do what we want to do instead of waste our youth.

参考范文： Dear Tom,

I’m Li Hua, a Senior 2 student of 18. I’m more than delighted to hear that you are going to make a pen pal in China.

I’m one of the top students in my school. I’m also a lively and optimistic boy, so it’s easy to get along with me. Meanwhile, I have a gift for communicating with others, which makes me popular among my classmates. More importantly, I have a good command of English and can speak English fluently. In my spare time, I like reading books, especially books about American history. Also, I’m especially interested in American culture. I’m sure I can be your good friend.

I’m looking forward to your early reply.

Yours， Li Hua 听力原文 （Text 1）

M: Good evening, I’m Charles McKay, and this is the 9 o’clock evening news. The top news is for sports fans. It was an exciting day in world soccer, Mexico beat France 7 to 6, in a close game that offered us plenty of excitement. The game between Canada and Argentina ended in a tie, 3 to 3. And in a game that’s still in progress, Italy is leading England 2 to 1, with 30 minutes left to go.

The war against cigarette smoking is heating up again. A set fo laws were introduced today that would make it illegal to advertise any tobacco product in any form of media. That means ads would be stopped from newspaper, magazenes, telvevisions and radio. The laws would also prevent tobacco producers from giving money to support sporting events. This is the strongest anti-smoking laws that have been introduced to date. Tobacca producers insist that the laws would be of no use. They say that in parts of the country where advertisng has been stopped, cigarrette smoking has actually increased.

And now for tomorrow’s weather: the morning will be dark with clouds, with

possible light showers. In the afternoon things should brighten up, which is good news for all the solar-powered home in this cold winter! Thanks and we hope to see you again tomorrow.
