Dear Sir/Madam.
I am writing to complain about an article in last Monday's
newspaper, “Schools fail low-income children.” As the head
teacher of one of the largest senior high schools in the city. I
feel strongly that the article does not describe our school.
My school has children from many different economic
backgrounds, but a large percentage some from lower-income
families. Nevertheless, our tests show that the children do well
and benefit from the excellent work our teachers do. Last year
our school moved from 24 rank to 5th place according to the
official assessment by the state government. This is clearly not
the ‘ Failure " that the article suggests.
I would be strongly recommend that more careful research
should be conducted in the future so that your newspaper will
more realistically describe the true situation in our schools.
Yours sincerely,
Joan Gonzales
5. The letter shows Ms. Gonzales's strong disagreement
with the newspaper’s claim that
A. Children from low-income families do not perform
well in the official assessment
B. Her school only admit students from economically
advantaged families
C. The poor students in her school fail in the national
examination
D. Many of her students fail because of their parents'
low income
E. Low-income children are not as good as high-
income children

High mountain barriers, cold ocean currents and high pressure
systems cause the deserts to remain dry.
When warm air passes over the ocean, it picks up moisture in
the form of water vapour. As this moist air travels over the
land, it rises to pass over mountain rangers. When it begins to
rise, the air cools and this causes the water vapour to condense
into droplets, which fall as rain. When the air reaches the other
side of the mountain barrier, it has lost all its moisture, soothe
other side of the mountain remains dry.
Air passing over cold ocean currents is cooled and therefore,
unable to pick up and hold much moisture. When this cold
mass reaches the warm desert, any moisture in the air is
evaporated and it does not fall as rain. So the desert remains
dry.

A natural disaster is a terrible occurrence, e.g. a great flood, a
bog fire or an earthquake. It usually causes great suffering and
the loss of large sums of money. Causalities are injured or die
and several people are left homeless and need medical
attention.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams
overflow their banks and spill onto the surrounding land. Floods
 are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms
that last for a time cause floods, but not all heavy storms are
followed by flooding, if the surrounding land is flat and can
absorb the water. If, however, the land is hard and rocky, heavy
rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may
overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many parts of the world floods are caused by tropical storms
called hurricanes or typhoons. They bring destructive high
speed winds, torrents of rain and flooding. When a flood
occurs, the destruction to the surrounding land can be severe.
Whole villages and towns may be swept away by water drifting
swiftly over land. Railroad tracks and buckles are uprooted
from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help
battle the blaze. Before pumps were invented, people formed
bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they
formed a human chain from the fire to a nearby well or river.
They passed buckets of water from hand to hand to be poured
onto the flames.
The fire damage depended a great deal on where it happened.
In the country or a small village, only a single house might burn
down. But in crowded cities, fire often destroyed whole blocks
and neighborhoods before being controlled.
31. What can possibly prevent rivers and lakes from
overflowing?
A. A rocky surrounding.
B. An absorbent bed.
C. A high bank.
D. A high road.
E. A low land.

As White as Snow
By U2
Where I came from there were no hills at all. The land was
flat, the highway straight and wide
My brother and I would drive for hours. Like we had years
instead of days
Our faces as pale as the dirty snow
Once I knew there was a love divine. Then came a time I
thought it knew me not
Who can forgiveness where forgiveness is not? Only the
lamb as white as snow
And the water, it was icy as it washed over me
And the moon shined above me
Now this dry ground, it bears no fruit at all. Only poppies
 laugh under the crescent moon
The road refuses strangers, the land, the seeds we sow. Now this dry ground, it bears no fruit at all. Only poppies
Where might we find the lamb as white as snow laugh under the crescent moon
The road refuses strangers, the land, the seeds we sow.
As boys we would go hunting in the woods. To sleep the Where might we find the lamb as white as snow
night shooting out the stars
Now the wolves are every passing stranger. Every face we As boys we would go hunting in the woods. To sleep the
cannot know night shooting out the stars
If only a heart could be as white as snow Now the wolves are every passing stranger. Every face we
If only a heart could be as white as snow cannot know
