On Thanksgiving Day, a teacher asked her class of first-graders to draw a picture of something they were thankful for. She thought that these children from poor families actually had little to be thankful for. And she found most of them drawing pictures of flowers or tables with food. The teacher was very surprised to see the picture Douglas handed in. It’s a hand, a simple hand. But whose hand? The class were very interested in the strange picture.

"I think it must be the hand of God that brings us food,” said one child. "A farmer” said another, "because he grows beautiful flowers.” Finally when the others were at work, the teacher went over Douglas’ desk and asked whose hand it was.

"It’s your hand, Teacher,” he said quietly and shyly.

        She remembered that she had often taken Douglas, a dirty lonely child, by the hand while having a class break. She often did that with the children. But it meant so much to Douglas. Perhaps this is everyone’s thanksgiving, not for the material things we get, but for the chance, in whatever small way, to give to others.

The British Museum is the biggest museum in the world. Inside, you feel smaller than usual. There are about a hundred things to see.

     The story of the British Museum goes back three hundred years to one unusual man, Sir Hans Sloane, doctor to King George II. The doctor collected books, drawings, clothes, money, animals, flowers, things from all over the world. The doctor wanted everything to stay together when he died, so that people could come and have a look. The British Museum began. King George II gave his library, and the museum started to grow.

     The British Museum opened in 1759, six years after Sir Hans Sloane died. At first the museum was only open three days a week and only ten people could enter in an hour. There wasn’t much time to see things. Visitors had to run though the rooms.

     By about 1800, things began to get better. Wonderful statues, three thousand years old, arrived from Egypt.

     King George IV sold all his books to the museum secretly. A hundred years ago not only old books but also new ones arrived at the museum, and more people came to read them. Since them many famous men have written and studied there. And the library is growing faster and faster. There are four kilometers of new shelves every year and there are about two million visitors every year.

If you had only 45 minutes to stay with your family a day, what would you do?

Watching TV or eating? According to the latest survey about family life in Britain, many people probably do both at the same time. The results of the survey of 3,000 children and parents signal a worrying problem: The family relationship is becoming worse. Some experts (专家) say that the problem is caused by a “family-unfriendly culture”. The results show that most families get together for only 45 minutes a day. And most of the time is spent either in front of the TV or eating.

There are two girls in my family — my sister and I. Our parents never play with us and they don’t think they should do this. When we go outside and play with other children, our mother usually does housework or cooks. When our father gets back home, we have dinner together. And then we go out to play again after having helped wash the dishes. Our parents don’t always help us do anything we can — sometimes they even encourage us to do something difficult on our own. They think this is a much better way to educate children. In fact, we hope our parents can read to us before we go to bed. We hope to spend more time with them.”

37The problem from the results of the latest survey is that ____________________________.

A. people spend too much time watching TV 　　　            

B. the family unit is becoming worse and worse 

C. parents always help children to do everything

B. they may not help wash the dishes any more

C. their parents can spend more time with them

D. they t can go outside to play with other children

I am amazed that great changes have taken place in this city in the past few years. I find our lives have improved a lot. Our city becomes more and more becautiful. People become more and more polite. But I also find some problems to be corrected. The roads near schools become more and more crowded. Some people do not wit in line and there are too many people on the bus. During the rush hour, the traffic is heavy. So I advise that we should wait in line when we get on the bus. Besides, we should also protect our environment. And do not produce too much pollution.

    I hope my letter is of some help to improve Hefei and make it a better city in the future.

                                                                                                                                            Yours
