Letter One

21 July, 2008

Dear Sirs,

　　Our foreman, Mr．Li Ming, had an accident on July 6, 2008．He crushed his forefinger when operating a machine．At that time, we didn’t think the accident was serious enough to report, but Mr．Li has returned to his work after an absence of two weeks and is still unable to carry on his normal duties．We therefore wish to make a claim(索赔)under the above policy(保险单)and shall appreciate your sending us the necessary claim form．

Yours faithfully,

(Signature)

Letter Two

27 July, 2008

Dear Sirs,

　　We have received your letter of July 21 and noted that you made a claim for the accident of Mr．Li Ming．We would, however, remind you of the terms of the policy that this claim should have been submitted within three days after the accident．More than two weeks have now passed．Consequently, your claim to compensation(赔偿)under the policy has been forfeited(放弃、没收)．

　　Nevertheless, as an exceptional measure, we have decided to overlook its late submission, though we are bound to say that it should have been clear from Mr．Li’s absence from work that this accident was more serious than you had supposed and that there seems to be no good reason why this claim should not have been made earlier．

　　We are enclosing(附上)a claim form as requested, but must emphasize that future claims cannot be entertained if you cannot comply with the terms of the policy．

Yours faithfully,

(Signature)

In July 19阅读理解upiter,the largest planet in our solar system,was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (彗星).When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet,the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth.But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?

The year is 2094.It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth.Most of it will miss our planet,but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth.The news has caused panic.

On 17July,a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a huge explosion.About half of the fragment is destroyed.But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound.The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads.The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour.Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.

Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth,but the north won't escape for long.Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosions.As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust,temperatures around the world fall to almost zero.Crops are ruined.Wars break out as countries fight for food.A year later civilization has collapsed.No more than 10 million people have survived.

Could it really happen?In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth.The dinosaurs (恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160 million years.Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared.Many scientists believe

that the Earth was hit by a space fragment.The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct.Will we meet the same end?
