Dear Sunday Globe,

I’m writing to you about your article in last Sunday’s newspaper, Cell Phones Make Life Easier. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of cell phones. They’re 【1】and very helpful in business. On the other hand, you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. Thus, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on cell phone etiquette (礼仪).

The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When talking face to face 【2】, you wouldn’t shout. In fact, the microphones in cell phones are so sensitive that you can be heard even if you speak【3】 .

Another point that needs to be made is to deal with personal space. I think it is very impolite to make calls in small spaces or【4】 rooms. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business.

Lastly, let me draw your readers’ attention to the dangers of doing two things at the same time. For example, cell phones and【5】are a bad combination(结合). Pay attention to the road!

Besides, cell phones can cause you to neglect good friends. Give friends who are with you your full attention. Turn off your cell phones and enjoy their company!  

Sincerely,

Amber Jala

22、Dear Flora,

We are in Australia for our summer holidays. We're having a great time here. Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. There is so much to see that it is impossible for me to tell you everything. Sydney is a beautiful city. There are many big trees and beautiful flowers around the houses and they look really beautiful. There are also some special animals in Australia, such as kangaroos and koalas. They are really lovely.

During the past three days, Marie, May and I have visited many places of interest around Sydney. I'd like to spend more time here. But we will fly to another city, Cairns, to see coral beds (珊瑚礁)tomorrow. It is said that words cannot describe the beauty of the colourful coral. Many famous cartoon films were made there. Now we are busy packing our bags so that we will not lose time when we leave. We can enjoy ourselves in Cairns this   time. I'm looking forward to going there!

23、The Voice of China has been a singing talent show on Zhejiang TV. It started on July 13, 2012. It even became the most popular program with people on Zhejiang TV. With so many talent shows on television, why was The Voice of China different? So, what was its secret?

The most attractive part of the show was the blind choice(盲选). It meant that the four judges(裁判) sat with their backs to the contestants,_making sure that the contestants were just judged by their voices. The show also had a famous group of judges, including the famous singers Na Ying, Liu Huan, Yang Kun and China Taiwan's pop singer Harlem Yu.

These years there have been a growing number of talent shows in China. Besides(除了) Super Girls, none has reached such success as The Voice of China. When the activity was over, many young dreamers were left in the cold again. The Voice of China hopes to change that. Lu Wei, publicity director(宣传总监) of the show, says that they plan to record the contestants' live songs into albums and sell in APP stores.

24、One afternoon many years ago, I sat down on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy would fall to the grass, get up, and without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.

When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they succeed.

While I was touched(感动的) by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run freely and to do it as well as he could. He was just being a child – just being himself – being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he fell, he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life.

He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about whether someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many parts in my life.

【1】From Paragraph 1, we know that the boy’s mother ______.

A. was strict with him B. had a special way to educate her son

C. didn’t love her son as much as others D. was too weak to help her son get up

【2】The underlined word “attempt” in Paragraph 3 may mean “______”.

A. try B. help C. support D. mistake

【3】The writer was touched by the boy because the boy ______.

A. might stop running when he fell down

B. never fell down if he made up his mind to run

C. didn’t care about the fall and went on running

D. was good at running and never fell down

【4】What can we learn from the story?

A. Falling down will make a person feel frightened from then on.

B. Falling down is the mother of success.

C. When others are watching, people fall down easily.

D. One will succeed if he / she is confident and never gives up.
