Letter to Editor of TV Weekly
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read Alison Burnham's review of When we were 12, and I do not aGREe with her. I thought the programme was wonderful---I found the old news pictures really interesting--- they helped to bring to life the stories the people were telling.
The programme reminds me of many things from my own childhood. For example, one day when I was about five, I was gong to school on the bus by myself (this was the late 1960s). My mother had given me exactly the right money for a return ticket. I held out my hand with the money in it – one big coin on top of one little coin. The bus conductor took the big top coin only and she gave me a ticket, but it was a pink one for a single journey, I needed a white for a return journey, but I was too frightened to say anything. When school finished for the day, I couldn't catch the bus home --- I had to walk. As a grown-up, whenever I've been in a situation where I need to say something or take some action, this early memory of my bus ride comes back to me, and I'm able to take control of the situation.
I would like to say to the director, Bret Chrysler, carry on making this kind of programme. Too much TV these days in quiz shows and so-called “reality programmes.” I appreciate the human story that can make me laugh and cry.
Yours faithfully,
Chris Daniels
67. What is Chris Daniels' purpose of writing this letter?
A. To persuade Bret Chrysler to turn away from quiz shows
B. To entertain other readers with old news pictures
C. To express his appreciation of the programme.
D. To have his story told on the programme.
68. Chris Daniels tells the story about the bus ticket to ____.
A. describe how painful his early experience was
B. draw a direct response from Alison Burnham
C. show how the programme made him think
D. teach the readers of TV Weekly a lesson
69. According to the passage, Chris Daniels had to walk home because ____.
A. he hadn't got a return ticket
B. he had lost his bus ticket
C. he didn't like big crowds
D. he missed the bus home
70. What does Chris Daniels now think about his experience on the bus?
A. He should have told the conductor then.
B. He should have been well treated.
C. He reGREts going to school alone.
D. He wished it hadn't happened.
( E )
Storms
Several more rounds of fierce storms, tornadoes and floods struck many parts of the American Midwest and Northeast as bad weather continued across the US for a second month.
Monsoon Storms
A south-west monsoon has caused GREat damage in parts of Sri Lanka. Government meteorologists said that unexpected monsoonal winds blew directly across the country from the southern part of the earth at about 100km/h, producing several rounds of stormy weather. Nearly 250 houses in the capital Colombo were damaged.
Mt Etna Erupts
Sicily Mount Etna volcano erupted shortly after midnight on July 1, shooting “bombs" of lava(岩浆) on the eastern side of the mountain. The 30--minute eruption could be seen for several miles but did not threaten any nearby villages.
Hurricane
Hurricane Bias lost strength as it moved over cooler waters in the Pacific Ocean to the west of Mexico. Bias formed off southwest Mexico during the last week, but the outer part of the storm swept western Michoacan State, killing four people when their wood and cardboard home fell down.
Monkey Repellent
After years of unsuccessful attempts to keep crop-eating monkeys out of Japanese fields, a Tokyo research team believes that it may have finally found a way to prevent the damage caused by the monkeys. Animal ruin of crops were successfully prevented by shooting chilli(辣椒) powder into the air, irritating the eyes and noses of monkeys that passed in front of carefully placed warning sensors. "We've tried...all kinds of preventive measures, but the monkeys are bright enough to outsmart the tricks," said Toshiaki Wada, Director of the Tokyo Forestry Experiment Station in western Tokyo.

A Big Forest Fire
A terrible fire broke out at the end of January in a forest in the southwest of America. The fire, which resulted from the smoking of a careless young man, lasted three weeks and caused economic losses of about 20 million dollars. What's worse, nine persons lost their lives in the fire and about 80 were seriously injured as a result of the fire. Thousands of firefighters and local villagers fought together and they finally managed to put out the GREat fire. The fire astonished the whole nation.
In my personal opinion, fire is very important in our life but sometimes it can be very dangerous, so we'd better be careful with it. ( 112 words )
