Ⅱ.2017·宜宾阅读理解(6分钟)
An old man went to live with his son, his daughterinlaw, and a fouryearold grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was very poor, and he couldn't walk steadily(平稳地). The family ate together nightly at the dinner table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating rather difficult. Rice often dropped on the floor.
The son and the daughterinlaw became angry with the old man, so they put a small table in the corner. There, the grandfather ate alone, while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner at the table. Since the grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
The fouryearold son watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with a piece of wood on the floor. He asked the child sweetly, “What are you making？” The boy answered, “Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and mama to eat your food from when I grow up.” The fouryearold son smiled and went back to work. The words struck the parents so that they were in silence. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took the grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table.

Ⅳ.One possible version：
Dear Bill，
Thanks for your last e mail. I'm glad to tell you that our scores of P．E. add up to 60 at the Senior High School Entrance Examination, which encourages us to take an active part in exercise. As you know, my favorite subject is P．E. I think doing sports is good for both my health and my study. I did very well in the exam, too.
In the past, I practiced carefully in each P．E. class, learning to play basketball, run and so on. On weekends I usually played ping pong with my friends.
However, I can't swim. During the coming summer vacation, I'll learn it. In senior high school, I plan to join the swimming club. Can you give me more advice?
Look forward to your e mail.
Yours，
Li Hua
