Dear Mr. and Mrs. Johnson,
I’m writing to you from my home in China. I returned at home safe and sound. When I think of the wonderful two weeks I spend in Australia, I just can’t help think of both of you. It was so kind for you to have provided everything to make my stay here pleasant. It was a happy and luck experience. Not only has my English improved and I’ve also learned so much about your culture. And I enjoyed all the funs we shred together. Thank you very much. I’ll always remember your kind as well as this trip.
I’ll keep touch with you and write to you later. Please take care!
Yours,
Li Ming

Dear young musicians,
Thank you for agreeing to take part in our Music Day. The whole idea of the day is for music students around the area to meet other players and receive expert teaching from our guests, six professional players. In the evening,you will perform the pieces you have worked on during the day at a concert which your friends and family can attend
After you have registered（注册) at the reception,go to the main hall. First,there will be a short performance by our professional musicians who are joining us for the day. After this you will go into your classes to practice on your own instruments for the evening concert. There will also be a chance to experiment with a different institiment from the one you normally play,and see if you enjoy playing something more unusual — we have several instruments to choose from!
The first part of the day will finish at 5 pm,when parents can collect students. For those remaining in the hall until the evening concert at 7 pm,there will be DVDs for you to watch,although you should also bring something to do while you are waiting. A change ot clothes is required for the evening — black trousers or a skirt and white top — so unless you are going home at 5 pm,you will need to have this with you at the start of the day.

Your next car could have two seats, three wheels---two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour. Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio. Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side. The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.
The starting price for the car is just $6,800. It has only one door, on the left side, which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs. Having three wheels also makes it cheaper. It has air conditioning, power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio. More features can be ordered through Elio’s long list of suppliers. Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).
Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors. In 2008, tired of high gas prices, he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way. Equally important to him was creating U.S. manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old, unreliable (不可靠的)cars. “Whatever matters to you, this can move the needle on it,” he said.
Already, more than 27,000 people have reserved (预订)one. Paul hopes to make 250,000 cars a year by 2016. So far, reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second car or third car for work. Finally, though, he believes the car will interest high school and college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable.
1.Which of the following shows the design of the Elio?
(O=wheel, □=seat)
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
2.Paragraph 2 shows that the Elio ________.
A. is sold at affordable prices
B. will be available in most stores
C. has a fixed temperature
D. does no harm to the environment
3.The underlined words “move the needle” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “________”.
A. take a chance B. stand in the way
C. break into pieces D. make a difference
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. The history of Elio Motors B. Cool and practical vehicle
C. Paul Elio: a kid with big dreams D. What car to choose: new or used?
