第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分）
A
The early 1900s were very different from today. Toys, though they have evolved in many ways, were still the delight of children everywhere.
Theodore Roosevelt's Presidency marks the beginning of the “Teddy Bear.” In the year 1902,toy bears were named “Teddy” after the president's nickname. The Teddy Bear became known worldwide, and is still known and loved today. It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.
In 1913,an item called the Erector Set was invented. It was a steel, motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything. Its creator was A.C. Gilbert, a medical doctor.
Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children.
Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartoonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter. That was in 1915.
The following year, an architect's son named John Lloyd Wright, invented Lincoln Logs, which were interlocked to make structures.
Two years after Mickey Mouse was created, stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark. This was the start of Disney merchandise.
The yo yo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yo yo company in 1929.
The View Master, a three dimensional viewer, was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber. The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still, 3 D images from Disney movies and television programs.
Finally, in 1940, model airplanes were mass produced. They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military, but later caught on as a toy.
The toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times. Isn’t it interesting to know that if it hadn't been for all these creative people, most of the games you know today would never have been

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may go to choose a husband from many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper goes up the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.
So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a hus band. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, “Well, that' s better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what' s further up？”
So up she goes. The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2-These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, “That's great, but I wonder what's further up？”
And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3-These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking. “Hmm, better.” she says. “But I wonder what' s upstairs ？”
The fourth floor sign reads:
Floor 4-These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework. “Wow！” exclaims the woman, “Very tempting. But, there must be more, further up！”
And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads:
Floor 5-These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic character. “Oh, mercy me！ But just think...what must be awaiting me further on？”
So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads:
Floor 6-You are visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day.
61.The underlined word “catch” in Paragraph 1 probably means_______________.

C
The dollar is becoming weaker and weaker. What effects will it have？Look at the record high price of oil. Even if the same amount of oil is being pumped out of the ground, since it is traded in dollars and the dollar has weakened, the price of oil has increased to make up for the lost value of the dollar, creating a sort of bad cycle.
Oil producing countries don't want to keep all the dollars they are getting for their oil, since it's declining in value, so they exchange their dollars for Euros or other currencies. That pushes more dollars back out into currency markets, which in turn pushes down the dollar's value.
One expert told ABC News that Russia used to have 90 percent of its financial reserves in dollars. It now has 45 percent in dollars, 45 percent in Euros and 10 percent in British pounds.
In the US itself, the news is mixed. It’s good, because it makes what we produce here cheaper to sell in foreign markets, and that in turn spurs(刺激) exports of our products around the world. That translates into more manufacturing and more jobs.
But a weak dollar is bad, because it leads to inflation (通货膨胀) in this country. Imports from foreign countries will become more expensive, and in particular, oil will be more expensive. That puts pressure on businesses to increase prices for anything that uses oil or products that come from overseas. One benefit for American shoppers is that China has largely pegged its currency to ours, so that keeps the price of Chinese made goods low and therefore, keeps a check on inflation.
65.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage？_______________
A. Why is the dollar losing value B. What caused the weak dollar
C. What to do with the weak dollar？ D. What effects will the weak dollar have
66.With the dollar losing its value, oil producing countries will do all of the following EXCEPT _______________.
A. raising the price of oil
B. raising their production of oil
C. exchanging their dollars for other currencies
D. decreasing their financial reserves in dollars
67.It can be inferred that_______________.
A. the American economy is having a hard time
B. Russia is making the situation worse on purpose
C. American export businesses would like a stronger dollar
D. Chinese made goods remain as competitive as before in the USA
68.Which of the following is NOT an effect of the weakening dollar？_______________
A. The rise of the price of oil.
B. More jobs in the USA.
C. The occurrence of inflation.
D. More imports in the USA.
69.The passage is written mainly to_______________.
A. show how hard the lives of Americans are
B. tell us some effects of the weaker dollar
C. persuade countries to keep less financial reserves in dollars
D. figure out who benefits most from the weaker dollar
D
As a solo artist, Brightman has sold 26 million albums and two million DVDs in 34 countries. Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in the States but not here (Britain) – the image of her and her second husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber (he much older, she his muse) seems for ever frozen.
The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now. And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”
Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted (father a property developer who later committed suicide), she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.
Brightman led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人舞） Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.
Brightman says she felt hostility(敌意) “from the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the US, where I now live, I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”
70. The first paragraph tells us that______________.
A. Brightman is very popular around the world except in America
B. Brightman’s musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazz
C. the British people don’t like her for her style of music
D. Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber
71. Brightman decided to give up having children because______________.
A. she could adopt one
B. her life and career were unbelievably rich without children
C. she felt it normal not to have children
D. she was too busy
72. What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightman’s words
______________
A. Brightman has to accept the fact that she is liked in Britain
B. Brightman lives in America but she loves her own country
C. The British coldness towards Brightman led to her hatred to her homeland
D. Brightman was at a loss why she was not welcome in Britain

第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分,满分15分）
Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know-or even think to ask-who it was that invented them.
Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.
On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.
But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.
After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket ” one shopper replied.
But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony（假冒的）customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come-those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937-before the coming of the shopping cart.

66.B 细节理解题。根据第二和第三段可知，产油国为应对美元贬值主要采取两项措施：(1)提升石油价格；(2)将美元储备兑换成其他货币。A和C显然正确。将美元储备兑换成其他货币也就是减少美元储备，D也正确。
67.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，中国外汇储备仍大部分绑定美元，这使得中国产品在美国市场的价格低廉，竞争力一如既往的强劲。
68.D 细节理解题。美元疲软带来的影响有：国际油价的上涨、美国国内就业率的上升、美国的通货膨胀、增加出口、不利于进口等，故选D。
69.B 作者意图题。作者写这篇文章的目的主要是告诉我们美元疲软带来的种种影响，所以选B。
70.B 细节理解题。从第一段我们可以了解到，莎拉·布莱曼的音乐特色是歌剧，流行音乐，和爵士乐的相互交融的综合产物。
71.C 细节理解题。第二段说After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming， to parents especially， but I have never known anything different，布莱曼并没有觉得没有孩子有什么不正常的。
72.A 作者意图推断题。文章最后一段援引了布莱曼的话，充满了无奈。布莱曼并没有说自己因为英国人不喜欢她而痛恨英国，但她也坦言她并不想念自己的家乡，虽然只是惦念父母和家人。I just accept it for what it is说明布莱曼只有接受现实而已。
73.A 在介绍的这四个地方中找到Capitol Square即找到了答案。

Dear Peter，
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able
to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then， it also helps to watch TV
and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible. Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes.
Yours

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分）
A
The early 1900s were very different from today. Toys, though they have evolved in many ways, were still the delight of children everywhere.
Theodore Roosevelt's Presidency marks the beginning of the “Teddy Bear.” In the year 1902,toy bears were named “Teddy” after the president's nickname. The Teddy Bear became known worldwide, and is still known and loved today. It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.
In 1913,an item called the Erector Set was invented. It was a steel, motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything. Its creator was A.C. Gilbert, a medical doctor.
Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children.
Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartoonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter. That was in 1915.
The following year, an architect's son named John Lloyd Wright, invented Lincoln Logs, which were interlocked to make structures.
Two years after Mickey Mouse was created, stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark. This was the start of Disney merchandise.
The yo yo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yo yo company in 1929.
The View Master, a three dimensional viewer, was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber. The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still, 3 D images from Disney movies and television programs.
Finally, in 1940, model airplanes were mass produced. They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military, but later caught on as a toy.
The toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times. Isn’t it interesting to know that if it hadn't been for all these creative people, most of the games you know today would never have been

A store that sells husbands has just opened in Ottawa where a woman may go to choose a husband from many men. The store is comprised of 6 floors and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper goes up the flights. There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.
So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a hus band. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, “Well, that' s better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what' s further up？”
So up she goes. The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2-These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, “That's great, but I wonder what's further up？”
And up she goes again. The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3-These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking. “Hmm, better.” she says. “But I wonder what' s upstairs ？”
The fourth floor sign reads:
Floor 4-These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework. “Wow！” exclaims the woman, “Very tempting. But, there must be more, further up！”
And again she heads up another flight. The fifth floor sign reads:
Floor 5-These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic character. “Oh, mercy me！ But just think...what must be awaiting me further on？”
So up to the sixth floor she goes. The sixth floor sign reads:
Floor 6-You are visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day.
61.The underlined word “catch” in Paragraph 1 probably means_______________.

C
The dollar is becoming weaker and weaker. What effects will it have？Look at the record high price of oil. Even if the same amount of oil is being pumped out of the ground, since it is traded in dollars and the dollar has weakened, the price of oil has increased to make up for the lost value of the dollar, creating a sort of bad cycle.
Oil producing countries don't want to keep all the dollars they are getting for their oil, since it's declining in value, so they exchange their dollars for Euros or other currencies. That pushes more dollars back out into currency markets, which in turn pushes down the dollar's value.
One expert told ABC News that Russia used to have 90 percent of its financial reserves in dollars. It now has 45 percent in dollars, 45 percent in Euros and 10 percent in British pounds.
In the US itself, the news is mixed. It’s good, because it makes what we produce here cheaper to sell in foreign markets, and that in turn spurs(刺激) exports of our products around the world. That translates into more manufacturing and more jobs.
But a weak dollar is bad, because it leads to inflation (通货膨胀) in this country. Imports from foreign countries will become more expensive, and in particular, oil will be more expensive. That puts pressure on businesses to increase prices for anything that uses oil or products that come from overseas. One benefit for American shoppers is that China has largely pegged its currency to ours, so that keeps the price of Chinese made goods low and therefore, keeps a check on inflation.
65.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage？_______________
A. Why is the dollar losing value B. What caused the weak dollar
C. What to do with the weak dollar？ D. What effects will the weak dollar have
66.With the dollar losing its value, oil producing countries will do all of the following EXCEPT _______________.
A. raising the price of oil
B. raising their production of oil
C. exchanging their dollars for other currencies
D. decreasing their financial reserves in dollars
67.It can be inferred that_______________.
A. the American economy is having a hard time
B. Russia is making the situation worse on purpose
C. American export businesses would like a stronger dollar
D. Chinese made goods remain as competitive as before in the USA
68.Which of the following is NOT an effect of the weakening dollar？_______________
A. The rise of the price of oil.
B. More jobs in the USA.
C. The occurrence of inflation.
D. More imports in the USA.
69.The passage is written mainly to_______________.
A. show how hard the lives of Americans are
B. tell us some effects of the weaker dollar
C. persuade countries to keep less financial reserves in dollars
D. figure out who benefits most from the weaker dollar
D
As a solo artist, Brightman has sold 26 million albums and two million DVDs in 34 countries. Her musical styles put opera, pop and jazz together. She is popular in the States but not here (Britain) – the image of her and her second husband, Andrew Lloyd Webber (he much older, she his muse) seems for ever frozen.
The 47-year-old singer talks about the new album Symphony that came out of a “very dark time”, including her decision to give up trying to have children. “People have suggested I could adopt,” Brightman says. “But work is central to my life now. And so I am going to put it to one side. After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming, to parents especially, but I have never known anything different. I’m not hurt by not having children. My life and career are incredibly rich.”
Talking about growing up in a large family in Berkhamsted (father a property developer who later committed suicide), she says: “I was gifted as a child, and very musical. I seemed to be good at anything to do with the arts. At 5 I understood the music I was dancing to and had an eye for costume.” She first appeared in a West End musical at 11 and hated boarding school.
Brightman led the saucy dance troupe（辣妹三人舞） Hot Gossip and had her first hit with I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper in 1978. At 18 she married a music manager called Andrew Graham Stewart. “I was probably in love but I can’t remember. Girls change such a lot between 18 and 22. It didn’t really work out.” In 1981 she was spotted by Lloyd Webber. She became his leading lady in Song and Dance, Requiem and Phantom of the Opera. They married in 1984.
Brightman says she felt hostility(敌意) “from the beginning. I haven’t tried to understand it. I’ve done very well everywhere else, especially the US, where I now live, I just accept it for what it is. The more you are away from Britain, the more you appreciate it. But I don’t miss it, although I miss my family. Our profession can be uncomfortable but I enjoy what I do. I get on with it.”
70. The first paragraph tells us that______________.
A. Brightman is very popular around the world except in America
B. Brightman’s musical style is a mixture of opera, pop and jazz
C. the British people don’t like her for her style of music
D. Brightman is much older than Andrew Lloyd Webber
71. Brightman decided to give up having children because______________.
A. she could adopt one
B. her life and career were unbelievably rich without children
C. she felt it normal not to have children
D. she was too busy
72. What does the author try to say in the last paragraph by quoting Brightman’s words
______________
A. Brightman has to accept the fact that she is liked in Britain
B. Brightman lives in America but she loves her own country
C. The British coldness towards Brightman led to her hatred to her homeland
D. Brightman was at a loss why she was not welcome in Britain

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles. But few will know-or even think to ask-who it was that invented them.
Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.
On June 4, 1937, Goldman’s first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn’t wait to see them using his invention.
But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.
After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren’t using his carts. “Don’t you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket ” one shopper replied.
But Goldman wasn’t beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony（假冒的）customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come-those who came bought more. With larger, easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
Today’s shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model. Perhaps that’s one reason Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937-before the coming of the shopping cart.

25.B switch to转变，改变；switch off关闭，对……不理睬；switch on打开；switch over转变，转接。由句意知，B项符合题意。

34.D 句意：—劳驾帮忙关上灯？—没问题，乐意效劳。do sb.a favour“帮某人一个忙”。Could you do me a favour/Could you do a favour for me？是日常用语，意思是“你能帮个忙吗？”。
35.C 句意：这个故事不管多么有趣，这周我都得把它收起来，集中精力学习。此处however引导让步状语从句，又修饰amusing。
36.B 由第45空后的drawings可知，老人想让罗塞蒂看的都是一些sketches and drawings，故选B项。

47.A 由句意知罗塞蒂很欣赏第二组画，一看到它们便立即“产生”了兴趣，故选become。
48.A 由下文“This young student，whoever he is，has great talent”可知，罗塞蒂认为这些画很“好”。
49.D 罗塞蒂认为画的作者应该被给予一切可能的帮助。
50.B encouragement与help在此句中是并列关系，表示既要给予帮助，又要给予鼓励。
51.C stick to“坚持，不放弃”，相当于insist on。
52.A deeply在此句中修饰moved，表示“被深深地感动”。老人听到罗塞蒂对画的作者的高度评价备受感动。
53.D 由下文知，得到罗塞蒂肯定的那组画是老人年轻时画的，但后来他放弃了绘画。sadly表示老人为此十分“悲伤”。
54.B 要是当时老人听到罗塞蒂的表扬就好了，他就会坚持下去。
55.C too soon在此修饰“gave up”。老人说自己当时放弃得太早了。
56.D 根据第二段第2句“...toy bears were named “Teddy” after the president's nickname.”可知选D。
57.B 细节理解题。根据文中关键信息“Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.”可知，两者的差别在于所使用的材料不同，一个是steel，一个是wood。
58.B 根据倒数第三段第二句可知选B。
59.A 根据最后一段最后一句可知答案。
60.C 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，本文主要描述了the early 1900s玩具的发展情况。所以正确答案为C。
61.A 考查词义理解。联系文章第一段中的最后一句可知，挑选丈夫的事并不容易，因为挑选人只能上楼而不能返回已去过的楼层，这使挑选很难进行，因此catch意为“潜在的困难”。
62.C 细节理解题。根据文章的第二至六段可知，她们一层层往上爬是因为她们每到一层都认为更好的丈夫候选人是在上面一层，而对于最顶层的情况她们并不知晓。
63.B 写作意图题。女性难以满足的心理通过挑选丈夫的过程得到了充分的体现。
64.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知：难以满足的心理必将使越来越多的女人空手而归，一无所获。
65.D 主旨大意题。文章开头两句直入主题—美元疲软将产生哪些影响？接下来各段从不同层面对此进行展开，故选D。
66.B 细节理解题。根据第二和第三段可知，产油国为应对美元贬值主要采取两项措施：(1)提升石油价格；(2)将美元储备兑换成其他货币。A和C显然正确。将美元储备兑换成其他货币也就是减少美元储备，D也正确。
67.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，中国外汇储备仍大部分绑定美元，这使得中国产品在美国市场的价格低廉，竞争力一如既往的强劲。
68.D 细节理解题。美元疲软带来的影响有：国际油价的上涨、美国国内就业率的上升、美国的通货膨胀、增加出口、不利于进口等，故选D。
69.B 作者意图题。作者写这篇文章的目的主要是告诉我们美元疲软带来的种种影响，所以选B。
70.B 细节理解题。从第一段我们可以了解到，莎拉·布莱曼的音乐特色是歌剧，流行音乐，和爵士乐的相互交融的综合产物。
71.C 细节理解题。第二段说After a while not having children becomes the norm and perhaps that might sound alarming， to parents especially， but I have never known anything different，布莱曼并没有觉得没有孩子有什么不正常的。
72.A 作者意图推断题。文章最后一段援引了布莱曼的话，充满了无奈。布莱曼并没有说自己因为英国人不喜欢她而痛恨英国，但她也坦言她并不想念自己的家乡，虽然只是惦念父母和家人。I just accept it for what it is说明布莱曼只有接受现实而已。
73.A 在介绍的这四个地方中找到Capitol Square即找到了答案。
74.D 只查找这四个地方开放的时间，找到周一开放的就是了。
75.C 查找有lunch单词的，然后印证是提供午饭就好了。

Dear Peter，
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Here are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able
to learn from the teacher and practice with your fellow students. Then， it also helps to watch TV
and read books, newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible. Besides, it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs, because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese words more easily. You can also make more Chinese friends. They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes.
Yours
Li Hua
