One possible version：
Miss Morgan,
I am so sorry that I won’t be able to attend the lecture on American history tomorrow afternoon. My uncle is returning home from France, and I have promised to meet him at the airport at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon.
I am very much interested in American society and history. I wonder if it is possible for the talk to be recorded, and if so, could I borrow the tape? It would mean a great deal to me to listen to the tape and make up for what is covered in the talk. I would appreciate it if you could allow me to ask for a leave of absence.
Thank you.
Yours,
Li Hua

If you are looking for a creative solution to a piece of work or a school assignment，don’t lock yourself up in a quiet room.
A new study suggests that moderate background noise is a better spur(动力) to creative thinking than the sound of silence，Time magazine reported.
A paper published in the Journal of Consumer Research says that the perfect working environment should buzz(嗡嗡作响)with a little noise.
Researchers found that test subjects were at their most creative when background noise was measured at 70 decibels，the level one might find in a busy coffee shop.
A nearly silent environment(50 decibels)was too quiet. Turning up the volume to 85 decibels (a jackhammer tearing up the pavement outside your building) was counterproductive-the noise became a distraction.
The researchers asked 65 students at the University of British Columbia，Canada，to perform various creative tasks while noises recorded at a roadside restaurant were played in the background.
In one experiment，scientists asked participants to brainstorm ideas for a new type of mattress(气垫). Test subjects had the most successful discussions when the noise in the background was noticeable but not too loud.
While a quiet environment may make it easier to read a book. the authors of the study say that moderate background noise creates just enough of a distraction to force people to think more imaginatively, without breaking their focus so completely that they can’t think at all.
Should we all head for Starbucks to get creative? Not necessarily.
Researchers found limited work time surrounded by the low-level noise of a coffeehouse is what really stimulates creativity.
Equally, working in a care environment isn’t good for everybody. The productivity boost was most obvious among those who were naturally creative to begin with.
1.The recommended level of background noise is__________.
A. 50 decibels B. 65 decibels
C. 70 decibels D. 85 decibels
2.Why is moderate background noise good for creativity?
A. It relaxes people and stops them from getting bored.
B. It can help people to focus on a subject.
C. It can absorb sudden noises that cause distraction.
D. It pushes people to use their imagination but doesn’t reach a level that disturbs them.
3.According to the last three paragraphs，___________.
A. the low—level noise of a coffeehouse may be too loud for some people to work with
B. if a person is not a creative type, then background noise may not be of so much help to them
C. a person’s own creative ability is as important as the environment they are in
D. working in a coffeehouse is effective for most people
4.Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?
A. Negative. B. Objective.
C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful.

Every September in China, people love to talk about the overprotective parents following their children around everywhere during university enrollment.
Now, with more than 420,000 youngsters in the UK starting their new college school year, what is their first day like? BBC’s Sean Coughlan described it in a recent report.
According to Coughlan, at the very beginning it is not hard to spot something familiar to Chinese–a stream of parents arriving with their sons and daughters at the student village. Mothers, fathers and a teenager–now most likely taller than they are – stand together like the three might have done on the first day of primary school.
“The approach road to the student village is a long traffic jam of family cars, stuffed full with boxes, pillows and nervous families,” he writes. “The door closes on a student’s room and parents and children go their separate ways. For many families, if childhood has a final moment, this is it.”
But saying goodbye to parents is not the only similarity between college freshmen in the UK and China. In both cases, new arrivals most want to know about their Internet connections. “It’s their most urgent concern,” notes Coughlan.
Even on their first day, university in the UK won’t be an entirely lonely experience for some new students. “Before they arrive they have been using social networking to get to know their future roommates,” writes Coughlan.
Still, the first night is something no UK university student ever forgets. There are people they meet and then spend three years avoiding and people who become their friends for the rest of their lives. First week stories are all about over-partying, bad cooking and misguided clothing, Coughlan says.
As he concludes: “These new students are entering their own soap opera of romance, friendship and ambition. It’s a huge adventure that they’ve worked for years to achieve.”
1.What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?
A. To introduce how UK students prepare for college.
B. To show different challenges that college freshmen face in the UK and China.
C. To describe how UK colleges welcome newcomers.
D. To inform us about what the first day of college is like in the UK.
2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. On the first day of college, UK freshmen don’t know each other.
B. When the new semester begins, most UK freshmen drive to college by themselves.
C. For many freshmen, when they say goodbye to their parents, they are also saying goodbye to their childhood.
D. Most British parents stay around their children’s colleges for a few days at the beginning of the semester.
3.A similarity between college freshmen in the UK and China is that ______.
A. the approach roads to their colleges are packed with cars filled with nervous families
B. they have contacted their future roommates through social networking sites
C. once they get to the campus, they want to make sure that they have access to the Internet
D. they spend their first week getting to know their roommates and partying
4.From the article, we can conclude that Sean Coughlan’s report is ______.
A. descriptive B. critical
C. sympathetic D. bitter

“Just take a deep breath.” “Don’t think about it.” “You’re more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.” These are just some words given to people with a fear of flying. But as Tom Cruise, playing Lt. Daniel Kaffee in the movie A Few Good Men, said, “I get sick when I fly because I’m afraid of crashing into a large mountain. I don’t think Daniel will help.”
But there’s a new application that just may. Today, the VALK Foundation, a Dutch group that’s a partnership between KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and the University of Leiden, launches the app in the US. The VALK Foundation was one of the first centers for research and fear-of-flying treatment in the world and is the organizer of three world conferences on fear of flying.
The foundation said the app, called Flight App VALK, is the first scientifically-developed, web-based treatment for people who suffer from mild to moderate fear of flying.
“The fear of flying application we have created aims to transfer all of the knowledge we have developed through our program into a mobile application that will help ease travelers’ fears,” said Dr. Lucas van Gerwen, director of the VALK Foundation. Dr. van Gerwen is also a psychologist and professional pilot with more than 30 years experience.
The foundation said up to 30% of adults are fearful fliers. The Flight App is designed to help relax passengers before and during flights by educating users about flight safety and turbulence. It explains the sounds and sensations they can expect during departure, flight and landing. And, if a passenger’s flight stress reaches a panic level, they press a special panic button which provides audio and written information to help decrease stress levels. Most importantly, the Flight App can be used during the flight in the airplane mode. Once downloaded, the program does not require Internet connection in the air.
1.By saying the words at the beginning of the passage, people are expected to ______.
A. decrease their fear of flying
B. get rid of their doubt about plane
C. have a good time on their flight journey
D. use some medicine to cure their fear of flying
2.Flight App VALK is aimed to ______.
A. help passengers experience the fear of flying
B. help relax passengers before and during flights
C. treat people who suffer from mild fear of flying
D. teach people the basic knowledge of taking flight
3.According to the passage, the VALK Foundation ______.
A. is a group focusing on psychology on the flight
B. was the first center to do research into fear of flying
C. organize the world conferences on fear of flying annually
D. focuses on researching and offering treatment on fear of flying
4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Many adults are suffering from fear of flying
B. It’s convenient for people to use the Flight App
C. Many planes will be installed with the Flight App.
D. The Flight App can decrease stress levels effectively
5.In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?
A. Culture B. Entertainment C. Technology D. Education

Once Napoleon stayed in a small inn. The next morning he went to thank the innkeeper. “I want to rewarded you,” said Napoleon.
“Thank you, sir. Will you tell me something as a reward?” said the innkeepers. “During the war, the Russians took control of a farm house which you were sleeping, so you hide yourself in a pile of hay. What did you feel then?”
