To whom it may concern,
I, as a devoted customer of your brand, feel bad to trouble you but I’m writing to make/file a dramatic complaint about the scarf I bought at your official website last month.
In the first place, the woolen scarf intended for my mother’s birthday is of the wrong color, which is supposed to be pink instead of blue. What’s worse, when checking it, I found a dirty mark on one end. What bothers me most is the bad smell it gives off. It is astonishing that such a designer scarf should neglect its quality control, which makes me extremely disappointed.
In view of the flaws listed above, I insist you give me a full refund or change a new one for me.
Thanks for your consideration and I’d appreciate it a lot if my demand could be met soon.
Looking forward to your timely reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

W: Television is the most significant influence on children in the United States, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children go to school. And, by the time that the average child finishes high school, he or she will have spent 18, 000 hours in front of a television set as opposed to 12, 000 hours in a classroom.
Parents are concerned about these figures and the lack of quality in television programs for children. They are worried the violence in many of these shows may have a negative effect on the young minds. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents are favor of. The most famous of these is “Sesame street (芝麻街(幼儿教育电视节目))”, which tries to give preschool children a head start (获得领先优势) in learning the alphabet and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.
Even though most parents and educators give “Sesame Street” and shows like it high marks for quality, some argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. They say that the habit of watching hours of television a day turns children into bored and passive consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.

A letter to the editor complained about someone stringing toilet paper on their trees. That letter brought a flood of responses defending this act as being harmless to friends: “ It's an honor to get toilet papered", said one writer, “and good fun for teenagers."
Reading these letters brought me chuckles (轻声笑)and then tears as they woke old memories of my mother’s ninety-second year. She was seriously ill that autumn. And I watched, powerless.
A decade before, I helped her break out" of the nursing home. It was a fine place with a caring staff. But Mom didn't want skilled care: she wanted to live on her own and just needed some assistance to do so. Being in a more restrictive environment than necessary was bad for her condition. The risk paid off, and I was rewarded by seeing my mother once again enjoying her life.
Ten years later, Mom's health declined, and my care-giving duties increased. One evening, for some unexplainable reason, I invited my mother to go toilet papering!
This outing would push my mother to her physical limits. Was I making a mistake Secretly we went to my brother's home. In his backyard, I handed Mom a roll of toilet paper. Without hesitation she shot it skyward...
Mom papered a dozen trees in four family yards that unforgettable evening. The day after our big adventure, Mom and I sent a card to each of our victim, signed “From your decorators". We laughed all the way home from the post office, like two schoolgirls.
My mother's last year was marked by physical decline. However, we shared some simple fun each day. Those light-hearted moments were like a salve (慰藉)，and they are the ones I'll always remember. Toilet papering has taught us that play is powerful medicine!
24．Why did the author cry when reading the letter
A．She was blamed for toilet papering. B．It brought her childhood memory.
C．She thought of her sick mother. D．It was very stressful.
25．The author helped her leave the nursing home in order that ____.
A．Mom could enjoy a free life B．Mom could get more skilled home care
C．the nursing cost could be cut down D．they could avoid taking risk
26．What can we learn from the mother's experience of toilet papering

B．They were made to apologize for their mistakes.
C．Toilet papering made her illness worsened.
D．Toilet papering brought them much pleasure.
27．What would be the best title for the text
A．A Letter of Complaint B．Love Between Daughter and Mother
C．The Curing Power of Toilet Papering. D．An Unforgettable Evening in Family Yards

Are you familiar with the greeting, "Can I add you on WeChat " It seems like every time we meet new friends or colleagues nowadays, the first thing that springs to mind is adding each other on the app. Nevertheless, more than 80 percent of WeChat users report feeling stressed or anxious when they receive a large number of messages, according to a study done recently by the app's developer Tencent (腾讯). In other words, WeChat can overwhelm (使应接不暇) us, while also breaking down the boundaries between our work and private lives.
Just think how easy it is now for bosses to hand out assignments during the holiday, so long as they have your WeChat contact. When you're at the cinema enjoying a romantic movie or having a barbecue in the backyard, you can never cut yourself off from the outside world unless you switch off your phone. Not to post something in WeChat Moments before replying to your boss first!
Apart from interrupting your leisure time, WeChat can also reduce your productivity at work. For many office workers, logging in to WeChat on their computers at the start of the day has become routine. But what if browsing the Moments distracts us from doing the work The app steals our time without us even noticing it, making us have the false belief that we are busy all the time.
And as if that weren't bad enough, there're the "one-off" friends who take up space on our WeChat friend list. A handy way to check how many one-off friends you have is to take a look at your chat history with them. Sometimes, you only sent the initial friend requests so you could invite them to a WeChat group or inform them of something for your boss. Yet still, as your friend count (好友数量) ever goes up, it can make you feel the need to post selfies (自拍) and share details of your life in your Moments, just so you can stay up to date.
With WeChat, all our spare time is swallowed up by the constant torrent of messages and our attention keeps getting diverted by Moments and pop-up ads. So it's time that we should do something to nip this problem in the bud.
28．What is most of WeChat users' reaction when receiving a mass of messages
A．They are quite upset. B．They think it's unavoidable.
C．They break down. D．They complain about Tencent.
29．Which of the following may make your boss angry according to Paragraph 2
A．Enjoying a movie at the weekend.
B．Posting something in WeChat Moments.
C．Having a barbecue on vacation.
D．Ignoring the assignment he handed out when seeing it.
30．How can we decide who is the one-off friend on our WeChat friend list
A．By checking if you sent the initial friend request.
B．By seeing if your boss asked you to inform him of something.
C．By having a look at your chat record.
D．By counting the number of your friends on the list.
31．What can be a suitable title for this text
A．Is WeChat becoming a necessity in our life
B．Are WeChat friend requests ruining your life
C．Does your boss want to be your WeChat friend
D．Is it better to have more WeChat friends
D
About 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But as we can’t drink seawater how can it be important
Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important seawater is!
Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced. The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats (海域). Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions (限制) to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to deal with pollution. Finally the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important seawater is!
32．People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea________.
A．wouldn’t harm the fish in the sea B．would change the balance of the food chain
C．would be broken down in the sea D．wouldn’t do much harm to the sea
33．From the passage, we learn that________.
A．most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
B．it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
C．too much fishing has caused the decrease in fish stocks
D．it won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
34．Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans
A．The use of international agreements. B．Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
C．The use of new techniques. D．Raising people’s awareness of the need to protect oceans.
35．What would be the best title of the passage
A．The importance of seawater. B．Life in the oceans.
C．How to protect food chains. D．How to deal with seawater pollution.
