Dear Kind-Trustee-Who-Sends-Orphans-to-College,

    Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train.It’s a funny feeling, isn’t it? I never rode in one before.

    College is the biggest, most puzzling place—I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will write you a description later when I'm feeling less confused; also I will tell you about my lessons. Classes don't begin until Monday morning, and this is Saturday night. But I wanted to write a letter first just to get acquainted.

    It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all—I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if these are not a model kind.

    Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave all the rest of my life, and especially how to behave towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.

    But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith? Why couldn't you

have picked out a name with a little personality? I might as well write letters to Dear Flagpole or Dear Clothes-line.

    I have been thinking about you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon. There are just three things that I know: I, You are tall. Ⅱ. You are rich. Ⅲ. You hate girls.

   I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather rude to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's rude to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Besides, being rich is such a very external quality. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; lots of very clever men get broke in Wall Street. But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I've decided to call you Dear Daddy-Long-Legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name we won't tell Mrs. Lippett.

    The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided into sections by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. It's very lifeful. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.

    Observe how precisely I obey rules--due to my training in the John Grier Home.

Yours most respectfully,

Jerusha Abbott

To Mr. Daddy-Long-Legs Smith

61.Jerusha felt “confused” because  

    A.she had never written to the trustee before

    B.she was not familiar with the college yet

    C.she could never find the way to her home

    D.she had never traveled on a train berore

62.Jerusha thought that she couldn’t be very respectful to “John Smith” because  

    A.he was a total stranger to her

    B.she was sure it was a false identity

    C.the name was too common

    D.nobody would like to be called that time

63.According to Jerusha, being rich may be      

    A.tentative         B.unimaginable      C.traditional        D.rude

64.The fact that her day is “divided into sections by bells” makes Jerusha feel   

    A.busy B.restricted by rules  C.pressed for time   D.full of energy

65.Jerusha decided to call the trustee Dear Daddy-Long-legs   

    A.in order to show her respect for him

    B.because it was one of his inner quality

    C.in older to make them feel closer to each other

    D.because she had always wanted a father

  Greenwich is on River Thames, five miles from the center of London, and its history is two thousand years old. The first English people were fishermen there, and named the place Greenwich, meaning “green village”. Later the English kings and queens lived at Greenwich in their beautiful palaces.

  The name of the earliest palace was Placentia. Its windows were made of glass-the first in England. Henry Ⅷ lived there. He knew that English must be strong at sea. So he started two big ship yards at Greenwich, and for 350 years the ships which were made there were the best in the world.

  But trouble was coming to Greenwich. In 1649, a war started in England and for eleven years there was no king. The men who had worked for him at Placentia decided to live in the place themselves. They sold all its beautiful things, and bought small pieces of the palace garden with money. Finally, the war ended and the King Charles II came back. But Placentia was falling down. So King Charles built a new and bigger palace, which is now open to public.

  At this time Charles was worried about losing so many of his ships at sea:their sailors did not know how to tell exactly where they were. So in 1675, Charles made John Flamsteed, the first astronomer in England, try to find the answer. Flamsteed worked in a new building on the high ground in Greenwich Park. From it, with a telescope which he made himself, Flamsteed could look all around the sky. And he did night after night, for twenty years. Carrying on Flamsteed's work a hundred years later, an astronomer called Harrison finally made a clock which told the time at sea, and helped sailors to know where they were. You can see Harrison's clock, still working, in Greenwich's museum of the sea. Because of Flamsteed's work, every country in the world now tells its time by Greenwich time.

1.What kind of trouble came to Greenwich in 1649?

[  ]

A.A war started in England.

B.Placentia was destroyed.

C.Ship yards were built.

D.King Henry died.

2.Charles made John Flamsteed try to find ________.

C.a way for sailors to tell their position at sea

D.a place to set up a telescope

3.Who made the first clock which could tell the time at sea?

B.Flamsteed.
C.Henry.
D.Charles.
