      Lucy, Robert and Jenny are studying in Bright High School. Here are their letters to a magazine.
Always wear a seat belt (帶)
     I'm writing to tell you and all the readers how a seat belt can save your life. Last week I was
in the back of my mum's car when I noticed that my door was not shut properly. I pushed it
open so that I could shut it hard. But we went round a corner, and I fell through the open door.
I was hanging out of the car above the road. The only thing that kept me in was my seat belt.
Mum heard me screaming and she stopped the car and helped me back in. Although I was very
shocked, I was not badly hurt. So my message is: Always wear a seat belt.
                                                                                                              Lucy Ahmed (13)

Father's Day 
     Next Monday is Father's Day, and this year I want to give my dad a very special present. I
think my dad is the best. He's always there for me when I need his help.
     This summer he ran in the London Marathon to raise money for the poor students in the
country. The Marathon is a very long run, and he hurt his leg when he was only half way. But
he kept going until the end of the run. My brother and I felt very proud of him. If this letter is
printed in the magazine, it will be my special present for him. 
                                                                                                           Robert Brown (14)

Why does my brother say this?
     I can't understand my brother! Our teachers are going to give us a test at school on Monday,
so my brother and I have done some revision (復(fù)習(xí)) this weekend. But when his friends asks,
"Have you done any work for the test?" He says, "No. I've done nothing." Do all boys do this, or
is it just my brother? I'm not afraid to say I worked hard, so why is he?

  Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century.Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.

  Born in 1881 to a wealthy family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood.In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money.At the same time, his father became seriously ill.From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends.These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.

  By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern.In 1902 he went to study in Japan.There, he began writing articles for several Chinese student magazines.He showed a gift for writing and translating and he even wrote several books, although none was popular.He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.

  After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing.In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman.It was the first Chinese novel published using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success.This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q(1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.

  Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China's future.In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”.He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government.For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books.He was forced to write his articles using false names.

  Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun's importance and influence have grown.Today, many of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.

Dear grandma,
     How are you? I hope you are feeling well and your leg is improving. Can you walk a bit now? Is your
neighbor, Mrs Lu, bringing you enough books to read? I hope so.
     You'd love our school library, grandma. There are so many books for all kinds of subjects. The other day
I found a book about electronic engineering. I couldn't really understand it but I hope to learn more about this
topic sometime. This term I have three new subject classes, so I thought I'd tell you about them.
     I now study biology, which is really interesting. I'm learning all about the human body, where everything
is and what it does. Do you know that we have a kissing muscle? It's called 'orbicularis' (輪匝肌) and it's a
circular muscle that closes your mouth and moves your lips forward. I love biology. It's so interesting!
     Another new subject is religion. I didn't think I would like this one, but actually it is very interesting to
hear about how different people worship (崇拜). We are learning about lots of religions from all over the
world, not only Asia. Do you know about the religion on the island of Bali in Indonesia? They have a unique
religion which is based on Hinduism but also has elements of Buddhism as well. It is called Bali Hindu Dharma.
I am just learning more about it but it sounds fascinating.
     My other new subject is Spanish. It's really difficult to learn a new language but I know it will be useful
for me in the future, if I want to travel the world. Spanish is one of the official languages of the European
Union and the United Nations. I've learnt that Spanish is not only spoken in Europe but in South America, too.
Countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Mexico also speak Spanish. You know I've always wanted to go to
Mexico, so if I can speak some Spanish it would be really useful.
     Did you study these subjects when you were at school? I suppose subject choice changes over time,
doesn't it? I'll come to visit you again in the next holiday, which I think is in eight weeks' time. I'll bring you
some of my new books if you like. I hope you can write back soon and tell me all the village news. I miss you
very much.
                                                                                                                                Lots of love,
                                                                                                                                     Sara
1. Can grandma go to the library by herself?
    ______________________________________________________
2. What does grandma like doing, reading books or chatting on line? 
    ______________________________________________________
3. How many new subjects does Sara study this term? 
    ______________________________________________________
4. When will Sara probably go to see her grandma? 
    ______________________________________________________
5. Why does Sara write this letter to her grandma?
