This is an open letter to the three people who stole my handbag from the department store I am employed as a shop assistant.
When you took my bag, I don’t know what you thought you were going to get. With my wages, there’s not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the ￡5 was useful to you. I have informed the social security office so you won’t be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won’t leave you too short．But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one of the two checks left in my check book．Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-cashing card is no longer valid(有效的), so it won’t be much use to you.
Actually I don’t mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that!
I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book．There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsiderate of you . I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you?
Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn’t even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather handbag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We’ve looked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.
I’m not really angry with you．I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel offended and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged（耸） their shoulders. “It happens all the time,” they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I’ve lost just a little more faith in human nature. And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, “Why? Mummy, why us?” I couldn’t answer that question. I wonder if you can.In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wants to __________.
| A．describe the contents of the bag in detail |
| B．give some suggestions to the three thieves |
| C．tell the thieves they could hardly get any money |
| D．state the fact that she was careless with the money |
Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer?
| A．The cash in her bag. |
| B．The papers and notes in the bag. |
| C．The handbag itself. |
| D．The check books in the bag. |
What can we conclude about the police?
| A．They have doubts about human nature. |
| B．They show sympathy for the woman. |
| C．They think the case quite common. |
| D．They are unable to find the thieves. |
Why does the author write the letter?
| A．To give the thieves a serious warning. |
| B．To complain about the fall of human goodness. |
| C．To call people’s attention to their belongings. |
| D．To express her affection for her valuable bag. |

Children are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly, today’s children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons （武器）, drugs and gangs. Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.
Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule （日程表）. At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours.
Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation. A recent study by the ITBS（Iowa Tests of Basic Skills）and TAP（Tests of Achievement and Proficiency）shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.
If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children? ”
Fact: A nationwide study using a random（任意）selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test.
Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile.
Collectively, the staff（全体职员）at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum（全部课程）. We’ve placed students in the top 2% of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college.
One study found that of the home schooled adults, 2% were unemployed, 2% were on welfare（福利）and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons.
For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at 1（877）532-7665. We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.
| A．many schools armed their students with weapons |
| B．violence and crime exist in many schoolyards |
| C．students use weapons to defend their schoolyards |
| D．weapons are more dangerous than drugs |
All of the following are true of home schools EXCEPT that _______.
students are free to choose their courses
B. students do well in important national tests
C. they help students find jobs
D. they help students to be independent What is the purpose of the text?
| A．To give information about different schools. |
| B．To compare home schools with other schools. |
| C．To suggest a new method of school education. |
| D．To persuade people to choose home schools. |
The advertisement is mainly aimed at _______.
| A．students | B．parents | C．teachers | D．adults |
Students of home schooling get higher scores than those in public and private schools ____ .
| A．in some subjects at every grade level | B．in part subjects at every grade level |
