23、Dear Tommy,

I'm in Paris now! Mom, Sally and I came here to visit my uncle. We are having a wonderful time. Dad didn't come because his company (公司) sent him to work in Japan last month. He will have to stay there until November.

For Sally and me, it's our first time to come to France. We are so excited! Last week Mom went to different shows alone. She used to study in Paris, so she knows the city well. Sally and I visited many interesting places with Aunt Susan. Although we can't speak French, it's OK. Aunt Susan and Uncle Tyler can speak both French and English.

Yesterday afternoon, Mom, Sally and Aunt Susan stayed home cooking dinner. Uncle Tyler took me fishing. We drove for an hour and finally arrived at his favorite lake. First, we walked around the lake looking for a good place to fish. Uncle Tyler said we should fish from the top of a large rock.

I was so interested in catching a fish that when I threw my fishing line and hook (鱼钩) out, the rod (鱼竿) went with them! Uncle Tyler got my rod out of the lake. Then he said that next time, I should wait until he put bait (鱼饵) on the hook.

We fished for two hours and my uncle caught four fish. He is a fantastic fisherman. The only thing I caught was a cold. I can't wait to go again soon, so I can become a great fisherman like him.

Yours,

Frank

25、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

A person has two ears but only one mouth. That means we should listen, not just speak. The word “listen” has the same letters as the word “silent(沉默)”. 【1】  silently is a good quality(品质) that we should have. Then why is it important to be a good listener?

When someone is under too much 【2】  from his work or study, he may show his poor feelings. It’s easy for him to get upset or angry. At this moment, we need to listen quietly first 【3】 he gets calm(冷静的). Then we may have a good talk with him. Maybe it is a good way to help him 【4】.

Sometimes, we may think our parents are always talking too much. But in fact, they do so because they are worried about our health or just expect to help us if we have difficulty 【5】  our study. If we listen carefully and patiently, our parents will feel we care about them. A loving silence is often more powerful than words.

Sometimes, we just want others to listen to us but forget to listen to others. If so, don’t be 【6】  when others get unhappy suddenly( 突然). That’s because you are not polite(礼貌) and you may not realize it. In order to show our respect( 尊重)for others, we’d better listen to them first. Then we can tell them 【7】  we are thinking.

Easier said than done. Every head is a world. So we should learn to listen with our ears, eyes and hearts as much as we can, and try to 【8】 ourselves good listeners from now on.
