Like most of my schoolmates, I have neither brothers nor

1．________

sistersin any other words, I am an only child. My parents

2．________

love me dearly of course and will do all they can make sure

3．________

that I get a good education. They did not want me to do

4．________

any work at family; they want me to devote all my time to

5．________

my studies so that I'll get good marks in all my subject. We

6．________

may be one family and live under a same roof, but we do

7．________

not seem to get much time to talk about together. It looks

8．________

as if my parents treat me as a visitor and a guest. Do they

9．________

really understand their own daughter? What things are in

10．________

other homes, I wonder.

　　The size and shape of your ears show your character much

1．________

than any other part of the face.

　　Reading people's character from their ears are an old science

2．________

In past, people thought that a person with big ears had a

3．________

well and pleasant character. They thought a person with pale

4．________

and small ears was dangerous. He also thought the shape of the ear

5．________

showed that whether a person was musical or not.

6．________

　　Ears are all different. Last time you look at a person, see if

7．________

his or her ears are red arid pale. Ears that are red mean that a

8．________

person may have high blood pressure. Ears that are

9．________

always cold and pale mean that a person has been a nervous

10．________

character. And a big hole inside the ear means that a person may be musical.

　　Dear Abby,

　　How are you? Today I've got a wonderful news to tell you.

1．________

I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my

2．________

further education. One hundred and twenty students took exam

3．________

for it, but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. However,

4．________

my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me

going there. They say it is too far away that they will not see me

6．________

for a whole year and they are afraid of I will feel lonely. They

7．________

can't imagine a girl so young live alone. They advise me to study

8．________

in the capital instead. Then I'll be able to continue living with

9．________

them. How can I persuade them to accept the fact I have grown up?

10．________

Best Wishes,

Jane

　　Like many boys, Mr. Jiang became interested in computers

1．________

at an early age through playing games on it. But unlike must other

2．________

boys, his interest grow into something more than just fun.

3．________

　　His interest in computers and networks have developed further

4．________

from since attending Nanjing University. Before that he

5．________

had set up a website and wrote some articles on computers. The

6．________

book, How to Become A DIY (Do It Yourself) Master-hand Quickly,

7．________

took him six months to write it. The book was so popular that it

8．________

was out of stack two months later. Not only do readers find

9．________

the book useful, it also helped Jiang to learn more. That is strong

10．________

interest and solid knowledge that backed him in his research.

　　While traveled to Paris on a bus, I became very sick.

1．________

A well-dressing man on the bus helped me greatly. He

2．________

took me off the bus, found out where the doctor's office,

3．________

and took me to there himself. The next day, he came to

4．________

visit me. I didn't speak French well, so I can't talk with

5．________

him very much. However, even if we couldn't talk, but

6．________

we could communicate. I communicated myself thanks

7．________

to his great kindness, and he communicated his concern

8．________

for my healthy. Through this experience I have learned

9．________

that communication can take place without much actual

10．________

language at all.

　　Dear Sir or Madam,

　　I see your advertisement in a student magazine and

1．________

I'm interesting to know more about your diving courses.

2．________

First of all, I should explain that although I can swim

3．________

I'm not very confident in the water. But you mentioned your

4．________

advertisement that your instructors are full qualified,

5．________

so I believe they'll able to teach someone like me to

6．________

dive. I have one week's holiday in the three week of June

7．________

and would like to know that if there's a course running at

8．________

that time. How much does a week's course worth? Finally,

9．________

if I decide to go ahead, are there any special equipment I

10．________

need to buy or is everything provided by your company?

　　I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,

Tom
