An e-mail to complain Here is an e-mail with a complaint from An unhappy customer in Canada. To:                           manager@tastytreat.com.ca Date:                        Monday, 7 October, 3.34p.m. From:                       raymondyuen@canada.net Subject:                    Complaint Dear Mr Price,      I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.      It was my son's birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7.30p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8.00p.m.,we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.      Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach (蟑螂) in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic (蒜). When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized (道歉) and took the food away. We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife's meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn't believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was made to pay.      The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology (道歉) from your impolite head waiter and a full refund (退款) for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending (推薦) it to anyone.      You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.      Thank you for your attention.                                                                                                                                  Yours sincerely                                                                                                                                   Raymond Yuen

First of all, I would like to (1)              to you. I'm sorry we have brought you so much unpleasure.In fact I wasn't at my restaurant when you last came to have dinner here. I believe (2)              in the email is true. I think my head waiter (3)             . He shouldn't treat you like that. I have decided to invite your family to have a dinner for free at my restaurant as soon as possible. I will give you back the (4)             . I'll also tell the head waiter to say sorry to you when you come. I will give a nice present to your son as his birthday present although his birthday has passed.

Thank you for your support.                                                                                                                                    Yours Sincerely                                                                                                                                    Alp Price

　　At nine o’clock the rich woman asked the singer to come up to the sitting room. When he came in, he saw all the guests（客人）sitting and waiting for him.

　　“We are ready now, Mr Brown.”said the woman, “You may begin.”

　　“Ready for what?” asked the signer.

　　“For your songs of course.”she answered.

　　“But I have sung already!” said Mr Brown, “And I can’t sing twice in one evening.”

　　“You have sung already!” said the rich woman in surprise. “But when? And where did you sing?”

　　“Just now, downstairs.”

　　“Really?” she cried.

　　“Yes, Madam. ”said the singer.

　　“I usually sing for the people after I have eaten with them, you know.”

1..My best friend in my class is very sad, because her mother is badly ill. I want to help her, but I don’t know what to do.

2.I always think about many things before going to bed, so I can’t fall asleep. I feel very sleepy and tired during the day time.

4. I want to decorate my room and make it more beautiful and comfortable,but I don’t want to spend too much money on it.

5.I bought a pair of sports shoes which cost me 1000 yuan. My grandfather knew this and he was very angry with me, because I spent too much money on the shoes.????????????? A．Don’t fight with him any more. You need to calm down and solve the problem with the teachers’ help.

B． First of all , you have to know that you aren’t old enough to know what real love is. Try to be an ordinary friend with him. You should pay more attention to your school work.

C．Old man had a hard time in the past, so they don’t waste anything in daily life. You should understand your grandfather first. Then you may say sorry to him and don’t waste money any more.

E．You can buy some cheap but beautiful cloth to cover the wall or old furniture. Put up photos you like instead of those expensive ones. Finally, keep your room clean and tidy all the time.

F．You could help her look after her mother and tell her the trouble is nothing, because all of her classmates will give her a hand as long as she needs.

Dear Gramps,
I was so upset last week when somebody stole my Super Racer from the park by your house. I called up the toy company but they said they have only red, blue and green racers. Dad called Cobb’s Toy Store today and found out they might have purple ones. Can we go there when I come to visit you next week?You and I were only gone for a few minutes to the shop down the street to get ice-cream and cookies. Maybe the thief was watching us. Mum was surprised when I told her the racer was stolen. She said she used to leave things at the park all the time when she was young. Once she even left her bicycle for two days near the swimming pool.
Tell Grandma that I like the food she made last time. Ask Grandma if we can have pancakes with sugar for breakfast when I come this time. I have packed in my towel, comb and soap. Tell her this time I won’t forget to pack in my toothbrush.
Love
Toby

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.

◆Try to use new informati6n immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"___________"

◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (記憶) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.

◆Write out what you need to remember ever and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.

◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that clay.

◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what's right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.

◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.

All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.

1.Which should be put in the blank (空格) in Paragraph 2？

A. Hello, Carlos. B. How do you do?

C. Hello, I am Sophia.  D. Glad to meet you!

2.What can help memorize a big number more easily according to the passage?

A. To store it in a computer.

B. To break it into smaller parts.

C. To discuss it with a friend.

D. To review it before you sleep.

3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Discussing with friends can help you remember things.

B. Always reviewing information can help you fall asleep.

C. Formulas and facts can help you learn about your brain.

D. Human beings can improve their memory by computer.

4.What does the sentence "Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory” mean?

A. You should tell others about your bad memory.

B. You should believe in other people all the time.

C. You should ask others to improve their memory.

D. You should have confidence in your memory ability.

 

Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Here is a story to tell you why.

One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch.  "What are you doing?" asked one of the visitors. "I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!" the boy answered excitedly.  The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.

The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass jar patiently.  Humming a song, he went on digging. The jar was full soon. Then he talked to himself calmly and proudly, "Maybe I can't finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process of digging !"

The boy's goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working!

Not every goal will be achieved.  Not every job will end up with a success.  Not every dream will come true.  But when you can't achieve your goal, maybe you can say, "yes, but look what I've found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!" It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.

1.What did the boy do after watching a program?

A．He bought a glass jar.

B．He started to dig a hole.

C．He played with some visitors.

D．He went on watching the program.

2.What did the older boys think of the little boy?

A．He was silly.                            B．He was strict.

C．he was strong-minded.                   D．He was energetic.

3.When did the boy find the stones?

A．Before he met the older boys.

B．When he wanted to give up digging.

C．After the older boys laughed at him.

D．As soon as he began to dig the hole.

4.What does the underlined sentence "It is in the digging that life is lived." mean according to the article?

A．Life is to make a big success.

B．Life is to find the colorful stones.

C．Life is difficult but colorful.

D．Life is on the way to achieve the goal.

5.Which is the best title for this article?

A．Enjoying the process

B．How to achieve goals

C．A journey through the earth

D．Dig a deep hole all the way through the earth.

When I was a kid, my dad worked in a shop in the center of our town. Sometimes, I went to the shop with him and I made a little pocket money by buying things for his workmates. But I never paid attention to all the things and people around me.

One day, as my dad and I were driving to the shop, I looked out of the window of the car and I saw an old man standing at the street corner. There was a rose in his hand, he was smelling the rose. For some reason, our eyes met and we looked at each other for about twenty seconds. There was nothing unusual about this man but the meet was unusual to me. Up to that moment in my life, I had given no thought to anyone on the street, in shops or anywhere else. I had no interest out of my family.

But I was interested in that old man. For the first time I had interest in a stranger. What kind of life had he lived? Where had he been in his time?

Once a great man encouraged us to “stop and smell the rose”. Now I want to tell these words to you. Stop what you are busy with and try to fully understand things and people in your eyesight. If you don’t care about others on your road of life, then you are missing your life itself.
