''True friendship is like sound health. The value of it is seldom known until it is lost," Charles

Caleb Colton said. Just like in any other relationship, arguments and fights are also part of friendship. You will hardly find fiends who have never fought with one another. Whatever the reason is, if a person feels that he is responsible for causing the differences, it is important that he should say sorry to his friend.

Though you can use the email, text messages or chat for expressing your apology, the good old

way of saying sorry to your friend through a letter will surely have a great effect on him. This will make your friend realize that your efforts of saying sorry are genuine and that you really care about him.

Points to Remember:

Timing: Write the letter at the proper time. It is not advisable to put it off for too long.

Words: While you are writing the letter, what matters most is that you truly feel sorry.

Sequence (順序): Always begin by apologizing and saying sorry for your mistake. Then explain

to him your side of the story. In the third and last paragraph, talk about what his friendship means to you and make a promise of not repeating the mistake.

Delivery: You should either post the letter or deliver it personally or through someone else. You

can also keep it at a location where your friend will be able to find it easily.

Some people may try to point out the fiends mistake while writing the letter. Avoid this

completely, as it can make matters worse. The letter has to be brief and should only talk about the subject that has led to your apology. Keep patient and do not expect immediate results. In some cases, it may take time for the person to forgive and forget.

My father and I were both angry. "Never set foot in this house again! "shouted my father. With

tears in my eyes, I rushed out to the street.

I walked aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me I seemed to see

my childhood from another space: happy.

But now. I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because my dad is getting old.

We have different ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions on me. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

I walked in the streets. My heart was cold on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were

fewer and fewer people in the streets, until I had only the street lights with me. When I finally reached the building where I lived, I saw that the light was still on.

I thought to myself: "Is my father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me? "

In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, my dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he

thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except my father's.

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he

never showed any moments of regret. However, after an argument he has the habit of tucking me underneath the covers while I am sleeping.

This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to

do has become his second nature.

The light was still on. "Am I wrong? "I whispered, maybe … With the key in my hand, I was as

nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that there wasn't the iron door that I had imagined between us at all. Love--- it’s second to none.

26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The father didn't like his son's stamp collecting.

B. The son and his father needed communication.

C. The father opened the door for the son when he came hack

D. The boy fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.

27. Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage?

a. I opened the door and entered the house.

b. Sadly I ran out into the street.

c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my home still brightly lit.

d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.

e. I walked about in the street without any aim.

A. b, e, c, d, a B. b, e, d, c, a C. b, e, a, c, d D. b, e, c, a, d

28. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?

A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.

B. The father is neither kind nor rude to his son.

C. The father loves his son very much in fact.

D. The father is always finding his son wrong.

Phil Wise's heart raced as he opened one of the transport tubes. He and a team of scientists

stepped back as a young Tasmanian devil (袋獾) named Oddity came out. Oddity took a cautious look around and then ran into the forest on Maria Island.

Wise is a wildlife scientist from the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program. The scientists working

with this program study Tasmanian devils, monitor their health, and track the devils found in the wild. Oddity and 14 others were raised in a reserve and then brought to Maria Island to be released (釋放) into the wild. Though they are raised in zoos all over the world, devils live wild only in Tasmania. They are important to the ecosystem(生態(tài)系統(tǒng)) because they eat dead animals they find, which helps clean up the environment. Devils also eat animals such as wallabies, wombats, and possums, helping to keep those populations balanced.

But a cancer. called Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD) is killing devils on mainland Tasmania,
