We took the same bus but didn’t know each other’s names. I used to think it was impossible for us to be true friends. How wrong I was! Smiles from the “nameless” people have changed my thoughts.The first time on the bus, I saw different faces, we met, greeted and cold faces turned into smiling faces. As days went on, we chatted like old friends.But I felt it a pity that I was unable to set up the same friendship with a silent girl in the front of the bus. Her old clothing suggested that she didn’t have much money, but she always took a cup of water for the driver. I guessed she was a kind girl. But why did she sit in silence instead of talking with us? Why did she never reply to our friendly greetings? Couldn’t she smile?Then, one evening, I got the answer. I walked to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone under a tree, lonely and sad. I greeted her with the same warm smile that I had shown to her all these months, but this time her face turned red with a shy smile. As soon as she began her first words, I understood why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.I learned her story: Her parents worked hard somewhere. She lived with her disabled grandparents. She said, “I can’t express myself very well. Most of the time, I can’t say what I want to say. I have no friends but… you always smile to me like an angel…so I also want to smile.” That evening, we exchanged our names and we said goodbye like old friends.Smile is the key to opening the door of heart; it can break the cold walls in front of us.8.

The main idea of the passage is that __________.( )A. we should help those silent peopleB. smiles can deal with every difficulty we meetC. we should smile to the nameless people on the busD. smiles can help us get closer and understand each other betterDMany American presidents in the 19th century were born in poor families. They spent their childhood in little wooden rooms. They got little education. Washington and Lincoln, for example, never went to school and taught themselves. Lincoln once did jobs as a worker, a shopkeeper and a post officer in his early years. A larger number of US presidents had experiences in the army. The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Grant was a general(将军) in the American Civil War. It happened that they came from the same school—West Point Military Academy(西点军校). One may be surprised to learn that both of them didn’t do w ell in the school. Eisenhower, for example, was fined(罚款) because he broke the rules of the school.The jobs of the US president are tiring. He must keep an eye on everything important which happened both at home and abroad. Every day, a lot of work waited for him to do and he had to make many important decisions. When FranklinRoosevelt was a child, he was once brought to visit President Taft. The old president said to him,“When you grow up, you should not be a president. It’s a tiring job.”12.

As for your choice between the two courses, I prefer the four-week course because of this will give me more time to do some traveling but make a few new friends. Of all the subject I’m learning at school, I like English best. I had learned English for 6 years but my spoken English remains poorly. So I hope to take this chance improve it. If possible, I’d like to stay with a family in a few days in order that I can know some customs in England, that I’m particularly interested in. I believe I will have wonderful time in this summer.Yours truly,Li Hua。
