Social Security Administration
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
Washing, D.C. O 20291

Dear Sirs;

I am writing to your office to attempt to determine why I have
encountered so many obstacles to receiving my proper monthly social
security allotment. The started ten months ago and has actually gotten
worse, making it extremely difficult for me to normal financial
obligations.

The first problem which I had to deal was simply getting a monthly
check from you, having to waiting four or five extra weeks giving me
fifty dollars than I should have received. Another check was mailed to me
at an address from I moved more than two years ago. My letter of inquiry,
which I sent to the Los Angeles office of the Social Security
Administration, never an answer, and when I finally telephoned I was
able to talk only with an arrogant clerk from the tone of whose voice I
could that he didn't want to be bothered with me. The blow is a letter
received from your office just yesterday which you state that my
allotment is discontinued, your records indicating that I am dead.

Beyond this letter of I have at least one other recourse: filing suit
the Social Security Administration, which I would prefer not to have to
do. I am asking you to please take steps are necessary to ensure that
from now on I receive my social security benefits without obstacles. This
letter is mute testimony to the that I am indeed not dead, legally or .

Thelma Spencer

Yours sincerely



Ⅵ. Reading Comprehension.

A
Times Square is like Piccadilly Circus in London. People walk quickly,
their faces down, their brows furrowed. This is the ce

nter of life for
many New Yorkers and for many visitors who see it for the first time. It
can be compared to the heart of the beast. It is vital and throbbing with
throngs of workers, students, and pleasure-seekers. Noises abound on all
sides, first a taxi honks, then a bus, then a policeman blows his whistle
and shouts to the crowds dashing across the street. In the distance,
church bells toll. Beneath their feet, the rumble of the subway can be
heard while the subterranean steam rises from the gratings in the sidewalk
to meet the cold air on the street.

1. According to the story, Times Square is __.
A. not unique
B. deserted
C. too cold
D. in London
2. The throbbing of Times Square is caused by __.
A. the subway schedule
B. the beasts who are there
C. the movements of the crowds
D. the circus
3. Which of the noise does one not hear in Times Square?
A. Church bells
B. Taxi horns
C. The wind whistling in the trees
D. Shouts from policemen
4. The steam mentioned in the story comes from __.
A. underground
B. the buses
C. the cars
D. the ships
5. The weather in Times Square at that time was __.
A. hot
B. windy
C. cold
D. snowy
6. How would you describe the faces of the people?
A. Smiling
B. Brows furrowed
C. Faces uplifted
D. Curious

B
The people archaeology concerns itself with are no longer alive. So the
archaeologist finds ways to “communicate” with them by studying the things
that they left behind, which are called artifacts. Deciding what to look
for, where to look, and how to evaluate what is found are all matters that
archaeologist must consider --- often even before any digging is done.
When the digging, or excavation, does finally begin, the archaeologist
needs great patience, skill, and training to be sure nothing is overlooked
or destroyed. Drawings and careful notes are made of every stage of the
excavation. Only after each find has been recorded in image and word can
the artifacts be removed from the site. For the truth is that archaeology
does not consist of fieldwork alone. It is in the laboratory that most
discoveries about past cultures are actually made.

1. With which of the following topics is the passage mainly concerned?
A. Archaeologists who are no long alive.
B. Artists and archaeologists.
C. Laboratory discoveries in archaeology.
D. The working methods of archaeologists
2. In line 2, the author uses the expression “communicate” to imply that
archaeologist __.
A. share news

with other scientists
B. receive information about people of the past
C. study the dialects spoken by ancient people
D. leave their discussions for a later time
3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a matter
archaeologists must consider?
A. The way in which evaluations are carried out
B. Where artifacts might be found.
C. How artifacts can be reproduced.
D. What objects should be searched for.
4. The word “drawings” in line 8 is closest in meaning to which of the
following?
A. Descriptions
B. Schedules
C. Photographs
D. Sketches
5. According to the passage, archaeologists derive the most knowledgeabout
previous civilizations from __?
A. laboratory analysis of the artifacts they find
B. discussions with their colleagues out at the site
C. observation of the work carried out at the site
D. notes they make during the excavation

Ⅶ. Paraphrase:

1. Russia has expanded its cargo-liner fleet far faster than the growth in
either its own trade or world trade would justify.
2. They make it harder to make a big killing in good times.
3. The Colonel, who is not too offensively an Empire-builder, sometimes
tries to talk to me about public affairs.
4. I want my fill of beauty before I go.
