I ve been revising for my exams now for the last two weeks. That s why I haven t written for such a long time.Since the beginning of this year we ve been doing a project called World Class. Have you heard of it.? Not everyone in the class could take part, but luckily I could. The school chooses a twin school (姊妹學(xué)校) in a different area of the world. Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda. They gave us someone to write to from that school. For three months, Ive written to a girl called Louisa, who is the same age as me.It s been more interesting to hear about her life. She s told me all about her school and described her daily (日常的) life. I can t believe that her School doesn t. have any electricity. She goes to school from eight o clock in the morning until six. Oclock. in the evening. I can t believe how lucky we are here! She s also told me that she often can t go to school because she has to look after her baby brother and sister. Shes tried to teach me some of her language and it s really difficult.I love it because it s the first time I ve thought about what life must be like somewhere else. I can t believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us. I think more people should help out with projects like this. At the weekend we re going to have a sports day to help raise money to send to the school. Perhaps one day Ill be able to go to Uganda and meet Louisa myself-who knows?Lots of 1ove,Suzanne（1）Suzanne hasn t written to Estelle for long because she is .A . travelling in UgandaB . getting ready for her examsC . busy doing a projectD . choosing a twin school（2）Suzanne felt_ to take part in the project World Class.A . excitedB . surprisedC . thankfulD . lucky（3）Which of the following is TRUE about Louisa s school?A .

The name of the story is Rip Van Winkle, and it is also the name of the hero in this story. There are three characters in this story, Rip Van Winkle and his wife, Dame Van Winkle and their dog, Woof. Dame Van Winkle is a sharp-tongued (說話尖酸的、刻薄的) woman. Both Rip Van Winkle and the dog are terrified of her, even of her voice.There is a scene that can describe how Rip Van Winkle and his dog feel in front of Dame Van Winkle:Rip had just one way of replying to his wifes talk: he only put his head back on his shoulders, looked up toward heaven, and said nothing. . . True, in the woods, Woof was as brave as an honorable dog should be， but as soon as Woof entered the house, his head bent low, his tail lay on the ground or curled between his legs. He went around the house with a guilty look, watching Dame Van Winkle out of the corner of his eyes, ready to run from the room at the slightest sign of her displeasure.This was the time when England ruled America. One day, Rip Van Winkle went into the mountain with his dog for an escape of his wife. He drank something given by some strangers and fell asleep. That was 20 years! His wife died and America got freedom from England, and I think thats what the story wants to tell us: both the poor mans independence and nations independence.Why does Irvings story attract people? Because he wrote so vividly（生動(dòng)地）. That sets me thinking: How he observed things so carefully? If you read through this story, you cant help smiling or laughing from time to time!（1）Rip Van WinkleWriter_Number of characters_Main description of Rips wife_Theme_Reasons for its beauty_五、 短文填空 (共1題；共1分)20. （1分）國慶佳節(jié)即將到來，許多孩子打算去上海迪士尼樂園游玩。假如你是一名迪士尼樂園的志愿者，請(qǐng)用英語向孩子們介紹迪士尼樂園并提醒他們?nèi)绾挝拿饔螆@，每空一詞。 Good morning, children!

You live together in the same house and have the same parents._Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you.Firstborn children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have much more photos of a firstborn than any other child. Parents give them more responsibility（責(zé)任）_As a result, firstborns are often responsible, hardworking and serious. They often want to do well at school and work._For example, Gorge Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson are all firstborn.When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed.

These children often choose different sports and hobbies to show independence._They are oft
