Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me $ 12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office, “you sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me $12.”

       Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for Mary 22nd.” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sunburned,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

       “Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!” “That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three…”

       “I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”

       Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam.” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?” “Err. Well--,” the woman looked at the child. “I mean, she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”

       “A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…, let me see…$ 13. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe(欠) $ 1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”

PART FOUR  WRITING

SECTION A

Directions: Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.

   Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

The Chilean earthquake, measuring 8.8-magnitude, which struck early Saturday morning, released 500 times the energy of the 7.0-magnitude quake that hit Haiti (海地)last month, a geophysicist told CBS’ “The Early Show”．Tsunami warnings were issued for much of the Pacific, including Hawaii, following the quake that struck near the Chilean coast．

"When the earthquake occurred, it moved the land and then it moved the water causing the tsunami," said U.S．Geological Survey geophysicist Jessica Sigala．"And the coastal areas of Chile have already noticed the wave heights up to about 7 feet."

Sigala said Hawaiians can expect to see the waves from this tsunami around 11:20 a.m．local time (about 4:20 p.m．ET)．"So we have to wait and see how big the waves will be."

"It's not so much the height [of the wave] but it's the width, it's how long it lasts, and then it's also the speed at which it's traveling," said co-anchor Kelly Cobiella．"Correct me if I'm wrong, but these waves are traveling at the speed of a jetliner, about 500 miles per hour?"

"That's correct．It's a big block of water coming onto the land," Sigala said．

Chile has also experienced several aftershocks following the quake．

"Aftershocks are definitely another concern," said Sigala．"We always see aftershocks with a large quake and a shallow quake．Unfortunately, this one was both．And as of right now, we've located about maybe 15 aftershocks and those are of the larger kind．I'm sure they felt much more than that．

"A shallow earthquake just means that it happened pretty close to the surface," said Sigala．"And because of that the energy is really close to the surface, where all the buildings and people are."

50 deaths caused by aftershocks have been reported, according to the national emergency agency, adding the estimated casualties to 960.

第二节 读写任务 (共1小题,满分25分)

阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

It seemed no one cared about Steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic(酗酒) parents. In spite of his reading skills, he had been failing exams since first grade. Steve went unnoticed until Miss White.

　　Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful redhead, and Steve was in love! For the first time in his young life, he couldn’t take his eyes off his teacher; yet, still he failed. He never did his homework, and he was always in trouble with Miss White. His heart would break under her sharp words, and when he was punished for failing to turn in his homework, he felt just miserable! Still, he did not study.

　　Until one day, Miss White talked to him, “Steve! Please! I care about you!”

Suddenly, Steve understood! Someone cared about him!

From that moment nothing was the same for Steve. Life at home remained the same, but life still changed. He discovered that not only could he learn, but he was good at it!

After high-school Steve joined the Navy, and he had a successful military career. During that time, he met the love of his life, he raised a family, and he graduated from a college. Later he became a professor in a nearby college

　　You see, it’s simple, really. A change took place within the heart of one boy, all because of one teacher, who cared.
