Paris—French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he would clear over 300 Roma camps in France. He will send more than 700 Roma back to their native countries, including Romania (罗马尼亚) and Bulgaria (保加利亚) in the next three months.
Many French people disagree with Sarkozy’s move. Some European countries don’t agree with the move, either. They say it goes against human rights. However, Sarkozy has made up his mind. Police have been clearing Roma camps.
Roma are also called gypsies (吉普赛人). They came from India. They left their homeland sometime during the 11th century and entered Europe in the 14th century. Today there are 2-5 million gypsies. Most of them live in Eastern Europe.
They traveled everywhere and made a living as actors, actresses, workers, and by selling goods from faraway lands. Most gypsies are very poor and their children don’t go to school. Some gypsies can’t find work so they make a living begging (乞讨) or stealing. The French government thinks gypsies bring a lot of social problems. That’s why Sarkozy wants them out of France.
Sarkozy’s move, however, won’t solve the gypsy problems in France for the long term. According to EU (欧盟) laws, the gypsies of EU member countries are free to go to another EU member country, like France. They can stay there for up to three months. Many of the gypsies will probably come back to France in the future.
【小题1】How many Roma will be sent from France to their native countries in the next three months?

Two good friends, Sam and Jason, met with a car accident on their way home one snowy night. The next morning, Sam woke up blind. His legs were broken. The doctor, Mr Lee, was standing by his bed, looking at him worriedly. When he saw Sam awake, he asked, “How are you feeling, Sam?” Sam smiled and said, “Not bad, Doctor. Thank you very much for doing the special operation(手术).” Mr Lee was moved by Sam. When he was leaving, Sam said, “Please don’t tell Jason about it.” “Well…Well…OK,” Mr Lee replied.
Months later when Jason’s wounds healed(愈合), Sam was still very sick. He couldn’t see or walk. He could do nothing but stay in his wheelchair all day long. At first, Jason stayed with him for a few days. But days later, Jason thought it boring to spend time with a disabled man like Sam. So he went to see Sam less and less. He made new friends. From then on, he didn’t go to visit Sam any more. Sam didn’t have any family or friends except Jason. He felt very sad.
Things went from bad to worse. Sam died a year later. When Jason came, Mr Lee gave him a letter from Sam. In the letter Sam said, “Dear Jason, I am disabled. But I want you to be a healthy man. So I gave my eyes to you so that you can enjoy life as a healthy man. Now you have new friends. I’m glad to see that you are as healthy and happy as usual. I’m glad you live a happy life. You are always my best friend... Sam”. When he finished reading the letter, Mr Lee said, “I have promised that I will keep this a secret until Sam is gone. Now you know it.”
Jason stood there like a stone. Tears ran down his face.

　　Mattie and Millie were two very old sisters. They lived at number 5 in our road. Mattie, 87, worked in the garden because she enjoyed that kind of work. Millie, 85, cleaned the house and cooked the meals.

　　One day Millie heard a sudden cry from the garden. Then her sister called out:“Millie, Millie! Come quickly!” Millie ran outside, “Why? What happened to you?” She asked. Mattie was on the ground, under an old apple tree.

　　“I think I've broken my leg,” Mattie said:“I can't get up. Help me, please.”

　　“How did it happen?”

　　“Well, I wanted to get those big apples from the top of the tree. So I climbed up. It was easy enough, but then a branch broke, and I came down very easily. We'll have to get the doctor.”

　　“You didn't think, did you?” Millie said. “That apple tree is very old. It's been there for forty or fifty years. The branches aren't strong enough… Don't climb it again.”

　　Millie helped her sister into the house. Then she telephoned the doctor.

　　“You haven't broken your leg,” the doctor said. “Stay in bed for a few days, I think it will be all right then.”

　　“She mustn't climb that tree again,” Millie said.

　　The doctor smiled at Mattie.“No, not that one,” he said, “climb a stronger tree next time.”
