III. Reading comprehension:

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process(进程) of getting. It was not until in

my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form.

One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard （偶然听到）our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said it was.“Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you.

V. Writing: One possible version Dear Sir/Madame,

I’m writing for more information about the day tour to London.

As a student at Oxford University, I’d like to know if you have any special price for students. As for the money you charge, does it cover the entrance fees for visiting the places listed? What about lunch? Is it included? Or do I need to bring along my own food?

How long will the tour last? Since I need to prepare my lessons for the nest day, I’d like to know the

time to return. Besides, is there any time for shopping? I really want to have a look at the big stores in London.

Yours, Li hua
