We have nine subjects in all,which are more difficult than before.Every day I spend 3 to 4 hours finishing my homework so there is little time left for activities after class.Besides,the great pressure of exam and high expectations from my parents often make me more tired.The biggest problem I meet now is my maths study,which is much more difficult than in junior middle school.I feel so worried that I don't know how to improve it. I hope I could get some advice from you and I am looking forward to your help. Yours truly, LiHua 读后续写 One possible version: When he got to the front of the hall,he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms.His hands and arms were terribly scarred.The little girl cried out,"This is the man who rescued me!"With a leap,she threw her arms around the man's neck.She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments.Then she looked up and smiled,stating happily she would live with him. When asked her choice,the girl gave people the reasons firmly.She said in a low but determined voice,"I really desire to get a good education that will give me chances to live my dreams.Besides,I know that money means a lot to me since I have no relatives to rely on.But it's the man who saved my life when I was desperately facing a fire like that. Without him,I wouldn't be here,waiting for a new choice.I hope that I can do whatever I can to pay back his kindness." 英语听力试题文本 Text 1 W:Can you tell me where the nearest public bathroom is,please?(1) M:Actually,I'm looking for one myself!Maybe we should ask that policeman over there in front of the post office.I'm sure he'd know.
