Hi Eric,
　　We don’t have smog in Oxford. We get fog sometimes, but that’s all. Oxford is much smaller than LA. We only have about 135,000 people. I looked up the 1900 population, it was about 57,000. So it is about twice as many people, not ten times as many, like LA! Oxford is much smaller than London - London has about 7,000,000 people. So that means that LA has more people than London. LA gets hotter than Oxford. We have colder winters too – it can be -4°C in winter.
　　I’m not surprised that your new student only knew about the university. It is famous because it is one of the oldest universities in the country. There are about 18,000 students. The brother of my best friend is at Aberystwyth University, in Wales. There the population is 14,000 and half of that are students! It must be a strange place to live! There are more tourists in Oxford than students, I should think. We get a lot of tourists, all year round. We also get a lot of young foreign students because there are a lot of language schools here. You can stand in the middle of Oxford, close your eyes, and hear accents from all over the world!
　　Your e-mail friend, Ben

One morning, an old woman carrying a big basket of cabbages on her head to the market. She hoped to 　1 them to the people from town.

The mountain road was narrow（窄的）and the old woman was walking 　 2　 , because she did not want to have 　 3　 and lose her cabbages.

Suddenly she 　 4 a loud bell , and a bicycle came round the corner. It passed her and went very fast 　5 the hill. The old woman had to jump to one side of the 　6 so quickly that the basket of cabbages nearly fell into the valley（山谷）.

She looked up, and saw that a young boy was on the bicycle. He was 　7 on without even looking round to see 　8 the old woman was all right.

The old woman began to shout,“Come back, young man! You dropped something!”

When he heard this , the boy stopped the bicycle so suddenly that he 　 9 fell off . Then he turned and began to 　 10 the bicycle back up to the hill. “What is it?”he asked.“What did I drop?”“Little boy,”the old woman answered,“you dropped our manners（礼貌）.”
