We moved away from my grandmother when I was eight years old．I missed her a lot．I was her favorite granddaughter and she was my favorite grandma．
Two years later my mother and father separated and soon divorced．I felt as if my world was falling apart．I lived with my mother for a time，next door to my grandma and grandpa in an apartment while my father was away during World WarⅡ．
Grandma never had much in the way of money or material things．But it was the little things she gave me that let me feel warm，like letting me dip my fingers in the sugar bowl，letting me sip the coffee from her cup or allowing me to sit on the table as I had meals．
Though she didn't have much，she did something for my brother and me．I will always remember she saved her coins in a glass jar．I thought my grandma could have used these coins herself，but she saved them to give us when we came to visit her．
I don't remember how much we collected on our visits，nor was the amount（数目）important．It was the idea that she remembered us，and cared about us when we were away from her．

In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport （交通） are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Pads, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt （尘土） of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights.” they say.Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?

| B．People in the countryside have nothing to eat. |
| C．People in the countryside don’t have much work to do there. |
| D．Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside. |

| A．Because they will find good jobs. |
| B．Because they are tired of living in the city. |
| C．Because they can make more money there. |
| D．Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields. |

Dear Alice,
I just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model（模特）.
Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn’t see. I can’t eat what I like, even though I’m very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece （侄女）, you have to know that money is nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
EmmaWhat was Emma surprised about?

How long does Alice still have to study in high school?
