    Dear Editor,

    　　I’m writing to ask you what has happened to our youth．They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation．I will give you two examples．

    　　Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9∶15 am．It was very busy so there were no free seats．There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me．I didn’t know why they were not at school．They were talking loudly and laughing．It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise．A heavily pregnant woman(孕妇) and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags．I expected the teenagers to let them sit down．They saw the woman but did nothing．I had to ask them to offer her a seat．They unwillingly did so but gave me a rude look．I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me．

    　　Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family．I was expecting to meet his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years．During dinner, we started talking about world politics．It soon became clear that they didn’t know much．They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy．All they knew about was the Internet and which singers were the most beautiful．In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe．

    　　I worry about the future of Germany．How could these young people become responsible workers and parents?They sit around McDonald’s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age．Maybe they have too much money．Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this “lost generation．”

    A Letter to the Editor(编辑)

    　　13 October

    　　Dear Editor,

    　　I am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hardworking or clever as my generation. I'll give you an example.

    　　Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a. m.．It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers(青少年) sitting on the seats nearest me. I don't know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They slowly did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn't follow me.

    　　I worried about the future of our country. How could these young people become responsible(负责的) workers and parents? They sit around McDonald's after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this “lost generation”(垮掉的一代).

    　　Franz Johnson.

    Reply to Mr. Johnson's Letter

    　　20 October

    　　Dear Editor,

    　　I read Mr. Johnson's letter about the problems of today's youth with much interest. He described teenagers on a train not giving a seat to a pregnant woman and her daughter. I was the woman. We must have seen things differently. I found the teenagers helpful and kind. Did Mr. Johnson see the teenagers help me off the train? Did he see them carry my shopping bags to a taxi for me? Did he see them friendly to my daughter? Obviously(显然地) not.

    　　“Older” people often say today's youth isn't as good as their generation. Their parents said that about them. Mr. Johnson must accept that the world is changing and young people change with it. I find today's youth mostly kind and more fun than my generation.

    　　Perhaps Mr. Johnson should really try to get to know some young people before he calls them the “lost generation”.

    Linda Black.

    1．Which of the following is the correct order of what happened?

    a) Mrs. Black wrote to the news paper.

    b) Mrs. Black got on the train with her daughter.

    c) Mr. Johnson asked the young people to give her seat.

    d) Mr. Johnson thought the young people might follow him.

    e) Mrs. Black took a taxi with her daughter.

    [　　]

    A．b), c), d), e), a)
    B．b), d), e), c), a)
    C．d), b), c), a), e)
    D．e), c), a), d), b)

    2．Mr. Johnson wrote the letter to ________.

    [　　]

    A．ask for help from the newspaper

    B．find the way to solve the problem

    C．show his worry about the young

    D．teach the young people a lesson

    3．In the second letter, Mrs. Black ________.

    [　　]

    A．told another story to support Mr. Johnson

    B．wanted to show her thanks to the young

    C．discussed the youth problem with the old

    D．called for the understanding toward the young

    4．W hat can we learn from the two letters?

    [　　]

    A．Young people enjoy fast food.

    B．People have different opinions about the young.

    C．Older people are more helpful.

    D．People should talk more about the same story.

    Geoffery Payne talked for the first time about the night when his wife was killed. The judge thought it was he who killed his wife. Now he wrote to a magazine from the prison about what had happened on the night of 13 October, 2007.

    I had to stay late at the hospital that night to do an operation. I finally left at about 11 p.m. I drove home slowly because the weather was terrible－ the wind was blowing and it was raining heavily. I was turning into our road when a man suddenly ran in front of my car. I almost hit him but I stopped just in time. I was frightened and the man looked frightened, too. I got out of the car but he ran away before I could ask if he was all right. It was strange.

    When I got home, the lights were on but it was very quiet. I called to my wife but there was no answer. Then I remembered that she was out at a concert.

    I was still very upset about what had happened on the road, so I made myself a drink. Then I went upstairs to have a bath. I saw that the window in the bedroom was open. This was strange because my wife always locked the doors and windows before she went out. She was afraid of burglars (夜盗者）. When I went to close the window, I found Ellen. She was lying on the floor. There was blood everywhere. I rushed over and felt her pulse but she was dead. I sat on the floor beside her body. I was too frightened to do anything.

    When I gained a bit of consciousness, the sky was getting light. I couldn't remember a thing about the night. In the morning I phoned the police. They arrived about half an hour after I phoned them. But it seemed like hours. During that time I tried hard to recall what had happened the night before. I couldn't stop thinking about the man on the road. What was he doing at that time of night in our quiet neighborhood? Why did he look so frightened? Why did he run away?

     

    56.   Geoffrey Payne was a _____.

    A. doctor          B. policeman        C. judge           D. taxi driver 

    57.   When Payne got home, he found _____.

    A. Ellen waiting for him                   B. the bedroom window closed

     C. A burglar in his house                 D. Ellen lying on the floor, blood all over

    58.   After he found Ellen dead, Payne _____.

    A. called the police at once                B. tried to find out the murderer

     C. called out for help                        D. was so scared that he could do nothing 

    59.   In this passage Payne tried to ____.

    A. say something about his family

    B. show he was very sorry for his wife's death

    C. make people believe the man in the road probably killed his wife

         D. tell why his wife was killed
