Dear Chengzifudao,

Yours,

【答案】

Dear Chengzifudao,

I am Li Hua, a senior high student. I am writing this letter to give you my feedback that the fifth math problem you published on your microblog not long ago is not rigorous enough. The answer made according to the requirements of the question is obviously contrary to the reference answer, so I have reason to doubt the preciseness of the question.

I suggest that you modify the title and send it after verifying the accuracy of the original data. I hope this letter can attract your attention. Thank you again for your efforts.

Yours,

Li Hua

TheChristmasSpiritStrikesAgain

(山东省淄博市2021—2022学年度高三模拟考试)I always dreamed of making a big surprise of a lifetime. Thanks to a little determination, some luck, and a generous helping of Christmas Spirit, my dream became a reality.

My family is Canadian, although my sister moved down to Australia a few years ago to study. She was graduating just before Christmas, but due to my own scholarly schedule back home, I would be unable to make it down in time for her graduation. She was understandably disappointed, and I felt guilty that I wasn’t able to be there for her on this most special of occasions.

While I was talking to my professor the week before my sister’s graduation, she commented,“Well, if you want to go, just go ahead!” I couldn’t believe my luck! I nearly jumped for joy.“Just make sure you get permission from administrator(行政主管),” she added. My heart sank. The administrator at my school was infamous for denying any sort of time-off requests. I almost didn’t bother asking, because I knew it would be a waste of time. But something in me decided to try, just in case. Maybe it was the hope that the Christmas Spirit would somehow affects the administrator at this time of year.

When I returned home to check the reply in my inbox, I steeled myself for disappointment. I held my breath, opened the e-mail, and started to read. And re-read, just to make sure I’d understood. Approval? I couldn’t believe my luck!

Immediately, I called the airline. Unexpectedly, even during the busy Christmas season, I was able to change my ticket to arrive the day before my sister’s graduation. With news this fantastic, I was bursting to tell my sister. But, fingers on the dial(拨号盘), I paused.

Wouldn’t it be so much more fantastic if I could surprise her? What a state of shock she would be in! Slowly a great idea came to my mind. I needed a much more dramatic arrival than just a ring of the doorbell. What if I could arrive in a box?

注意:

1.续写词数应为150左右;

2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

I started to plot.

I, hidden in the big box, heard the mailmen ringing my sister’s doorbell.

【答案】

I started to plot. Then, a great idea occurred to me: getting delivered in a box to my sister’s house! I knew if I pulled this off, my grand arrival would be the best Christmas present I could ever give my sister. I frantically started searching mail companies. Fortunately, I came across a mail company named Couriers Please and to my great amazement, their manager agreed to help me to fulfill my dream! The next day, they found a box big enough for me to hide in. The Christmas Spirit strikes again!

I, hidden in the big box, heard the mailmen ringing my sister’s doorbell. They announced they had a delivery for her. When the box was opened and she saw me sitting inside smiling up at her, my sister was at a complete loss for words and burst into tears. I would never forget the look on her face. It was such a gift to be able to attend my sister’s graduation to show her my love, and it was a memory that both of us would cherish forever. So, never underestimate the power of the Christmas Spirit!
