Dear Irene,

Many thanks for your letter of 20thDecember to Waiming and me. Waiming’s mother sent it to us here in England. I thought I had better reply myself since, as you know, your brother is not very good at writing letters.

You asked whether Waiming’s application (申请) for a scholarship (奖学金) had been successful. Well, as you can see by now, it was. He is doing a one-year postgraduate course in world history here at Lancaster University. The little house we live in is near the university. We have to buy a used car which is necessary because the bus service here is poor.

We arrived in England at the beginning of September, and stayed in London for three weeks with my cousin Kwok, who owns a large restaurant there. This was the first time he had met my husband. Then we went to Cambridge for a week, where Waiming had to attend a meeting, and after that we came up to Lancaster and had two weeks to find somewhere to live and generally got organ iced before Waiming’s course began.

The weather has been quite a change from home. Last week we had some snow, the first we had ever met.

We get on very well with most of the English people we have met, although we had some difficulty at first understanding the northern accent.

Well, that’s about all our news. Waiming’s course is going well, and if he passes his exams we will be free to return home in July.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Love,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Sally

Dear Anne,

　　I write further to our conversation on the phone a few days ago. It was a great dialogue to talk to you on the phone last week. I hope things are well for you. Unfortunately, things really haven't changed here at all. He is still not helping me in the house. By the time I get in from work, it's 5:45 p. m. Then I've got to prepare and cook the evening meal, clear away and wash the dishes. Even then I am still not free, as I've got to do some homework then. I don't sleep until around half past nine, by which time I am very tired of course, while I am doing all these things, Steve sits in front of the TV and boils a cup of coffee for only himself. When I ask him to help, he just says that it is none of his business ! I feel I can't go on like this. I've only been married for four months, but I feel like a life time.

　　Sorry, the letter's been one long complaint(抱怨)—I'll write again soon with some interesting news if I have any.

Yours ever

Dear Wei and Li Lan,

　　Hi from Canada! We are having a wonderful holiday. We haven't seen a bear yet, but there are bears and deer in the forests around the lake where we're staying. The bears often go to the rubbish dump to look for food scraps. Perhaps we'll go sightseeing at the dump! We will need to be careful because bears are quite dangerous. They will attack if you surprise them, so people carry bells when they are out walking or biking to warn the bears away.

　　On our first night we saw an amazing fireworks show. It doesn't get dark here until 10 o'clock, so it was a really late night for us.

　　Last night we rode in a gondola 2,000 metres to the top of Whistler Mountain. It was like floating in a glass bubble; so peaceful and still. The city lights were beautiful.

　　Today we canoed around the lake, and had a very short swim. It was freezing. The weather has been sunny, but not like the weather at home.

　　Bye for now. We will be home next week.

Dear Editor,

　　Brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents．The problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas．By banning(禁止)all fast-food restaurants and discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop．

　　These people forget that when they were young, they could go to the South Street Soda Fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents．Today you can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than ＄2! Where can kids go for a snack?

　　There is not a single restaurant in Brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than ＄100．Add a 15％ tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly ＄125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about ＄12．Have you noticed that Brockingham families never dine in Brockingham?

　　Fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job．Fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners．Working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students．

　　The City Council claims that local businessmen, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist business．I agree that it is important to support local businesses, but I think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in Brockingham．

　　Another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store．If I need a tire for my bike, I have a choice of buying one at Surf and Peddle Sport Shop for ＄15 or driving to Parkersburg Discount Center where I can buy the same kind of tire for ＄9．Again, I think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city．

　　Wes Woodrow 9th-Grade Student at Brockingham High School

(1)

Why does Wes Woodrow write this letter to the editor?
[　　]
A．	Because the government bans all fast-food restaurants and discount stores in Brockingham．
B．	Because the writer can’t find an ice-cream soda anywhere in Brockingham for less than ＄2．
C．	Because a family of four can’t find a restaurant in Brockingham to eat dinner for less than ＄100．
D．	Because the writer has to travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store．

(2)

From the letter we can infer that ________．
[　　]
A．	the writer used to buy a lot of ice-cream soda
B．	the students refuse to work in fancy food restaurants
C．	the government’s ban benefits local businessmen much
D．	discount stores usually offer a discount of 40％

(3)

The underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 6 of the letter probably means ________．
[　　]
A．	cheap, not expensive
B．	surprising, not expected
C．	harmful, not helpful
D．	doubtful, not sure

(4)

One way the writer of this letter tries to convince the reader is by ________．
[　　]
A．	complaining that someone has to drive him to Parkersburg
B．	getting an after-school job in fast-food restaurant himself
C．	suggesting that many businessmen have the same opinion
D．	giving specific examples of the high costs in Brockingham
