Dear Mrs Smith,

I was a student of yours in Grade Six, and I hope you still remember me. I’m writing this letter because I want to let you know that the school year with you was important and special to me. It made a great contribution(贡献) to my life.

I know I was very quiet in your class, and you never said much to me. But you did something that made a big difference in my life. You see, all through my first years in schools. I hated to read. Books were just words that had very little to do with me, and I was bored by them. I’ll never forget the first day of Grade Six when you took out a thick book and began to read the story to our class. Your voice seemed to change with the people in the story, and you drew pictures in my mind as you read aloud. Since that day, I couldn’t wait until after lunch when you would read to the class. You read us all kinds of wonderful books.

During the summer after my year in your class, I missed hearing the stories you would read. So one day I picked up a book and read it all on my own. I found out that I could make the words interesting, too. Now, I love to read! Thank you for opening the world of books for me.

Yours, Linda 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Mr Ellis is very old. He has seen many changes in his hometown.

He knows that things are different now. But he never forgets the old days. He often talks about his favorite birds, the robins(一种小鸟— 知更鸟). “When I was a boy, these houses were not here. These were wild fields and tall trees. Every spring the robins would come. Thousands of them would fly up to the south. They spent the winter in the south. Some would build their nests(巢)in the trees near our houses. Then people started to cut down trees, and they built more houses. The robins stopped coming. They couldn’t build their nests near our houses because there were no trees.”

“Now there are too many houses and too many roads. There are no places for the robins. They do not come any more.”
