A Letter to the Editor(编辑)13 October
Dear Editor,
I am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hardworking or clever as my generation. I'll give you an example.
Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a. m.．It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers(青少年) sitting on the seats nearest me. I don't know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They slowly did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn't follow me.
I worried about the future of our country. How could these young people become responsible(负责的) workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this “lost generation”(垮掉的一代).
Franz Johnson.
Reply to Mr. Johnson's Letter
20 October
Dear Editor,
I read Mr. Johnson's letter about the problems of today's youth with much interest. He described teenagers on a train not giving a seat to a pregnant woman and her daughter. I was the woman. We must have seen things differently. I found the teenagers helpful and kind. Did Mr. Johnson see the teenagers help me off the train? Did he see them carry my shopping bags to a taxi for me? Did he see them friendly to my daughter? Obviously(显然地) not.
“Older” people often say today's youth isn't as good as their generation. Their parents said that about them. Mr. Johnson must accept that the world is changing and young people change with it. I find today's youth mostly kind and more fun than my generation.
Perhaps Mr. Johnson should really try to get to know some young people before he calls them the “lost generation”.
Linda Black.

听力原文：(Text 10)?
During the summer you should be even more careful than usual of the foods you prepare．Foods go bad faster in hot weather than in cold weather．When you are shopping buy frozen and refrigerated foods．Don’t make long stops on the way home, because frozen foods could become soft or warm．Using insulated bags helps keep food could until you can get home, milk and milk products should be refrigerated immediately．When camping or picnicing, or at any time when refrigeration can’t be made use of, use special dry foods．Don’t leave foods in a hot car or beach bag．Picnic favorites like meat, chicken, and egg salad should be kept in a cooler．Above all, if the food doesn’t seem to be normal in odor or appearance, throw it away immediately．Don’t taste it．
A teacher in New York decided to honor each of her seniors in high school by telling them the difference they each made. She called each student to the front of the class, one at a time. First she told them how the student made a difference to her and the class. Then she presented each of them with a blue ribbon imprinted with gold letters which read, “Who I Am Makes a Difference.”
Afterwards the teacher told the students to do a class project to see what kind of impact recognition would have on a community. She gave each of the students three more ribbons and instructed them to go out and spread this acknowledgement ceremony.
One of the boys in the class went to a junior manager in a nearby company and honored him for helping him with his career planning. He gave him a blue ribbon and put it on his shirt. Then he gave him two extra ribbons, and told him what it was all about.
Later that day the junior manager went in to see his boss, who had been noted, by the way, as being kind of a bad-tempered fellow. He sat his boss down and he told him that he deeply admired him for being a creative genius. The boss seemed very surprised. The junior manager asked him if he would accept the gift of the blue ribbon and give him permission to put it on him. His surprised boss said, “Well, sure.
The junior manager took the blue ribbon and placed it right on his boss’s jacket above his heart. Then he gave him the last extra ribbon, and repeated what the boy had told him.
That night the boss came home to his 14-year-old son and sat him down. He said, “The most incredible thing happened to me today. I was in my office when one of the junior managers came in and told me he admired me and gave me a blue ribbon for being a creative genius. Then he put this blue ribbon that says ‘Who I Am Makes A Difference’ on my jacket. He gave me an extra ribbon and asked me to find somebody else to honor. As I was driving home tonight, I started thinking about whom I would honor with this ribbon and I thought about you. I want to honor you.”
“I’m really busy around all day and when I come home I don’t pay a lot of attention to you and sometimes I scream at you, but somehow tonight, I just wanted to sit here and well, just let you know that you do make a difference to me. You’re a great kid and I love you!”
The startled boy started to sob and sob, and he couldn’t stop crying. He looked up at his father and said through his tears, “I was planning on committing suicide tomorrow, Dad, because I didn’t think you loved me. Now I don’t need to.”
72. What does the blue ribbon in the passage indicate?
A. Recognition of you from others. B. Appreciation for what you’ve done for others’
C. A sign of love and being loved. D. A symbol of respect.
73. Why was the boss surprised at what the junior manager said and did?
A. Because the boss was usually bad-tempered.
B. Because the junior manager was not afraid of his bad temper.
C. Because he didn’t expect his juniors to appreciate him.
D. Because it embarrassed him to wear such a blue ribbon.
74. The change in the boss implies that ____________.
A. positive comments work better than criticism
B. blue ribbons are a good sign of understanding between people
C. he would never be bad-mannered to his employees
D. everybody can make a difference to the world
75. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Who You Are Makes a Difference B. Blue Ribbon, a Sign of Acknowledgement
C. Bad Temper Can Be Changed D. Appreciation Can Prevent Juvenile Suicide

This topic is about greeting in China．A few years ago, people would greet each other with the words “Have you had your breakfast or lunch or supper?” “Yes, how about you?” Then politely, both would leave with a smile on their faces．
This kind of greeting tells us what people cared about many years ago．For many years, having enough to eat was the most important thing for the Chinese people．The life of most people in China has become much better now．They do not worry about their food and clothing any more．The greeting has changed to “What are you going to do?” or “Where are you going?”
Though the greeting has no other meaning than saying hello, it often puzzles other people who are not familiar with China．Nowadays, more and more people are using “How are you?” to greet each other．It is certainly the best way for people to say hello to each other．
18．What did people mostly care about many years ago?
A．Are you full or hungry?
B．Where are you going?
C．Good manners．
19．What does the change of greetings in China show?
A．People are less polite to each other．
B．People have bad manners now．
C．People’s life is better．
20．Which is the best way for people to say hello to each other?
A．How do you do?
B．How are you?
C．Good morning．
