题目列表(包括答案和解析)

I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard(果园),looking up at the branches above me.It is one of the last days of summer.Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler.Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的).Others will be ready to pick soon.I think of my grandmother’s apple pie,and how I used to make it with her.She died last year,before the apple harvest,and I have not had her pie since.I really miss her.I hear bees busily humming about,visiting the late summer flowers.The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.

The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes.Above me,big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the w ind.School starts in another week,and time seems to have slowed down.

“Sophie!”calls my  grandfather.“Is that you?”I stand up,take his hand,and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard.We talk about apples,and bees,and Grandma.He tells me that he misses her too.

He puts his rough,brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close.“You know,Sophie,”he says,“I spent the morning in the attic(阁楼),and you’ll never guess what I found.It’s the recipe(烹饪法) for Grandma’s apple pie.I used to help her make it sometimes.I can’t do it all alone,but you used to help her too.Maybe between the two of us,we ca n work it out.Want to try?”

“But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.

“That’s true,”he says,“but nothing_is_the_same_without_Grandma.Still,I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie.What do you say?” I nod yes,and we walk towards home...towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen,making Grandma’s famous apple pie.

  To:manager@ tastytreat.com.Ca

  Date:Monday,7 October, 3∶34 p. m.

  From:raymondyuen@ Canada.Net

  Subject:Complaint

  Dear Mr Price,

  I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service.This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.

  It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7∶30 p. m.We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready.At 8∶00 p. m., we were given a table in the smoking section.I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables.A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.

  Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful.She gave us free drinks for waiting so long.Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty.When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach(蟑螂)in her vegetables.She was shocked and wanted to leave.At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic.When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.

  We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal.Nobody came.After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager.The head waiter told us that you were on holiday.I complained again about the horrible cockroach.He told me Janet had finished work.He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals.I argued with him but was forced to pay.

  The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund for our meal.It cost $ 68.Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.

  You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.

  Thank you for your attention.

  Yours sincerely,

  Raymond Yuen
