Dear Susan,
Thank you for your letter. Due to the fact that I am on business in another city, I couldn't reply to your letter in time. Now I am writing to tell you that my city has done to reduce traffic jams in the last few years.
First of all, two subways and some expressways have built in my city to ease the traffic pressures. Second, oneway traffic is allowing on some main streets to reduce traffic jams and accidents. Third, public transportation has been improved to make convenient for people to take buses. However, the parking fee is raised in the downtown, which helps to reduce the number of cars come in and out.
Now there are more buses and few cars in my city. The traffic is flowing smooth during the rush hour.
Can you tell me something about the traffic in your city?
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文:
Some people complain that it is hard to build up a good parentchild relationship because of the generation gap. In my opinion, this mainly results from misunderstandings or a lack of communication.
There isn't such a problem in my family. Whenever I am in a difficult situation or have trouble making decisions, I turn to my parents for advice. They are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me. When my parents have difficulties, they also ask for my advice. I like this way of solving problems. In addition, my parents never force me to do what I don't like. I'm glad I have such good parents.
练(二阅读理解组合练——练短板
(限时:15分钟)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2016·大连市第二十高级中学高三月考)The principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lately. In the past, people preferred a handwritten application letter. However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet. You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs. Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself.
The importance of body language is often mentioned, but doesn't always get the attention it deserves. After all, before a word has even been spoken, your body language will have already given people their first impression of you. Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information. Based on your body language it can be seen if you are selfconfident. It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not. Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person, someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time. The members of the application committee will ask you questions, but your answers won't only be oral. The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it! Body language will determine first if it “clicks”, and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds. Everybody uses body language, but it takes place mostly at a subconscious (下意识的) level. Using body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job.
