I feel lucky because my house is located in a quieter place in the city. I can walk to the forest

when I feel I can not stand (忍受) the noise around me any more. But still I am quite worried by

many noises, such as the pets in the neighbourhood, the rings of the telephones, the visits of the

salesmen …

If your place is noisy too, then my following advice may be good to you:

1. Go to the coffees

It sounds crazy, isn’t it? Can you work in such a noisy place? I like to work while listening to

music. Someone likes the quietness and light music in the coffees. Actually, when I was writing a

2009上海市静安区中考模拟英语试卷(牛津版)

novel, I prefer to walk out to some public places such as restaurants, KFCs or stations where I can

get some interesting things for my stories.

2. Go to the library

Recently, college libraries are not such quiet places, but public libraries keep its traditions. Of

course, college libraries will be a good choice to do study, for there are plenty of books. If you are

a college student, you had better go to the libraries in the colleges.

3. Put on your earphones

Sometimes I found it’s necessary to put on earphones when I am working at home. Of course,

you should make sure which kind of music makes you work better.

4. Arrange the time better

As a SOHO, you needn’t work in a certain period of time. If you need a very quiet

environment, try to work at midnight.

5. Use other ways to make yourself better

If the noise is too loud and strong, then take a rest! Listen to music, watch films, or walk

outside, do something else. Start your work when it’s quiet and you have enough energy.

71. The writer’s house is located in a quieter place in the city without any noises around.

72. The visits of the salesmen make the writer worried.

73. The writer prefers some public places to get interesting things for his stories.

74. College libraries are usually quieter than public libraries.

75. In order to work better, the writer was sure to put on earphones while working at home.

76. Working at midnight can provide you a very quiet environment.

77. Having a rest is one of the ways to make yourself feel better.

Dear Laura,

Germany is amazing! The scenery in the countryside is very beautiful. We got to ride through

mountains when we went to Munich (慕尼黑). The city is exciting, and there are lots of shops

everywhere. At home, people stay inside and work for most of the day, but people here like to go

out more often.

Our choir (合唱队) sang in a church yesterday. You should have heard how beautiful our

2009上海市静安区中考模拟英语试卷(牛津版)

voices were! It was an amazing experience, and the people there really enjoyed it. Later, we went

sightseeing around the main square. The buildings are very beautiful and old. There is a much

greater sense of history here than there is at home.

The one thing I’m not crazy about is the food. They eat so differently here! First of all, they

eat lots of bread and meat, but not many vegetables. Also, they drink a lot of beer. I was surprised

to see fifteen-year-old kids drinking beer with huge cups, right in the square! My favorite foods

here are the apple-juice soda and the huge soft biscuits. But they don’t like these.

People here dress well, and everyone seems confident and beautiful. They’re in great shape

mainly because they walk a lot. Most people don’t even have cars! I’m surely getting in better

shape from walking around so much. It’s good!

I’m having a wonderful time with my friends from the choir. Erin and I have been walking out

a lot. I’ve been getting to know the older kids. I really respect them. It’s amazing that music and

traveling can bring a group together.

Yesterday evening, the boys from our choir sang for people on the street, and people crowded

around to hear them!

Well, I have to go to sleep now. Talk to you soon!

Yours,

Anna

housework. The people who agree with this point say that kids shouldn’t just get allowances for 95 of their money management skills. Most of the children in America are allowed to spend

their allowances on the things they like. Many people think that kids can start receiving

allowances around ages 4 or 5, when children start to understand how money w 96 in life.

One day a poor farmer was taking a bag of rice to a town. Suddenly the bag fell from his horse on the road. He didn’t know what to do about it because it was too heavy for him to lift by himself. He only hoped that somebody would soon pass by and help him.

Just at that moment, a man riding a horse came up to him. But the farmer was very disappointed when he saw who he was. It was the great man living nearby. The farmer had hoped to ask another farmer or a poor man for help.

But to his surprise, the great man got off his horse as soon as he came nearer. He said to the farmer, “I see you need help, friend. How good it is that I’m here just at the right time.” Then he took one end of the bag, and the farmer took the other. They lifted together and put it on the horse. “Sir,” asked the farmer, “how can I thank you?”

“It’s quite easy,” the great man answered with a smile. “wherever you see anyone else in trouble, give him a hand.”
