Ⅲ.　　 China has developed so fast in recent years. I can feel it myself. I remember something about ten years ago. When I was in my childhood, my family didn’t have many kinds of food to eat. We could only eat a few fruits and vegetables. We didn’t get a chance to wear new clothes or eat meat except during the Spring Festival. People did nothing except playing cards in their spare time. But now our life has got much better. Not only do we have all kinds of food to eat, but also we can eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables. If we want to, we can wear new clothes every day. What’s more, our life of spirit becomes richer. In our spare time, we can do many things to relax ourselves, such as go traveling and do some sports.

10. M: Granny, could you tell me something about yourself when you were young?

W: Well, my family was very poor. I had to work in the fields all day. We didn’t have enough food to eat. Life was cruel for us at that time.

Q: What was granny’s living condition like?

9. M: Hurry up, Kate. The film will begin in ten minutes.

W: OK. I’m coming.

Q: What are they going to do?

8. M: I heard you took part in the social activities, Kate.

7. W: Mike, it’s time to have breakfast.

M: Mum, I have had it already.

Q: Where does the dialog happen?

5. W: Could you tell me something about Chinese teenagers in the past?

M: Of course. They had no chance to go to school and had to work to support their families.

Ⅱ. 6. W: How much will it cost for my daughter and I to go to New York?

M: It’s $ 120 for you and half as much for your daughter.

Q: How much should the woman pay for the tickets?

4. W: Do you know what the five mascots for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games stand for?

M: They stand for the five colors of the Olympic rings and together say,“Welcome to Beijing”.

3. M: Granny, did you do any farm work in the past?
