Subject:An Inquiry of the Alert Service
Good afternoon,
I am writing to request more information on your new Automated Alert Service,as advertised on your Website.I have had both personal and commercial accounts with Citizens'Bank for many years.Often,I find it necessary to move money between accounts.Because of this,it is vital that I keep a close eye on the cash flow of all of my accounts,to assure that their balances stay above the required minimums.Therefore,I have been searching for an economical means of keeping better track of my finances.I was considering purchasing software for this purpose,but I think that your new service might be a convenient alternative.
My first question concerns the timeliness of the notifications.When you say"instantly",does that relate only to banking hours?For example,if my wife were to use our debit card (借记卡)on a Sunday afternoon to make a transfer (转账) at an ATM,would I be informed via email instantly or on Monday morning?My second question is in regard to the information available in this service.Is it possible to be aware of any information in my monthly bank statement,such as interest on my savings account?Finally,I would like to know the cost of this service.Please send me this information as soon as possible.If necessary,you can contact me in the evenings at 225-782-0902.

5.Have you ever experienced a natural disaster?The three people share their personal experiences with us?
A flood(洪水) hit our village.
When I was about 14 years old,I lived in Surathanee,the south part of Thailand.A flood hit our village after a rainstorm.The roads were flooded with a lot of water.My family and I worked hard to find things to control the flow of the water.People who lived near the river had to climb up to the roof of their houses.
The flood caused damage to us.For example,my father's rubber(橡胶) business was damaged because his rubber got wet.Besides,many houses were destroyed.
------Anotai Udomwittayakra from ThailandThe hurricane(飓风) was a nightmare.
This story took place about seven years ago.At that time I was only eleven years old,but I could remember it clearly.
During that week,we had to face the most powerful hurricane.I could still hear the noise of the wind blowing on the windows that were shaking.Outside,everything was flying or moving…cars,bikes,trees,and plastic bags.During the whole week,we were not able to go out.All the roads were cut off,and we didn't have running water or communication.Under those conditions,the hardest part was having no contract with the rest of my family living around the island.
---Kevin Parfait from MartiniqueIt was really an earthquake.
One day my friends and I were celebrating our last day in high school at a friend's.When we were all in the pool,I felt dizzy(眩晕的).A few minutes later,my friend said,"It's an earthquake."

3.My grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not.They had a simple saying hanging on their living-room wall:"Life is like a field of newly fallen snow.Where I choose to walk every step will show."They didn't have to talk about it; they showed this truth by the way they lived.
They understood that honesty is an inner(内部的) standard for judging your behavior.Unfortunately,honesty is in short supply today.But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline (自制能力) we must demand of ourselves.
There's a story told about a surgical nurse's first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital.She was responsible(负责) for all surgical instruments and materials during an operation.At the end of the operation,the nurse said to the doctor,"You've only removed 11sponges(海绵),and we used 12.We need to find the last one."
"I removed them all,"the doctor assured her."No,you didn't,sir,"insisted the nurse."Think of the patient."
Smiling,the doctor lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge.
So when you know you're right,you can't yield.Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.
Self-respect and a clear awareness (意识)of right and wrong are powerful parts of honesty and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.Honesty means you do what you do because it's right and not just fashionable or politically correct.A life of principle,of not easily yielding,will always take you forward.My grandparents taught me that.

32.From the first two paragraphs,we can infer thatC.
A.the author's grandparents liked snow
B.the author's grandparents didn't like chatting
C.the author is worried about the issue of honesty in today's society
D.Honesty is the most important standard for judging one's behavior
33.The nurse insisted there was still a sponge becauseB
A.she saw the doctor hide the twelfth sponge
B.she believed she was right
C.she thought the doctor was not responsible
D.she knew the patient well
34.What does the underlined word"yield"mean in the text?B
A.admit        B.give in         C.stop         D.look forward
35.How does the text mainly develop?A
A.By providing an example of honesty.
B.By making a comparison between honesty and dishonesty.
C.By explaining the author's grandparents'belief in detail.
D.By following the order of importance.
4.The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean,so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever.He sent his camera crew(员工) out one evening to film the sunset for him.
The next morning he said to the men,"Have you provided me with that sunset?"
"No,sir,"the men answered.
The director was angry."Why not?"he asked.
"Well,sir,"one of the men answered,"we're on the east coast here,and the sun sets in the west.We can get you a sunrise over the sea,if necessary,but not a sunset."
"But I want a sunset!"the director shouted."Go to the airport,take the next flight to the west coast,and get one."
But then a young secretary had an idea."Why don't you photograph a sunrise,"she suggested,"and then play it backwards?Then it'll look like a sunset."
"That's a very good idea!"the director said.Then he turned to the camera crew and said,"Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea."
The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay.Then at nine o'clock they took it to the director."Here it is,sir,"they said,and gave it to him.He was very pleased.
They all went into the studio."All right,"the director explained,"now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye.Run the film backwards so that we can see the‘sunset'behind them."
The"sunset"began,but after a qurter of a minute,the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.
The birds in the film were flying backwards,and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.

28.One evening,the director sent his camera crew outA.
A.to film a scene on the sea
B.to find an actor and an actress
C.to watch a beautiful sunset
D.to meet the audience
29.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?C
A.Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.
B.Because he was angry with his crew.

B.as he saw everything in the film moving backwards
