Hi Cathy,

     Greetings from Nepal!I'm sending this from an Internet cafe in a small town north of Kathmandu.

The town itself isn’t very interesting,but everything around it 1. (is / are) beautiful I can see the Himalayas through the cafe window!

     The courses here are great,although maths2. (is / are) certainly not my strong point. A lot of Nepal5  population lives in the mountainous parts of the country south of the Himalayas, and most of these people 3. (depend /depends) on growing crops and keeping animals. The standard of living in Kathmandu and the other cities 4. (have / has) risen a lot recently, and the number of people likely to move into the cities 5. (is / are) expected to increase. It's a real problem here. The Himalayan Times,the local English-language newspaper,6.  (has /have) just published a survey showing that most young people would stay in their home villages if jobs were available.

      Hope all 7. (is / are) well with you.I'llsend more news when I can.

                                                                                  Nazim

[分析]

① 本句是一個主從復合句。

② 主句是 She has achieved everything,she wanted to do 是省略了 關(guān)系詞that的定語從句，修飾

③ 三個動詞-ing形式結(jié)構(gòu)working with animals in their own environment,gaining a doctor 's degree 和 showing that women can live in the forest as men can 作 everything的同位語。

④ 在 showing that Women can live in the forest as men can 動詞-ing 形 式結(jié)構(gòu)中，that引導的從句作 showing的賓語;在賓語從句中又^ 含有一個由as引導的從句，can 后省略了 live in the forest

     The McDonald family from Glasgow,Scotland,was on holiday in Western Australia when their vehicle broke down in a desert area ninety miles north of the town of Laverton. This happened on a Tuesday,and the McDonalds were expected to arrive in the city of Kalgoorlie on Wednesday evening. When they did not show up,Mrs. McDonald's brother told the local police.

      A spokesperson from the rescue team that discovered the McDonalds’ vehicle said that the family planned carefully for their desert trip. They knew that they needed to stay with their vehicle instead of setting out to seek help,and they did the right thing by lighting a fire as a signal to attract attention.

When it comes to making a desert trip,the spokesperson also suggested bringing warm clothing for the cold nights and light clothing,hats,and sunscreen for the hot days. Besides,travelers should have a well-stocked survival kit (裝備) including a first-aid kit,map,matches or lighter,and a knife. They should also make sure to pack plenty of food and water,spare tires (輪胎)and fuel. The spokesperson's final suggestion was to tell a friend or family member about your travel plans.

       Mr. McDonald said he was extremely happy to see the rescue team and thankful that his family had survived. When asked what advice he could share with other possible desert travelers,Mr. McDonald said, “Don’t panic. Stay where you are and wait to be rescued” This trip through the Australian desert is one vacation the McDonald family will never forget!
