To son, Cecil,

Just a quick note before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a

little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the war on Terrorism (恐怖主义). On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually(最终) have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldn’t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the war there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how difficult it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am

2

so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn’t happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don’t make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again. 23. The writer of the letter may be ______.

A. an American policeman B. an American soldier in the battle field C.a soldier in the Vietnam War D. a postman working far away from home 24. Keiko is the ______ of the writer. A. wife

B. son

I ran into quite a few language problems while vacationing ( 度假) with my family last summer. The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. They looked at her in amazement, not knowing how to react. You see, Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. But in Britain, “pants” means underpants or knickers( 内裤；衬裤), not trousers as it does back home.

She explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor.

David — From Britain

When I asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and “rest”. It took me years to get through to (使...明白)someone that I only wanted the toilet!

Tom — From America

Last summer we went on a two-week family touring holiday, so Dad hired a car over the Internet. This was an old vehicle and there turned out (结果是；证明是)to be lots of things wrong with it. When he phoned the hire company and tried to explain that the lock on the boot was broken, they thought he was talking about footwear! He had no idea their word for “boot” was “trunk”. In the end we went to a garage and just solved the problem.

1.【答案】去掉of。 \"I'm reading \"是修饰the book 2.【答案】Have改成Having

3.【答案】that改成which。\"that might not be served until 8 o'clock at night\"是一个非性定语从句，that不可以引导，所以将that改成which。 4.【答案】becomes改成became 5.【答案】day前加the

指\"白天\"，所以前面加\"the\"。

Dear friends,

As we can see, the environment around us is getting worse and worse. Our life and health have been affected greatly. The earth is our home and we have the duty to take care of it,

11

not only for ourselves but also for our future generations. Fortunately, more and more people have become aware of this problem. Many effective measures have been taken to deal with it.

I think we should follow the following advice. First, go to school on foot or by bike as often as possible. Second, never throw rubbish here and there so that we can enjoy a clean environment. Third, save water, for it is the source of life. Fourth ,turn of the light before leaving the room. It is time that we should do something to protect our environment. Only by taking care of our earth today will we have a more beautiful tomorrow.

Thank you!
