16．Dear Mr．Wilson，
I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service，but what happened last Sunday made me very angry．It was my son's birthday so we booked a non-smoking table for 7：30p．m．We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready．At 8：00p．m．，we were given a table in the smoking area．A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy．
Our first waitress，Janet，was very polite．She gave us free drinks for waiting so long．My wife ordered some fried noodles．When she had eaten most of her meal，she found a dead insect in her noodles．She felt sick and wanted to leave．The waitress said sorry and took the food away．I asked for the bill，hoping not to pay for my wife's meal．Nobody came．After 15minutes，I asked to see the manager（经理）．The headwaiter told us that you were on holiday．I complained（抱怨）again about the terrible insect．He told me Janet had finished work．He didn't believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals including my wife's．I argued with him but had to pay in the end．
The waitress，Janet，was always friendly，but I would like the impolite headwaiter to say sorry to me．I also want the payment for our meal given back．It cost 68．
You can call me at 742-3254if you want more information．Thank you for your attention．
Yours Sincerely，
Nick Bell

London has a new magazine．But it is not printed on paper．Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV
In order to read this magazine，you have to have a decoder（解码器）．Each page of it is numberes，so you only have to dial（拨号）the number to choose which subject you want to read about．There are all kinds of information一everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news．
If you want to read the news，the first thing you have to do is to turn to the back page，which has an easy-to-remember page number，100，for example．Then you start choosing what you want to read．The news is on page 101to 109，so you put in the numbers and the news appears written across your screen．Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon，so you press 181，and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen．But the weather is terrible，so you decide to go shopping and dial 162for a list of the week's best bargains（廉价商品）．But should you drive or take the train？To answer that question，you only have to press 189for the traffic report．It is very simple to use．But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated（更新）all the time．Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and all the pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes．
London already has three services．One，sent out by TV，is called ORACLE while the other two，on BBC，are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts．Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time，they have not been well publicized（宣传）．BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere．But many people would agree that is a breakthrough（突破）as great as the invention of printing，which could not just change our reading habits but our whole way of life．

On March 14，math and science lovers around the world celebrated a special day：Pi Day．
Pi is equal to about 3.14，but the number goes on endlessly．It is sometimes written in Greek，π．With the help of computers，mathematicians have been able to calculate（计算） pi out to over a trillion （万亿） decimal （小数的） places，but there is still no end to the number．This makes pi puzzling，even for the most famous scientists and mathematicians．
Pi Day is celebrated around the world on March 14，since how we write this date，3/14，looks just like the number pi．
For some people，the appeal（感染力） of Pi Day goes far beyond math and science．Pi shows up throughout popular culture．You can see it in movies，comics，music and more．"In modern movies，any time the filmmaker wants to produce a sense of mystery（神秘），often the symbol pi is used，"says David Blatner，Jewish American writer of The Joy of Pi．
People also love trying to memorize the digits （数字） of pi and competing against others to see who can remember the most．Many teachers hold class contests to see how many numbers their students can memorize．The Guinness World Record for reciting the most digits of pi is held by Lü Chao of China，who successfully recited pi out to nearly 67，890decimal places．
Above all，Pi Day is about having fun with the number．People celebrate Pi Day by eating or throwing pie and with fun pi-related games and activities．This year，Princeton，New Jersey，held a birthday party for Albert Einstein whose birthday also falls on March 14．There was also a"Walk a Pi Event"where people walked 3.14miles together．Just like the number itself，the possibilities for Pi Day are truly endless．

9．As one of the most well-known of the fantasy languages invented for science fiction film，television and book，and developed by J．R．R．Tolkien himself，Elvish is made up with several thousand words and different sentence structures．
Constructed languages （人造语言） like Elvish are real languages，madeup of thousands of words created by fantasy writers，linguists and fans，with real language rules．While a
widespread vocabulary is advantageous to a constructed language，there is a key differentiator （区分者） we can see between just a lot of words and real language：Grammar．
Grammar is what makes constructed languages like Elvish learnable by everyday superfans．Superfans of The Lord of the Rings have built websites and created dictionaries，apps and translators，to teach Elvish．They have also created online clubs where fans can discuss and even create new words based on the already existing vocabulary，and continue to study the language．
So what does it take to be a master of Elvish？
In learning Elvish，there are a couple of grammatical rules similar to those of the English language．For example，in order to make a verb past tense in English，you have to add an-ed，makingwash，washed．Similarly in Elvish，in order to change the word for wash，which is allu，to the past tense then you have to add an-ne to the word．So washed is then translated to allune in past tense．
Nouns in Elvish are different in the way that the noun changes depending on how it's used in a sentence，just like in Latin or Russian．For example，the word head in Elvish is CAS．However，if you duck your head，then the word changes to CARA．When mentioningsomething in your head，then it changes to CASSE．Tolkien's attention to detail in creating the fantasy world used in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit，complete with multiple functioning （多功能的） invented languages，has attracted readers and movie viewers these years．
Elvish is only one of the many magical languages developed by J．R．R．Tolkien．Creating language for fantasy has proven to add to viewers and readers experiences．By transplanting their imagination to a new world，fans are able to learn the new language and speak Elvish with each other，much like their favorite characters．
52．Elvish is considered a real language becauseA．
A．certain grammatical rules make the language learnable
B．it is made up with lots of words and sentence structures

54．Which of the following is TRUE about Elvish？D
A．The translation of"washed"in Elvish is"allu"．
B．The form of a noun doesn't change in Elvish．
C．Elvish and English share the same grammar．
D．Elvish is also used in the filmThe Hobbit．

8．Do you have imagination？Do you like to solve problems？Can you think out of the box？If so，you could be the next great inventor．"But I'm just a kid，"you might say!Don't worry about a little thing like age．Some of the greatest inventors in the world get their start as kids．
For example，Benjamin Franklin created paddles （桨） for his hands to help him swim faster when he was only 12 years old．His creation led to today's flippers （橡胶蹼）!
You don't have to be an adult，a scientist or a genius （天才） to be an inventor．One thing you need is：curiosity and imagination．Kids are known for looking at things in new and uniqueways．Sometimes their understanding of things leads to great inventions!
Sometimes inventors come up with completely new things that solve a problem．At other times new inventions are only things that are changed or improved．Then they work better or serve a different purpose．
So what should you do if you have a great idea for an invention？Talk to a friend of family member about it．Ask them to help you create a working model of your idea．
Once you have a working model，you should test it．Sometimes after the test，you may find your idea is not as great as you thought．At other times you realize it is a good idea and your working model can help you work out how to make it better．
If you need some ideas，consider these kids and their inventions：
Frank Epperson invented Popsicles （冰棍） when he was 11．One night he mixed soda powder （苏打粉） and water with a stick．He left it outside all night．The next morning，he found that the stick had frozen （冻结） inside the drink during the cold night．
Chester Greenwood created earmuffs （耳罩） when he was 15．He found his ears got painfully cold when he was skating．He decided to solve the problem．He found a piece of wire （电线），and his grandma helped him pad （用软物填塞） the ends．
At the age of 15，Louis Braille invented the system that allowed blind people to read．
