Dear Sir/Madam,

Very glad to know in the post bar that our broadcasting station needs new members this term.

 Dear Sir/Madam,

  Very glad to know in the post bar that our broadcasting sta-tion needs new members this term. I'm writing to apply to be one of you!I am Li Hua,a boy/girl from Senior One. I have ever been a broadcaster for one term before,and in Junior Three I gained the first prize in the contest of Putonghua of our grade. My friends around always tell me my voice sounds beautiful. Of course,I know clearly being a broadcaster calls for extra devotion and more hours after school are necessary for better performance. Perhaps,my high school life will be busier with such a task every day,but I'd like to develop myself and hope to obtain more knowledge after class to make my new school life more fulfilling. I'm eager for your reply and I'll be more than happy if you can consider my application. Please contact me by telephone at 5103123 or e-mail at lihual01@hotmail. com.

 

                                Yours faithfully,Li Hua

  If something that you¡¯re doing doesn¡¯t challenge you,then it doesn¡¯t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives,after all.1.        So challenge the following limits£º

  1. Figure out what you¡¯re scared of and do it continuously.

  If you¡¯re a salesman,and you¡¯re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone,now,instead of being scared and thinking you¡¯ll fail,spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call.2. But don¡¯t stop on the first try!Eventually,you can look at fear in the eyes and say, ¡°Go on,I¡¯m not scared!¡±

  2. 3.        

  Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career;you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking,sewing,painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself,taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.

  3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.

  4.        A simple 9-minute run around your neighbourhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight,but also make you feel better about yourself.

  4. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.

Don¡¯t just limit yourself to your fellow travellers¡ªtry to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they¡¯re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class.5.     

   A. You should do it continuously.

   B. Someone may hang up on you.

   C. You don¡¯t need to go to the gym.

   D. Running in the gym may be a better choice.

   E. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.

   F. Take a class for a hobby you¡¯ve been wanting to develop.

   G. You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.

 I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight (»õÔË) yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can slightly 1        the brightness of sunshine and what colour red is. It would be wonderful to see again,but 2        can do strange things to people.    ;

  It 3        to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn¡¯t been 4     . I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so 5,otherwise. I don¡¯t mean that I would prefer to go without my 6        I simply mean that the loss of them made me 7      the more what I had left.

  Life,I believe,asks a continuous series of 8        to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments,the more 9      his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. The hardest 10      I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was 11      If I hadn¡¯t been able to do that. I would have 12      and become a chair rocker on the front perch (ÃÅÀÈ) for the rest of my life.

  It took me years to discover and 13        this belief. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was 14        at me  and I was hurt. ¡°I can¡¯t use this ,¡± I said. ¡°  15 it with you¡±¡¯ he urged me ,¡°and roll it around. ¡± The words stuck in my head. ¡°Roll it around!¡± By rolling the ball I could hear 16      it went. This gave me an idea on how to achieve a goal I had thought 17      £º playing baseball. At Philadelphia¡¯s Over brook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of 18      We called it ground ball.

  All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them,one at a time. I had to learn my 19      It was no good to try for something I knew at the start which was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of 20      I would fail sometimes anyway but on average I made progress.

 Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H20 as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin,makes you feel pretty good about yourself,right? It shouldn¡¯t. Even when the bottles are recycled,there are all kinds of other consequences of swallowing bottled waterways Melissa Peffers,the air-quality programme manager for Environmental Defense.

  The containers are often filled in faraway lands,then shipped from abroad,and stored in refrigerators at your local store. Compare that with the influence on environment of turning on your tap,filling a glass,and drinking up!

  Anyone who is choosing bottled water for health reasons is misguided,says Peffers.   ¡°Most bottled water is just tap water. ¡±And what comes out of your tap is carefully monitored to follow the strict rules. Consider another fact that bottled water is surprisingly expensive,especially when compared with the alternative,which is almost free,and it is astonishing that America¡¯s desire for bottled water seems impossible to satisfy,reaching nearly 30 billion bottles a year.

  ¡°My parents¡¯ generation never had bottled water¡±¡¯says Isabelle Silverman,an Environmental Defense legal adviser. She has made a commitment to going bottle free.   ¡°You don¡¯t need to fetch it home from the store,and it¡¯s cheaper,¡± she adds.

Bottled water¡¯s role as a status symbol needs to change,Peffers points out. So when a waiter at an expensive restaurant offers¡°And what¡¯s your drink?¡±that,no reason to forget your conviction (ÐÅÄî) .¡°Don¡¯t be afraid to say, ¡®I¡¯ll have tap. ¡¯ Say it loud enough that the other tables nearby can hear you¡±¡¯Peffers says. ¡°And then spend that money on a dessert. ¡±

(   ) 1. In the first paragraph,the underlined sentence ¡°It shouldn¡¯t, ¡±suggests that people     .

   A. shouldn¡¯t feel pleased with finishing the water in the bottle

   B. shouldn¡¯t feel good about drinking an expensive brand H20

   C. shouldn¡¯t be content with just recycling empty bottles

   D. shouldn¡¯t be satisfied with drinking only bottled water

(   ) 2. According to the author,tap water is     .

   A. as safe as bottled water

   B. more likely to be polluted

   C. healthier than bottled water

   D. less convenient than bottled water

(   ) 3. The underlined part ¡°going bottle free¡±(in Para. 4)means ¡°        

   A. making bottled water free

   B. abandoning bottled water

   C. recycling used water bottles

   D. providing free water containers

(   ) 4. Why does Peffers ask people to say ¡°I¡¯ll have tap. ¡±

loudly?

   A. To encourage them to set an example for others to follow.

   B. To advise them to save the money for one more dessert.

   C. To remind them to be aware of their social status.

   D. To persuade them to speak confidently in public.

  Italy is one country where beauty is prized more than any other virtue. That is,except in the small town of Piobbico,the self-declared World Capital of Ugly People. The road sign at the edge of the town even warns visitors that they are entering the ugly zone. People who consider themselves ugly have been gathering in Piobbico since the 1960s. That¡¯s when Ugly Club president Telesforo Lacobelli established a dating agency for women who believed they were too ugly to attract husbands. Lacobelli believes that he is ugly himself because he has a short nose in a country where long or large noses have always been considered beautiful.

  People from around the world travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness. During the annual Festival of the Ugly,which occurs on the first Sunday of every September,hundreds of people gather in Piobbico¡¯s town square to elect the president of the Ugly Club. Lacobelli wins the election every year. The Ugly Club has over 20,000 members. They carry ID cards that grade their ugliness from bearable to extreme. A prize is awarded to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.

  The Ugly Club president insists that ugliness is a virtue. Since beautiful people get a lot of attention for their beauty alone,they have to work hard to prove their other virtues. Ugly people,on the other hand,are genuine and do not have to prove anything to anybody,according to Lacobelli.

  Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere. He believes that the uglier one is,the better life can be. Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty,especially beauty contests,Lacobelli has a serious side as well. He believes that too many people suffer from financial and emotional pressures because they don¡¯t meet society¡¯s standards of beauty. The fact that beautiful people are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.

(   ) 1. Piobbico is rather special in that    .

   A. it is a very small town

   B. it is home to ugly people

   C. it receives no visitors

   D. it is the capital of Italy

(   ) 2. Why is Lacobelli elected the president of the Ugly Club every year?

   A. Because he is the ugliest person in the whole world.

   B. Because his ugliness is always graded as bearable.

   C. Because he is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere.

   D. Because he has won the members¡¯ trust and admiration.

(   ) 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. Ugly people are most respected in Italy.

   B. The Festival of the Ugly is held every two years.

   C. Ugly people are unfairly treated in society.

   D. The uglier one is,the better life he or she lives.

(   ) 4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

   A. The ugly capital of the world
