I want to tell you something about your grandma’s time. I was born sixty-eight years ago in a small village. Transportation used to be a big problem. When we traveled from village to village,  we used to walk or ride horses. Shopping was not an easy job, either. There were no supermarkets in the neighborhood. We used to grow most of our own food: rice and vegetables. We kept things cool in a special underground room. The biggest difference is that you have electricity. We didn’t have electricity until very late in our small village. We didn’t have any televisions of course. We used to perform our local（地方的）music and enjoy it very much. Life used to be very hard, but I was not upset. I would like you to know about the old days and be happy about what you have when you grow up. Remember, feeling good about life is the key to happiness. Love, Your grandma 1. This letter is written by ______.

B The morning was cold and clear. A yellow bus came around the corner and stopped near a wood (树林). A coach asked the students to get off the bus. Girls began to gather by the starting line. One of them is a young little girl. She had prepared for this running race for the whole summer. She looked around at the other girls noticing how different she was. There was a break in the silence and everyone started to run. After about twenty five minutes every runner finished the race except the girl. She was still running for the next forty minutes. As she came near the finishing line she saw her parents classmates and the coach. They shouted her name and told her not to stop until the end. The sweat (汗水) was flowing down her face. She kept on running until she crossed the line. I was that girl and that was the first time I had finished a cross-country race (越野赛跑).
