    Chloe Hawthorne, the owner of a famous restaurant, received a letter from her regular customer one day.

19th January

Dear Ms. Hawthorme

    I'm writing to express my disappointment with the evening my wife and I spent at your restaurant two nights ago. While the food was, as usual, very good. I regret (感到遗憾) to inform you that the service from our waiter, Max, was most unsatisfactory.

    First of all, when we arrived, we discovered our table overlooking the garden had been allocated to some other customers. The new table we finally received was by the door and when I complained, Max just laughed.

    Furthermore, as we were sitting down, he said too much to my wife, which deeply embarrassed her. When our meal came, he served the food carelessly and at the end cleared the plates in an awful manner

    I look forward to hearing from you with a satisfactory reply

Rupert Metcalf

    After reading the letter, Ms. Hawthorne left a message to Max:

Max, this is Chloe Hawthorne. I received a letter from Mr. Metcalf, one of our best customers. He complained about you in it.       

    Max wrote a letter to Ms. Hawthorne.

22ad January

Dear Chloe

    I'm really thankful that you want to listen to my side of the story.

    To start with. When Mr. and Mrs. Metcalf finally turned up, they were at least 45 minutes late. That's why the table was allocated to some other customers.

As for the other table by the door, I went to a lot of trouble to set it up. When they complained about it. I couldn't help laughing. But I have no reason to laugh at my customer.

    Another thing, this business about his wife. I only complimented (恭维) her on her dress. She didn't seem to mind.

    OK. I admit I forgot to clear the table the way I was supposed to I apologize if I have caused you problems, but I've been really popular at the Café. Hope to hear from you soon.

    All the best.

As a banker, Billy had never planted so much until he moved to the countryside seven years ago. Soon he became interested in growing and rented (租) a 30- by-30- foot land. One weekend, he planted tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants. He ended up with so many 1 that he couldn't eat them up. 2 he found a local food bank, and gave away 120 pounds of fresh vegetables in all. Moved by Billy's kindness, some people offered to help 3 .

The following year, together with several 4 , Billy planted and got 1,500 pounds of vegetables. All of them were given away to the food bank. Later he had more volunteers, rent more land and gave away more vegetables.

 Billy also 5 local school kids. On a Friday morning in May, 40 third and fifth graders walked onto one of his fields. Each of them had a spade(铁锹). They dug holes and6 put the plants in them. Although they got their clothes and hands 7 , nobody complained(抱怨).

" The activity makes kids know there are people 8 ," says Billy," and it plants the seed for giving back. When they are adults, it will be much more possible for them to 9 people around them to do something like this.

" Billy makes people want to 10 ," says Holly, a mother of two." And families love this. Billy has given us a way to raise our kids with a giving heart."

It's 6:00 p. m. Kate's family are having dinner. There is rice, eggs, salads, strawberries and some vegetables like tomatoes, onions and carrots on the table. But Kate doesn't like vegetables. She doesn't want to eat them and puts her bo wl away.

" Kate," says her father.

" Where are my hamburgers?" asks Kate.

" Don't think about them. We need to eat healthily," says Mom.

" How about some ice- cream, then?" asks Kate.

" Kate," Dad calls her name again. He thinks the dinner is nice.

Kate takes a bite(咬一口) of the tomato and quickly spits(吐出) it back into the bowl.

" Kate! Room! Now!" says Dad. He doesn't like her bad eating habits.

Kate runs to her room and cries, but she soon stops. Usually, her parents will get her some other food she likes if she doesn't eat dinner. So she waits.

At about 7:00 p. m., Mom tries to get Kate to eat some vegetables, but she says no.

At 9:00 p. m., Kate wants to eat something, but her parents still don't give her anything to eat.

At 10:00 p. m., Kate goes to the kitchen and sees some vegetables on the table. They don't look so bad. And you know what? They don't taste so bad, either.

Kate learns that she should eat health y food and live a healthy life.

 阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Once there lived an old man in a mountain village. He was a famous hunter. He often went hunting alone in the mountains. He was not afraid of any wild animals, not even a tiger. 

One night, someone saw a tiger come into the village, and stole two sheep away. The next night the tiger came again. The villagers were frightened. They asked the old hunter to catch it so that they could have a safe life. 

When the old man heard about the tiger, he thought hard. He wondered why the tiger came at night twice but only stole the sheep. The next night he walked outside the village. Suddenly he saw the tiger coming. He quickly threw himself on the ground. To his surprise, the tiger did not come at him. But went away. He followed it quietly and found it was running on two of its feet just like a man. Then everything was clear. 

On the fourth day, when it got dark, the hunter took some animal skins with him and hid himself behind a big tree near the village. He was waiting for the" tiger". As soon as the " tiger" came near the tree, the old hunter jumped out, caught the " tiger" by the "leg" and said, " Don't be afraid. I do not mean to hurt you. You know who I am, don't you?"

The " tiger" said " Yes" and took off the tiger's skin. 

"You are poor. But you mustn't steal anything from others. Here are some animal skins for you. You may sell them at the market. With the money, you can buy food and clothes for your family. Work harder and try to make a living. " With tears in his eyes, the poor man thanked the kind-hearted old hunter and walked home.
