Lee: Ned has done quite well with Pie House. His pies make you feel warm. But if you want to try something interesting, you should go to Pie Corner.

Froggie was a frog who never remembered where he had been. His biggest dream was to find the best pond to swim freely without worrying about water snakes. One day, Froggie hopped to a kitchen and jumped into a pot full of hot water. Froggie felt the burning heat and hurried out of the water as fast as his legs could carry him. “I almost died there!” Froggie thought.

　　

A few days later, Froggie went back to the same kitchen, totally forgetting he had been there. He again hopped into the same pot. This time, the water inside was cool. He looked around and thought, “There’s no water snake trying to eat me and I can have this place all to myself!” At that moment, Froggie knew it was his dream pond. What he didn’t know was that the water was warming up over a low heat.

　　

After thirty minutes of swimming, Froggie felt the water was warmer but he thought of this as a nice surprise. “This sure is the best place for swimming. I get to have a hot bath, too.” During his comfortable bath, the water kept getting warmer and warmer. Froggie was so comfortable that he fell asleep. And he never woke up.

What lesson can we learn from Froggie's story?
Life is too short; one should live it to the fullest.
Those who use their time well will win in the end.
People are blind to problems that slowly get worse over time.

He once almost lost a dear friend to a water snake.

I had a horrendous experience last Saturday.

That day, my family went camping near a big lake. While my parents were preparing dinner, my brother and I were playing by the lake. A dirty man appeared from somewhere, and his face was half covered by his hair. He walked to us and asked for some water.

When I gave him water, the bag he carried dropped, and things inside fell out on the grass. I saw a rope, a knife, and a baseball bat. The strangest thing was that there were also a woman’s shoe and a ring, and I’m sure they were not his. The man quickly put all his things back in the bag and looked at us angrily. At that moment, the picture of a man the police was looking for came to my mind. He was the crazy killer! I was so afraid that I could not move at all.

Luckily, before he could get any closer, my mom shouted from far away, and the man hurried off into the dark.

NOlympics in Munich

11/11/2013

People in the city of Munich have spoken their mind: they do not want to host the Winter Olympics in 2022. To the cities that fight for this chance, 28. The Olympics usually do a lot of good to the host city. The Games bring in jobs, visitors, and, most important of all, money. So why did people in Munich say no?

The Olympics 29 for people in Munich. For them, the world’s biggest sports festival could invite serious trouble. There would be a lot of building work before the Games, and during the Games, too much traffic and too many visitors. Life would become terrible and nature would be hurt. And 30: Munich hosted the 1972 Summer Olympics, and its neighbor, the mountain town Garmisch-Partenkirchen, hosted the 1936 Winter Olympics.

Still, the heavy price Munich paid does not worry the cities that are in the race to get the 2022 Winter Olympics. 31 , they are happy that Munich said no to the Olympics—their chances of getting the Games have become higher.

Dear Mr. Hush,

I just learned over the radio that you feel as bad as I do about the way people use their cellphones. Very often in public places, people speak loudly on their cellphone, and we have to hear about other people’s business. But who cares about that? Not me! Why should I know the life of people I don’t even know? It’s really nice that someone famous like you speaks out for a quiet living space.

And it’s even more wonderful to know that you yourself always talk quietly when you have to use the cellphone in public places. Thanks for NOT sharing what you are talking about. We have shared too much noise already!

A Person on Your Side

38.
What does that mean in the letter?
The cellphone.
Others’ business.
Talking with strangers.
Being quiet.
39.
What does the writer means by saying “Thanks for NOT sharing what you are talking about”?
It is kind to forget about other people’s mistakes.
It is dangerous to say something important over the cellphone in public places.
It is polite to use a low voice when you talk on the phone in public places.
It is wrong to listen to others talking on the phone.

Dear Sir,

I ordered a shirt from you last month. But there are some problems with it. First, the color is not as red as it is shown in the catalogue. I understand that the picture does not always show the real color, but it should not be that different. Second, I asked for a medium size because it is the size I usually wear. But your medium is so small that I have to give it to my younger brother.

I think you should be more serious about your business.

Truly,

Adam Rosen
