Subject：Bonjour!
Bonjour!（That means hello in French．）
     We hope you all had a great summer．Ours was a lot of fun．We have seen so many new things and met so many wonderful people．The Frenchgave us a warm welcome and helped us get used to living here soon．We have so many things to share with all of you．We are going to send you more emails，but here are the best parts of our holiday in France so far．
      We had a fantastic time seeing the Tour de France this summer．It is the most famous bicycle race in the world．The riders travel more than two thousand miles in about a month!We got a quick look at the riders as they sped past!After the race，our family rented bikes，and rode along part of the route that the cyclists used．
      A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails（蜗牛）．The answer is yes．We went out to dinner the other day，and our parents ordered some．We each tried one and it didn't taste too bad．The snails，called escargots，are served with lots of butter．They feel a little rubbery when you bite into them，but they don't really have much taste．Mum's favourite food here is the French pastries．Dad loves the red wine．Our favourite is the fresh bread from the shop down the street．
     We went to visit the EiffelTower a few weeks ago．We went all the way to the top．It was a sunny day，so we could see for miles and miles into the distance．Dad doesn't like heights，so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground．
     We miss all of you a lot．Write back to us and let us know what is new at home．
Au revoir!（Can you guess what that means in French？）
Wendy and Jack Brown

12．阅读短文，再在其后空白出写出各单词的正确形式．单词的第一个字母已给出．
I want to buy a pair of sports shoes for a long time．I had spend months saving up the money to buy them and I finally had （76）enough．Last Saturday my friend Jake wanted to buy a new CD，so we
decided to go shopping together．
We took the bus into town and it was very（77）crowed，so we had to stand all the way．Jake and I were talking when I suddenly （78）noticed that my bag was open and my purse had gone!The bus
had just stopped and there was a boy near me who was going quickly towards the door．We
thought he had stolen my money so we got off the bus and（79）followed him．The boy started running and then Jake ran after him shouting"Stop!（80）Thief!"It was like a scene out of a film!A policeman saw what was going on and managed to get the boy．
The embarrassing thing was that when the policeman （81）searched the boy，he didn't have mypurse!He probably thrown it away before he was caught．The boy said we had made a mistake and we shouldn't blame（指责）him for the stolen purse．He explained that he had （82）only started running because he was late for a meeting with friends．The policeman（83）allowed him to go and I felt really stupid．I don't know whether he stole my purse or not as there was no proof（证据）．I wish I hadn't been so careless and had kept an （84）eye on my bag!
I've lost my front door key and 60pounds．I'm really fed up．Jake offered to lend me the money to buy the sports shoes，but I don't think it's（85）fine to take it．It isn't his fault（过失）that I had my purse stolen!
