Dear Tom,
Is everything going fine with you? It has been a long time since we meet last time and I really miss you a lot.
You won’t believe how many I’ve changed. I now spend most of my time study. Absorbed in books, not only have I broadened my horizons, but I have full enriched myself. Keeping your instruction in mind firmly, I took part varieties of after school activities to keep a balance between study but relaxation. For an example, last week, I worked as a volunteer in an old people’s house. The old expressed their sincere warm and appreciation when I helped them, that made me realize the true meaning of life.
I hope we are also enjoying every day as I am. Welcome to China again.
Yours,
Li Hua

Scotland’s wildlife faces a “long march” north to escape global warming and there will be losses along the way, Scotland’s leading conservation body has warned.
Scottish Natural Heritage is to explore ways of helping the country’s animals and plants on their epic (史诗般的) journey, so they can spread from areas that become too warm. too wet or too dry over the coming years. Roads, railways, towns and large open areas represent physical barriers for many kinds of wildlife. but a range of methods can be used to overcome them. Potential solutions include tunnels under or ecoducts (生态桥) over roads and railways; networks of green spaces; increased areas of species-friendly mixed forests and a landscape that is generally more wildlife friendly.
SNH announced the programme — called The Long March. They will initially concentrate on“pinch points” where there is little space for wildlife. The programme takes its name from the “Long March” made by the Chinese Red Army in the 1930s. “Climate change is going to push a whole range of our species north, and it won’t be an easy journey,” SNH’s land use group manager, Duncan said. “The challenges facing our wildlife are similar, although the barriers may be railway lines, motorways and housing estates.
“We need to give wildlife the best possible chance of moving into new climate space by creating stepping stones of suitable habitat in the landscape. By doing this we will give at least some species the opportunity to respond to the warming climate.”
1.Where will the wildlife move to start a new life?
A.Warmer areas. B.More wet places.
C.Colder places. D.The forest.
2.What are the possible solutions to the wildlife on their journey?
A.Railways lines. B.Housing estates.
C.Tunnels. D.Motorways.
3.What can we learn about the wildlife from the last paragraph?
A.The long journey is the best possible chance.
B.Protecting the present habitat is the best way.
C.Moving into new climate space will become extinet.
D.Building stepping stones of suitable habitat is necessary.
4.What is the best title for the text?
