2、

Dear Sir,

I'm writing this letter to tell you something about Miss Li. She lives alone, but she never feels 【1】. It's because she often volunteers her free time to clean up the city parks, give out notices, repair or fix 【2】 bikes or wheels for students.

Miss Li used to be a doctor. She understands the difficulty of the 【3】 people, so she cares for them very much. One day she came up with the idea to help and 【4】 up the blind and the deaf. She put off her marriage(婚姻) and called up several volunteers to set up a hospital for them. “Life is a long 【5】. I always get a strong feeling of satisfaction when I help others. The signs of joy on their faces make me 【6】. I believe I can make a difference to this world,” she often says.

Now she is carrying out a new plan to 【7】 money to train animals. After training, she wants to give away the animals to the disabled people. “【8】 you can't see or walk. What's your feeling? We should open another 【9】 for the disabled,” she once said to us.

Does she interest you? I hope many people can change their life because of her 【10】.

Best wishes!

Yours,

Miss Wang

22、I travelled to Canada one summer with students from my French class. It was my first trip outside the United States. It was exciting because I could finally speak the foreign language I was learning and I could hear native speakers (说母语的人).

Canada is an excellent place to practice French for two reasons.

First, most people in the French-speaking part of Canada can speak both French and English. I can use French when I’m ready. There wouldn’t be much pressure. If I have something very important to communicate, they can understand me if I speak English. 

Second, people there like it when you try to speak French, even if you only speak a little. They hold French in higher esteem (认为……更高贵) than English.

Interestingly enough, although I wanted to communicate in my newly learnt language, I soon found I could hardly use any of the words I have learnt when I tried to use them. We learnt the accent (口音) used in France, but the accent used in Canada is different from what we learnt. It sounded a little strange to me. And many words are completely different.

Although I didn’t get many opportunities (机会) to practice French in Canada, I’m still thankful for this experience.

【1】Where does the writer come from?

A. France.   B. Canada.

C. The USA.   D. The UK.

A. he liked talking to people in French

B. French-speaking people there are friendly

C. his friends would help him to communicate

D. people there could speak both English and French

【4】The writer talked about ______ difference(s) between French used in France and Canada in the passage.

23、Derek Redmond

It was the Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992; the semi-final of the 400 metres. The sun was shining and the crowd were ready for a great race. British athlete Derek Redmond was a top runner: he had a very good chance of winning a medal.

The race began. At first, Derek was running well. Then, after about 150 metres, he felt a pain in his leg. He fell down on one knee. He had a bad injury and couldn’t carry on. The other runners went past him and finished the race.

After about five seconds, Derek got up and started to run again, on one leg only. Some organizers tried to stop him but he kept going. The crowd stood up and started to clap. Then another man came onto the track—Derek’s father, Jim. His father put his arm around him and said, “Derek, you don’t have to do this.” Derek replied, “Yes, I do. I have to finish.” And so together they walked the last 50 metres and crossed the line.

When he finally crossed the line, Derek was crying and 60,000 people were cheering him.
