• Dear editor,
• I live in a beautiful city. Many visitors
  come to
• our city. There are so many colorful peacocks
  (??)
• here.
• The peacocks mostly live on the grassland
  of
• Dongfeng Square (??). They are given food freely
• by visitors. They usually throw food to them, and
  
• dont think about at all whether the food is
  right or
• not. Some of the peacocks became ill, some even
• died after eating the bad food given by the
  visitors.

5

• Im sure most of the visitors who throw
  food to
• the peacocks really like the birds, but dont
  realize
• (???) that they may be doing them harm (??).
• The visitors should be told that what they
  have
• done is very harmful to the birds, and this kind
  of
• thing must be stopped from happening.
• Perhaps we can build some small shops
  beside
• Dongfeng Square to sell peacock food. For us
  every
• person, its our duty to give more love to these
• beautiful birds and to look after them carefully.
  
• 
  Yours,
• 
  Sun Yan

  first
• job, which was office work. It was all rightbut

• looking for something else.
• Some girls have wanted to be nurses ever
  since
• they were children, but it never entered my head
• until I saw an advertisement in a paper. I wrote
  in
• and thought, Oh, well, Ill give it a try. One
  thing I
• liked about it was going away from home.
• The training itself is very interesting and
  most of
• it is just on the wards (??), so that you very
• quickly begin nursing real patients.
• I lived in the nurses home when I arrived
  and I
• had my own room, which was very nice.

11

• I like nursing more than I ever thought I
  would.
• Ill always carry on nursing. Ive got a
  boyfriend

  in the
• place and theres always a job for a nurse.

• looked carefully around Lees house. They found a
  
• black ear-ring near the open safe. They also
  found
• there was a lot of earth on the wet ground
  outside,
• but inside, the floor was very clean.

15

• The police first questioned George and
  Jenny.
• But neither of them agreed that he or she had
  taken
• the teapot. The police found Jenny was wearing a
• black necklace (??), but no ear-rings. When she
• was shown the ear-ring, she agreed it was hers,
  but
• someone had taken it away from her house a month
• before. The police then questioned Lee and, in
  the
• end, he agreed he had taken his own teapot. He
  had
• bought insurance (??) for it and would get two

• Jennys ear-rings and put one near the safe.

• Some people believe that schools will no
  longer be
• necessary in the near future. They say that
  because of the
• Internet and other new technology, there is no
  longer any
• need for school buildings, classes or teachers.
  Perhaps this
• will be true one day, but if the world has no
  schools, I cant
• imagine how our society will be. In fact, we
  should learn how
• to use new technology to make schools better. We
  should
• invent a new kind of school that is linked (??)
  to libraries,
• museums, science centers, labs and even
  companies.
• Technological companies should create (??)
  learning
• programs for schools. Scientists could give talks
  through the
• Internet. TV networks and local stations could
  develop
• programs about things students are studying in
  school. Labs
• could set up websites to show new technology so
  students
• could see it on the Internet.

20

• Is this a dream? No. There are already many
  cities where
• this is beginning to happen. Here the whole city
  is linked to
• the Internet, and learning can take place at
  home, at school,
• and in the office. Businesses provide programs
  for the schools
• and the society. The schools provide computer
  labs for people
• without their own computers at home. Because
  everyone can
• go on the Internet, older people use it as much
  as younger
• ones, and everyone can visit faraway libraries
  and museums
• as easily as nearby ones. How will this new kind
  of school
• change the usual way of learning? It is too early
  to be sure,
• but it is very exciting to think about it.
  Technology will
• change the way we learn schools will change as
  well and we
• will all learn something from the Internet.

• Jan Mela isnt like most kids. Two years
  ago, he
• lost an arm and a leg. But that didnt stop him.
• On Saturday, the 15-year-old boy from

• (??) walked to the North Pole (??) without any

  youngest
• person and the first handicapped (???) person to
• walk to the North Pole.

• help of a 62, 000-yuan man-made leg.
• After the accident, Mela felt sad for
  himself. But
• he didnt lose hope. One day, he met Marek
• Kaminski, a Polish explorer. Eight years ago,
• Kaminski went to the North Pole and the South
  Pole
• in the same year. Mela wanted to see the North
  pole,
• too. So Mela asked Kaminski if they could go
• together next time. Kaminski said yes!

26

• It took Mela 21 days to get to the North
  Pole.
• The last three or four days were really hard
  because
• of bad weather. But Mela kept going.
• I didnt think we would make it, he said,
  Then,
• things got better.
• 1. What happened to Mela two years ago?
• 2. Why did Polish newspapers report the travel to
  the
• North Pole?

He had an arm and a leg lost in an accident.
Because it was made by the youngest person and
the first handicapped person.
27

• 4. Where did Kaminski go eight years ago?
• 5. Why did Mela make the travel?

He walks with the help of a 62, 000-yuan
man-made leg.
He went to the North Pole and the South Pole.
Because he wanted to show that nothing is hard,
if you put your heart into it.
