“BANG”the door caused a reverberation．“Never set foot in this house again!”shouted father．With tears weiling(涌出)up in my eyes，I rushed out of the hofase and ran along the street．

    A young father who held a child in his arlzis walked past rile．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and harmonious(和谐)

    But now I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．

    1 wandered the street，without a destination in my n'nnd．My heart was frozen oil this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people m the streets，until I had only streets to keep me company When I finally reached the high rise apartment block in which I livegt，I saw that the light was still on．

     I thought to myself，“Is father waiting for rile．or is he still angry with me?”

    In fact，it was nothing．Perhaps，Dad was throwing some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had th,e courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．

    All the lights were off except father’S

    Dad was always 1ike this．Maybe he didn’t know bow to express himself．After shouting at me，he never showed any mercy or regret After an argument he will creep(蹑手蹑脚)up in my sleep and then tuck rile underneath the covers

    This was how he always was．Fie has been a leader for So long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．

    The fight was still oil With the key in hand，1 was as nervous as 1 had ever been．At last，I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that l had imagined between us did not exist at all Love－it is second to none．

下面是某外语系主任汪丽邀请史密斯教授去该校讲学的邀请信。假若你是史密斯教授，收到来信后，请按下面要求写一封回信。

1．婉言谢绝邀请；2．简单告知原因（自己设想）；3．字数80---100。

Dear Professor. Smith,

It has been said that you gave an excellent lecture at Xiangta University last month on Modern English-American Literature and I ask you to give the same lecture to the students in our college. We should like to hear your views on it. If you would rather choose another topic in the field of Linguistics (语音学), we should be equally interested.

Possible dates would be Monday, 31 th March, or Monday 7th April but if neither of these is suitable, perhaps you youself would suggest a date convenient to you in May. If you find this invitation acceptable, please let me know the date and time when you would like to come, and of course we'll send a car to pick you up from your hotel.

I know how busy you must be with your work, but I do hope you will be able to spare time to come and talk to us.

Yours Sincerely,

Wang Li
