I’m writing to tell you the discussion we’ve had on whether the school should organize a spring outing for the students.
Yours truly.
Li Hua
参考答案：
Dear Headmaster,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had on whether the school should organize a spring outing for the students.
Opinions on the question are divided as follows: 70％of the students think that the school should organize the spring outing. They believe that the spring outing can make them enjoy the beautiful scenery of nature, which can broaden our vision and fill us with more kn owledge. They also say that the air in the open fields is fresher. What’s more, fresh air does a lot of good to our health.
On the other hand, the rest don’t like the idea of going out for a spring outing. In their opinion, time is very precious, so they have to grasp every minute to work hard at their lessons. Traveling costs much money. In that case, it will add to their families’ burden. Above all, no one can be sure of the safety of every student.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours truly
Li Hua
三、阅读理解
20. I had never given a thought to working on a newspaper. But when my husband decided to start one in our small rocky mountain town, I went along with the idea. I didn’t know how to interview anyone, take interesting photos, or even put a newspaper article together. So I took my camera and just started carrying it with me everywhere.
One Saturday morning, I went on a children’s hayride to get some shots of the local kids. I arrived early, so I could talk to the adults in charge, I needed to get some information to go with any picture I took.
After the kids were seated on the hay(干草), I had plenty of pictures of their smiling faces. I just stopped to chat with a lady who had her horse with her. She planned to ride alongside the wagon and keep an eye on things.
While I chatted with her, her horse turned to fully face me and gave me a big horse smile. He opened his mouth wide, showing all of his teeth. We all laughed and I asked the lady to make him do it again so I could take a picture. She said she h adn’t made him do it the first time and didn’t know how to get him smile again. ks5u
I stepped back, positioned my camera, and said to the horse, “Smile again for the camera,” and he did! He looked right at the camera and gave me a huge horse smile. In fact, I got two shots of him and he was willing to keep smiling at the camera.
Later on, we published the pictures of the kids and their hayride in the paper but the picture of the horse got the most attention. I have kept that picture in my photo album to this day. And proudly show it off every chance I get.
After that, I was always ready to go and get the story. I had learned how exciting and rewarding interviews and news photography could be. You may think you know your community pretty well. But wonderful surprises are waiting around you.

21. There are many reasons for people to study abroad. One is that you can have the chance to make yourself know about the culture of the place. Although we humans belong only to the same one species, we are divided into several races. 11And when countries are divided by oceans, naturally the way of life in that country is different from ours.
Once you are studying in a foreign country, you will slowly learn to speak the language of the place. 12If you want to ask for directions or if you are lost, it can be of great help.
13If you study in such places as Spain and the Philippines, there are lots of foreign sights to see.
Studying abroad will also give you the chance to experience a totally different curriculum(课程). 14
Studying abroad is also a memory that can be valued for a lifetime. 15Once you have made friends with your classmates, I’m pretty sure you will enjoy being with them in your ha ng-outs, in your parties, and even in helping out with each other’s homework.
A. This is an opportunity to make friends from other races.
B. Studying abroad also offers an opportunity to travel.
C. Different countries have different cultures.
D. A college course in the UK, for example, is not similar to the one we have here.
E. Learning the native language of the place can also greatly help you to go around.
F. English is spoken as a third language in many countries.
G. There are Africans, Europeans, Asians and etc.
