In the past, when people had problems, they went to their families to get advice. Today it is possible to get advice from radio shows, TV programs and telephone hot lines, too. A telephone hot line is the easiest way of getting in touch with advisers. Callers don’t have to give their
names and telephone numbers on most hot lines. Most hot lines are usually free, too. Callers do not have to pay for the advice to the phone calls,even if the calls are long distance. At some
hot lines, the advisers are volunteers. Other hot lines pay their advisers for their work. About ninety percent of the advisers are professionals with years of education and experience, but sometimes, the advisers take a short class before starting to work on the hot line. All the advisers listen to people and help them settle their problems.

VII. Writing(略)
A good book is a good friend. I’d like to introduce a good book Harry Potter to my cousin
Tom.
Harry Potter is a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The book tells us the adventures of Harry Potter and his friends from the Hogwarts School. Although the characters are complex, we get attached to them easily and feel for their pain and happiness. What’s more, it makes people think what they should do for the people they love and what is really important in life.
My cousin Tom is a little boy who is crazy about magic tales and stories. Harry Potter can
show him a fascinating world and inspire his imagination. The strong and lovely characters can help him build his own personality. I’m sure he can also learn about love and friendship from the book.
I do hope Tom will like the book and my recommendation can help him grow up quickly.

D. Answer the questions. (根据短文内容答下列问
A clever pigeon(鸽子) just wants a chance to drive a bus or eat a hot dog. Will he succeed? A young girl loses her favourite toy in the park. What will she do? These are just a few of the questions raised in the books of award-winning author Mo Willems.
His picture book Don’ t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! has been named a Caldecott Honor book. Willems has also written The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog! and many other books.
Before writing books, Willems spent many years writing for television. He is now the head
writer for Cartoon Networ k’ s program: Kids Next Door. The reporter asked Willems about his writing.
Reporter: What makes the great picture book attract readers of all ages?
Willems: The difference between adults and kids is that kids are shorter. They are exactly the same. They don’ t like being talked down to. And they like funny stories. I’ m not writing things that I think kids will like. I’ m writing things just I like and I believe that’ s good enough for kids and for everyone else to enjoy.
Reporter: What a strong character! How confident you are! What five words would you use to describe yourself?
Willems: I can do it in three: I like fun.
Reporter: Do you have any words of wisdom for kids?
Willems: People who say that you can do anything you want are not honest. Other people tell you that you can do something, and that’ s true. You can’ t do everything. You can’ t fly. You don ’ t have super powers but you can do some things. If you work hard enough, and figure out what those things are, you can do them.
Reporter: Actually, you share a common journey through life with readers in your books. Your humor can be a good way of developing better relationships among various people. Thank you very much for taking the time for the interview.

Early that morning, Tom didn't go to work as usual. He thought he had caught a cold and phoned the restaurant to ask for leave. But Tom didn't really feel ill enough to stay in bed. Instead, he decided to go to the new shopping mall to buy a watch. The mall was interesting so he spent a few hours looking around. He felt hungry and bought some popcorn(爆米
Tom was rather surprised, but he had seen the bird show at Ocean Park. He stretched out his arm and the parrot flew down and happily climbed on to his shoulder, and then on to his head.
The parrot was quite friendly. So Tom just stood there with the parrot on his head.
The crowd of people grew and grew. A newspaper reporter heard the noise, saw the crowd and decided to investigate. This is what happened: the parrot escaped from the owner's flat by flying out of the window. It enjoyed itself during the daytime, but when evening came the bird tried to find its home, without success.
By the time the parrot found Tom, it had been free for two days and it was very hungry. It had had a drink from the fountain but it hadn't had anything to eat at all. Popcorn was not its favourite food, but there was nothing else. So when it saw Tom it was very pleased. It wanted a friend, it needed some food and it was hoping to go home.
Several hours later, the SPCA contacted (联系 ) the owner. He came to the mall with a bag of peanuts, which the parrot liked even better than popcorn. He put the peanuts into a cage and the parrot hopped in.
Tom relaxed at last. He was tired and hungry, but the Parrot's owner thanked him and even gave him a reward— just enough to buy the watch.
71. Tom didn't go to work that morning because he didn't feel well.
72. In order to feed some birds there Tom bought a packet of popcorn.
73. Tom stood with fear when the parrot climbed on to his shoulder and head.
74. The parrot escaped from a flat two days before it saw Tom in the mall.
75. At that time the homeless parrot was not only hungry but also thirsty.
76. The newspaper reporter found out the owner and contacted him at once.
77. The owner gave Tom a watch, so Tom didn't need to buy one himself.

With help from more tribe members, they were able to climb to the top of the mountain carrying the piano. The piano had arrived at its new home in the Amazon!

Annie Oakley was born in 1860 in Ohio. Living on a farm, she quickly learned to shoot (射击) . When only 9 years old, she brought in small animals to the family table. By 16, she was selling some of the animals she shot for food. Thus she helped pay off the mortgage (按揭 ) on the family farm.
One day in 1876, Annie heard of famous Frank Butler. He was travelling about the country performing his shooting on stage. He often accepted challenges(挑战) from people who thought they could outshoot him, but they almost never did. When Annie heard about him, she became excited.
Some years later, Annie and Frank joined the famous Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. The cowboys, Native Americans, Pony Express riders, bucking broncos, and stagecoaches each gave their performance. But the favourite of the audiences was usually Annie Oakley. Annie's fame (名声) spread far and wide. To show her excellent skill, she shot in half a playing card from 30 paces and consistently shot a dime flipped in the air. Most breathtaking of all was her shooting off a cigarette held between her husband's lips.
Many stones grew about Annie s shooting ability. The following story is rather exaggerated(夸张) . One afternoon,
Annie saw a raccoon(浣熊) alone up a tree. She quickly clapped her gun to her shoulder and was about to shoot when the raccoon lifted a paw and said,
“Then,” said the raccoon, “ you can let down your gun. I may as well come down.” With that the animal walked right down from the tree because he considered himself shot.
