W: Well, there are a lot of changes being made here this week. M: Yes, I see, but what are they?
W: For one thing, Marta and Jim are leaving.
M: Where are they going? Did they get a higher position?
W: Marta’s going to the office in Atlanta. She’s going to be in charge of the whole southern market.
M: That sounds like a good position. What about Jim? W: He’s going out to manage the plant in California.
M: And you? What about you? Are you going to rise to a higher position? W: Not yet, but I’m hoping I will.
M: Don’t you want to get raised? I’d like the job in California.
W: No, I want to stay right here at the company office. This is the place to get noticed by top management. Text 9
M: Hi, Jane. Welcome back. How was the West Coast?
W: Terrific. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from the city for a while. M: What did you think of Los Angeles?
W: It was all right. I liked it better than I thought I would. It’s very clean and spacious, and it’s got a lot of trees. The problem is transportation. The bus service is terrible, and of course, they don’t have any subway, so it’s a little difficult to get around. We had to rent a car. M: And was the weather good?
W: Oh, yes. It was nice and warm is Los Angeles and cool but comfortable in San Francisco. M: Cool in San Francisco? That’s surprising.
W: Yeah, it surprised me a bit, too. We didn’t take any sweaters or anything and they say its always like that in August. Anyway, I loved it. It’s probably the most beautiful city in the US—all those hills, the bay, and those charming old Victorian house. M: So, you like it better than Los Angeles?
W: Oh, yes. There’s much more to see and do. And because it’s smaller than Los Angeles, it’s a bit easier to get around. There are lots of buses and streetcars, and of course, the cable cars, too. Text 10
The telephone rang and I picked it up and the voice said, “Block party tonight.” Right then, I knew summer had arrived in North Dakota. I’ll tell you, there is nobody who enjoys summer more than the people living in North Dakota, possibly because it takes such a long time for summer to get here. We go out from our houses, looking at the sun and ready to go.
We are fond of summer like girls are fond of diamonds. We crowd the parks and jump into the swimming pools. We go boating on the lakes and go climbing. Nearly every family will lock their door and go out. You ask a dozen people living in North Dakota what summer means to them, and you’ll get a dozen different answers.

第二节 书面表达 Possible version Dear Liz,
I’m so happy to hear that you are interested in ancient Chinese coins. I’m writing
this letter to tell you something about a very ancient coin----- Kai Yuan Tong Bao coin.
The Kai Yuan Tong Bao coin is a round coin with a square hole at the centre of it, which was made of bronze and widely used in the Tang Dynasty. And not only did it witness the economic development of the Tang Dynasty, but the use of Kai Yuan Tong Bao coin totally put an end to the Wuzhu coin, which had been used for over 700 hundred years before that. More importantly, it became the standard of other coins after the Tang Dynasty and it played a very significant role in the history of coin development.
I hope this will help you learn a little more about ancient Chinese coins.
Yours, Lihua
