Well, I am back here and-how do you say it-nose to the grindstone again. Acutally it is good to be back although I do miss London already. Shanghai has changed a little-there are more buildings going up everywhere and I think that there are even more cars. At present I haven’t got a car,and nowhere to live. My family is putting me up at the moment, but I am thinking of buying a flat.
Big news!They’ve promoted me. Three days after I got back,the General Manager called me into his office and told me he wants to put me in charge of the ICT Division,with responsibility throughout China. He asked me if I would like the job-I said I certainly would. It’s wonderful. Thank you so much 1
for all your help-I learnt so much in London. I get a big rise, of course,wich means I can get a flat in the middle of town. Iprobably won’t bother about a car-if I live centrally,then I can use public transport or taxis.
The GM also said he thought it would be a good idea if you came out to talk about ICT with us. And so do I. I told him it was a very good idea indeed（his idea of course!）.So you can expect an invitation next month. I’d really like you to meet our team out here.

When I first knew Mike, we lived in a small village in Scotland. It was very different from Mike’s life in London now. We went to school together on our bicycles. Every morning I went to his house and knocked on the door. Every morning Mike’s mum said, “I’m sorry. He’s a bit late this
4
morning”, and so I had to wait. Each day we were late for school, and I remember the teacher got very annoyed with us. I never told her we were late because of Mike. Now, 25 years later, I play tennis with Mike. I usually drive him to the tennis club. I go to his flat and he opens the door and says, “I’m sorry. I’m a bit late today.” The only reason he wasn’t late for his own wedding is that we lied to him about the time!
As boys we spent a lot of time out exploring on our bikes. We went walking and fishing. I didn’t like fishing because I couldn’t swim. Probably the funniest thing we did was when we stole a bottle of whiskey from my Dad. We cycled about 5 miles away to drink it in one of our favorite places. When we finished drinking it, we couldn’t cycle back – it was a long, slow walk. I’m sure we looked awful. We still do, when we come back from the pub on Friday nights. Nothing’s changed really. Oh, and I still can’t swim.

短文理解12 Hi, Tim,
Well, I am back here and – how do you say it – nose to the grindstone again. Actually it is good to be back although I do miss London already.
Shanghai has changed a little – there are more buildings going up everywhere and I think that there are even more cars. At present I haven’t got a car, and nowhere to live. My family is putting me up at the moment, but I am thinking of buying a flat. Big news! They’ve promoted me. Three days after I got back, the General Manager called me into his office and told me he wants to put me in charge of the ICT Division, with responsibility throughout China. He asked me if I would like the job – I said I certainly would. It’s wonderful. Thank you so much for all your help – I learnt so much in London. I get a big rise, of course, which means I can get a flat in the middle of town. I probably won’t bother about a car – if I live centrally, then I can use public transport or taxis.
The GM also said he thought it would be a good idea if you came out to talk about ICT with us. And so do I. I told him it was a very good idea
indeed ( his idea, of course! ). So you can expect
an invitation next month. I’d really like you to meet our team out here.
I’ll be in touch again. Please give my love to everyone.
Xiaoyan

A. They let Xiaoyan live with them.
B. They support Xiaoyan in her work. C. They give Xiaoyan money to buy a flat.
(C)4. Is it possible that Xiaoyan can buy her own flat? Why?
A. Yes. Because she’s got a better job. B. Yes. Because she’s got a higher pay.

Hi, Sharon,
I’ve only got 10 days left in England. Can you believe I’ve already been here for a year? There’s so much to do before I leave! I really must buy presents for my English friends to thank them for all their help. I have to move out of my room on Friday because Franco has got another tenant. At least I don’t have to find somewhere else to live. I’m going to spend a few days with friends. He is letting the whole flat because Mary is moving just before her marriage. The time has gone so quickly. I cannot believe that I’ve been here for a whole year. And I must start packing too – I have bought a lot since I came, and I need another suitcase. I’ll give some things to charity shops I think.
Anyway, I’m really writing to say that I’ll be back in Shanghai on the 27 April, and it would be great to see you to catch up on all our news. I’ll phone as soon as I get back. How are things with you? Love Xiaoyan

When I first knew Mike, we lived in a small village in Scotland. It was very different from Mike’s life in London now. We went to school together on our bicycles. Every morning I went to his house and knocked on the door. Every morning Mike’s mum said, “I’m sorry. He’s a bit late this morning” , and so I had to wait. Each day we were late for school, and I remember the teacher got very annoyed with us. I never told her we were late because of Mike. Now, 25 years later, I play tennis with Mike. I usually drive him to the tennis club. I go to his flat and he opens the door and says, “I’m sorry. I’m a bit late today.” The only reason he wasn’t late for his own wedding is that we lied to him about the time!
As boys we spent a lot of time out exploring on our bikes. We went walking and fishing. I didn’t like fishing because I couldn’t swim. Probably the funniest thing we did was when we stole a bottle of whiskey from my Dad. We cycled about 5 miles away to drink it in one of our favorite places. When we finished drinking it, we couldn’t cycle back – it was a long, slow walk. I’m sure we looked awful. We still do, when we come back from the pub on Friday nights. Nothing’s changed really. Oh, and I still can’t swim. （C）1. Mike now lives in __________.
A. a village in Scotland B. a village near London C. London （B）2. ______ got up late every morning. A. Mike’s mum B. Mike C. I （B）3. 25 years later, Mike __________. A. is early in doing everything B. still is late as in the past C. is never late again
（C）4. As boys both of us liked __________.
A. fishing B. swimming C. riding bicycles
（A）5. We walked 5 miles back home because we __________. A. were drunk B were tired C. enjoyed walking
