I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal（校长）is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed．This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I am very sorry about this. Much love, Susan.

P.S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been! 24. Susan wrote home ________. A. to tell her parents about the fire B. to ask for a million dollars

C. to tell her parents she had failed her exams D. to tell her parents she had to leave school

25. In the letter, Susan told her parents that the principal was angry with her for the reason that_____. A. she had failed her exams.

C. to make them less angry at her real news D. to make them laugh

27. How true was the letter before the P.S.? A. Partly true. B. All true.

C. Completely untrue D. The story doesn’t really tell us.

By May，after three months, I had lost 22 pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds. My friends would say “Alice you look great !” or “ How did you lose so much weight? ”. Those compliments made me feel good and confident.

Soon I dropped to 110 ponds. A few of my friends told me that I need to stop dieting because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a present——a bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mum would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.

By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what? To make those who love me worried? Is it worthwhile to be thin?

Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with the dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.

28. The author’s mother went to her room to ________.

A. bring her some chocolates. B. tell her she missed her.. C. ask her to stop dieting. D. talk about her studies. 29. The author decided to stop dieting____ . A. when her friends told her to do so B. when her weight dropped to 95 pounds C. when her father left some messages D. when her mother had a talk with her 30. What does the writer want to tell us?

A. It is too expensive for people to lose weight. B. You will be healthy as long as you stop dieting. C. There is no model with a perfect body in real life. D. Being thin is not the most important thing in our life. 31. How did the author feel when she weighed 115 pounds?

A. Happy. B. Disappointed. C. Worried. D. Painful.

The popularity of bicycling continues to rise, and it is no surprise. It’s fun, healthy and eco-friendly. Maybe that’s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no fuel cost!

Hop on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new in your community. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. In many communities, you can bike to work and benefit from exercise without polluting the environment. You don’t even have to ride all the way. Folding bikes work well for workers who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you. Have you ever thought about bicycling across a foreign country? It’s a great way to experience another culture, see beautiful scenery and meet friendly people. Bicycle enthusiast Goran Kropp bicycled across not just one country but several. He rode a remarkable 11,000 km from his home in Sweden to Nepal and then climbed Mount Everest! And now, bicycling across a country to raise money for a charity or to advertise a cause is also popular.

To encourage people to bike, many cities in Europe have established bike-share programs. In Paris, for example, thousands of bikes are parked at bike stations around the city. Users can rent bikes at any station. The first half-hour of use is free. After that, users pay a small fee. When they’ve finished riding, they simply park their bikes at any station. For people who don’t want to drive, the bikes are an excellent alternative（替代品）to buses and taxis, which burn fuel and cause pollution.

As a result of the success of bike plans in Europe, they’re spreading to the US., Australia and other countries as well. Look for one in your city soon.

32. According to this passage, workers in some cities can take their bikes _____.

A. to concerts and festivals B. into their company offices C. to large recreational areas D. onto public transportation

33. When do the bike riders in Paris have to pay a fee?

A. When they damage the bikes in an accident. B. If they ride the bikes for over thirty minutes. C. After they receive a bill in the mail for a ride. D. Before they rent the new bikes at any station. 34. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that _____.

A. many people can use the same bikes B. the bikes aren’t likely to break down C. riders can keep the bikes for months
