  “I don't see why I can't be the best person to write an advice column (建议专栏) for the students called Dear Amy! ” Andy said to Jenny, the editor (编辑) of the school newspaper. Andy agreed to do it if Jenny did not tell it to anyone else.

  At first it wasn't too bad. Most of the letters he received were interesting and quite easy to answer. Then came a letter from a person named Joe.

  “Dear Amy,” it began. “I'm in real trouble. I've wanted to be a songwriter all my life, but my parents won't even let me take music lessons. I have a guitar (吉他), but they both get angry if I play it. I've tried explaining (解释), but they won't listen. I feel sad. Should I run away from home? Maybe that will make my parents change their minds! ” The letter was written by “Joe”.

  Andy thought about this letter for a long time. Should he advise (建议) someone to run away from home? No. But didn't Joe have a right (权力) to be a songwriter if he wanted to? Andy thought hard but couldn't think out a good answer. Andy couldn't sleep. He just worried about poor Joe.

  In a reading room a few days later, Eleanor, a girl in Andy's maths class, sat down next to him and said, “You look a little bit worried. ”

  “I guess I do,” said Andy.

  “If you've got a problem, why don't you try writing to Dear Amy about it? ” asked Eleanor.

  Andy groaned (呻吟), but she went on. “I guess Dear Amy is rather busy with other problems. She still hasn't answered the phoney letter I wrote her last week. You'd better read it. It may make even the most hard-hearted person cry! It was thought to be from a songwriter named Joe. ”

(1) From the first paragraph (段落) we can see that

[  ]

A. Andy can't be the best person to write an advice column

B. Andy wouldn't like to do the work for the school newspaper

C. Andy didn't agree to do the work for the school newspaper

D. Andy would like to do the work for the school newspaper

(2) In the story, it seemed that ________.

[  ]

A. Jenny could not answer the letter from Joe

B. Joe was in real trouble and needed help

Andy groaned because ________.

A. Andy could not answer Joe's letter

B. Eleanor's advice made Andy hard to say a word

C. Joe's problem troubled Andy a lot

D. Amy was rather busy with other problems

(4) The meaning of the word “phoney” in the last paragraph is ________.

[  ]

A. rather difficult
B. not real
C. very strange
D. quite short

(5) The writer of the story mainly (主要) wants to tell us

[  ]

Linda and David have traveled by air from London to Sydney, Australia. Linda has promised(答应)her mother that she will ring her to let her know that they have arrived safely. This is something she had done ever since she was a child. David thinks it is not a good idea to ring so far, to spend too much, and to say so little. “If there was an accident,”He says,“they'd know soon enough. Bad news travels fast.”

  But Linda has promised that she would ring. However,she says,it doesn't cost much when you just think that it's the other side of the world. It's only six pence per second(每秒六便士).

 “If you're on that telephone for less than one minute, I'll eat my hat,David says, And one minute's nearly four pounds(英镑).

 “That's no more than you'd pay for a new hat. Linda answers.

  She has asked the man at the hotel(旅馆)desk to get her the number. The telephone rings. Linda picks it up.

 “Hello, Mom. Is that you?She says.

 “Six pence per second , David reminds(提醒)her.

 “Hello, honey. It is Mrs. Lee, Linda's mother, speaking in London. I can hear you very clearly just like you are in the next room. It's a better line than when you called me from your office. Do you remember? I shouted at that time, and still you couldn't hear me sometimes.”

 “Yes, Mom. Linda puts in. I just wanted to ring to...

 “I remember how you rang when you went to Betty's house to eat, when you were a little girl. And then when you…” Mrs. Lee is a great talker.

 “Nearly four pounds. says David.

   Linda tries to tell her mother that it is time to say goodbye.

 “Yes, all right,says Mrs. Lee,But you will write, won't you, as you did when you were at work...

  Once again, Mrs. Lee talks about the past, and there is no stopping for her.

 “Four pounds fifty, says David.

   At last, Linda cuts her mother short, promises to write, and rings off.

 “There! That wasn't long, was it?

 “Four pounds, ninety pence. David answers,And you didn't even say that we've arrived.
