参考答案：
Dear Li Lei：
I’m very glad to receive your letter today. How are you getting along with your study?
In your letter，you asked me whether you should buy a cellphone or not. In my opinion，it is unnecessary for a student. Why？First，sending or receiving short messages takes up too much time. Therefore，the time that you should spend on studies becomes shorter. Second，it is forbidden to use cellphones at school because sometimes you have to answer the call in class. As a result，your behavior may disturb others. Third，you may be disturbed by some unhealthy short messages. Finally，as a student，you have to ask your parents for the phone expenses，and they will have to spend more in supporting you than before.
In short，I suggest that you think it twice. Best wishes.
Yours sincerely，wang Fei

三、阅读理解
20. 阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Many people would interpret “the American dream” as “living like an American” --- a two-story house with a white picket fence (尖篱笆); a family with two cars; and two children.
However, the current economic situation is affecting the American way of life for 4.4 million people living in the US, according to a new census(人口普查) data. “It’s going to
have a long-term impact and to say it‘s going to end is optimitic,” says Cheryl Russell, former editor-in-chief of American Demographics magazine. “We’re just in the middle of a big transition.”
So what is the new normal?
*Marrying later. The average age of the first marriage has increased to 28.7 for men and 26.7 for women, up from 27.5 and 25.9 respectively in 2006.
*Fewer babies. There were 200,000 fewer births among women aged 20 to 34 in 2010 compared with two years before. This was despite the fact that the number of women of child bearing age had gone up by more than 1 million.
*Breaking up is harder. The number of divorces has been falling for 25 years as people wait longer or choose to live together before tying the knot. There were about 65,000 fewer divorces in 2010 than in 2008, a 7 percent decrease.
*Crowded living. Unemployment is forcing more people to live together. Ther number of households where people lived with “other s” climbed from 6.7 percent in 2006 to 7.2 percent in 2010.
*Going public. Private school enrollment decreased from 13.6 percent in 2006 to 12.8 percent in 2010.
*Fewer cars. The percentage of households without a car rose again to 9.1 percent against 8.8 percent in 2006. The percentage of households with two or more cars fell from 58 percent to 57.1 percent.

21. Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child’s lie is different from an adult’s lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.
“Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study. He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the child’s back. Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.
For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn’t. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.
Researchers have found that it’s kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. That’s because to lie you also have to keep the truth i n mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie —and lie successfully —is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.
36. What’s the purpose of children telling lies?
A. To help their friends out.
B. To get rid of trouble.
C. To get attention from others.
D. To create a popular image.
37. The underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “”.
A. tell lies
B. handle troubles
C. raise questions
D. do research
38. From the second paragraph we can know that .
A. which factors can reduce lying
B. why some lie more than others
C. it is normal for kids to tell lies
D. how lying changes as kids grow
39. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. children’s lies are the same as adults’
B. the better kids are, the more they lie
C. the older kids are, the more they lie
D. kids always keep the truth in their mind
40. What is NOT included in the passage?
A. The reasons why kids tell lies.
B. Which kind of kids tells more lies.
C. Experiments about lying of young kids.
D. What to do with lying children.
