Henry has recently received a letter from Paul, his pen-friend living in Canada. Here is the letter:
Dear Henry,
Thanks very much for your email, which I want to reply to for ages.
I have finished all my exams. The last one was History. It's extremely horrible because our teacher set a lot of
long questions but only a few multiple choice items. I think this subject is difficult because there're lots of facts and
dates to remember. I've got a poor memory and I hate to remember things. I'm afraid I won't pass the examination.
So this is the end of Year 8, my second year at secondary school. I did eight subjects in total. The worst were

History and French. I find them very boring and difficult to learn. I've already forgotten most of the things I was
taught! I need to study hard next year.
I liked Geography best this year, but we only had it twice a week. Our Geography teacher, Mr. Hill, is great.
He taught the subject very well. He didn't like to spoon-feed students with lots of facts. He preferred to let us learn
independently. He didn't give us any homework the whole year. Perhaps he hated doing homework when he's a
student!
We did a project with Mr. Hill about several countries in Europe and Asia. Some of my friends went to the
library for photos and I used the internet to search for appropriate information. Mr. Hill gave us a lot of valuable
advice. At the end of the term, we gave an oral presentation in front of the class. I'd like to be a pilot, then I could
travel and see all those places.
I'm going to visit Tokyo with my three classmates next month. We won't stay in a hotel because my uncle has
a large house there. You visited ·Tokyo last year, didn't you? Do you think we need to learn some Japanese before
our journey? You've told me that Japanese food is delicious, haven't you? We'll have the opportunity to try it
ourselves soon! I've saved money for the journey for nearly half a year. We're all very excited about it.
Please tell me about your year at school. Were your exams easy?
Best wishes,
Paul

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题).
In the1800s, the steam locomotive (蒸汽火车头) was considered by many to be a symbol of the new
Industrial Age. It was, in fact, one of the most important inventions of the time. Over the years, there have been
many changes to the locomotive. One of the most important has been its source of power.
The first railroads used horses for power, but the development of the steam locomotive made railroads a
practical way of transportation. The first steam locomotive was built in 1804 in Britain by Richard Trevithick. It
could pull 50,000 pounds, but it was not very successful because it was so heavy that it caused the rails to fall
apart. However, it encouraged other engineers to try to build steam locomotives. Two of the most important men
to accept the challenge were George Stephenson and his son, Robert. Robert once won a contest to build the best
locomotive. The Rocket, as he called it, had an average speed of 20 miles per hour, and the top speed was 29 miles
per hour.
In America, developments in steam engines were close behind those of the British. In 1830, Peter Cooper’s
tiny locomotive, called Tom Thumb, lost a famous race against a horse-drawn coach. Although Peter Copper failed,
it still made railroad officials believe that steam power was more practical than horse power.
Just before the turn of the century, the electric locomotive became widely in use. Its most successful period
was the 1940s when U.S. railroads had 2,400 miles of electric routes.
The diesel (柴油) locomotive was invented in the 1890s by Rudolf Diesel, a German engineer. The power of
this locomotive came from a diesel fuel engine. The diesel locomotive is still in use today. It costs about twice as
much as a steam locomotive to build but it is much cheaper to operate.

【答案】例文：
That day, I solved a trouble
Since I became a Grade 9 student, I have had a colourful school life. However, I still meet with some troubles.
One day, it was my grandma’s eightieth birthday. It was really a meaningful day for my family. Since my parents
were occupied with the decoration of the house, they asked me to order a cake. However, I was so careless that I
left the matter behind my mind when my friends invited me to play basketball that day. I felt sorry for that, but I
didn’t lose myself in self-blame. I made a handmade cake with cookies and colourful candies. Grandma was very
happy when she saw the special cake.
When terrible things happen, what we should do is not to find fault with others, but to use our intelligent brain
to solve them. In our daily life, there are occasions when we are faced with something unpleasant. And self-blame,
which is always the first choice of some people, is really of little use in solving the problems.
