| A letter to the editor(编辑) |
13 October
Dear Editor,
I am writing to ask what has happened to the young. They are not as polite, hardworking or clever as my generation(一代人). I'll give you an example.
Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. it was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers(青少年) sitting on the seats near me. I don't know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They slowly did so but gave me an impolite look. I took off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn't follow me.
I worried about the future of our country. How could these young people become responsible (有责任心的)workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after School instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this "lost generation ".

| A reply to Mr. Johnson's letter |
20 October
Dear Editor,
I read Mr. Johnson’s letter about the problem of today’s young people with much interest.
He described teenagers on a train not giving seat to a pregnant woman and her daughter. I was the woman. We must have seen things differently. I found the teenagers helpful and kind. Did Mr.
Johnson see the teenagers help me off the train? Did he see them carry me shopping bags to a taxi for me? Did he see them friendly to my daughter? Obviously(明显地) not.
"Older" people often say today's youth isn't as good as their generation. Their parents said that about them. Mr Johnson must accept(接受.) that the world is changing and young people are changing with it. I find today's young people are changing with it. I found today's young people mostly kind and more fun than my generation.
Perhaps Mr. Johnson should really try to get to know some young people before he calls them the "lost generation".

查看习题详情和答案>>阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、C、E、和F)中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项．选项中有一项是多余选项．
The people below are all willing to offer help to those who needs help．After the description of these people, there is information about six voluntary jobs(A-F)．Decide which place would be most suitable for the person(s)mentioned in questions 61-65 and then mark the correct number on your answer sheet．There is one extra paragraph about one job which you don’t need to use．
1．________ Stephen：Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy(文化知识)volunteer．When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading．
2．________ Ben：After graduation, I don’t want to apply for a job at once．Instead, I plan to spend one year to help those who need help most and try my best to improve their lives．You know, education is essential to poverty relief and at the same time I’ll get valuable experience for my future career．
3．________ Susan：I’m a girl from England and has studied French for years．I’m here in Beijing University studying Chinese．I like China as it is full of mysteries．So I hope the voluntary work will help me to get in touch with Chinese people and get to know about China．Although my study is busy, I can be free at night and at the weekends．
4．________ Tim：Since I myself have overcome a lot of difficulties in my life, I understand young people’s problems and I know how to listen patiently to others and offer some advice．I’m working now in the daytime so I can only spend two to three hours a day at night to help others．
5．________ Lisa：I burst into tears when I saw those children in a TV programme．What a sight．They are only bone and skin left．What’s worse, every day the children are dying because of lack of food．I realized how lucky I am with enough food and a good chance to get education．The summer vacation is coming and I hope I can do something for them．
A．As we know, the 2008 Olympic Games will be held in Beijing and many people from other countries will come to visit China．The taxi drivers in Dongfeng Taxi Company think the way to show kindness is to be able to greet the foreigners in their languages．They need someone who can teach them languages and the best time is at night when they are not so busy．
B．Tim is so addicted to on-line games that he cannot concentrate on his study like before．Now he often misses school in order to play games, and tells lies to his teachers and parents again and again．Though he realizes what he does is wrong, he just can’t stop it．How badly he needs someone’s help．
C．Marie, a 44-year-old single mother of three, has to walk two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she doesn’t know which bus to take．What’s worse, since she does not know words, she can not write out a shopping list．Also, she can only recognize items by sight, so if the product has a different label, she will not recognize it as the product she wants．
D．“Helping hand” organization will hold an event to help the starving children in Africa．The event starts in August and those taking part in will go without food for 30 hours．In this way, it is expected that money will be raised for the poor children．
E．“Green Earth” cares a lot for the animals in danger．Still many people in the world don’t know much about the importance of animal protecting．This summer vacation a lot of events will be organized to call on people to live in harmony with our earth．
F．A group of young children in a remote village in southwest China are in great need of teachers．Because of the low salary, many teachers came and then went．The villagers hope to have a teacher who can stay for at least a year, because they know knowledge can make a difference to the children’s future．
