Welcome to Cape Town — the city that has everything!
(2019·佛山高一检测)
About two million tourists visit Cape Town every year. It isn’t the capital city (that’s Pretoria), and it

tourists for its many attractions and activities. From the beautiful views and sunny beaches to great
shopping, Cape Town has something for everyone. In fact, a vacation in Cape Town is unforgettable!

Water sports & diving
Cape Town’s beaches are perfect for water sports. Scuba diving is also popular. The many shipwrecks
(失事船只) along the coastline offer some excellent dives. The more adventurous diver can even try shark
cage (鲨鱼笼) diving to get eye-to-eye with a great white! If you aren’t so adventurous, try a visit to
Boulders Beach. It’s part of a protected area for the African penguin. You can walk around on wooden
roads and watch the penguins in their natural environment. It’s great for swimming too, if you don’t mind
coming face-to-face with a penguin or two!
Cape Town’s weather is pleasant. In summer, it’s about 26℃ (and remember, mid-summer here is
January! ), and the winter temperatures don’t usually fall below 10℃. The local money is the rand. There
are one hundred cents to every rand. The three main languages are Xhosa, English and Afrikaans. The
population of Cape Town is about 3. 5 million.

Students at St. Peter’s Lutheran School are helping fight hunger in Guatemala by volunteering (自愿
参加) with Love the Hungry, a non-profit (非营利的) organization.
The school’s student body helped package 20, 000 meals for the organization based in Louisville,
Kentucky.
St. Peter’s Lutheran has worked with the organization over the last few years. But this year it provided
more help by asking a larger part of its students to take part, said Scott Krueger, a parent of three
daughters who attend the school.
Students wearing gloves lined up on both sides of tables set up in the school’s gym as part of the
packaging step. The job required scooping (舀取) food such as rice and other food from a large box that
were provided by Love the Hungry.
Krueger, who also was volunteering for Love the Hungry, said he felt it was important for students to
take part in it and see the importance of their work during the Sept. 13 event.
“This is one way to try to give back, ” Krueger said.
Love the Hungry, which was created in 2012, gives great attention to packaging healthy meals that
can prevent malnutrition (营养不良) in young children, said Dale Oelker, the director.
Other than Guatemala, Love the Hungry also offers food to Nicaragua, El Salvador, Haiti and
countries in West Africa such as Sierra Leone, Mali and Sudan.
Fifth-grader Sydney Johnson was among the hundreds of students who helped and said she felt it was
important to make a difference for the hungry people.
“It makes me feel good how we all helped out, ” Johnson said.
Love the Hungry plans to offer 100, 000 to 150, 000 meals to Guatemala before the end of the year,
Oelker said.
“It’s a part of the world that this type of meal can really help, ” said Oelker. “We are glad to work with
St. Peter’s Lutheran School and it proves how volunteers of all ages can make a difference. ”

【参考范文】
Dear Jim,
I’m happy to receive your letter and know you’re coming to China.
Of the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, both are highly recommended. Personally, I
prefer the tour along the Yangtze River, the longest river and one of the mother rivers of Chinese
civilization. You can learn a lot about the history of China and Chinese people. Moreover, the scenery
along the river is amazing, with many well-known sightseeing spots. That’s why I think the trip along the
Yangtze River will be a better choice.
Hope you’ll have a good time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua
