Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about your amusement park. Last weekend, my friends and I were very excited to visit your amusement park. However, when we got there, we saw a lot of things that disappointed and shocked us.

My first complaint is about the rubbish all over the ground like Styrofoam cups, cigarette butts, used tissues and so on. I could never believe that you could have such a dirty amusement park.

My next complaint is about your rides. How could you have opened your amusement park if you were going to open one or two rides? This is ridiculous. And also, the line for the rides was so long! It was too crowded and a lot of people were really tired waiting and it took us almost an hour just to get on the rides.

Another complaint is about your food stall. The food was too expensive! How could we buy a set of meal for lunch for about $125?

My last complaint is about the safety features for the rides. How could you not put up warning notice for children to fasten their seat belts? They could have been in danger and you could be responsible for all of this!

As the manager of the park, you will improve the situation. For example, you should place more rubbish bins so that no one will throw any more rubbish on the ground. Also, ask a technician to repair the rides that have problems so that more people will go to your amusement park and enjoy themselves. In order not to keep people waiting so long, you can add more fun rides. In terms of the food, you have to decrease the price and sell more food and build up more food stalls. Last but not least, put up warning signs to warn people about their safety before riding rides.

Yours faithfully,

Benjamin Potts

As a child, I had a library phobia (恐惧症). I associated going to the library with doing research for a school project or a book report. I defined reading as work, and books came from the library, so going to the library for fun was out of the range of my thinking. Hard as they tried, my parents could not get me interested in reading. They purchased a few of the Hardy Boys series.

The books collected dust. The closest I came to wanting to read was The Big Green Book by Robert Graves, with illustrations by Maurice Sendak, a gift from my aunt. Its lead character, a boy of about 8, my age, discovered a book of magic spells. I was fascinated spells were not in the book, but I drew an imaginary magic circle with a long stick in my bedroom, stood inside the circle, took three deep breaths and made up my own spell. I never became invisible, which was my goal. This was my favorite book. I read it again and again. Certainly no need to go to the library.

Eventually, I started reading novels in my 20s. To avoid going to the library, which was only seven blocks from my Brooklyn home, I joined various book clubs. I didn’t mind having to buy a book a month as long as I didn’t have to go to the library.

My library phobia was cured 23 years ago when my family moved to Long Island. The East Meadow Public Library, a two-block walk from our home, became a regular destination for me and my family. My children were introduced to books through the children’s section w ith free programs that even my wife and I enjoyed. My children made friends, and my wife and I made friends with the parents.

My library card is faded, the edges are ragged and I renew my membership time and time again. I have given up mail-order books, and when I go to a store that sells books, I snap（拍照）pictures of the book jackets that enthrall me and put the book in reserve at the library.

4. What can we learn about the book The Big Green Book?

A. It appealed to the author’s parents.

B. It contained some magic spells.

C. It is a gift from the author’s uncle.

D. It inspired the author with some ideas.

5. What did the author prefer to do rather than go to the library?

A. To read novels.

B. To go to book clubs.

C. To start a school.

D. To purchase books on his own.

6. What made the author fall in love with the library at last?

A. He moved to a new place.

B. He formed a new family.

C. He wanted to meet targeted people.

D. He discovered a bonus of the library.

7. Which can replace the underli ned word “enthrall” in the last paragraph?

A. puzzle

B. frighten

D. escape
