  When my wife, who is Spanish, spent her first winter in London a few years ago, she used to ask me time and again:“Where’s the fog?”Almost all foreigners   1   to find the city full of yellow – grey fog for most of the years.Dickens, who was   2   responsible for painting this   3   in people’s minds, certainly wasn’t joking in those days.In the nineteenth century people used to say   4   someone attempted to kill himself by   5   into the Thames, he would be choked by the fog and poisoned by the terrible   6   of the river before he had time to drown himself.In fact, the situation has   7   only in recent years.When I was a boy in London thirty years ago, I was often unable to see   8   of the road when I left home on winter mornings.

  The key steps that have turned London into one of the   9   cities in the world were   10   at the end of the 1950s.But Londoners still find it   11   that fog hardly returns.Actually the   12   took place as a result of two main improvements.Factories were forced to fix equipment for air cleaning   13   close down, and local people were not allowed to   14   coal unless it was smoke – free.But the   15   incredible miracle in London occurred   16   1964 when the Thames Water Authority began to pump vast   17   of dissolved oxygen into the river.  18  , varieties of fish that had gradually disappeared from the Thames since 1800 have   19  , and some are   20   caught by fishermen outside the House of Parliament(議會).

Dear sir,
I read your story (of the 4th February) about the cost of living in the country rather than in the town, and I agree with most of the points that you made. My husband and I lived in the middle of Horlton until two years ago — a seaside town of nearly five hundred thousand people. When my husband stopped working, we moved to our present house in a small village at the foot of Roland Hill, and there is no doubt that our costs are higher now.
I have to do my shopping in small shops, where the food is more expensive than in city supermarkets; it costs more to travel by bus; and because the men who come to mend the television or the washing machine, have to come farther, we have to pay them more.
But it does not cost us much to enjoy what is beautiful in the country; and peace and quiet are cheap. Many people spend a great deal of time and money driving into the country to enjoy the simple things of life; yet we can enjoy them just by going out of the front door. It costs more to live here than it did in Horlton but now life really is worth living.
Yours faithfully.
Edith Randall
【小題1】What do you know about Horlton?

A.A quiet town not far from the sea.
B.A middle-sized town until two years ago.
C.A town with a population of nearly half a million.
D.A small village at the foot of Roland Hill
【小題2】 What Mrs Randall really wants to express in the letter is that _____.
A.it cost less to live in the country
B.it costs more to live in the country
C.living in the country is no better than in the town
D.she is quite satisfied with the life in the country
【小題3】One can probably find this letter in _____.
A.a(chǎn) guidebookB.a(chǎn) newspaperC.a(chǎn) speechD.a(chǎn) story book
【小題4】According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.The letter is written by an unknown person.
B.This letter is a reply to the questions of 4th February.
C.Living in the country is better than living in the city.
D.The cost of living in the city is lower than that of the country.

  I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someone came knocking on our door.A man was   1   there with a huge box of food, a giant turkey and even some   2   to cook it in.I couldn't   3   it.My dad demanded, “Who are you?Where are you from?”

  The stranger announced, “I'm here because a friend of yours knows you're in need and that you wouldn't accept   4   help, but I've still brought this for you.Have a great Thanksgiving.”

  My father said, “No, no, we   5   accept this.” The stranger replied “You don't have   6  ”, closed the door and left.

  Obviously that experience had a profound impact(深刻影響)on my life.I   7   myself that someday I would do well enough financially(財(cái)政的)  8   I could do the same thing for other people.By the time I was eighteen I had created my Thanksgiving ritual(習(xí)慣).I would go out   9   and buy enough food for one or two   10  .Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the   11   neighborhood and just knock on a   12 �。�I always   13   a note that explained my Thanksgiving experience   14   a kid.The note said, “All that I ask for   15   is that you take good enough care of   16   so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have got more   17   from this annual ritual than that I've ever gained.

  Years ago I was in New York City with my new wife during Thanksgiving.She was sad because we were not with our family.  18   she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were   19   in a hotel room.When I told her what I always do on Thanksgiving, she got excited.

  We packed enough food for seven families for thirty days and went to buildings where half a dozen people lived in one room with no electricity and no heat in winter surrounded by rats, cockroaches(蟑螂)and the smell of urine(尿).It was both an   20   realization for the people living this way and a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference.
