Inviting the children to visit the new house. D. Expressing their regret for not being with their children. D An apple a day may poison children. Children who eat an apple or a pear a day may be exceedingthe pesticidesafety limit because of remains on the fruit, according to research. Using data of the British Department of Environment on pesticides on fruit collected from supermarkets.scientists thought that each day some children would get a poisonous level of pesticides. The research, published on Sunday, says the government repeatedly claims that the levels of pesticide are safe because, instead of measuring individual apples, researchers buy 10, crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe. This is the internationally agreed method of checking remains. But government figures show that the pesticide is not averagely spread across the batch, and one or two apples could contain 90% or more of the pesticide in the batch. It used mathematical modeling to measure exposure to pesticides for children aged between 18 months and four years old. The pesticides involved can destroy children’s hormones and some are suspected of causing cancer. The good news for British fruit growers is that samplesgrown in this country had lower residue level than imported fruit, so buying home-produced fruit will reduce the danger, said Emily Diaman, one of the Earth’s senior food researchers and one of the authors of the report.

Dear Jane, Barbara and Roger,

As you know, we’ve been looking for a new house for some time. Now that all our children have left home, we find that the house is too big for us. Also, since your father retired, there has been no reason for us to stay in this district. Although we like our neighbors, we’ve decided to move south for two reasons. First, the weather will suit us better, and second, we’ll be a little nearer to your Uncle George and Auntie Hilda. It will make visiting each other much simpler.

We stayed with your Uncle and Aunt last weekend and saw several houses. One of them sounded as if it were just what we wanted. The right number of rooms, a small garden, etc. When we saw it, we nearly died! It was in a terrible condition and would have cost a fortune to make it habitable. The roof and all the walls needed repairing and the whole inside redecorating. After that, we were very careful about believing details from the estate（房地产）agent. The next two that we saw were not much better, but the fourth house was exactly what we wanted. It was empty, so we’re going to move in immediately. We gave details of our house to the estate agent only last week, but it’s already been sold. We’ll put all your things in boxes and take them with us. You’ll have to sort them out, throwing away what you don’t want.

Can you all come next weekend? You can have a nice rest in the country. Telephone on Wednesday at the new number to let us know.

Lots of love,

Mum and Dad

P.S. Bring some old clothes, because between the rests, you’ll be sorting out your belongings and digging the garden!

65. What is implied in the sentence “When we saw it, we nearly died!”？

A. We were so excited because the house was exactly what we wanted.

B. The house was in such an unexpected poor condition that we were greatly disappointed.

C. We were puzzled when we saw the house.

D. We were so tired since we had been to several houses.

66. We understand from the passage that the estate agent _________.

A. lied about the exact condition of the house

B. did not have enough houses for them to choose from

C. persuaded them to buy a house in poor condition

D. could not understand their needs

67. The children were not supposed to__________.

A. help their parents move out of their old house B. bring some old clothes

C. sort out their belongings D. work in the garden

68. Which of the following is not a purpose in writing this letter?

A. Explaining to the children the reason for moving.

B. Informing the children that they will move to a new house.

C. Inviting the children to visit the new house.

D. Expressing their regret for not being with their children.

Dear Malia and Sasha,

　　I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have．But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart．I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey．

　　When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me－about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want．But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day．And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore．I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours．And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours．In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President：because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation．

　　I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential－schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them．I want them to have the chance to go to college－even if their parents aren't rich．And I want them to get good jobs：jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity．

　　I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer．And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other．

　　Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country－but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe．And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free－that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility．

　　That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something．

　　She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better－and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us．It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be．

　　I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had．Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much－although you do have that obligation．But because you have an obligation to yourself．Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential．

　　These are the things I want for you－to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world．And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have．That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure．

　　I am so proud of both of you．I love you more than you can ever know．And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House．

Love, Dad
