　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  A

Suppose you have received the following letter from a friend. Now write a reply to it.

Dear Cindy,

What happened to you? I went to the station on Saturday morning as we had planned but you didn’t turn up(出現(xiàn)). I didn’t know whether to take the train or not. Finally, as we had booked seats, I got on the train and we had a great weekend. The party on Saturday night at Janice’s home was fun too.

Now it’s Sunday evening. I’ve tried to ring you at your home but there’s no answer. I hope you are all right.

Love,

Kate

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   B

The 21^st Century is a popular paper among teenagers in China. If you have any problem, you can write to the editor and ask for advice. Here is a letter from a student.

Dear Editor,

I’m a student from Xi’an Senior High School. I am having trouble with my classmates at the moment. I’m getting along well with a boy in my class. We often do homework together and we enjoy helping each other. We have become really good friends. But other students have started gossiping(說(shuō)長(zhǎng)道短). They say that this boy and I have fallen in love. This made me angry. I don’t want to end the friendship, but I hate others gossiping. What should I do?

Kate

Write your advice to Kate as an editor. (Your name is Cindy.)

 

Answer 1

答案：
解析：

(A) Dear Kate, Thank you for your letter. I’m so sorry about last weekend. Let me explain what happened. We were on our way to the station and were crossing the road when my mother was knocked down by a taxi. She was badly hurt so we took her to hospital. We spent the rest of the weekend at the hospital. I didn’t have Janice’s telephone number, so I couldn’t ring her. I should have rung your parents and left a message, but I didn’t think of it. I’m very sorry. I apologize for causing you so much worry. Fortunately, my mother is a little better now. Love, Cindy (108) (B) Dear Kate, There is nothing wrong with you and this boy being friends and studying together. And no matter what other students say, it is possible for a boy and a girt to be just good friends. Ending your friendship with this boy would be a stupid thing to do. Not only would you lose a good friend, but you would also lose someone who is helping you with your studies. Teenagers like to gossip, and they often see something that doesn’t exist. Perhaps they can’t understand your friendship with this boy. But that’s no reason to throw it away. My advice is to ignore your gossiping classmates. That way you will show them that you are more grown up than they are. Yours, Cindy (125)
