【答案】Dear Tom,
How are you getting on with your life? I’m planning to make a tour to your country and stay there for a month in this summer holiday, but I don’t really know much about it, so I wonder if you could do me a favor to tell me something I need to know when I am there, such as where to stay, what sightseeing to do and how to get there, and more importantly, what social customs I should pay attention to.
It would be better if you could arrange the travel route and general schedule for me, so that it will be much easier for me to travel there. I firmly believe that with your help I will have a good time there.
I’m looking forward to your early reply and I can’t wait to see you.
Yours,
Li Hua
【解析】本文属于英文书信中的私人信件。英文书信一般由以下六部分组成:信头、信内地址、称呼、正文、结尾、签名。一般说来,正文是书信的主体,题目已经给出书信的开头和结尾,以考察正文为重点。
书信正文的第一句话或第一段,通常被称为起首语。一般说来,人们习惯用一些客套的写法作为书信正文的起始,如果是回信,通常先将对方来信的日期、主题加以简单描述,以便使对方一看便知该信是回答哪一封信的。如果是第一次给别人写信,也可用开头语作必要的自我介绍。
英文书信的正文在开头直接说明写信人的身份及写信的目的之后,提出写信人的情况、想法或要求,并加以必要的解释或说明。如本文,开头直接写出写信目的,我准备暑假去英国旅游一个月,但是对当地了解不多,想要询问对方一些问题及注意事项,例如出行方式、住宿、游览景点和旅行路线等,最重要的是想要了解当地的社会习俗。最后表示感谢和期待。在写作时,语言直截了当,意思明确,层次清楚,言简意赅。
【本文亮点】1、本文开头即进入主题,直截了当。在询问英国住宿、观光等方面的问题时,作者意思明确,层次清楚,作者问到应该住哪里,去哪里观光,怎样去那里,更重要的是(and more importantly),应该注意什么社会习俗。2、长短句交替使文章错落有致,表意清晰。表示请求和建议的句型I wonder if you could do me a favor to tell me something…,和It would be better if you could…等,用的恰如其分。

【题目】American women who work as computer programmers, chefs and dentists earn 28 percent less than men doing the same jobs. Those are the jobs with the biggest wage differences between men and women, according to a new study.
On the whole, the study found that women earn 5.4 percent less than men for doing the same job, in the same location and for the same employer. The wage differences between women and men were similar in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and France.
5.4 percent is a big difference in pay between men and women because it cannot be explained by women and men taking the same kinds of jobs. It can only be explained by bias(偏见) against women, or other causes, such as women not being good at asking for pay.
Research suggests that women do not negotiate as well as men when it comes to pay. And women are generally more uncomfortable asking fellow employees how much they make, so they cannot see if they are being paid fairly.
According to the study, women earned at least 15 percent less than men in these job categories: psychologists, pharmacists, physicians, opticians, pilots and game artists.
But in the fields of social work, selling merchandise, research assistants and physician advisors, women earn more than men. In social work, women earned 7.8 percent more than men, the report said. That was the job category with the biggest advantage for women. It was still far less than the 28 percent pay advantage for men in some fields.
Comparing salaries for full-time workers, women earn only 79 percent as much as men. Over a lifetime, that much of a difference in pay can amount to a large amount of money.
Women only earned 57 percent as much as men in 1975. It is now up to 79 percent. That is progress, the report says, but not enough.
【1】Which of the following has the biggest pay differences between women and men?
A. A pilot. B. A game artist.
C. A research assistant. D. A computer programmer.
【2】Why do women earn less than men when doing the same job?
A. They are not good at negotiating for pay.
B. They care less about their pay than men.
C. Women look down upon themselves.
D. They don’t work as effectively as men.
【3】How much income do full-time women workers lose compared with men?
A. 5.4%. B. 7.8%.
C. 21%. D. 28%.
【4】What does the report think of the women’s pay?
A. It is growing rather quickly. B. It is rising but not satisfying.
C. It is not fair for women workers. D. It is reasonable for present situation.
