Babu lived in India and worked as a potter(陶工). He spent his days using wet clay(陶土) to shape jars(罐子) and big pots. Babu loved making beautiful pottery, but he was not a rich man. Babu was smart because he could make pottery, but his friends said he was very crafty.
Babu’s son was getting married soon, and his whole family was excited. Weddings(婚礼) in India were big parties. The new husband and wife sometimes rode through town on an elephant after the ceremony(仪式) was over.
Babu wanted to keep that old tradition. This was a problem because Babu didn’t own an elephant. Elephants were expensive to buy, so Babu decided to see if he could rent(租) one for the party.
Babu’s neighbor, Purna, was a rich man who owned many elephants. Purna had never been nice to Babu’s family, but maybe this time he would be different.
Babu knocked on Purna’s door.
“May I please rent one of your elephants on the day of my son’s wedding ” Babu asked as soon as Purna opened the door.
“How can a poor potter like you hope to have enough money to rent one of my elephants ” Purna asked. “My elephants are special.”
“I have saved money for many months to pay for my son’s wedding,” Babu said. “I’ll give you half of the money in this bag to rent one of your elephants.”
“No,” said Purna. “I’ll take the whole bag.” He took the bag from Babu. “You’re lucky! I don’t want more money for my special e and get the animal on the morning of the wedding.”
Babu kept his eyes down until his rich neighbor went into his house. Then he smiled. He had expected(预料) that Purna would want more money, so he had left part of his savings at home. Now the wedding would be perfect.
44. What was “the problem” in the third paragraph
A. Babu didn’t have enough money to help his son get married.
B. Babu didn’t know what to prepare for his son’s wedding.
C. Babu didn’t own an elephant for his son to ride on the wedding.
D. Babu’s son wasn’t able to ride an elephant.

C. Half of the money in the bag. D. All the money in the bag.

76. Dear Mr. Chairperson,
I would like to become a member of the Earth Protection Club. I’m Simon from Class 1, Grade 8. I am a patient and helpful boy. I like our earth.
However, the earth is facing serious problems. Some people cut down forests carelessly. Moreover, some people throw rubbish here and there. As a result, there are more and more natural disasters. Sadly, wild animals have fewer and fewer living areas.
I’d like to join the club because I want to save our earth. I think it’s our duty to protect plants and animals in danger. If I am a member of the club, I can help more people understand the importance of protecting the Earth.
You can email me at Simon@. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Simon

I’m Tina from India. English is one of my favourite subjects, so I went to an English language school in the United States. My class is quite small. There is one student from China, two from Thailand, and one from Japan. We study English every morning, from Monday to Friday. On weekends we visit many famous places.
I’m very lucky because my host family is in a quiet area outside the city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Brown, and their son David. All of us like playing sports, and we always watch sports shows in the evening.
Life is a journey. Come to the Untied States for two months and have fun learning English as I do.
