  Portferraio is the capital of the Italian island of Elba. It is a small seaside town in the north of the island with a beautiful harbour(港)full of boats and ships which go to and from the port of Piombino on mainland of Italy, about an hour away. Napoleon stayed in Portferraio in 1814 and you can still visit his house today.

  There are some small beaches near the capital where the water is not deep and safe for swimming. Bigger, sandy beaches are in the south of the island at Campo di Martina and in the east at Porto Azzurro.

  Away from the sea, in the west of the island, there are mountains over 1, 000 meters high, which are covered with trees and wild flowers during the spring and summer months.

  If you want a quiet holiday, visit Elba in May when the weather is warm in the day and cool in the evening; the beaches are empty and the roads are quiet; hotels are cheap and it's easy to find somewhere to stay. But, be careful. It's very different in July and August !

1.Which of the following shows the correct relation between Portferraio, Elba and Italy? ( P stands for Portferraio; E for Elba and I for Italy. )

[  ]

A.
B.
C.
D.

2.Where can you most probably read this piece of writing?

[  ]

A.Travel magazine.

B.Business report.

C.Children's picture dictionary.

D.Geography textbook.

3.What is the purpose of this piece of writing?

[  ]

A.To encourage people to visit Elba in July and August.

B.To discourage people to visit Elba in July and August.

C.To attract people to visit Elba in May.

D.To tell people that May is the best time to visit Elba.

Reply letter A
Thank you for your valuable suggestions. We have decided to show the Chinese character along with the Hanyu Pinyin for names of Chinese personages, places and specific things as from the next issue.
Reply letter B
Thank you for your suggestions. Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. One of our staff reporters has just returned from Xinjiang and written a long article about her trip. Next year, we will have even more coverage of Xinjiang.
Reply letter C
Other readers have asked us for similar information and we have so far answered them individually. In this issue, we will print an open reply. We discovered after making a survey that there are few books to be found on China printed in English. Most are published by the Foreign Languages Press and China International press, from where it is possible to buy books directly.
Reply letter D
A majority of Chinese tourists travel abroad in order to see different landscapes and various cultures, to appreciate an exotic atmosphere and to get to know local customs. Some Chinese tourists nevertheless go to China towns, because they can eat Chinese food there. For those who don’t know English or the native language of the country they visit, it is convenient to go shopping or find entertainment in a Chinatown.
Reply letter E
We have taken on your suggestions to start a column on personalities. There are kinds of reports, such as movie stars, directors, businessmen, singers and so on. Our reports not only introduce their achievements, but also report their inner world. We hope you will enjoy it.
Reply letter F
Thanks for your appreciation of our magazine. We have mailed your letter and your e-mail address to Tingting. Since both of her two letters were sent by ordinary mail and did not give her e-mail address or telephone number. We could not get in touch with her any other way.

Letter A
I have just started reading your magazine regularly and enjoy the articles very much. I have one comment to make. Can you include the Chinese characters for the names of people, places, etc that you mention with the Hanyu Pinyin of Romanized phonetic system that you use? For example, what is “Emei” or “Qitaihe”or “Shaoxing” in Chinese? It’s also helpful for those of us who are learning Chinese.
Letter B.
It was interesting to read the magazine. I wonder if you could start a column which introduces the Chinese elites of art, business, sports, politics, especially directors, actors, anchors(主持人)and singers. I believe readers will also appreciate a livelier style.
Letter C
I am a civil servant in Xinjiang, a region relatively underdeveloped in comparison with other provinces. But this does not mean it belong to another world. Xinjiang could benefit from overseas exchanges as well as contact with people living in other regions. Could you include articles about Xinjiang and its people? I suggest magazines report more about the western regions, especially exotic and charming Xinjiang.
Letter D
I am an avid(熱衷的)reader of your magazine and it has helped me to introduce China to foreign friends. Thank you for great efforts to bring New China to the world. Next month, I may get the opportunity to go to Nigeria, so I must learn more about China’s history and culture. Could you kindly recommend a suitable book in English?
Letter E
It was interesting to read “Chinese Travelers Step out”. It seems a large percentage of Chinese tourists visit the West. In Indonesia, Chinese New Year is an official holiday. How would you assess the level of interest Chinese tourists have in Indonesia? Would they like to visit Chinatowns or other unique attractions in Indonesia?

     Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way--was it through practice, or are great players "horn, not made"? First, these players come from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup— three from South America and three from Western Europe, ___________________—or a really great player-from North America or from Asia Second, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players began playing the game at the age of three or four.

     Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood-- a poor crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beetle, has one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a "ball" made of rags And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.

     All great players have a lot in common, but that doesn't explain why they are great Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The great test players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

1. What is the man idea of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

  Generally, where there are great respectable soccer players, such players will come into being.

3. Please fill in the blank in the first paragraph with proper words or sentence to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)

4. To be a great soccer player, he needs some qualities. What quality do you think is the most important? (Please answer within 30 words.)

has had a remarkable effect on everyone. Besides, birds are cheaper than telephone service. After all,
we are a business. We have to think of the bottom line. As a side benefit, the birds also fertilize the lawn

     Next, we sold the computers of, to Stab, Grab, Grit, and Nasty, a firm of lawyers nearby. Our
electricity bill went way down. Big savings! The boss is impressed. We have completely embraced paper
technology. Now that we all use pencils, doodling is on the increase, and the quality of pencilwomanship
is impressive, as you can tell from my handwriting in this letter. By the way, if you can, please send this
letter back to us. We can erase and reuse it. Just tie it to Maggie's leg and she'll know where to take it.
