. Because
Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the world.
     These volcanoes could be dangerous to the population of Hawaii. In fact, hello, the second largest city in
Hawaii, is built just under Mauna Loa. The volcano could erupt at any time. Most people believe that it will
erupt sometime in the next twenty-five years. But the people of Hilo do not seem worried. They live with the
danger as part of their lives.
1. According to the passage, what are the two most beautiful things in Hawaii?
A. Waves and cities.
B. Beaches and language.
C. Volcanoes and beaches.
D. Volcanoes and people.
2. Which is NOT the reason why the Hawaiians don't have a word for weather in their language?
A. There are no real seasons in Hawaii.
B. The temperature of the water at one of the beaches is always 23℃.
C. The Hawaiians feel almost the same in the hottest day and coldest day.
D. There is not much difference in air temperature all the year round in Hawaii.
3. What should be the meaning of "body surfing"?
A. Riding waves.
B. Body-building.
C. Sea bathing.
D. Jumping into the sea.
4. It can be inferred that _______ according to the passage.
A. volcanoes are more active because the area of the island is enlarging
B. the visitors to Hawaii can probably see more than one active volcano
C. Mauna Loa is the tallest mountain in the world because it has erupted so often
D. people in Hilo are sure that more visitors will come because of volcanoes
