The Changes in My Hometown
My hometown has changed a lot over the years. In the past, the roads were narrow and
muddy. The houses were old and small. People mainly made a living by farming, and the living
standards were low.
However, with the support of the government, great changes have taken place. The narrow
roads have been replaced by wide and clean ones. Many new tall buildings have been built. A
large number of villagers have started their own businesses, and their incomes have increased
significantly. What's more, the environment has become much better with more trees and flowers
planted everywhere.
I am really proud of these changes. I hope my hometown will develop more rapidly in the
future, and people will live a happier life.2024—2025 学年度第二学期期中考试

I ran away from the huge living thing as fast as possible, and did not stop until I found myself in
some fields. The grass was about seven metres high and the crops were about thirteen metres high. It
took me an hour to cross just one field. The field had bushes at least forty metres high. ① The trees
around were much taller. I was trying to find a hole in the bushes, so that I could get into the next field. I
saw another huge man coming towards me. He seemed as tall as a mountain, and his feet were as long as
about ten metres.
In great fear and surprise, I hid in the crops, and only hoped he would not notice me. ② He
seemed to be a master and shouted in a loud voice. Then seven other huge men came here. The master
asked them to cut down the crops in the field while I was hiding. As they moved towards me, I moved
away, but at last I came to a part of the field without crops. There was not anywhere for me to hide, and I
was afraid that the huge men would cut me into pieces with their knives. I lay down and prepared to die. I
could not stop myself thinking of Lilliput. There, I myself was also a huge man and became famous for
helping the people in that small country. ③ I began to understand how a very small living felt.
Suddenly, I noticed that one of the huge men was next to me. As his huge foot rose over my head,
I screamed as loudly as I could. He looked around on the ground, and finally saw me. He looked at me
for a moment, then very carefully, he picked me up with fingers and looked at me. I was now twenty
metres up in the air, and I hoped he would not throw me to the ground. ④ I did nothing but spoke
politely to him. Of course, I knew he did not understand any of my language. He took me to his master.
They soon found that I was not an animal, but a smart living thing. The master carefully put me in his
pocket and took me home to show to his wife. When she saw me, she screamed and jumped back in fear,
maybe thinking I was an insect. But after a couple of days, she became used to me, and was very kind to
me.

In the age of social media, receiving handwritten letter is becoming less and less common(普遍),
but not for lifelong pen friends Patsy Gregory and Carol-Ann Krause.
Gregory, from England, and Krause, from New York began to send letters to one another across the
Atlantic Ocean when they were both just 12 years old. What followed was a friendship that has lasted 68
years.
Gregory and Krause say they sent around 800 letters and notes to one another those years, sending
at least one letter every two months.
As Gregory came to her 80th birthday in 2024, she told her daughter, Steph Calam, that one of her biggest regrets(遗憾) was never meeting her pen friend in America.
But it wasn’t a regret soon. On her 80th birthday, Gregroy’s children surprised her with a ticket to
South Carolina, where Krase now lives, to meet her lifelong friend on July 14, 2024.
The two were both happy to spend time together. They had a lot to talk about. “It felt like meeting
an old friend,” Grefory said. “We got on like a house on fire.”
While Gregory and Krause now chat more on social media than through letters, Gregory said she
would encourage(鼓励) everyone to have a pen friend. “It’s such a joy to receive a lovely letter,” she
said.

Hi, everyone, I’m John. Today, I’d like to say something about my work experience. Last
winter holiday, I got a part-time job near my home. It was to sell books. I enjoyed working there
with different people. They were all very friendly and I learnt a lot from them. I also made some
money. The more books I sell, the more money I can get. I have worked there for two weeks and
found it interesting. However, nothing was perfect. I soon found it was such a hard job because I
had to work for long hours and stand all day to clean the book shelves and put the books in order.
Anyway, I’ve got some wonderful experience from it.
