It seemed like a typical November day, a month after my grandmother had passed away. I was frustrated by everything that was going on around me.
I was mad and confused about everyone especially when I saw a young girl walking through the store holding her grandmother’s hand. The little girl was begging her grandmother for ice cream just like I used to when I was young. I was jealous of the little girl, because she had something I didn’t have anymore — a grandmother by her side.
I had to force myself to ignore the little girl. She was just too happy for me and that was unacceptable at that time in my world.
I went to the cash register to pay for my things. It was then that my anger quickly shifted from the little girl to the cashier. She took my things to another register. When the cashier gave me my change I didn’t say thank you. I simply took my change and left.
Feeling tired and hopeless, I began walking to my car. As I stood in a public parking lot a million questions formed in my mind. Why did this happen to me? Aren’t we supposed to get signs from the people that passed on? Why didn’t I feel her presence anymore?
Suddenly, a woman driving right by my side rolled down her window. “Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me,” she said loudly. Thinking she was going to ask for my parking spot, I simply pointed to my car. “No, excuse me,” she said again.
Then I felt I had no choice but to see what this annoying lady wanted. She reached to the very bottom of her bag and handed me a three-page booklet. “It looks like that you need this,” she said calmly with a smile on her face.
I looked down at the used booklet and there were some big bold letters on the front cover reading, “What Hope for Dead Loved Ones?” By the time I looked up she had gone.
I felt a sense of relaxation as I read the first page. It explained how people pass on and that their spirit remains with us. It was the first time since my grandmother passed away that I had felt her with me. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but I knew that I finally felt happiness from a stranger.

The Red Sea is an arm of the Indian Ocean that separates the Arabian Peninsula（半岛）from northeastern Africa. The water of the Red Sea is clear, transparent and warm. It is suitable for swimming and bathing. Therefore, the Red Sea attracts lots of tourists.
However, why is the Red Sea believed to be called the Red Sea? There is a variety of reasons. One popular explanation is due to the fact that it is so close to the Egyptian desert, which was once called the Dashret, meaning “red land” by ancient Egyptians. It would have been known as the sea of the red land.
Modern scholars believe that a likely explanation of the name comes from the fact that some Asiatic languages use colors to refer to directions. It is likely that “red” refers to “south”, which is the direction that the Red Sea points to. This theory is emphasized by the Black Sea which points north and it is said that black was once a word for north. There is also Yellow Sea and White Sea.
The origin of the name of the sea is not exactly known as the sea water is not red in color. Its water is mainly blue. However, in some of the most beautiful places on the Red Sea, the water appears red.
The Red Sea is surrounded by reddish mineral-rich mountains. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate （蒸发）quickly, which means the remaining water has a high salt content, so the Red Sea is also called the Salt Sea. These conditions are suitable for a type of algae（海藻）to grow. The algae are red in color, and since there are so many of them, they make the water in the Red Sea appear red.
Besides, sandstorms from the Sahara Desert also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surrounding areas, making it look much redder. After a sandstorm, everything is coated with red sand, creating a unique and beautiful scene.
8. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. The Red Sea B. How the Red Sea Formed
C. The history of the Red Sea D. Why is the Red Sea Red?
9. which of the following colors probably refers to north according to the passage?
A. Black. B. Yellow. C. White. D. Red.
10. The Red Sea is surrounded by ________.
A. valleys. B. mountains. C. the Sahara Desert. D. Sandstorms.
11. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. White Sea points to the south.
B. The hot and dry climate around the Red Sea causes the water to evaporate slowly.
C. The algae are red in color and large in quantity, which makes the water in the-Red Sea appear red.
D. Sandstorms from Asia also bring red sand that covers the Red Sea and the surrounding areas, making it look much redder.
D

作文
Dear Mr. Wang,
I'm Li Hua, a Senior 3 student in our school. I’m sorry to disturb you, but I have to ask a favor of you in the hope that you will be so kind to help me.
Ever since last month, my mother hasn’t allowed me to surf the Internet. In her opinion, it is a waste of time surfing the Internet and it also affects my study. However, I don’t agree with her. With the Internet I can easily find the information I need; I can compare notes with my classmates if I meet with problems in my study, which helps me a lot. Also I can share something that worries me with my friends, which reduces my stress. Faced with my mother’s rigid attitude, what should I do?
I really need your help!
Yours,
Li Hua
