And there were always too many people on the bus, so my grandma and I had to stand all the way to the kindergarten.

And we ha to climb up the stairs to the sixth floor. Life at home and in the kindergarten was happy, but the journeys between home and the kindergarten were really terrible
Things have become much better now. The roads in the city are smooth and wide. New buses with comfortable seats and air conditioners go everywhere. There's also a light rail near my home.

There is little room for handwriting in today's modern world as most people usually use smart phones and computers to reach others. A report by the Museum of Family Letters shows that only7% of 1, 220 people from our country write letters to their family members. A worker in the museum said,“The art of letter writing has been outdated(过时的)since the 1990s. However, it can help people better communicate with others.
Named after the famous writer Fu Lei, Fu Lei Middle School in Shanghai holds classes to encourage students to read the book Fu Lei's Family Letters. “They can help students learn the meaning of letter writing and make them build strong and healthy relationships(关系)with their family in a good communication way,”Fu Guoqing, the school's headmaster, said. The school also asks students to write letters to their parents after classes.
Feng Jia, a teacher at Fu Lei Middle School, took a girl in her class as an example. In a letter, the girl wrote that her parents hit her for the first time when they were discussing if sheshould continue her hobby of drawing. They wanted her to give it up because of schoolwork, but she didn't want to. “The words she used were hurtful," said Feng. A few days later, when Feng discussed the letter with the girl, she said she had given her parents another one. That was because when she finished the first one, she realized it would make them sad. After reading the second letter, the parents understood their daughter better.
“This is the magic of the handwritten letter,”Feng said. “Although it is outdated, it's of great value(价值)。”
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 1
A. People nowadays don't write letters to keep in touch with others.

C. The readers of Fu Lei's Family Letters D. The ways to talk with parents
8. Why does the writer talk about the girl in Fu Lei Middle School
A. To describe how much the girl loves drawing
B. To tell readers the magic of letter writing.
C. To ask readers to write letters to their family.
D. To encourage renders never to give up their hobbies or dreams like the girl.
9. What's the main idea of the passage
A. It is important for parents to write letters to their children.
B. Parents should often have a talk with their kids to know their true feelings.

九、One possible version:
Great changes have taken place in my hometown and people's lives over the past forty years.
In the past, there were narrow roads in the small town. The air was very fresh, and people had open spaces. Now, the streets are wide and clean with many green trees on both sides. There are lots of shops and sports centres, but the air is not as good as before.
Years ago, people lived in small old houses. In their free time, they used to listen to the radio on watch TV. But now many of them have moved into tall buildings, and they have many ways to have fun. They communicate with each other by emails, Internet or phones and so on.
In a word, people live better than before. However, the changes have also brought some problems. Local government should do something to improve the environment.
