佳作欣赏
Dear Tom,
This September is my first month at senior high school and everything here seems strange to me—the new school,new teachers and new classmates,but I have got used to① it.
My new school,a key senior high school in our city,was built in 1945.② There are 30 classes and over 1,300 students in my school③ with a sixstory teaching building,three laboratories and a library.A great number of students have graduated from it and many of them have achieved great success④ in the development of modern industry and agriculture.
Anyway,I enjoy my first month in this school and I hope I can make progress in my study every day.
Write back and tell me something about your new school.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

According to a survey,more Europeans go digital—changing from fixed lines to mobile phones and from narrowband to broadband Internet connections.
The survey showed that 22 percent of EU households use only mobile phones,up from 18 percent a year ago,while the percentage of households with at least one fixed line decreased by 5 percent to 72 percent,although the percentage of households with at least one mobile phone remains fairly stable at 81 per cent.
Broadband is presenting a rapid upward trend in the EU,showed the survey,which polled(对……进行民意调查) 27,000 households across the union.Twentyeight percent of households are now connected to the Internet via highspeed “broadband” links,up six percent from last year,while narrowband usage has dipped by three percentage points to 12 percent.More than half of households access the Internet via an ADSL line and 34 percent of broadband connections are wireless.
“Europe’s digital economy is growing strongly as more and more households love to choose between fixed,mobile and Internet services,” said EU Information Society and Media Commissioner Viviane Reding.“The challenge of this year’s reform of the EU’s telecom rules will be to respond to this rapidly changing technological environment while enhancing(提高) at the same time effective competition.”
Meanwhile,nearly 20 percent of Europeans buy two or more telecom products from a single service provider,the combination of fixed telephony and Internet access being the most common.The result may strengthen the commission’s case for breaking up telecom giants,whose control over the fixed line networks was accused of hindering(妨碍) competition.“Today’s survey findings will feed into the ongoing public debate on the reform of the EU telecom rules,planned for summer this year,” said Reding.

Ⅱ.完形填空
Recently,I was invited to a writing class at my old high school.I accepted the
9
because it’s always fun to see what young writers are up to.A few hours before the class,I got the
10
that I often get before I go into a school—nausea(反胃) and the fear that I’m about to get into
11
.
When I
12
into a school,all the old feelings come back:
13
teacher is going to get mad at me;the headmaster is going to make me take a note home.
But I’m not alone in having
14
feelings from school days.Often people talk about bad
15
they still have about being unprepared for a(n)
16
test.Others say that being picked on and not being
17
for a team are still terrible memories for them.So it’s no
18
that adults sometimes act like they’re still in school.
My
19
memories are about teachers getting mad at me.I was often ashamed of the serious crime of “talking out of turn”,a guy who couldn’t keep his
20
shut.
I realize that the answer is to face the feelings,
21
avoid them.So I volunteer at a school once a week.Each week,I’m a little more
22
when I walk into the office to
23
.And I admit that sometimes when the headmaster
24
me with a smile,I think he’s planning to call my mother to say I should dress a little nicer
25
I visit his school.But by the end of my time there,I feel
26
.
Now I’m
27
my next volunteer day at school.In fact,I might get there a little earlier so I can spend
28
more time there.

B.walk
