A Dear Helen，How are you? I'm in Beijing now. I study in Bayi High School. I like Beijing very much. I have two good friends here. They are Rose and Xu Ting. Rose is from America and Xu Ting is from China.

We are in the same class. Xu Ting often helps me with my Chinese. So I can speak a little Chinese now. The teachers are all kind to me.

I like Chinese food here, like Guangdong food， Sichuan food and Shandong food. They are verynice. For breakfast,  I have milk and bread. My favorite food is jiaozi. I often have jiaozi for lunch and noodles（面条）for dinner. Sometimes（有时）we go out to have dinner. What about you?

Yours，

Linda

    Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis（蛹）. Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle（挣扎；奋斗） to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly.

    When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.

    Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock﹣climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

    Michelle and Ryan often stopped by a pet shop on their way home from school. They stopped for Sugar and Spice. Sugar and Spice were two cats that shared a cage. They were cute and played nicely together. Michelle and Ryan thought that they must be best friends like them.

    Things got busy at school, so Michelle and Ryan didn't have time to stop by the pet shop. How they missed seeing Sugar and Spice! One Sunday morning, Michelle went to the supermarket. Her mother asked her to buy some fruit. She was happy that she could stop by the pet shop to have a look. To Michelle's surprise, Spice wasn't there. She only saw Sugar. Maybe someone bought Spice and the two best friends would never be together again. She went home in tears.

    Two days later Ryan's parents held a birthday party for him. At the party Michelle, Ryan and their friends played games, sang and ate cake. Then came the best part—the presents. Ryan's dad brought out a small box with holes in it. Ryan carefully opened it and found Spice inside!

    Ryan was excited to have a new cat, but he was also sad that Spice was not with Sugar any more. Ryan's dad realized his sad feeling and motioned (示意) to Michelle's mum. Then she walked in with a small box with holes in it. The box looked just like the one that Ryan got. Michelle's mum asked Michelle if she wanted an early birthday present. But before Michelle could answer, Ryan took the box aside and Sugar jumped out! Sugar and Spice started playing together. Ryan looked at Michelle and said. "This is the best birthday ever!"

Are you always happy during your vacation? Many people may say "yes". But last week I had a bad vacation.

My parents and I took a bus to the Great Wall. We got on the bus at 7:00 a.m. But on the half way, there was something wrong with the bus. After an hour, it started again. It was about 11:00 a.m. when we got to the Great Wall.

We were excited when we stood on the Great Wall. My father took out the camera and wanted to take some photos. But just then, it started to rain. We had to go back to our bus. When we wanted to eat something, we found we left our food at home.

假设你叫Joe，你要去拜访你的笔友Mary，为此她写信给你，告诉你她家的路线，并附上了一份她家周围的地图，但是没有标出建筑物的名称。阅读并按要求完成各题。

Dear Joe,

I want to tell you about where I live. I love it and it's easy to get around. I have everything I need nearby. 

My house is opposite the park, where I spend most of my weekends. Sometimes we go to the cinema, that's on the other side of the park. There's a great shopping center next to the cinema. 

My mother works in the bank that's between the shopping center and the noodle bar. After school, I often sit in the noodle bar and wait for her to finish work. And when I want to post you a letter, we walk to the post office, which is on the corner, next to the drugstore. Sometimes my mother and I go to the bookstore round the corner from the post office before heading home across the park. 

Yours,

Mary
