Dear Mum and Dad，
I'm very happy to spend some time with Lingling's uncle in Hunan province，and I'm having a wonderful time here in Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area.It's very large，about 390 square kilometers，and it's a magic land of mountains，forests and rivers.It's famous for the strange shape of its all rocks.
Last night we camped by a small lake.During the night，I heard a loud noise，as if someone was laughing.I woke up Lingling and her uncle，and I asked them what the noise was.Lingling's uncle told us not to worry，and left the tent to find out what it was.After a few minutes，he told us to come out quickly.Then he pointed into the forest.It was a monkey.When it saw us，it jumped up into the trees and went back into the forest.
Tomorrow we're going to Mount Tianzi.I'll go back next week!Wish you were here!
Love，
Sally.

Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit (限速)?
If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk (象鼻) said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear( 矛 ) as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who took hold of the elephant’s tail, insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The last, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.
Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water (温水)in the third. Now put your left hand in the hot water. Put your right hand in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it is hot.There were _______ blind man who were trying to tell what an elephant was like in the story.
| A．two | B．four | C．five | D．six |
The man who touched the elephant’s ears must be very_______.
| A．heavy | B．thin | C．tall | D．strong |
The underlined word “it” in the last line of the paragraph refers to ___.
| A．your left hand | B．your right hand | C．the water | D．the bowl |
What makes people think about simple facts differently?
| A．People’s wrong ideas. |
| B．People’s different experience. |
| C．Simple facts are different sometimes. |
| D．People often disagree with each other. |
It can be inferred from the passage that we should__________.
| A．learn from the blind men |
| B．not agree about simple facts |
| C．never think about simple facts |
| D．never decide anything with one side |
Anna was excited about starting her first day in the new school. However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness(孤独)over the next few days. "Why didn’t anyone say ’hi’ to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!
What caused Anna’s problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don’t like talking with strangers (陌生人). So it’s your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how’s everything going?" In this way, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.
When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.
In fact, saying “hi” or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!What was Anna’s problem?

The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some cards cost up to ￡4,000. The first Japanese card has a value of about ￡28,000.
