Dear Jenny,
We have been talking to each other mostly through e-mails. This time, I choose to write a letter instead, as I feel like writing English with a pen. When I write with a pen, it seems easier for me to express my thoughts and feelings.
It is almost a month since school started. I really like being in high school. It's exciting. There are so many new things to do and so many new friends to meet.
High school students in China live a busy but colourful life. We have to work hard for the National College Entrance Examinations, which will take place in less than three years.
Now I have a large group of friends. We take all of our classes together in the same classroom. It's good to have friends to study with because we can help each other. I'm pretty good at English, so many guys ask me for help with their English. I don't mind. After school we usually go to play sports for a little while. Sometimes we take a walk down the river or visit some bookstores. We have to be back for evening class by 7:30.
Among my classmates, there is one guy named Dazhi, whom I like most. I met him on the sports ground one afternoon. He was sitting alone, deep in thought. I went up to him and introduced myself. I learned from our talk that he is from the countryside some two hundred kilometers away from Shijiazhuang. Dazhi's fascinating life attracts me very much, because it has been very different from mine. As time goes on, I find we have many similar interests and hobbies. I think I can learn a lot from him. Being friends means learning from each other. Don't you think so?
I have invited Dazhi to come to my home for dinner this Sunday. I think we will have a good time together. We will have lots of things to share(分享)with each other. I am quite happy with this growing friendship. It has opened a door to many new experiences.
I must go back to class now.
Best wishes!
Yours friendly,
Li Ming

查看习题详情和答案>>I have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happen to be that unfairly treated member of society --- a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I am convinced the things are being run solely to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a deceptive (欺骗的) new motto for so-called “service” organizations --- Staff Before Service.
How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there were not enough staff on duty to man all the service grilles or checkout counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to hire cashiers and counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that uncovering all their cash registers at any one time would increase operating costs. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grilles to be occupied “at times when demand is low”.
It is the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is cut short. As for us guests, we just have to put up with it. There is also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been thrown out of their jobs in the interests of “efficiency” and replaced by coin-eating machines which offer everything from lager to laxatives (从贮藏啤酒到通便剂). Not to mention the tea-making kit in your room: a kettle with a mixed collection of tea bags, plastic milk boxes and lump sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I do not, especially when I am paying for “service”.
Can it be stopped, this worsening of service, this growing attitude that the customer is always a bore? I angrily hope so because it is happening, sadly, in all walks of life.
Our only hope is to hammer home our anger whenever and wherever we can and, if all else fails, bring back into practice that other, older slogan --- Take Our Deal Elsewhere.

When people become good at doing the things they like they find themselves.
Many young people are good at doing things they do not like, many other young people would like to do something at which they are not good. Also, many do not think they are good at anything, and do not know what they would like to do. None of them are happy.
It is impossible to decide whether one likes something until one has tried it. Trying something new is important.
Give each idea a fair chance. If you have decided to try out something new, also decided how long you will stick to it. Then you can make a fair decision.
The best thing to judge is not the final goal, but the work it takes you to reach that goal. Almost everybody would like to be highly skilled in something, but becoming highly skilled at anything calls for a great deal of time and effect.
Finding oneself means not only discovering what one is good at and what one likes; it also means discovering what one is not good at and does not like.
So trying something and failing can have its good side. It tells you that you are not fit for that particular area and should not use it as your goal.
1.None of the young people are happy because ________.
[ ]
A.they are good at doing things they are not fond of
B.they would like to do something they are not good at
C.they think they are good at nothing and do not know what they would like to do
D.of all the above
2.You can’t decide whether you like something ________.
[ ]
A.even if you have tried it
B.although you have tried it
C.before you have tried it
D.after it has been tried
3.It takes ________ to become good at something.
[ ]
A.time and money
B.a lot of time and work
C.a lot of work and rest
D.men and time
4.From this passage we know that to find oneself is ________.
[ ]
