Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport． Two buses travel along their route (路线): the number 49 and number 16． But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it． I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it．
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes． If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The regulations say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting． Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers． Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport． I counted the other passengers as they got off． There were 129 of them．
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers． Can nothing be done to make your service better?
Yours
Tired passenger

Do you know what kind of things the young people are reading? More and more 36 and parents have noticed another kind of pollution, which comes from the printed papers 37 on streets.
These printed things 38 newspapers but have hardly anything to do with 39 . You can only find reading materials badly made up there---some are too strange for anyone to 40 , others are frightening stories of something 41 .However, many of the young readers are getting interested in such 42 reading, which 43 them what they should pay for their breakfast and brings them nightmares（噩梦）and immoral（邪恶）ideas in 44 . Homework is left 45 , and daily games are lost.
These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers, 46 they are, we never know, are 47 their silent money.
The sheep-skinned wolf's story seems to have been forgotten once again .Why not 48 this kind of thing? Yes, both teachers and parents have asked each other for more strict control of the young readers. 49 ,the more you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it. 50 you may even find several children, driven by the curious natures, 51 one patched paper, which has travelled from hand to hand.
It really does 52 to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The 53 teachers and parents need more powerful support in their protection of the young generation. At the same time the young 54 need more interesting books to help them 55 those ugly papers.
