I am a gorilla and I thump my ____.

Hi, Joe,

How are you? I'm sitting on the balcony of my hotel. I am looking at Hyde Park in London and I am thinking about my life here. I am having a wonderful time. I like my job-it is very interesting, and my colleagues are great. I love London it's busy, noisy, crowded and exciting. The cinemas, theatres, pubs and restaurants are really nice, but they're too expensive! I think the people in London are very friendly (surprise!) and I've got some new friends.

What the weather like in Shanghai? Is it raining? Here it's lovely! It isn't foggy! The sun is shining and the birds are singing. It's very warm.

And it is my birthday today.

But I am missing you all in Shanghai. COME AND VISIT!

Love,

Xiaoyan

听力原文： Hello, I was once a hostess. Now I am on my first bus trip and I'm quite surprised at the services offered during the trip. Included are meals on the way, rest rooms and public address announcements.

Just now, I introduced myself to the hostess on the bus, and we told each other about experience on air and ground travel.

At lunch time, she gave out menus offering a choice of sandwiches. As she started filling orders, she found that there weren't enough egg-salad sandwiches. She quickly went to whisper to the driver. The bus soon stopped. The hostess ran to another bum that was all the time following ours and she soon returned with a box of egg-salad sandwiches. As she passed my seat, she asked, "Could you do that on a plane?"

According to this passage, what kind of vehicle did the speaker always ride in the past?

A．By bus.

B．By air.

C．By train.

"I love you, Bob." "I love you, too, Nancy." It was 2 a.m. and I was hearing my parents' voices through the thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touching— and surprising.

My parents married on September 14,1940, alter a brief dating. She was nearly 30 and knew it was time to 'start a family. The handsome, well-educated man wh0 came by the, office where she worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romance didn't last long.

Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated the thought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at the bridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the perceived shortcomings of their respective in-laws.

There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the angry winds did calm somewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. "I always thought we'd..." my mother would begin, before launching into a precise listing of my father's faults. The complaints were recited so often, I can repeat them by heart today. As he listened, my father would say angry threats and curses in a low voice.

It wasn't the happiest marriage, but as their 602 anniversary(纪念日)approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after alit why not try to make the best of things? We'd provide the cake, the balloons, the toasts, and they'd follow one rule: no fighting.

The agreement was honored. We had a wonderful day. When we thought back, we found it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began to change for my parents.
