（A）
The summer vacation is a time to enjoy a change from the school year. It's a good chance to work on different activities that you don't have enough time to do during the rest of the year.
We asked 2,000 people about what they would do during the summer vacation. Most of the survey-takers agreed that the summer vacation was a break from homework and they could relax.
Alexis said, "At school I'm really tired, so during the summer vacation I can read books and do many outdoor activities."
Amy is in high school. After school, she sometimes works in a cafe. She told us, "It's a chance to relax after a hard school year —sleep more and visit my friends more."
We also asked them if they would be too busy or kind of bored. About half (52%) of the survey-takers said they would be busy during the summer vacation but still have time to relax. And that is exactly how it should be.
But not everyone said their summer vacation would be the right balance (平衡) between being busy and relaxing. Many thought that they would be too bored.
How bored or busy people feel during the summer vacation depends on how old they are. Survey-takers in their early teens were likely (可能的) to be bored. Among them, 40% said they would be bored and only 10% thought they would be too busy.
( )1.What does the underlined word "survey-takers" in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese

Dear Bernie,
I'm having a fantastic time visiting London. But first I'd like to tell you something about my journey. The flight (航程) was comfortable and fast. I arrived in London at midnight (午夜). I had dinner on the plane. I also watched an action movie on it. But the screen was very small and the sound was very bad. So I didn't enjoy it and didn't watch it to the end.
Also, I would like to tell you something about the man who sat next to me on the plane. He likes taking pictures very much and showed me a lot of his pictures. He is good at taking pictures for animals and I think he knows all about them. He also taught me a few skills.
Yesterday I went to visit my brother who is studying in London. He took me to one of the most famous theatres. We bought tickets for seats in the stalls (正厅前排座位) because I wanted to see the actors clearly and hear their voices. In the afternoon, we went to a bookstore near his school and I bought your favourite book for you.
I'll return to New York on 13th August. See you.
Yours,
Bob
