A

A brother and a sister have been reunited(重逢)after more than 60 years,thanks to a letter in the WelwynandHatfieldTimes.For years John Hannant kept a photo of his long-lost sister,hoping they would meet again.

Margery,the eldest of three children,had signed up with the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort,when John was still a baby.

The family lost touch and as many years passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts(下落).The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.

John,67,said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.

“That’s the one that made it,the letter to the paper,” he said.“It’s like a dream that comes true.The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the terrible floods.She wrote home to know if we were all right.My sister Dorothy wrote back,but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”

Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House,Mr Hannant decided to take action.

He and his wife Doreen traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue,Hatfield,which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.

Now 88,Margery was recovering from her heart operation,but immediately recognized her brother.John said,“It’s something I never thought that was going to happen but I always hoped it would.” As well as finding his sister,John has also discovered he now has a nephew,a niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.

The  English  language  is  changing,  and  you  are  responsible!  Whether  we  consider  changes  in  grammar,  spelling,  pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so. When  we  first  learned  basic  grammar  and  spelling,  perhaps  in  elementary  school,  we  might  have  gotten  the  impression that these things were sacred. The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate(准确的).

The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-developing thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take  many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed  greatly over the years and centuries,with  the  spelling  differences  in  different  countries  today  a  reflection  of  this.  While  the  language  of  a  thousand  years  ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.

The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British  and American  ways  of  pronouncing  certain  words.  In  addition  to  these  differences,  the  pronunciation  of  many  words  has changed  over  the  years  because  of  how  you  have  decided  to  pronounce  them.  For  example,  consider  the  word  "err." The  traditional  pronunciation  of  this  word  rhymes  with  the  word  "her."  Older dictionaries  show  this  to  be  the  primary  or  only pronunciation.  However,  in  recent  years,  more  and  more  people  have  been  pronouncing  it so that  it sounds  like  "air."

Another change in the language involves the addition and removal(清除) of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.

Of  course,  many  slang words have been just short-lived  fashions that  have  died  out  quickly.  Others,  though,  have been adopted by mainstream society and become  respectable,  as have many technical terms. So then remember,  the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.

                    D.   Grandparents Answer a Call

As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never pleased move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move to a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities. 

No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study grandparents com. 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family. 

“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of grate magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important to be near them, especially when you’re raining children.”

Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.

A. It helped her know more new places. 

B.It improved her living conditions.
C.It enabled her make more friends. 

D. It strengthened her family ties.

13.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs. Robinson’s decision?
A.The majority thought it was a trend.

B.Few people responded sympathetically.
C.83% believed it had a bad influence. 

D. 17% expressed their support for it.

14.What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A.They were unsure of raise more children. 

B.They were eager to raise more children.
C.They wanted to live away from their parents. 

D.They bad little respect for their grandparent.

15.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A. Get to know themselves better
B.Ask their children to pay more visits to them
C.Sacrifice for their struggling children
D. Make decisions in the best interests’ of their own

Endangered species(濒临灭绝的物种)

An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct(灭绝的).___16____Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.

Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. ____17____Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals’ homes and food supplies.

Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport.____18____

___19____We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties(惩罚). The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals’ body parts. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries (禁猎区), to protect animals from extinction by breeding(培育,饲养) more endangered animals, which they later release into the wild.____20____

A. So what can individuals(个人) and governments do to protect endangered species?

B. Eventually, all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.

C. Recent changes, however, have helped to improve the situation.

D. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution.

E. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.

F. If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protect these animals for future generations.

G. Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures becoming endangered species, like sharks.

  The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, Mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.

While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic（极好的） restaurants and cafes, etc.

However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.

One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy（仙女） and her deceased(已故的) grandmother granted（认可，同意） her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired（渴望）.

Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.

 She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city?”

 Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.
