We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand (泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.

Bangkok, the capital（首都）of Thailand, is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables.

Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate(装饰) the school.They put up posters(海报) to pass luck to the team, and many other posters to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When
I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a
small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked
slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the
way I would want my mother treated."
"Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then
asked, "Could you drive through downtown "
"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.
"Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don't have any family left.
The doctor says I don't have very long."
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once
worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where
she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the
darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
"How much do I owe you " she asked.
"Nothing." I said.
"You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto tightly. Our hug ended with her remark,
"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."
How was the old woman
A. She was fine , but she wanted to have a family B. She missed her hometown very much
C. She was ill , but not serious D. She was ill, and she was dying
2.The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to _____.
A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last time
C. let the driver earn more money D. reach the destination on time
3. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he _____.
A. wanted to do her a favor B. shut off the meter by mistake
C. had received her payment in advance D. was in a hurry to take other passengers
4. What can we learn from the story
A. Giving is always a pleasure. B. People should respect each other.
C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy. D. People should learn to appreciate others' concern.
What’s the best title for the passage
A.Under the same roof B. Unlucky woman
C.Hard life D.Great doctors and helpless woman

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water： we don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we are, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here’s how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life.
1._____ Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names. But it’s okay to be the one to break the ice, even if you’ve lived next door for years. Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards，smile, wave，and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they’re babies or in college) , whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the prices at the local supermarket.
2. _____ These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they’re far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Recommend the places to eat and shop. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number point to your house as you say good-bye.
3. _____ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor，such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you’re finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have neighbors talking — and the talk will be good.
4. _____ If you value a friendly relationship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house Better yet might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.
5. _____ In a good relationship the little things are really important. Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back his yard. If you’re truly concerned, you’ll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up — a sunflowers or a helping hand when it’s needed. All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.

One possible version:
Recently I’ve had a discussion with my parents about whether or not I should join the school basketball
team.
They don’t think I am strong enough to be a good basketball player. I might get injured while playing. And
they hope I will spend more time on my studies. However, I don’t agree with them. I know they care about me. Becoming a member of the school team is my dream. I’ll try my best to balance my studies and sports. More importantly, I can learn how to work with others in a team. (77 words)
