湖北省八校2013届高三第二次联考
Migrant workers are happier and more satisfied with their life than last year, but they still constantly feel lonely, isolated and looked down upon, according to a survey jointly released by Renmin University of China and bob.gzh.com, a job hunting website for migrant workers.
The survey polled 2,011 migrant workers in 20 cities among the website’s 7.2 million registered users.
Compared with the survey’s results last year, migrant workers are happier with their living standards, but the level of interpersonal relationships, social participation and status has dropped, the report stated.
Yue Shuangbao, 46, from Gansu province, has been working as a truck driver in Yulin, Shaanxi province for so long he cannot even remember the exact number of years.
“Life is really hard if I don’t work away from home,” Yue said.
His whole family depends on his income, which is 5,500 yuan ($ 880) per month, 500 yuan higher than last year.
“We can see that migrant workers’ wages are growing, that ‘s why they feel happier about life,” said Hu Ping, a professor of Psychology at Renmin University of China. “However, the social participation situation is not getting any better.”
The report said more than half of the polled migrant workers constantly have negative feelings, including loneliness, isolation, and worthlessness.
Yue said he was very homesick, but because visiting friends and family costs money, he remains alone.
“I miss my family all the time, but what can I do? My daughter and son are still in school, my parents are old and our family is useless. At least I earn more than if I stayed at home,” he said. “I have to do this to support my family.”
“We found that those who have a more active social life are generally happier than those who don’t,” said Li Jiuxin, CEO of job.gzh.com.
Around 30 percent of those polled said they would turn to an online network for help, the report also said.
36. Migrant workers are happier and more satisfied with their life than before mainly because __________.
A. the society gives them more care
B. they share the same voice as city residents
C. they can earn comparatively more money
D. their children enjoy better education now
37. The underlined word polled in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to __________.
A. questioned B. studied C. reported D. described
38. From this passage we might safely say that Yue Shuangbao is __________.
A. a cheerful and skillful driver B. a responsible and caring father
C. a mean and unsocial man D. a reliable but indecisive husband
39. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Migrant workers happier with life, but sense of isolation remains.
B. Homesickness, a common phenomenon among migrant workers.
C. Migrant workers’ dilemma: back home or far away from home.
D. What stops the migrant workers going back home?

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap.
On September 11th 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. "I promised you a gift, and here it is. " What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. "Don’t expect any presents this year." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. "If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough. " As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. "What? He's all right?" He hung up and shouted upstairs. " The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God.'" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happier. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I rushed downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!
40. What happened to the author on September 11 1958 ?
A．He got a baby brother. B．He got a Christmas gift.
C．He became four years old. D．He received a doll.
41.What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Impossible. B．Boring. C．Difficult. D．Fearful.
42. Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming?
A．Excitement. B．Happiness. C．Sadness. D．Disappointment.
43. What is the passage mainly about ?
A．A sad Christmas day. B．Life with a lovely baby.
C．A special Christmas gift. D．Memories of a happy family.

Although new laws have been passed in some American states to cut down on distracted(分心的) driving , many accidents and deaths were still related with it , especially using cell phones while driving . Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars . aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation’s anti-distracted-driving supporter , said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars.
“I think it will be done，”LaHood said。“I think the technology is there and I think you’re going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones．We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives．”
Also on Thursday , the transportation government started a new “Faces of Distracted Driving” video campaign that features people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers．The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed in crashes because of phoning or text messaging，and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks．
A driver is four times more likely to crash while using a mobile phone．More than 5，500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers，and another 500，000 were injured．LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving , hands-free or not．because it can really cause distraction．
Incidentally．a 1ot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving，even if the driver is using a hands-free device(装置)．But the research didn’t ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices。
44．The Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars because ．
A．there is no national laws to prevent the use of cell phones in cars
B．most drivers take no notice of American laws
C．using phones while driving has caused many accidents
D．cell phone technology needs to be developed
45．We can learn from the text that Ray LaHood ．
A．is in charge of the invention of the technology
B．thinks it’s easy and practical to invent the technology
C．thinks it’s unnecessary to use cell phone while driving
D．is strongly for the use of the technology in cars
46．The“Faces of Distracted Driving”video campaign aims to ．
A．find out the real drivers who caused the accidents
B．make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted driving
C．call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in cars
D．show that most of the victims in car crashes are children
47．In the last paragraph，the“mobile phone scramblers”are probably ．
A．a kind of disabling devices B．a kind of hands-free devices
C．a new kind of cell phones D．new devices to help text messaging
D

When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.
Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.
Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “You’re all going.”
On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 2003,
Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit the orphanages (孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. It’s now my dream to one day start a group of women’s clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.
48. Without Mr. Clark, the writer .
A. might have been put into prison B. might not have won the prize
C. might have joined a women’s club D. might not have moved to Atlanta
49. The Essential 55 is .
A. a show B. a speech C. a classroom rule D. a book
50. How many students’ names were finally drawn out of a hat by Mr. Clark?
A. None B. Three C. Fifty-five. D. All.
51. What can we learn in the short reading?
A. It was in Harlem that we saw The Phantom of the Opera for the first time.
B. Mr. Clark taught us not to talk with our mouths full, and we didn't.
C. Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year in Los Angeles.
D. In 2003, Mr. Clark moved to Atlanta, and he always kept in touch with us.

2013学年乐清市二中高三 10月月考
Below is a selection about how to make friends.
It’s nice to have friends. Sometimes you need one person to talk to. You can play games, hang out or even just talk on the phone. Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong, lasting friendships. Well, take your time, and don’t rush.
?Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests.
You don’t necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. But if you have something in common with them, it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities. Whatever your age and whatever your interests, there is an organization or a club for you. Social networking sites such as Facebook , Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them.
?Join a sports team.
As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. A sports team isn’t the only way. If you play instruments or sing ，try joining a band.
?Make small talk.
Keep the conversation light and cheery. Even if you’re complaining about something, make sure it’s something you’re both dissatisfied with, and emphasize the positive—how such a situation can be avoided in the future. Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 (30% talking, 70% listening) pattern during small talk when possible.
?Ask them out for lunch or coffee.
That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. A good way to extend yourself is to say: “Hey, well, I've got to go, but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that, let me give you my number or e-mail address.” This gives the person the opportunity to get in touch with you; they may or may not give you their information in return, but that’s fine. Maybe they don’t have time for new friends--don’t take it personally! Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend, and eventually somebody will get in touch.
?Be loyal(忠诚的）to a friend.
You've probably heard of fair-weather friends. They’re the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well ，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them. Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on ，be there. If your friends make a joke ，laugh with them. Never complain about a friend.
? Be a good listener.
Many people think that in order to be seen as ‘friend material’ they have to appear very interesting. Far more important than this ，however, is the ability to show that you’re interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them (their names, their likes and dislikes), ask questions about their interests, and just take the lime to learn more about them. You don’t want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation.
? Be trustworthy.
One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk about anything, even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world. The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets, so it’s no secret that you shouldn’t tell other people things that were told to you in confidence.
52. According to the given information, what quality do you need to have if you want to make friends?
A. Patience. B. Curiosity. C. Bravery. D. Humor.
53. Those who can enjoy a happy life together but it’s hard to go through hardness hand in hand are________
A. loyal friends B. close friends C. dishonest friends D. fair-weather friends
54. While having a conversation with your friends, you should avoid_______.
A. applying the 30/70 pattern B. talking too much about yourself
C. showing interest in their topics D. knowing more details about them
55. To be a reliable friend ，you'd better_______.
A. have some common interests with your friends
B. find something to complain about with your friends
C. keep the secrets that your friends have told you
D. exchange your personal information with your friends

How to Take Care of a Butterfly Cocoon
If you’re an elementary school science teacher or a mom of curious little kids, you might already know witnessing a caterpillar turning into a butterfly is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences that a young kid can have.
56 . Apart from letting your kids witness the change on themselves, it’s also a good idea to ground their experience with educational background. You could let the kids draw or take notes of their observations until the caterpillar finally transforms into a butterfly.
57 . Caterpillars spin cocoons for themselves using a silk-like substance coming from their bodies. The caterpillar attaches this cocoon to a leaf or twig and wraps its body around it. That’s why it’s best that you provide a hanging stick or branch where the cocoon could be attached to. The best way is to have the caterpillar live on an indoor plant.
Do not disturb the cocoon. Once the insect is inside the cocoon, there’s actually nothing else that needs to be done. The best way is to let everybody know that nobody should touch the cocoon; the butterfly is being “formed” inside and if anybody disturbs it, chances are she won’t be able to be formed properly. 58.
If the cocoon falls off its twig, don’t panic! The insect is still safe and it will still emerge as a butterfly soon enough. 59. Don’t attempt to put it back to its original place.
Know when the butterfly will emerge from the cocoon. The insect usually stays inside the cocoon for 10 to 14 days. The day just before the butterfly emerges, the cocoon will turn either dark, or very clear. Expect the butterfly to come out in the early morning, and be sure to have your kids at hand to witness this event! 60 .
Once the butterfly emerges and its wings become strong enough, the next part is to let her go out into the garden. Your kids will certainly appreciate the lesson on transformation, patience, and letting go. Good luck!
Know the process.
The best way is to leave it alone.
Help it come back to its place immediately.
This will happen very fast, so be ready.
Get it come out as quickly as possible.
It is a great opportunity to teach kids about patience.
Prepare the environment for the cocoon.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
We are glad to know that you are going to take over and rebuild Tourists’ Hotel. The people living in Xiangyang Residential Area (居民区) next to your hotel ask me to write to you about the problems we are facing. Our residential area is located next to your hotel. The traffic jams caused by cars and trucks coming into and out of the parking lot often result in inconveniences. And children also find it unsafe to go to school, which is opposite the hotel. We cannot put up with the noise from the karaoke hall any more. Dirty water from the kitchen flows into our courtyard and it smells terrible. All the people living here are looking forward to effective changes that you are going to bring about.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Migrant workers are happier and more satisfied with their life than last year, but they still constantly feel lonely, isolated and looked down upon, according to a survey jointly released by Renmin University of China and bob.gzh.com, a job hunting website for migrant workers.
The survey polled 2,011 migrant workers in 20 cities among the website’s 7.2 million registered users.
Compared with the survey’s results last year, migrant workers are happier with their living standards, but the level of interpersonal relationships, social participation and status has dropped, the report stated.
Yue Shuangbao, 46, from Gansu province, has been working as a truck driver in Yulin, Shaanxi province for so long he cannot even remember the exact number of years.
“Life is really hard if I don’t work away from home,” Yue said.
His whole family depends on his income, which is 5,500 yuan ($ 880) per month, 500 yuan higher than last year.
“We can see that migrant workers’ wages are growing, that ‘s why they feel happier about life,” said Hu Ping, a professor of Psychology at Renmin University of China. “However, the social participation situation is not getting any better.”
The report said more than half of the polled migrant workers constantly have negative feelings, including loneliness, isolation, and worthlessness.
Yue said he was very homesick, but because visiting friends and family costs money, he remains alone.
“I miss my family all the time, but what can I do? My daughter and son are still in school, my parents are old and our family is useless. At least I earn more than if I stayed at home,” he said. “I have to do this to support my family.”
“We found that those who have a more active social life are generally happier than those who don’t,” said Li Jiuxin, CEO of job.gzh.com.
Around 30 percent of those polled said they would turn to an online network for help, the report also said.

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap.
On September 11th 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying. "I promised you a gift, and here it is. " What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as "hopeless", "pitiful", and "dying", which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. "Don’t expect any presents this year." Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. "If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough. " As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I'd never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say. "What? He's all right?" He hung up and shouted upstairs. " The hospital said we can bring Richard home!"
"Thank God.'" I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them happier. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I rushed downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

Although new laws have been passed in some American states to cut down on distracted(分心的) driving , many accidents and deaths were still related with it , especially using cell phones while driving . Recently the Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars . aiming to cut down cell-phone-related road deaths.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, the nation’s anti-distracted-driving supporter , said in an interview on November 18 that federal officials are looking at technology to disable cell phones inside cars.
“I think it will be done，”LaHood said。“I think the technology is there and I think you’re going to see the technology become adaptable in automobiles to disable these cell phones．We need to do a lot more if we were going to save lives．”
Also on Thursday , the transportation government started a new “Faces of Distracted Driving” video campaign that features people who have been killed or lost their loved ones because of inattentive drivers．The video features heartbreaking stories of children killed in crashes because of phoning or text messaging，and new videos are expected to be added every few weeks．
A driver is four times more likely to crash while using a mobile phone．More than 5，500 people were killed last year by distracted drivers，and another 500，000 were injured．LaHood has said it is never safe to talk on a cell phone while driving , hands-free or not．because it can really cause distraction．
Incidentally．a 1ot of people seem to agree with this viewpoint—a new research shows nearly two-thirds of Americans support a national ban on the use of cell phones while driving，even if the driver is using a hands-free device(装置)．But the research didn’t ask how people feel about government-issued mobile phone scramblers or other disabling devices。
44．The Obama administration is considering disabling cell phones in cars because ．
A．there is no national laws to prevent the use of cell phones in cars
B．most drivers take no notice of American laws
C．using phones while driving has caused many accidents

D．is strongly for the use of the technology in cars
46．The“Faces of Distracted Driving”video campaign aims to ．
A．find out the real drivers who caused the accidents
B．make the public aware of the terrible results of distracted driving
C．call on drivers to buy the new device which disables cell phones in cars

When I met him, I had a lot of anger inside of me. I’ve lived my whole life in Spanish Harlem, but in my neighborhood, there are shoot-ups all the time. I know kids who have been shot or beaten up. I have friends who ended up in prison. I could have ended up that way, too, but Mr. Clark wouldn’t let that happen.
Mr. Clark worked long hours, making sure I did my work. My grades rose. In fact, the scores of our whole class rose. One day, he took our class to see The Phantom of the Opera, and it was the first time some kids had ever been out of Harlem. Before the show, he treated us to dinner at a restaurant and taught us not to talk with our mouths full. We did not want to let him down.
Mr. Clark was selected as Disney’s 2000 Teacher of the Year. He said he would draw three names out of a hat; those students would go with him to Los Angeles to get the award. But when the time came to draw names, Mr. Clark said, “You’re all going.”
On graduation day, there were a lot of tears. We didn’t want his class to end. In 2001, he moved to Atlanta, but he always kept in touch. He started giving lectures about education, and wrote a bestselling book based on his classroom rules, The Essential 55. In 2003,
Mr. Clark took some of us on a trip to South Africa to deliver school supplies and visit the orphanages (孤儿院). It was the most amazing experience of my life. It’s now my dream to one day start a group of women’s clubs, helping people from all backgrounds.

2013学年乐清市二中高三 10月月考
Below is a selection about how to make friends.
It’s nice to have friends. Sometimes you need one person to talk to. You can play games, hang out or even just talk on the phone. Consider these suggestions to meet people and form strong, lasting friendships. Well, take your time, and don’t rush.
?Join an organization or a club with people who have common interests.
You don’t necessarily have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. But if you have something in common with them, it can make it a lot easier to talk to them and plan activities. Whatever your age and whatever your interests, there is an organization or a club for you. Social networking sites such as Facebook , Twitter are also a great way to meet new people and learn more about them.
?Join a sports team.
As long as you enjoy the sport and support your teammates, joining a local team with a laid-back attitude could be a great way to make new friends. A sports team isn’t the only way. If you play instruments or sing ，try joining a band.
?Make small talk.
Keep the conversation light and cheery. Even if you’re complaining about something, make sure it’s something you’re both dissatisfied with, and emphasize the positive—how such a situation can be avoided in the future. Many conversationalists say that it is good to follow a 30/70 (30% talking, 70% listening) pattern during small talk when possible.
?Ask them out for lunch or coffee.
That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. A good way to extend yourself is to say: “Hey, well, I've got to go, but if you ever want to talk over lunch or coffee or anything like that, let me give you my number or e-mail address.” This gives the person the opportunity to get in touch with you; they may or may not give you their information in return, but that’s fine. Maybe they don’t have time for new friends--don’t take it personally! Just offer your information to whoever seems to be potentially a good friend, and eventually somebody will get in touch.
?Be loyal(忠诚的）to a friend.
You've probably heard of fair-weather friends. They’re the ones who are happy to be around you when things arc going well ，but are nowhere to be found when you really need them. Part of being a friend is being prepared to spare time and energy in order to help out your friends. If a friend needs help with an unpleasant thing, or if he or she just needs a shoulder to cry on ，be there. If your friends make a joke ，laugh with them. Never complain about a friend.
? Be a good listener.
Many people think that in order to be seen as ‘friend material’ they have to appear very interesting. Far more important than this ，however, is the ability to show that you’re interested in others. Listen carefully to what people say, remember important details about them (their names, their likes and dislikes), ask questions about their interests, and just take the lime to learn more about them. You don’t want to be the guy or girl that always has a better story than anyone else or that changes the subject suddenly instead of continuing the flow of conversation.
? Be trustworthy.
One of the best things about having a friend is that you have someone to whom you can talk about anything, even secrets that you hide from the rest of the world. The key to being a good friend is the ability to keep secrets, so it’s no secret that you shouldn’t tell other people things that were told to you in confidence.
52. According to the given information, what quality do you need to have if you want to make friends?
A. Patience. B. Curiosity. C. Bravery. D. Humor.
53. Those who can enjoy a happy life together but it’s hard to go through hardness hand in hand are________
A. loyal friends B. close friends C. dishonest friends D. fair-weather friends
54. While having a conversation with your friends, you should avoid_______.
A. applying the 30/70 pattern B. talking too much about yourself
C. showing interest in their topics D. knowing more details about them
55. To be a reliable friend ，you'd better_______.
A. have some common interests with your friends
B. find something to complain about with your friends
C. keep the secrets that your friends have told you
D. exchange your personal information with your friends

How to Take Care of a Butterfly Cocoon
If you’re an elementary school science teacher or a mom of curious little kids, you might already know witnessing a caterpillar turning into a butterfly is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences that a young kid can have.
56 . Apart from letting your kids witness the change on themselves, it’s also a good idea to ground their experience with educational background. You could let the kids draw or take notes of their observations until the caterpillar finally transforms into a butterfly.
57 . Caterpillars spin cocoons for themselves using a silk-like substance coming from their bodies. The caterpillar attaches this cocoon to a leaf or twig and wraps its body around it. That’s why it’s best that you provide a hanging stick or branch where the cocoon could be attached to. The best way is to have the caterpillar live on an indoor plant.
Do not disturb the cocoon. Once the insect is inside the cocoon, there’s actually nothing else that needs to be done. The best way is to let everybody know that nobody should touch the cocoon; the butterfly is being “formed” inside and if anybody disturbs it, chances are she won’t be able to be formed properly. 58.
If the cocoon falls off its twig, don’t panic! The insect is still safe and it will still emerge as a butterfly soon enough. 59. Don’t attempt to put it back to its original place.
Know when the butterfly will emerge from the cocoon. The insect usually stays inside the cocoon for 10 to 14 days. The day just before the butterfly emerges, the cocoon will turn either dark, or very clear. Expect the butterfly to come out in the early morning, and be sure to have your kids at hand to witness this event! 60 .
Once the butterfly emerges and its wings become strong enough, the next part is to let her go out into the garden. Your kids will certainly appreciate the lesson on transformation, patience, and letting go. Good luck!
Know the process.
The best way is to leave it alone.
Help it come back to its place immediately.
This will happen very fast, so be ready.
Get it come out as quickly as possible.
It is a great opportunity to teach kids about patience.
Prepare the environment for the cocoon.

Dear Sir/ Madam,
We are glad to know that you are going to take over and rebuild Tourists’ Hotel. The people living in Xiangyang Residential Area (居民区) next to your hotel ask me to write to you about the problems we are facing. Our residential area is located next to your hotel. The traffic jams caused by cars and trucks coming into and out of the parking lot often result in inconveniences. And children also find it unsafe to go to school, which is opposite the hotel. We cannot put up with the noise from the karaoke hall any more. Dirty water from the kitchen flows into our courtyard and it smells terrible. All the people living here are looking forward to effective changes that you are going to bring about.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
