VI．书面表达
Dear Mike Smith,
I am writing to request the valuable chance to be one of the homestay families for the American students.
My parents, who are kind and easy-going in nature, are in favor of my idea that I host an American student. We live in a beautiful community. Luckily, we have extra rooms for guests. I am a student of Youyi Middle school, open-minded and enthusiastic. What’s more, I’m quite good at English and we can communicate well in English.
If an American student stays with us, I’ll be a good guide to some local places of interest and some typical towns and villages in our area. My parents and I will help her/ him to make Chinese meals, such as dumplings, noodles and other foods.
We have the confidence to make the American student feel at home and have some sweet memories.
Looking forward to your early reply.

“I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast.
“And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in town!”
George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.
Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow , old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window , thinking about his former rival. Perhaps missed him
George was very interested in old dictionaries, He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.

Dealing out a little hope
The young man at the local gas station is quick with a joke and knows his customers by name. He’s the kind of guy who will take a day off without pay in order to appear as a witness to a traffic accident. He’s my son.
One day, less than a week after the place had been broken into overnight, the store was suddenly invaded(闯入) by three people grabbing food off the shelves. He hit the “panic button”(按钮) and then went over the counter and locked the front door. It was obvious they were homeless.
Imagine what they must have felt like when, instead of being told they were headed for prison, they were told they didn’t have to steal if they were that hungry. “ We have food in the back, expired(过期的) but still safe to eat, that we plan on giving to a homeless shelter…”.
They were told to pick up what they had dropped and put it back, then asked to straighten out the mess they’d made of the store. They were doing just that when the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer necessary.
This wasn’t what they had expected. They were being treated as human beings who had screwed up(搞砸) but could right the wrong they’d done. Shocked, because they knew that the homeless were never welcome to use “public restrooms” in private businesses, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.
Soon three cleaner people, standing just a bit taller than before when they came in, walked out with all the food their arms could hold. They were reminded that, if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.
That day, when it would have been so much easier just to hand the three people over to the police and be done with it, my son gave them something they were in desperate need of—a small amount of self-respect and a little bit of hope.
60. Which of the following best describes the author’s son
A. Caring and flexible. B. Friendly and confident.
C. Smart and imaginative. D. Careful and strict.
61. How did the young man deal with the three homeless people
A. He handed them over to the police. B. He tried to persuade them not to steal again.
C. He asked them to wait till the police came. D. He gave them a chance to put things right.
62. How did the three people probably feel when they heard the young man’s words
A. Excited and safe. B. Surprised and grateful.
C. Frightened and hopeless. D. Shocked and disappointed.
63. It can be inferred from the article that _____.
A. the three people would never steal again
B. the police were angry that they had made a useless trip
C. the young man developed a friendship with the three people
D. the young man gave the three people something more valuable than food
C
When I was a child，I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city．We lived on a farm and，in the winter especially，we were quite cut off from the outside world．As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However，I soon discovered that city life has its problems too．
One big disadvantage is money—it costs so much to go out，not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution．I suffer from asthma(哮喘)，and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car，I seldom use it because of the traffic jams．One choice is to go by bicycle，but that can be quite dangerous．
Of course there are advantages．First，there is so much to do in the city，whatever your tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动)．Besides，there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position．Finally，if you like shopping，the variety of goods is very surprising—and，what is more，shops are often only a short walk away．
Is life better then, in the city Perhaps it is，when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However，as you get older，and especially if you have small children，the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
64．What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child
A．Staying on the farm． B．Moving to the countryside.
C．Leaving home for the city． D．Running away from the school.
65．Which of the following is true about the writer
A．He is very old now． B．He is in good health.
C．He prefers driving a car． D．He lives in the city now.
66．In the passage，the writer tries to_____.
A．express his opinions about way of life B．describe his life in the countryside
C．show an interest in the outside world D．persuade the reader to live in the city
67．How is the passage mainly developed
A．By inferring． B．By comparing. C．By listing examples．D．By giving explanations．
D
Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a.m. 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. 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.
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 me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."
68. 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
69. 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
70. 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.

little bit sweet, differ from Sichuan food that is rather hot. However, every kind of
the Chinese food is worth trying, because each has a delicious taste and good for
health. Since the restaurant in China usually serves special dish of different areas,
you can enjoy various Chinese foods whenever you are. I’m looking forward to
meet you here so that I can tell you more about Chinese food at table.
Best wishes.
