One possible version:

Dear Joy,

I was very glad to receive your letter on January 11th. At your request, I’ll tell something about my school life.

In Grade 3 at my senior high school, I have six subjects, that is, Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry and PE.. School hours usually begin at 8 am and end at 4 pm. After class, we have sports, such as ball games and so on, or do some reading in the school library. After school, I don’t usually go home at once. I have joined the School English Corner, where students can practice oral English with the foreign teachers and other students. Every afternoon, I spend one hour there before I return home.

Nantong is a really beautiful city. Welcome to Nantong.

I’ll appreciate it if you can also tell me something about your school life. I'm looking forward to it.

With best regards.

Yours ever,

Li Ming

43．B。考查主旨大意。文章一开始就提出了全文的关键句“There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process”。全文都是围绕这-命题展开讨论的，所以B项作为本文的标题最合适。

[对话填空]

42．D。第三段里详述了作者所提倡的有利于个人成长的东西，仅D项是作者所不赞成的。

41．A。见上题解析。

40．C。第二段集中阐述把个人成长视为过程的人的观点。从最后一句“this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.”暗示C为正确答案。
