When I was nine years old, I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 1 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could 2 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was 3 . Oh, a letter! From Singapore! I would run back home and show it to my 4 . When there was a letter for me, I wouldn’t run—I would open it right there.
After my family moved back to Singapore, I 5 going to the post office. Years later, my company sent me to Shanghai, and the post office found me again. Two years ago I celebrated my 6 with five friends on top of the mountain in Longsheng, China. At sunrise we 7 up to a beautiful view from the mountain top. Later in the afternoon, as we were going 8 the mountain and returning from the sunrise viewing place, a 9 shop caught our attention. It only sold noodles, coffee and had a China 10 sign.
We asked the owner if she could really send mail. She happily said yes. It seemed hard to believe, 11 we were at the highest top of the mountain. I picked one postcard out and asked my friends to write 12 a birthday note. We bought a stamp, wrote some notes and gave the shop owner the postcard.
Three weeks later, I arrived home and 13 my mailbox: Hello, postcard! I broke into a big smile.
That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had 14 the post office all these years. Today I 15 send postcards to friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile—how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.

四、阅读理解。
Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do
you know it is far from elegant (优雅的) English? In fact, foreigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.
Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restaurant menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.
“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Men” and “Ladies/Women”.
“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example, when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province’, I know heshould say: ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place in a province.” The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.

A. 让我们做鸟类的朋友 (Let us do the birds’ friend) B. 小心台阶（Careful step）
C. 小心碰头（Look out knock head） D. 有您的参与垃圾不会无家可归
（If you would like to join us, rubbish will never be homeless.）
( )5. The last paragraph is about _______.
A. why there are so many Chinglish signs B. examples of Chinglish
C. where Chinglish signs are D. who uses Chinglish signs
People use their mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.”
Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth.” Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的) experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say: “I had my heart in my mouth.”Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person “was born with a silver spoon (银勺) in his mouth”. He is the opposite of a person living from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

A. feel sorry B. feel excited C. feel proud D. feel surprised
