Dear Toby
Thank you very much for your letter. Your trip so unds exciting! I can’t wait to hear what Africa is like.
Since my last letter to you, I had a little 53 of my own. Early this month, my mother and I took a 54 to Dunhuang, in the north-west of China. The 55 out there was really quite amazing—I had never seen so much sand in my life! While we were there, we 56 with a tour company to ride camels. I was very excited because this was the first time I had seen one up close. We had hoped that we would get to see some other 57 on our trip, but sadly we didn’t. Since you are going to the Sahara, I have some advice-----be sure to bring a large hat and a shirt
with long sleeves -----you’ll need these for 58 . The sun can be so 59 that you’ll need to keep covered or you’ll get burnt-----my cheeks were so red for days after my trip. And another thing, you’ll need to keep a good 60 of water with you, since it is so dry and hot.
I am sure you’ll have a nice trip. I look forward to receiving your postcards!
Best wishes

Part ⅣWriting .
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Failure in a relationship, business, career and exam or sudden loss of a close one can make us lose patience and calmness. However, the only person who can help you keep calm is you! You have to find the cause of your problem and then work on it. Here are some tips on how to be calm.
Steal some solitary (独自的) moments from your life! Go to a calm and cool place, maybe your local park, a less-visited restaurant or any place that can give you some peaceful moments with yourself. Simply sitting on cool green grass under the limitless sky can make you feel relaxed. If you can't find any place, it’s also a good idea to dim (使暗淡) your drawing room light and sit relaxed on your sofa.
Talk to the “inner you”! Open your mind, effortlessly, without a calculating and judging mind! Don't let yourself be troubled by any belief and thought. It's not so simple. But if you just do so, you’ll slowly develop an inner peace. Of course, this doesn't mean that you’ll stop the daily work linked to thinking! Carry your life as you’ve been, but just sometimes, sit and order your mind to relax.
Learn to manage anger! Avoid the things that cause so much stress that it leads to uncontrollable anger. Self-talk can teach a person how to change that inner voice from an aggressive (好斗的) voice to a problem-solving voice. Walking away from a situation until you have better control over your anger will help you avoid creating situations that may grow into dangerous situations.
In short, there are many ways to be calm in any situation. Keeping calm is one of the most important things you can do for yourself. Not only will it be good for your health, it can also help you have a better relationship with other people.
