Dear God,
I am a boy. I live in a poor village. My Parents used to be(过去是) farmer but now they are working in a big city. They want to build a new house. Our old house is leaking. It becomes wet after a heavy rain. I think our new house must look clean and smart. I don’t mind if it is big or small. It is not in the centre of the city or near the sea. It lies in a peaceful valley. There are flowers and grasses around the house. My father can ride his horse to look after his sheep; my mother can milk her cows. My brother’s cat is lying in the sun while I am reading under the tree. How beautiful!
Our new house has three bedrooms. There is a bedroom for my mother and father , one for me and one for my brother. There is a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. There is a small balcony in front of the house, and a armchair(扶手椅) stands there quietly. There are some plants on the balcony, too. My family will be very happy in the new house. God, tell me, can my dream come true? What should I do for that?
Sincerely yours,

It is said that as the population of a city grows, so do its problems. Pollution, too many cars, and crowded streets are just a few of the problems. One way to deal with these problems is city trains. Traveling to different parts of a city by train means fewer cars and buses on our roads, cleaner air and more open streets. In recent years, cities such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai have all built city train lines.
The first city train line in China was built in Beijing. The oldest part of the train line, from Beijing Zhan to Ping Guo Yuan was opened in 1969. Its length was 23.6 kilometers. With the development of the city after 1980, more trains are needed. A new train line was built to help move people around the city center. The 16-kilometer-long “circle line” was finished in 1987. Since that time even more train stations have been built and today the train lines in the city are over 50 kilometers long.
For the 2008 Olympic Games, the trains of Beijing was very important. Most of the people who went to watch the different sports games during the Olympic Games traveled by train.This passage tells us about _____.
| A．the problems in big cities | B．city trains |
| C．the history of Beijing | D．2008 Olympic Games |
How long was the first train line in Beijing?
| A．About 16 kms. | B．About 23 kms. |
| C．About 33 kms. | D．About 50 kms. |
In 1977, which of the following places in Beijing could you go to by train?
| A．Chao Yang Men. | B．An Ding Men. |
| C．Che Gong Zhuang. | D．He Ping Men. |
When was the 16-kilometer-long “circle line” finished in Beijing?
| A．In 1969. | B．In 1980. | C．In 1987. | D．In 2008. |

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.
No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their life changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it.
People began to live near one another, so the first village was established (建立). Many people came to live in the villages, and these villages became even larger.
When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.
Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

If you knew you had only three years left to live, how would you use your time? It’s a hard question and few of us would even like to think about it. But 18-year-old Huang Ge has to answer this question and he says: “I want to thank the people who have helped me.”
At age one, Huang’s mother left the family. Six years later, he was badly ill. He has been using a wheelchair since 9 years old. Doctors said he would only live to be 18.
After Huang’s story went on TV, hundreds of Chinese sent money to help him. The boy was so moved that he decided to thank every one of them. But it is not an easy job, because Huang was too sick even to drive a mosquito (蚊子) away from his leg. Huang has to be tied to his wheelchair to stop him from falling out. And the family can only afford a three-wheeled motorcycle (三轮摩托). Since 2003, the father and son have traveled 14000 kilometers, to 10 provinces, and thanked more than 30 helpers.
“I am moved by the story of this boy. We need the courage to face death, and we should also feel the thankfulness for those who help us,” reads an online post on cctv.com.
