【题目】To whom it may concern,

My husband Jim and I got married in 1965. For the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then about four years ago, our youngest child went to school, and I thought I might go back to work.

Jim was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He started to do all the things I used to do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.

After several weeks of job hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relation firm. At first, my husband was proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”

But, as his joking words were becoming reality, Jim stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and a new car. Because of our combined incomes, Jim can do things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is unhappy.

We fought about little things, and Jim is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end.

I love Jim very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior(较差的), but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Can you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?

Please help.

Yours,

Mary

【题目】Galaxy saw a man and a woman who communicated with the sign language at the train station when she was on the way home one evening. She noticed that the woman asked the man for the direction. He told her that he did not know. Galaxy decided to help them. She had learned the sign language when she served as a volunteer in the deaf and mute（聋哑）school. Then she showed the woman the direction and left her email address to them in case they needed her help later.

She received an email from that man the next day. Kazrim was his name. Galaxy replied his mail sincerely.

They both started chatting online soon after and began seeing each other. Although they only communicated with the sign language, it never bothered her.

Galaxy was fond of him gradually. Obviously, Kazrim was the same too. He presented Galaxy with a bunch of sunflowers and asked her sincerely, “Are you willing to be my girlfriend?” Galaxy was pleasantly surprised. She requested him to give her some time to persuade her parents.

As she had expected, her parents were very angry after they had learned of their love story. Galaxy explained, “Kazrim is an excellent and a very optimistic person. He has a very positive attitude towards life and work. He cares for others always. He is 100％ better than the normal. Moreover, the mute is still a human. He should possess a perfect and wonderful love. ”

Her parents asked to see him, then. The very worried Galaxy took Kazrim home a few days later. When they were on the train, Kazrim told her, ‘‘I’m going to tell your parents I’ll be looking after you well with all my life!” Galaxy was deeply moved.

As soon as they had entered the house, Galaxy introduced him to her parents. She said, ‘‘This is Kazrim.” Just right after her speech, an unbelievable thing happened. Kazrim threw the gift away and held her in his arms tightly.

He said, “YOU CAN TALK?” It was the same question that Galaxy wanted to ask, too.

The four people were shocked all of a sudden. As a matter of fact, Kazrim always believed that Galaxy was a mute and he still fell in love with her deeply.

【1】How did Galaxy and Kazrim get to know each other?

A. They met each other by chance.

B. They were introduced to each other.

C. They once studied at the same university.

D. They both served in a special needs school.

B. Using the sign language.

C. Judging from his expression.

D. Speaking her native language.

【3】What can we learn about the two young people from the passage?

Dear Mandy，

I'm not doing well in my lessons at school, especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy，but it's not true. I work really hard,often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother，but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard，and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair! The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad，all he said was，“ You mustn 't waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons! ”I'm feeling quite puzzling as to what to do now. Would you please help me out?

Thanks a lot!

Yours sincerely，

Lisa

I was working as a short-order cook at two restaurants in the same neighborhood. At an Saturday night, I was finishing the dinner shirt at a first restaurant and hurrying to work at the second place, but I was delayed. Because one table kept sent back an order of pancakes, insisting they were too colder. I replaced it several times, and still the customers were dissatisfied.

As soon as I was able to leave, I race out of the restaurant. Hardly I arrived at my second job when a server immediately handed me my first order. “Make sure of that these pancakes are hot,” she said, “because the customers just left a restaurant down the street where kept serving them cold ones.”
