The article on
soil provided timely information about the dangerous realities of soil
degradation(退化)．However，I was disappointed that there was no serious discussion of the
surprising population growth and the demands for living space as
a result．Yes，more mouths to
feed means more farming―and more pressure on the already pressed soil．But besides taking
out the soil’s nutrients to feed so many human bodies，the need for housing also means further
development of land，which means more lost soil，more pollution，and less
food．
JUSTIN VAN KLEECK Charlottesville．Virginia

shortage?

situation of farming．
B．By having pity on
starving children worldwide．
C．By mentioning the
mistakes made in the past．
D．By introducing the
techniques used in Brazil
73．What other problems does Henry Godfrey think should be
discussed?
A．Energy costs and
rising population
B．Organic farming and
carbon footprint．
C．Chemical fertilizers
and farming practices．
D．Food security and
commercial techniques．
74．The third letter emphasizes
.
A．soil degradation B．food supply
C．1and management D．population growth
75．We may conclude that the article mentioned in the three
letters probably focuses on
.
A．soil problems B．food security

Dear Peter,
I’m
very delighted that you are coming here for the holiday. But unfortunately I
will not be able to meet you at the airport as we planned, as I will be hosting
a speech contest at that time. I’m terribly sorry about that. But I have asked
my best friend to go to the airport at 6:00 on Saturday afternoon to meet you.
He will be a the airport when you arrive, holding a board with your name on it.
Then he will take you by taxi to the hotel where we have booked a room for you.
I will call you later to arrange some other time for us to get together.
Wish
you a pleasant journey. And I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours, truly,
LiHua

1 am sure almost every one
of you looked at your watch or clock before you came to class today. Watches
and clocks are very important in our lives，but they were seldom seen in the United
States before the 1850s．In the late 1700s，people did not know
the exact time unless they were
near a clock．There were delightful clocks on the squares of
some European towns built for the public. After all，most people didn’t
have enough money to buy their own watches or clocks．In
the 1 800s in Europe and the United States，the main purpose of a
watch was to show others how
wealthy you were．By then，with the rapid industrial development in the
United States，measuring
time had become very important since
industrialization made it possible to produce large numbers
of watches and clocks in factories．They became very
cheap，and “being on time” gradually came
into the language and our lives
