       My grandparents can be good fun. They are retired ,so they don’t work anymore .My grandfather is 68 and my grandmother is 67, but they are not too old to be active. They exercise by playing golf and they go out for meals and to the theater .Sometimes they take me out too. We have a good time. They also go on great holidays .Last year ,they went to China and walked along the Great Wall!

       Sometimes, my grandparents like to criticize me. They think that children today have an easy life. Life was very different when they were young and there are many things about my life that they do not understand. They tell me , over and over , how they had to start work at 16. They know that I will go on to university and won’t be getting a job until I am about 22! They also think that I have too many possessions（财产）, such as mobile phones ,computers and PSPs. When they were young, they did not have anything like that. What they do not realize is that they cannot compare children at present time. They had the same kinds of things as the rest of people of their age―so do I .It would be very strange if I only had the possessions that they had when they were my age.

Dear Editor,

       I’m confused these days. We are taught at home and at school that violence（暴力）is bad. For example ,last week, my friend and I were playing at the beach .We found a really beautiful shell. My friend picked it up ,but I saw it first ,and I said it was mine. He said ,no, it was his. I really want the shell ,and I even thought about hitting him ,that’s how angry I was.

       Now should that be right? No ! I shouldn’t use violence. I should talk with my friend instead, and solve that. My parents and teachers often tell me that using violence is the least civilized（文明）way to solve problems.

       So ,if adults had a disagreement ,and if they used violence toward each other in order to win, is it all right ? No!

       Now ,I’m confused. When two countries disagree, they often use violence. They fight a war. Using violence is not okey at home, at school, or in your country but okey between two countries, why?

       A war is extreme violence. So not only soldiers but citizens（公民）, including small children and babies have been killed and injured because of wars.

       Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace .But can you really “make peace” by using violence and killing so many people?

       I don’t think that bombs and missiles（炸弹和导弹）can reach people’s hearts and change them. Bombs and missiles can’t create love and caring ,and that’s what we need in the world. Why can’t they use their wisdom（智慧）and talk it over?

46．What happened to Joshua and his friend last week at the beach?

       A．They had a fight.                          B．Joshua hit his friend.

       C．They had a class about violence.     D．They found a beautiful shell

47．How should we solve problems according to this letter?

       A．We should argue about the problems     

       B．We should study at school.

       C．We should use our wisdom and talk them over.

       D．We should use violence.

48．Which opinion is mentioned in the letter?

       A．Violence can solve the problems.

       B．We should fight wars.

       C．A war is extreme violence.

       D．Bombs and missiles can reach people’s hearts.

49．What does the sentence “Bombs and missiles can’t create love and caring ,and that’s what we need in the world.” mean?

       A．We need to use violence to solve problems.

       B．What we need is bombs and missiles.

       C．We need bombs and missiles to create love and caring.

       D．What we need in the world is love and caring.

50．What’s the letter about? It’s about       .

       A．Joshua’s thoughts about wars         B．Joshua’s story

       C．hate and love                                D．arguments
