Two teachers were sitting in the teachers' room. For a moment there was silence. Then one of them, Miss Smith, said, "I'm afraid I'd have to fail him! I just can’t let him   16  . "
"Now Alice," said her friend, Mrs Jackson, "is he so terrible a student?"
"That's just the trouble!" the other woman answered, "Tom was ever my   17  student. The problem is that he is so lazy that he never gets his work done. He hasn't handed me a piece of homework for three     18   !"
Mrs Jackson had never seen Miss Smith so   19  before. "Have you had a word with him about it?" she asked.
"Why should I? Every student must hand in homework. I made    20  very clear on the first day for class.  I don't know what has happened. When the lessons started, he did so well that I   21  thought about asking the school to give him a scholarship(獎學金). But now he often sleeps in class! I've never seen such a  22  in a student."
"You should have a talk with him. Give him a chance. "
Miss Smith spoke to Tom and learned all about it. He was studying all day and working most of the night in a factory to   23   for his schooling. Of course he was   24  in class and sometimes could hardly   25  awake. Miss Smith soon asked the school to give him a scholarship and he was able to devote himself to his lessons again.

Dear Nancy,
How are you? Now I want to tell something interesting. Last week we had a trip to Mount Tai. On Tuesday we went to Taian by bus, a city at the foot of the mountain. We had a good rest at a hotel. At about one o’clock early the next morning, we began to climb the mountain. It took us about four hours and a half to get to the top. The mountain is covered (覆蓋) with trees. I didn’t see such a beautiful place before.
“Look! The sun is going to rise!” my friend Lim shouted.
We all turned to the east and watched. Soon half of the sky because white, and a big, red ball was rising slowly. A few minutes later, the sky became bright(明亮的).
We stayed on the top and had a good time. After lunch we started going down. We got to the tour hotel at about four in the afternoon. Though we were tired, we were very happy. We came back to school the next day.
Thank you very much for your last letter and the beautiful postcards. Hope to hear from you soon.

Smiles and tears are part of life. But do you find enough time for smiling? I’m not asking if you experience lots of good times. Of course, we should smile during the happy times. But do you also smile during the difficult times.
Erma Bombeck is famous for her funny books. But she wrote one about a more serious subject –cancer in children. The book is titled, I WANT TO GROW HAIR,ＩWANT TO GROW UP. Erma talks with many children who have cancer and learns important lessons from them. She learns, for example, that cancer survivors know how they should smile at life, though they are receiving chemotherapy.
She tells about the experience of 15-year-old Jessica. Jessica’s leg was cut off at the knee because of cancer. She was learning to wear a prosthesis(假肢). Jessica told about playing soccer. She hit the ball hard with her foot. The ball flew off in one direction while her man-made leg flew another way. Then the brave girl lay on the floor, laughing happily.
As the saying goes, “There’s a time to cry and a time to laugh.” Do you find plenty of time to laugh.
You can smile if you find reasons to smile during the difficult times. Only survivors know how to smile. If you can smile even when you’re in trouble, you will make it. Remember to smile and the whole world will smile with you.

仔細閱讀，選擇正確答案。
Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along the line: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus gets to Souk Road, it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus every day?
The regulations（規(guī)章）say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers（乘客）and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted（數(shù)）the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service（服務）better?
A. a message        B. a talk       C. a story      D. a letter
小題1:The writer has to take Bus No. 49 because _________.
A．it arrives on timeB．it is not always full
C．it travels fasterD．it has fewer seats on it
小題2:How long does the writer usually have to wait for a bus?
A．Ten minutes.B．One hour.C．Half an hour.D．Nearly a day.
小題3:The regulations say that each bus may carry ______ passengers at most.
A. 20           B. 40       C. 60       129
小題4:From the passage we can see that __________.
A．the bus service was bad
B．no passengers took their buses
C．no bus passed Souk Road
D．the writer was always the first to get on the bus
