　　Dear Aunt Mary,

　　Jane and I were very sorry to hear that Uncle John died last Thursday. Mother and father stayed' with us on Saturday and Sunday, and they told us the sad news. We know that Uncle John was not well, of course, and the cold weather that we have had for the past few weeks has not helped him to get better, but the news came as a very unpleasant surprise, all the same.

　　We were most unhappy that we could not come and see you both ten days ago on Uncle John's birthday. Mother tells me that he was his old self(和过去一模一样) laughing, and full of life. This is how, I am sure, Jane and I shall always remember him. He was a good man, who was never too busy to read to us, play with us and listen to the stories about all the silly things we did when we were young. He was the kind of uncle every child loves to have.

　　We shall be at the church(教堂) on Friday, and of course we hope to see you again on Christmas with all the rest of the family.

　　With love and best wishes.

Yours

　　Bicycles are very popular around the world today．People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment．In some places, people use a bicycle to get to work．In other places, bicycle riding is a very popular exercise to people who live in cities．But who invented the first bicycle?In 1791, a Frenchman named Comte de Sivrac invented and owned the first bicycle．Mrs．Sivrac rode(骑)the bicycle in Paris．The handles(把手)and the seat were wooden．This bicycle was very difficult to move．A rider even had to pick up the front wheel to change direction．Finally, the bicycle had no brakes for stopping or pedals for the feet!Riding a bicycle was a great risk．

　　Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, U. S. A., is in the central part of the state, on the Santa Fe River, which flows into the Rio Grande 35 kilometers west of the city. More than two thousand meters above sea level, it lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with the Ortiz Mountains to the southeast.

　　Santa Fe was founded in 1609 by the Spanish on an old Indian village. In 1680 the Indians seized the place but only held it for twelve years before the Spanish retook it. The city remained under Spanish rule until Mexico won its independence in 1821. From then on it was a Mexican city until 1846 when it was taken over by American troops.

　　With a population of 48 953, Santa Fe is now the second largest city in the state. Because of its sunny weather, rich history and surrounding mountains, it is a good place for holiday makers. Besides hunting and skating in the mountains people enjoy shopping in the Indian and Spanish shops, which brings a large income to the city every year. In summer there is an international opera season when operas are shown in a partly-roofed, open-air theatre daily for people from all over the world.

1．Which of the drawings below gives an idea of what Santa Fe is like?

RG=the Rio Grande SFR=the Santa Fe River OM=the Ortiz Mountains

[　　]

A．
