Paul Zindel’s death on March 27,2003 ended the brilliant life of a famous writer.
Not only did Paul Zindel win a Pulitzer Prize as well as an Obie Prize for his 1970 play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, but be was one of the earliest writers in the field of contemporary(当代的) literature for young adults(成人). The Pigman, published in 1968, is still one of the most well-known and widely-taught novels in the genre. The American Library Association has named it one of the 100 Best of the Best Books for Young Adults published between 1967 and 1992, and Zindel’s autobiography, The Pigman and Me, was among the 100 Best of the Best Books published for teenagers during the last part of the twentieth century. Six of Zindel’s books, in fact, have been voted the Best Books for Young Adults, and most of his recent horror books-such as The Doom Stone and Rats-have been chosen as Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. Clearly, he was a writer who knew how to interest contemporary children. Recognizing that, the American Library Association in 2002 honored Paul Zindel with the Margaret A. Edwards Prize for his lifetime achievements, and later that same year he was presented with the ALAN Prize for his contributions to Young Adult Literature. With his passing, young readers, teachers, and librarians have lost a great friend.

Three months after the government stopped issuing(发放)or renewing permits for Internet cafes because of security(安全)concerns, some cafe owners are having financial(经济的)concerns of their own.
The permits were stopped suddenly three months ago by the government until new safeguards could be put in place to prevent misuse of the information superhighway, but for cafe owners it’s a business breakdown with no fix in sight.
“I handed in a request to open up an Internet café and received the conditions,” said the businessman Obeidallah. “I rented a place in the Sharafiah district at SR45,000 and prepared the place with equipment that cost me more than SR100,000. When I went to the local government after finishing everything, I was surprised to find that they’d stopped issuing permits for Internet cafes.”
Having an Internet cafe without Internet is much like having a coffee shop without coffee. “I’m avoiding closing the place, but it’s been more than three months with the situation ongoing as it is.” Obeidallah said. “Who will bear the losses caused by the permit issue ”
The decision took many cafe owners by surprise. “I asked to open an Internet café, and I was handed a list of all the things that were needed to follow through, such as a sign for the place, filling out forms,” said Hassan Al-Harbi.
“I did all that was asked and rented a place. And after the Haj vacation I went to the local government and they surprised me, saying that there are new rules that forbid the issuing of any more Internet cafe permits and that one can’t even renew his permit. I’ve lost more than SR80,000,” Al-harbi added.
As for the government, officials say a method to deal with it is on the way. But security concerns come before profit(盈利).
60.The government stopped issuing or renewing permits for Internet cafes .
A.to prevent misuse of new safeguards in Internet cafes
B.to make cafe owners earn less profit from their business
C.to stop the use of the information superhighway on Internet
D.to make sure of the proper use of the information superhighway
61.The government’s decision led to the fact that many cafe owners .
A.suffered heavy financial losses B.asked to open up Internet cafes
C.continued to operate Internet cafes D.asked the government for payment
62.The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “on the way” means .
A.to be studied B.to be put into practice
C.to be changed D.to be improved
63.The cafe owners found the government’s decision .
A.suprising and unacceptable B.understandable and acceptable
C.reasonable but surprising D.surprising but acceptable

Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy ,warm ,damp and thick .But if you had been around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age ,would it have been the same For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted(反应)to the cold ,dry climates of the ice ages ,but until now ,no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming . Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tonnes of CO2 each year; equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to future climate change If it gets drier ,will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
Unfortunately ,getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult .To study past climate ,scientists need to look at fossilized pollen ,kept in lake muds .Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments (沉淀物),which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery .There are very few roads and paths ,or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes .Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest ,but this still leaves vast ares between the rivers completely unsampled(未取样).So far ,only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.
64.The underlined phrase “mopping up” in the second paragraph means .
A.cleaning up B.taking in C.wiping out D.giving out
65.How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change
A.It’ll get drier and continue to remove CO2 .
B.It’ll remain steamy ,warm ,damp and thick .
C.It’ll get warmer and then colder and drier.
D.There is no exact answer up to present.
66.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A.It’s important to drill deep down into lake sediments to collect information.
B.It’s impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest.
C.It’s hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the Amazon rainforest.
D.It’s necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate.
67.The best title for this passage may probably be .
A.Studies of the Amazon B.Climates of the Amazon
C.Secrets of the Rainforests D.Changes of the Rainforests

My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and don’t work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools, we students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What’s more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.

My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school. As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. On the other hand, some of us are lazy and don't work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they some times cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What's more, we should improve our study meth ods and get well prepared for examinations.2005年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(广东卷) 解析

题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
We have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening, we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests' coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.
The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.
Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her
hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.
I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big "to do" over the younger one because
she's the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.
But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen
would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been
missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying.
I said, "What are you doing, my dear "
She turned to me with a sad expression and said, "Mommy, why don't people like me the way
they like my sister Is it because I'm not pretty Is that why they don't say nice things about me as
much "
I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.
Now, whenever I visit a friend's home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.
56. The underlined expression 'make a big "to do" over' (paragraph 4) means _______.
A. show much concern about
B. have a special effect on
C. list jobs to be done for
D. do good things for
59. We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A. parents should pay more attention to the elder children
B. the younger children are usually more easily hurt
C. people usually like the younger children more
D. adults should treat children equally
B
Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power,
commands respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership
skills can't be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.
Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop How do they (and how can you) get others to follow
Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance
from others is to treat them like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity (慷慨) that's never forgotten.
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism (批评) , which often
hurts rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager, agrees.
"Catch people doing something right!" he says. Then tell everyone about it.
Take informed risks. " The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise,"
says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz. "Sky divers don't go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes (降落伞) beforehand. "
Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait
for others to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail - and not die a
thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.
Encourage enthusiasm (热情). "When people understand the importance of work, they lend
their mental strengths," says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. That's a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement Be enthusiastic your-self - You will be followed by everyone.
60. The underlined word "cultivated" (paragraph 1) roughly means _______.
A. encouraged
B. compared
C. examined
D. developed
61. The part Always give credit tells us that a leader should _______.
A. give helpful criticism
B. regard others as real heroes
C. praise people for their good performances
D. praise everyone
62. To be a good leader, you should _______.
A. not be afraid of any risks
B. think twice before taking risks
C. try to avoid any possible failures
D. know what a thoughtless exercise is
63. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Leadership Is of Skills and Techniques
B. Leadership Is Very Important
C. Not Many Can Be Leaders
D. How to Be a Leader
C
"Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave Or have you jumped in the
water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you " asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh. "There is certainly a lot of energy in waves," he said. Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity. Most waves are created when
winds blow across the ocean. "The wind starts out by making little ripples (涟漪) , but if they
keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves," Taylor said. " Waves
are one of nature 's ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.
When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it
through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮机) . The turbine can then power an electrical
generator to produce electricity .
"The resource is huge," said Janet Swain of the Worldwatch Institute. "We will never run out of wave power. " Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal. Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth's surface - that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome.
Swain said that wave power still costs too much money. She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown. What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic.
Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out. " Demand for energy to
power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world," Swain said. In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be
providing the electricity!
64. The writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to _______.
A. test the readers' knowledge about waves
B. draw the readers' attention to the topic
C. show Jamie Taylor's importance
D. invite the readers to answer them
65. The underlined phrase "picking up" (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to _______.
A. starting again
B. speeding up
C. gathering
D. improving
66. We can make better use of wave energy if we _______.
A. shorten its journey to thousands of homes
B. build more small power stations on the oceans
C. reduce the cost of turning it into electric power
D. quicken the steps of producing electricity
67. It can be inferred that some day we might not worry about ________.
A. air pollution
B. our boat traffic
C. our power supply
D. our supply of sea fish
D
In 1837, the historian Carlyle made the first recorded use of the word " queue" (排队). He
spoke of the French and their "habit of standing in a queue". Forty years later Paris was the best
place to wait in line.
However, queuing became popular in Britain too. The Second World War was the golden age
of queuing, and people joined any line in the hope that it was a queue for something to buy. This
was the source of many Second World War jokes:
Shopkeeper to customer: Excuse me, miss, are you pregnant (怀孕)
Customer: Well, I wasn't when I joined the queue.
Today, according to research in America, we (in Britain) can spend up to 5 years of our lives
queuing - as compared to twelve months looking for things we have lost. But things may be changing.
Many people no longer have the patience to stand in a queue. The law of the jungle (丛林) has begun to operate at bus stops, with people using their arms to push others out of the way.
One way to make life easier is to introduce "queue management". Customers at supermarket
cheese counters can now take a ticket with a number which appears on a screen when it is their
turn. And while they wait for their number, they can do a bit of shopping.
In some booking offices there is also a system telling customers how long they may have to wait before they are served.
One of the latest technical progress is the use of an electronic scanner (电子识别器) which
can read all the contents of your shopping basket or trolley in just a few seconds. If these become
popular, queuing in supermarkets may become a thing of the past.
But some people just like queuing. One man queued all night for Harrods famous January sale, and then returned home for breakfast at nine o' clock the next morning without going into the shop.
68. The joke in Paragraph 2 implies that the young woman _______.
A. has been waiting in the queue for a long time
B. doesn't need to stand in the queue
C. enjoys standing in the queue
D. has stood in the wrong line
69. According to the passage, which of the following is true
A. The British spend more time queuing than looking for lost things.
B. The Americans criticized the British for their way of queuing.
C. The British are always patient when they wait in line.
D. People queue only when they want to buy something.
70. The British try to solve the problem of queuing by all the following EXCEPT _______.
A. making a law to prevent queuing
B. telling the customers the waiting time
C. using numbered tickets to put the customers in order
D. checking the price of the goods customers buy with a scanner
71. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. queue management doesn't work well
B. there is still queuing in England
C. we don't see much queuing in Paris
D. the French like queuing more than the British

Once upon a time there was a farmer who worked hard in the fields everyday. One day , while he was ploughing the fields, he heard a bumping sound. He saw a rabbit by the trump. He picked it up and found that it was a fat rabbit. He thought to himself, “Since it is so easy to get a rabbit like that, why should I work so hard all day long ” He threw his hoe away and lay by the tree everyday, dreaming for more rabbits to come. When he finally realized his foolishness and returned to his fields, he found that all his crops were dead. This story tells us that we should not wait for unexpected gains by trusting to chance and luck. Or, we should not hope to get rewards without hard work.

There was oncw a farmer who worked very hard every day. One day when he was hoeing in the sunshine, he suddenly heard a low sound“Peng”. He turned and hurried to the tree. He found a rabbit dying. He took hold of the rabbit and was very excited. “What a rabbit! I’ll have it for dinner!”Then he had a good idea, “Why can’t I wait for more rabbits here It’s cool under the tree.” So he dropped off his hoe and waited there. But day after day, there were no more rabbits coming. What was worse, all his crops were dead.
The story tells us that if you want to get something, you must work hard for it. Remember, “No pains, no gains!”

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Have you ever wondered why birds sing Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a "territory" is A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species (物种) are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird's song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language all their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.
56. Some scientists believe that most of the time birds' singing is actually _____
A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warning
C. an expression of anger D. a way of greeting
57. What is a bird' s "territory"
A. A place where families of other species are not accepted
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
C. An area for which birds fight against each other.
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.
58. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season
A. Because they want to invite more friends.
B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.
C. Because they want to find outsiders around.
D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.
59. How does the writer explain birds' singing
A. By comparing birds with human beings. B. By reporting experiment results.
C. By describing birds' daily life. D. By telling a bird's story.
B
At one time no one could travel on an English road faster than four miles an hour. That was the law until 1896. A man had to walk in front of a car which could not go faster than the man. At night the man had to carry a red lamp.
Once Charles Rolls brought a car from France to England, but he wanted to drive faster than four miles an hour. In order to have no trouble with the police, he had a talk with some of the police officers, who ordered their policemen to look the other way when the car came along the road. This was a good plan in the country, but not so easy to follow in the busy streets of London.
One night Rolls and some friends started from London on their journey to Cambridge. One of the men walked in front with the red lamp, but he walked as fast as he could. The police became very interested in walls and shop-fronts when they heard the car, and not one of them saw it.
They reached a hill; but what a waste of time it was to drive down the hill at four miles an hour! Rolls was getting ready to jump into the car; but then he noticed a policeman who was not looking the other way. The slow car reached him.
"Good evening," said the policeman, looking at the car.
"Good evening," said Roils, holding the lamp.
"One of these horseless things," said the policeman, looking at it with interest.
"Yes," said Rolls, and waited.
"I've often wanted a ride in one; but of course policemen can't buy things like that." He turned and looked hopefully in Rolls's face.
"Jump in," said Rolls.
"Thanks," said the policeman, and did so. "Now," he said, sitting down, "you can let it go just as you like down this hill. There isn't another policeman on this road for a mile and a half."
60. The policemen were told "to look the other way" (the underlined part in Paragraph 2) so that ______.
A. they could watch the car coming from the other direction
B. the car could go faster than four miles an hour
C. they could make sure no one was in the way
D. the car would not hit them on the road
61. In what way did the policemen carry out the order from their officers
A. They greeted Roils when the car came along.
B. They walked in front of the car with a red lamp.
C. They pretended to be attracted by something else.
D. They stood on duty every 1.5 miles along the road.
62. The policeman who said "Good evening" to Rolls wanted to ________.
A. teach Rolls a lesson B. take a free ride home
C. have a talk with Rolls D. have a car ride experience
63. After the policeman jumped into the car, Rolls _________.
A. dared not drive the car faster than he was allowed to
B. could drive as fast as he wished within a certain distance
C. could drive on any road he liked for the rest of the journey

Goods must be of proper quality, must be as described on the package and must be fit for any particular purpose made known by the seller. Those three rules used for the goods you buy can also be used for the goods you get on hire, or for the goods you get as part of a service.
There are also rules which deal with the standard of services you get -- from, say, travel agents, shoe repairers, hairdressers and builders. These tell you what you should expect from any service you pay for.
A person providing a service must do so:
--With reasonable care and skill. You should expect a proper standard of workmanship (工艺). A new house should have straight walls and the roof must not leak.
--Within a reasonable time. A shop should not take three months to repair your TV. You can always agree upon a completion time with the supplier of the service.
You, the customer, must pay:
--A reasonable charge for a service, where no price has been fixed in advance. A trader can not expect a large payment for a small job.
64. The underlined word "these" in Paragraph 2 refers to “_______”
A. the services B. the workers C. the goods D. the rules
65. What should the supplier do when offering a service
A. He should determine the completion time himself.
B. He should provide free repairs within three months.
C. He should make sure the service meets proper standards.
D. He should reach an agreement on the payment with his workers.
66. The passage is trying to _______ .
A. ask the customer to buy goods and services of high quality
B. advise the buyer how to pay a reasonable price for a service
C. tell the customer what rights he has once he pays for something
D. warn the seller what he sells must meet the buyer's requirements

Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part drivers.
DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake lock up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.
One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote (远距离的) control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The "winner," if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.
"You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things," says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics. "Even ants (蚂蚁) can do all these tasks effortlessly. It's very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines."
The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two - year – old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.
67. Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because ________.
A. they did not have any human guidance
B. the road was not familiar to the drivers
C. the distance was too long for the vehicles
D. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers
68. DARPA organized the race in order to ________.
A. raise money for producing more robotic vehicles
B. push the development of vehicle industry
C. train more people to drive in the desert
D. improve the vehicles for future wars
69. From the passage we know "robotic vehicles" are a kind of machines that ______.
A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living things can
B. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit
C. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down
D. can move from place to place without being driven by human beings
70. In the race, the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered was
A. about eight miles B. six miles C. almost two miles D. about one mile
71. In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to go __
A. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties
B. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the table
C. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve
D. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face

From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions. It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating, and which are to be avoided; when to attack and when to run away. The animal is, in fact, playing a very dangerous game with its environment, a game in which it must make decisions ----- a matter of life or death.
Animals' ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call "genetic (遗传性的) learning", which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime. Genetic learning is learning by a species --animals of the same kind ----as a whole, and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way. However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past. The more important individual experience is likely to be, the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game. Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next, it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning.
In the great majority of animals, their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with. That is why animals can survive.
72. The animal's life will come to an end ,__________.
A. if the animal makes a wrong decision
B. if the animal plays a dangerous game
C. when the animal attacks its enemy
D. when the animal runs too slowly
73. Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because ______.
A. each generation has its own way of learning
B. their environments change all the time
C. they can act reasonably on their own
D. it takes their whole life to learn
74. When the environment doesn't change much, _______.
A. animals cannot act in a right way
B. genetic learning is less important for animals
C. individual learning plays a less important role
D. animals cannot get over problems on their own
75. Animals' living on generation after generation depends on ________.
A. their natural action pattern with their own experience
B. the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime
C. their experience in particular environments
D. the knowledge passed on by their parents

June 8th
Dear Jianhua,
I'm very glad to have received the letter you sent me two
weeks ago.I've been thinking about the question you asked me.In
my opinion,you should come back after you finish your studies abroad.
For one reason,what you are studying is badly needed
nowadays in China.It will be quite easy for you to find a good
job.In fact,I know a few big companies in our city are hoping to
hire people like you.For another reason,I think It will be much
more convenient for you to look after your parents as they are
getting old.Therefore,I think it's a good idea for you to return.So
what are you waiting for?
Best wishes,
Minghua
