Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon 1442 Saddleback Road Mesa,AX 85205 Dear Mr and Mrs Fred Deacon,
I am writing this letter to congratulate you on your new purchase of a house in the Dobson Ranch area.We feel that this is one of the best neighborhoods of high quality in the city of Mesa,and we are happy to be able to call you neighbors.
For your information,there are a few things we would like to tell you.One is that there are certain duties that go with living in Dobson Ranch.In order to keep property (房地產(chǎn)) values at the highest possible levels,we insist that everyone who lives in Dobson Ranch take care of their property.This means that the grass needs to be cut regularly,branches of the trees and bushes should be cut off,and there should be no unattractive additions to houses,nor should houses be painted in colors like red or blue.If you want to make any additions to your house,you need our permission first.
The people of Dobson Ranch also have monthly meetings to discuss various issues of concern in our community.You are welcome to attend.We typically hold meetings on the first Saturday of every month at 7:00 PM at the Dobson Ranch Community Center.You will receive a notice via e-mail a few days before every meeting as a reminder.We hope that you will join us as much as you see fit.
Again,welcome to the neighborhood,and I look forward to meeting you soon.
Sincerely
Juan Sanchez
President
Dobson Ranch Housing Association
October 20 Dear Mr Sanchez,
Thank yo u very much for your letter welcoming us to the neighborhood.My wife and I appreciate your concern,and we also appreciate you letting us know about the various rules that apply to this neighborhood.Please do not worry about us.No matter where we live,we always try to be neighbors taking care to do our work properly.We too are well aware of property values.To be honest,we are actually pleased that there are regulations that must be obeyed.In the past,we have had neighbors who have not taken care of their homes and yards; at least we know that we will not have to worry about that here.
As for the meetings,thank you for your kind invitation,but tm afraid that you probably won't see us too often.My work takes me out of town,so when I,m not traveling,I prefer to stay home.Similarly,my wife works long hours at the hospital and prefers to spend her days off relaxing at home.However,if we have the time,we will try to make it to a meeting.Again,thank you for welcoming us.
Sincerely Fred Deacon

7.A Dream Realized
Zhao Yang,33,an employee of a French company in Beijing,who has traveled extensively in the United States by motorbike.

I have been addicted to Harley-Davidson motorcycles since I was young,and knowing that motorcycle-related culture is very popular in the US,I decided to take a trip.Along with my wife and a group of fellow enthusiasts,I participated in a 15-day tour in October last year.We had one free day,so I headed to Las Vegas.
Before arriving in the US,I researched a range of materials about riding a motorbike there.I also found some classic recommended routes on Chinese websites related to Harley Davidson clubs.
With the help of their suggestions,I designed my own route.
In accordance with the rules,before I left China I visited a notary office (公證機(jī)關(guān)),where my driving license was confirmed as acceptable in the US and my documents were translated into English.Only then did I buy my basic motorcycle equipment.

When we arrived at Las Vegas,we rented a Harley Davidson and rode around the city.It was an exciting,unforgettable experience,because it was not only the achievement of a dream,but I also experienced the regional motorcycle culture in the US.As we parked the bike at the roadside,some drivers rolled down their car windows and gave us the thumbs-up,and when we drove on the road,car drivers pulled over to let us pass.We also visited a motorcycle-themed restaurant for lunch and enjoyed the fantastic decoration and delicious food.
I believe that traveling by motorcycle in the US will become popular because of the recent joint efforts to promote Sino-US tourism,especially after the two countries decided to name 2016as US-China Tourism Year.This new style of traveling will attract more young Chinese tourists,and people like me,who have a passion for freedom and adventure,will visit the US more frequently.For example,I am planning to travel along the famous highway called Route 66with friends during next year's Spring Festival.
If travel agencies and governments can promote the need for motorcyclists to obtain accurate information before they head to the US-such as the required documents,how to rent a motorbike and local traffic laws-"riding the range"will become a safe and great way to spend a vacation.

56.Zhao Yang's childhood dream was toB.
A.become a professional motorcyclist
B.travel in Harley-Davidson motorcycles
C.take a trip in the USA along with his wife
D.travel to work on a fashionable motorcycle
57.To prepare for the motorcycle trip in the USA,Zhao YangA.
A.made various research and checked his driving license
B.took the suggestions given and chose the classic route
C.joined one of the Harley Davidson clubs and got suggestions
D.took lots of health examinations and bought some equipment
58.How did Zhao Yang feel when driving in Las Vegas?D
A.disturbed      B.disappointed    C.depressed    D.excited
59.Zhao Yang thinks that traveling by motorcycle in the US willA.
A.enjoy much popularity with Sino-US tourism
B.obtain less American fans in motorcycle travel
C.get less support from the modern motorcyclists
D.meet more challenge with the information gap.

First of all,students should respect the teachers.They should pay attention in the classes.That means to salute him,to stand from his chair when the teacher enters the classroom etc.Attend any lesson attentively.In class of a certain subject or teacher you don't like very much,if it's total anarchy(混亂),how can we talk about respect?
Play by the rules
If your teacher wants you to use wide-lined paper-do it!If she tells you to sharpen your pencils only before class starts,listen to her.If she doesn't accept late homework,do yours on time.Sometimes classroom rules seem strict or even silly,but most teachers know what's necessary to make things run smoothly,what it takes to let the learning begin.And the better the learning environment,the smarter you'll be!

Put first things first.
Friends are a fun part of school.But they're not the most important part.When your teacher is teaching,give her/him your full attention.Even when it's hard to do--recess will come soon enough,and that's the time for playing with your friends.

10.Indoor Plants
As with any house guests,indoor plants require a certain amount of basic,regular attention if they are going to feel at home.The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed.
     A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit,a position out of cold air,safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight.
     Plants love company.When plants are growing together,they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions.A group of plants will also present a more pleasing picture and provide an opportunity for a creative arrangement.There is no secret to this.Just rely on your natural feeling for harmony.
     Watering and feeding plants are probably the two areas of care that are the least well understood,but,again,if you follow a few simple rules,your plants should do well.Cold water direct from the tap can have a frightening effect on the roots of delicate plants.Slightly warm water is therefore the answer.It is usually better to pour water on to the soil on the surface of the pot rather than put the water into the pot holder at the bottom.Avoid giving small amount of water at regular intervals-it is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering.
The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October,and during this time,the established ones will benefit from regular feeding.This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer(肥料) at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength.It is important,however,to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive,when the soil in the pot is dry,or too soon after the plants has been potted up.
32.In Paragraph 2,the author mainly tells us toD.
A.buy plants that help clean indoor air 
B.create a new environment with plants
C.put plants on the sunny side of the room
D.make sure of suitable conditions for plants
33.What's the benefit of plants growing together?B
A.It provides owners good company.
B.It helps the air around them slightly wet.
C.It makes it convenient to look after them.
D.It allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.
34.While watering the plants,what should we remember to do?A
A.Use water that is a little warm.
B.Pour the water into the pot holder.
C.Give small amount of water at one time.
D.Consider further watering in dry weather.
35.What is the best time to feed the plants?B
A.When the soil is dry.
B.When their growth is active.
C.When the temperature is high.
D.When they have just been planted.
