Dear John,

Thanks for taking care of my apartment while I’m away. Please feed the cat and the fish every day. The cat food is in the kitchen and the fish food is next to the cat food. Also, could you please check the cat’s water bowl? The bowl is next to his food dish. (83) The fish food is __________________.

Please water the plants twice a week. (84) 你能在星期四的时候把垃圾扔了吗? They come for the trash then. Please check my mail box for me on Wednesday, too.

If you’re hungry, have some chocolate cakes. It’s in the refrigerator. You can help yourself to the orange juice in there, too. (85) Please don’t forget to lock the door when you leave.

Thanks again for your help.

Mary

    Hi．my name is Christina Baum．I’m a fourteen-year-old German student．I’m writing to tell you about an experiment we are doing at school with our science teacher．At the beginning of this school year，Frau Keller showed us films and we read articles about problems in the environment. One day she said．“I want to know what you think．Please don’t tell me what we should do or must do．(83)Tell me what each of you will do to protect the environment．”

    She asked us to choose a topic．make a weekly plan and tell the class about it．Then we had to do things to be“green”and write a report about our success．Some students said that they thought it was impossible for a single person to contribute to the protection of the environment．Someone else said that scientists should work harder to find new ways to produce energy．

   Frau Keller said that it is everyone’s job to care for the health of the planet．(84)After the first week everybody in class was excited about the project and wanted to continue to improve their results．Someone suggested telling the other classes in the school．Now all 768 students at Hermann Stein School are working on the project．At the end of the year，our class will write a report about what we have done．

    (85)下星期我将会考虑怎样不会浪费水或者污染水．I’m planning to try and use less water every day，and also not use so much of the things that make it dirty．Every time I turn on the tap(水龙头)I must think about how much water and soap I use．

  It was a beautiful day．There Was no cloud，and the weather Was warm．Trees just turned green，flowers came out．Young people were walking after breakfast，children were playing on the grass happily．（4）Mr. Brown saw an old man standing alone under the tree with a big umbrella（伞）in his hand．

    Mr. Brown went up and asked him，“Do you think we are going to have rain today?”  “No，” said the old man．”I don’t think so．” “Then are you carrying the umbrella because the sun is too hot?” ” No，the sun is not very hot in this season．”

    Mr. Brown looked at the big umbrella again，just then the old man said，“I'm old and my legs aren’t very strong for walking far away．I must have a walking—stick．（5）But young people will think I'm too old to do anything．When I carry an umbrella in such fun weather，they will laugh at me and say I’m stupid（愚蠢），but I don’t mind．"Mr.  Brown said。“Oh，I see．You’re never too old．It's important for US young people to understand me old people．Now let’s have a walk together，will you?” The old man said， “Thank you。let’s go!”
