Dear Mr. Plant,

I am an enthusiastic camper and longtime X-Ports customer, but after being offended(冒犯)for the third time at your Sierra Vista location, I am writing to complain about your impolite employees.

Several months ago ,I bought a tent that leaked(漏)the first time I used it and wanted it replaced . When I took it back, your employees accused me of tearing it myself. I left not only withm1, torn tent, but no refund(退款) and no satisfaction.

A couple of weeks ago , I bought a sleeping bag that was supposed to sleep two people comfort-ably. It didn't. Your employees refused to give me my money back even though I had the receipt. I was asked to leave the store, again with no satisfaction.

To my misfortune, my latest purchase(购买), of a piece of camping equipment at your store proyed to be another disappointment. The propane (丙烷) camp stove I bought didn't work properly. When I returned to exchange it, the rude clerk refused to help me because I did not have my sales receipt. It was an even exchange! He said that I was a problem and even asked if I had seen what products I-could purchase at one of your competitor's stores at comparable prices. Was he accusing me of something? Why would I have brought a receipt for an even exchange? Why would I know the price at other stores?

Furthermore, the clerk called security and forced me to leave your store-without my camp stove! How can I go camping now? The tent leaks, the sleeping bag is just wrong, and I don't have a stove to keep warm ! Who is going to refund my money for my stove? Who is going to help me get over the abuse I suffered in your store?

You, as the area manager must clear these matters up for me immediately! I am sending copies of this letter to your main office and the Sierra Vista Store.

Sincerely ,

Ima Kumpanee

If you are a modern art lover, you should be sure to drop by the Saatchi Gallery during your visit to London. The original gallery was by Charles Saatchi, a British art collector for founding the Saatchi and Saatchi advertising agency with his brother. It moved from its old in St. John’s Wood to its new home in County Hall near the Thames in the spring of 2003.

Anyone who has heard in the past of the often shocking but always inspiring works on at the Saatchi Gallery will not be when visiting the gallery’s new location. Along with the of new British artists, the gallery still the works of Damien Hirst, the Chapman brothers, and Tracy Emin in its permanent .

Of the artworks, one can see in the Saatchi Gallery, Hirst’s works are probably the most . Hirst’s work first made headlines in the early 1990s when he art from dead animals.

Along with Hirst, the Chapman brothers, Dinos and Jake, also a certain amount of their fame to the Saatchi Gallery. It was through Saatchi these two brothers came to public attention. At the gallery, visitors can see the brothers’vision of Hell, made from 30, 000 plastic toy soldiers.

Another artist featured at the gallery who has grabbed with her art is Tracy Emin. In 1998, Emin gave to argument when she sold her messy, unmade bed to Saatchi as a work of art My Bed at £150, 000.

Are any of these works really art? That is a question you will have to answer for when you visit the Saatchi Gallery. Charles Saatchi himself says, “I don’t have any ground rules for art. Sometimes you look and don’t feel very with it—but that doesn’t tell you very much. It doesn’t reveal much about the quality of the work.”

Some of the most painful moments I spend as a vet (兽医 ) are those spent with my customers assisting my animal patients from this world to the next. Making this final decision is not easy, and I have often felt powerless to comfort the sorrowful owners.

That was before I met Shane.

I had been called to examine a ten-year-old dog named Belker who had developed a serious health problem. The dog's owner—Ron, his wife, Lisa, and their little boy, Shane—were hoping for a miracle (奇迹). But I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia (安乐死) for the old dog in their home. As we made the arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the euthanasia. They felt Shane could learn something from the experience.

The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him.

Shane seemed so calm, patting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on.

A few minutes later, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's death without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a little while after Belker's death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.

Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up: "I know why."

Shocked, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next astonished me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation.

He said, "Everybody is born so they can learn how to live a good life: like loving everybody and being nice, right?" The four-year-old continued, "Well, animals already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."

1. Shane's parents wanted Shane to witness the euthanasia mainly because ____.

A. they hoped he could gain something from it

B. they knew he hated to part with Belker

C. they wanted him to remember Belker forever

D. they intended him to learn to carry out euthanasia

2. What can we learn from the third paragraph?

A. Belker got sick mainly because of lack of care.

B. There was no hope for Belker to recover but to suffer.

C. Shane didn't feel sad about Belker's death.

D. Belker didn't want to live any longer because of the pain.

3. We can infer from the underlined sentence that____.

A. words failed the vet when he tried to comfort Belker's family

B. the vet was familiar with the feelings of Belker's family

C. the vet would rather not perform the euthanasia

D. the vet's throat was uncomfortable with Belker's family around

4.What would the author say about Shane?

A. He knew little about animal lives.

B. He felt unexpected about Belker's death.

C. He had a unique opinion about life.

D. He was an outgoing and warm-hearted boy.

We had moved from Cairo to Illinois, away from my grandmother when I was eight years old. I her terribly. I was told I was her favorite ; she was my favorite “Granny.”

My heart for a long time after we went away. Mother must have noticed I wanted to see her, she would take my and me back to visit my Granny sometimes. I know Granny loved us. it was something you could feel with your . She didn’t live in a fancy(豪华的) house or have things, but I never cared.

Although she didn’t have much, did we, she did something for my brother Tommie and me. I will always remember she saved her in a glass jar, which had her since she was married. I am sure Granny could have those pennies herself but she saved them to us when we came to visit. Because I was the older, I was dividing(分) the pennies between my brother and me.

“One for you, one for me,” I would the words until the jar was empty. I don’t remember how much we collected on our and the amount(数量) wasn’t important at all. It was the idea that she remembered us and cared about us moved me. Those of my childhood still give me warm feelings when I’m sad. I often wonder if I found a penny on the ground somewhere, could it possibly be Granny tossing(扔) me pennies from heaven?
