Mr Jones has a newsagent. He has very good business these days. So he’d like to hire (雇用)a boy to send newspapers for him. It would be a good thing if the boy has a bike. He needs the boy to work from six thirty to eight o’clock in the morning. He has to work from Monday to Saturday. So the boy needs to get up early almost every day. It will be a little hard. But the good thing about it is the boy can get 5 pounds every day. If you are interested in this job, please call Mr Jones at 555-8729.

        Most people   1  (喜欢) to eat sweets and ice-cream better than meat and rice. If we eat them    2   (在┉之后) a meal, they are not bad for us. But if we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is    3 （重要）for us to eat our meal regularly each day. When we feel    4  （担心的）or    5  （兴奋的）we may not want to eat.

        When a man is worrying   6 （关于）something, it is difficult for him to swallow anything dry because he has little appetite. Many years   7（以前）,some judges in    8  （英国）often gave a man some dry bread to judge whether he was telling the truth. If the man    9  （能）not swallow the bread, they   10   (认为) he was telling lies.

Dear Sir,

      I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route (路线): the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.

     The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?

The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?

The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.

It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done make your service (服务) better?

                                                             Yours,

                                                       Tired passenger
