[参考答案]
Dear_Sir,
I’m_writing_to_talk_about_the_problems_of_food_safety_nowadays. In order to reduce the cost and make more profits, some food companies don’t take necessary safety measures to guarantee the food quality. As a result, more and more low-quality food flows into the market, doing a lot of harm to consumers’ health.
In my opinion, food is essential to human beings. We can not live without proper food. If no notice were taken of food safety, the health of the whole nation would suffer. So I call on the whole society to take action and put an end to the low-quality food. Only in this way can we live a healthier life.
Yours_truly,
Li_Hua

He dares to think and to act.他敢想敢干。
②dare可用作情态动词,“敢于”;无第三人称单数形式,其过去式为dared;多用于否定句、疑问句及条件状语从句中。如:

你敢在晚上一个人出去吗?
I wonder how he ______ that to her mother.
A. dare to say B. dare saying
C. not dare say D. dared say
解析:此题考查dare作情态动词的用法;dare用作情态动词,后接动词原形,其过去式为dared;若用作实义动词,应有人称、时态的变化,且其后应接带to的不定式。
