附加题（共10 分）
Roberta Smoughton’s birthday is less common than others’. She was born (出生) over 24 years ago but she has only had six “real” birthdays. Roberta is a leaper — someone born on February 29th. This date (日期) only appears every four years. “At eight, I started to understand why my birthday was different. My mom told me to choose a day to celebrate: February 28th or March 1st. Of course, I decided to celebrate on the earlier date because I wanted my gifts earlier,” she laughed.
Rod Marsden is another leaper. “When it isn’t a leap year, I start to celebrate on February 28th and finish on March 1st. I love being a leaper!” he said.
Graham Gartside is not quite as positive as Rod. “It sometimes makes me angry,” he said. “For example, two years ago, a teacher wouldn’t let me bring a cake to school because she said I didn’t have a birthday that year.”
Alexis Doyle is different. “Every leap year I rent a restaurant for the evening, have a big party and invite everyone I know. It’s become a tradition and everyone makes me feel really special for the day,” Alexis said.
Alexis didn’t want to tell me her real age but she gave me a clue (提示). “At my next party there will be ten candles on the cake,” she said.

Ⅻ. One possible version:
Dear Sam,
I’m sorry to hear that your parents refuse to let you talk with your friends on the phone. I understand how you feel and I hope I have some good advice for you.
Firstly, you should try to explain to them that your friends are important to you instead of arguing with your parents. Secondly, you should tell your parents that you need a short break after busy study. And it won’t make much difference to your schoolwork, so they don’t need to worry. Finally, you should let them know that your friends are of the same age as you and you two have the same problems and worries to discuss.
I’m sure it will all work out and they will show understanding.
Good luck!
Yours truly,
Ms. Jones
