【答案】Dear Peter,

I am writing to you in the hope that I can get your help concerning the English Reading Festival held in February on my campus. In the activity every student is expected to read at least one English book and write a review on it.

We are what we read. We intend, through this activity, to expose students to great minds and exotic culture. Given that a variety of English books flood into China and we are less informed of these books, I wish that you could recommend some bestsellers in your country.

As a native speaker, you musts have some good suggestions about English reading. I’d appreciate it if you could give some advice.

Looking forward to your early reply!

Yours truly,

Li Hua

【题目】Most people know that chocolate is made from cocoa and that the origins of chocolate can be traced back to Central and South America. 1 But how did chocolate go from being the food of the gods to being the food of love?

2 They established the first cocoa plantation and used the cocoa beans as the main ingredient in a dark,bitter drink that we would call “chocolate”. The Mayas believed that chocolate had mystical properties.3 In fact,cocoa beans were used as a form of currency that was worth its weight in gold.

Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez was the first European explorer to realize cocoa’s commercial possibilities.4 In 1529,Cortez returned Spain and introduced chocolate—as a drink mixed with sugar,vanilla,and cinnamon—to European society.

It caught on,especially with the nobility. As its popularity spread,people found new ways to make and use chocolate.5 Whether it is in delectable desserts or crunchy candy,people all over the world are still in love with chocolate.

A.But cocoa also had commercial value.

B.But not all the people all over the world love cocoa.

C.For centuries,the native there regarded cocoa as a gift from the gods.

D.When he arrived in the New World in 1519,he soon established his own cocoa plantation.

E.Around A.D.600,the Mayas were the main aboriginal group in Central America.

F.These days,chocolate is enjoyed as both a tasty treat and a romantic indulgence.

【题目】A volunteering vacation can be a meaningful way to spend your time off, but to make the trip satisfying both for you and the cause you are supporting, several factors need to be considered. Here is some advice on planning the ideal vacation:

1 There are hundreds of causes to volunteer for, and finding one close to your heart will lead to a more worthwhile trip. Possibilities include wildlife conservation, education, environmental protection, health and nutrition. Also, consider any personal and professional skills that you can contribute. 2

Choose your destination and setting. Your volunteering trip will be more enjoyable if you use it to reach a favorite destination. If Southeast Asia is on your mind, helping with tree-planting programs in Bali would benefit the environment and let you appreciate the scenic island. 3

Is volunteering outdoors in a hot or snowy climate appealing, or do you prefer being in an air-conditioned office?

Ask the right questions. 4 Be aware that most volunteering programs require a weeklong commitment. Ask other questions like: How many hours of work per day is required? Are there days off? Will you be working individually or as part of a team? And what are the goals of your efforts? 5 Ask if the cost includes only accommodations or meals and transportation too.

A. Figure out your cause.

B. Find a well-respected organization.

C. And think about the surroundings you want.

D. Your duty there is to help, as well as to rest and relax.

E. The more you know about your trip, the more successful it will be.

F. Despite the word “volunteer”, these vacations usually cost you some money.

G. If you’re a doctor, for example, working at a health clinic could be an ideal fit.
