四、阅读理解
Dear Mr Scott,
I expect you may be slightly surprised to receive a letter from your next-door neighbour, but I have to raise a theme that it will be easier for me to discuss in writing.
You may have noticed that I have a line of apple trees running along the fence (棚栏) that separates our two gardens. You may also have felt happy when you see your two children sitting on your grass by the fence. And you may also have noticed that my apple trees bend over the fence and seem to look down at your children with interest.
It is only natural that your children should sometimes seem to return that interest. And it is quite legal (合法的)for them to show that interest by picking all the apples that hang over on your side of the fence. But to tell you the truth, Mr Scott, I am tired of seeing your children, day after day, destroy the branches of every one of my apple trees. And it seems that a war has been fought on one side of my apple trees. Besides, I am more tired of waking up on these fine autumn mornings to find even the apples on MY side of the fence much less in number. I know this too is the work of your children, since last night I was woken at midnight by the noise they were making when climbing one of my trees, and (as they may have told you) I drove them away.
Yours sincerely,
Becky Aldrin

答案以及解析
