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

　　　 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

Planning a Camping Trip

　　In July, my friend and I are taking a camping trip. We will travel for four weeks and will tour the United States and part of Canada. We have decided to camp because it does not cost as much as vacationing(度假)in hotels.

　　We had to plan very carefully. First, the car we are going to drive is very small, so we decided to take only one small suitcase each and as few camping things as possible. We will take some medicine with us, to prevent insects(昆虫)from burring us, and also food for picnics. Second, there is a lot to see in the United States and Canada, so we had to decide on the direction(方向)we wanted to drive.

　　All of this planning took a long time.

　　The date we are leaving is July 2. We want to see and do many things on our camping tour. We want to climb in the mountains, visit famous caves, and swim in cool mountain rivers.

A Solemn Moment (庄严时刻)

　　

　　It is usual at international soccer matches to play the national anthems of the competing teams.

　　The players line up (列队) in the center of the field and the anthems of their countries are played through loudspeakers.

　　It is a kind of good manners given to visitors from other countries.

　　A few years ago, Greece was playing R. O. Korea in an important international soccer game.

　　As is often the case with international sports events, the game was not played in either team's home country.

　　It was played in a third, “neutral (中立的)” country.

　　As the two teams walked onto the pitch, music was played to the crowd over the loudspeakers.

　　The R. O. Korean players immediately stood to attention (立正).

　　They all thought it was the Greek national anthem.

　　The Greek players knew it was not their national anthem, but they stood to attention too.

　　They thought it was the Korean national anthem.

　　The spectators (观众) were surprised by the behavior of the teams and wondered what was happening.

　　Then, as all the players stood to attention, a voice came over the loudspeakers.

　　Only then did the spectators and the players know that the music was an advertisement for a new brand toothpaste (牙膏牌子).

2．Where was the soccer game in this story played?

[　　]

3．Who hears the music played over the loudspeakers?

[　　]

4．What did the team from Greece think when the music was played?

[　　]

A．They thought it was the Korean national anthem.

B．They guessed it wasn't Korean.

C．They knew it was a toothpaste advertisement.

D．They thought it was the national anthem of a third country.

5．How do you stand to attention?

B．Which your hand behind your ear to show you are listening.

C．With your arms by your sides and your legs together.

D．Ready and waiting for the kick-off.
