But people in the Australian outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call him on a two-way radio. This specialdoctor is called the “flying doctor”. He visits sick people by plane.When someone is very sick, the doctor has to fly to the person’s home. His plane lands on a flat piece of ground near the person’s house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take about 8,600 people to hospital each year.However, most of the time the person isn’t very sick, and the doctor doesn’t have to visit. He can give advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine from a special medicine chest (箱子). There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube (管子) and packet (包) in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this,” take two tablets (药片) from bottle 5 every four hours.”21. Some people in the Australian outback can’t get to a doctor quickly. Because_________A. there are few doctors thereB. the nearest doctor is sometimes very far away from themC. there is always heavy traffic on the roadD. they don’t want to see a doctor22. The word “outback” in the passage probably means__________.A. the part of a country far away from citiesB. downtownC .forest D. market-place23.

A study of more than 1,000 pupils in the city of Lawrence suggests it does.Youngsters who took part in the breakfast program improved their scores in the tests much more than those who didn’t. Among those who attended the program, fewer were found late for school than those who didn’t. And much fewer were found absent from their classes.“Starting the day with a meal appears to be quite helpful,” says Amy Sampson, a research professor, who carried out the experiment on the students for a year. Students who miss breakfast may be losing out on important nourishment in fruit, milk, bread and so on. If you are in a hurry in the morning, get you some pieces of bread with some fruit or yogurt. In that case, you won’t have to go to the selling machines for some chips or candy bars.28. According to the passage, pupils who took part in the breakfast program ______.A. are clever than those who didn’tB. are healthier than those who didn’tC. were often late for schoolD. made greater progress in the study than those who didn’t29.

How to become clever?DThe Taj Mahal (泰姬陵)is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world and the finest example of the late style of Indian architecture (建筑).It is at Agra in northern India. It lies beside the River Jumna in the middle of gardens with quiet pools.The Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor (皇帝) Shah Jehan, who ruled India in the seventeenth century. It is in memory of his favorite wife, Arjumand Banu Bagam, known as Mumtaz Mahal, who died in 1631. The building, which was completed between 1632 and 1638,was designed by a local Muslim architect(建筑师),Ustad Ahmad Lahori. The whole building, with gardens and gateway structures, was completed in 1643. The Taj Mahal stands at one end of the garden tomb with marble (大理石)path. The room is softly lighted by the light that passes through double screens of carved marble set high in the walls. The building now is kept in good condition.It took 22 years to build the Taj Mahal. Shah Jehan planned a similar building, but in black instead of white, to lie on the other side of the river. But before it could be built. Shah Jehan was imprisoned (监禁)by his son and buried next to his wife in the Taj Mahal.32.The Taj Mahal was built for________.A. MumtazB.

This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating , sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.(37) A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class. (38) Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. (39) If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.(40) You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.E. Maybe you are an average student.F. Make full use of class time to take notes of what the teacher says in class.G.

like him to be home so early.The disbelief on his face told me that something was up."Do you still have a job?""No.Redundant," he answered,looking away from me."OK.We'll figure it out," I replied calmly.I actually had no idea how we were going to figure it out.I immediately started to think of how we'd cut costs and who we shouldstart to get in touch with.That night,after David had fallen asleep,I cried myself to sleep,and frequently sobbed(抽泣)in the shower in the days that followed.I knew the loss of David's income would have great effect on us.He had worked for the same company for twenty﹣one years and was our main income.I work at home caring for Laura,and my income is uncertain.We have debts,and job hunting takes time.Still,I was more concerned about my husband's emotional state than our financial situation.David's sense of identity was tied to his job.He called his parents to tell them about losing his job,but didn't say a word to anyone else for weeks.He told me that he felt like "a failure".It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployment.One night several weeks after he lost his job,David woke me just before midnight,sweating,pacing the bedroom

heart attack and the treatment.C.How the writer supported David to get through the jobless period.D.What the writer did to help get some income.13.(8分)Most people can't live to 100.Those who do live so long can hardly walk,let alone take part in any activities.A few people,however,take part in dangerous activities even though they are more than 100 years old﹣They keep going and going! There is a great grandmother who likes challenging herself although she is 101 years old this year.Mary Hardison believes that people should always be cheerful and more importantly,take on all kinds of adventures while they physically still can.So,instead of celebrating her 101st birthday with a boring party,she decided to go paragliding(滑翔跳伞)﹣an idea she got from her 75﹣year﹣old son who recently took it up as a hobby.So on her birthday,cheered on by her big family,shetied herself up together with expert instructor Kevin Hintze,and jumped down fearlessly from the sky near her home in Ogden,Utah.And,it was not just a simple jump either.According to Kevin Hintze,the grandmother encouraged him to turn around,as they made their way down.This is not the first time that Mary has done something "wild" and "crazy".For her 90th birthday she rode all the adult rides at Disneyland.And,she is not done yet﹣For her 102nd birthday she hopes to go down the 3,000 feet Alpine Slide at Utah's Park City Mountain Resort!Not surprisingly,this great action has made Mary Hardison very famous and also earned her a place in the Guinness World Records where she broke a 2007 record set by a 100﹣year﹣old British woman.What an amazing lady!(1)What do we know about Mary Hardison?A.She took up paragliding as her hobby at the age of 75.B.She is a 101﹣year﹣old lady who likes challenging herself.C.She was recorded in the Guinness World Records in 2007.D.She is the oldest woman in the Guinness World Records.(2)From whom did Mary get the idea of going paragliding?A.A 100﹣year﹣old British woman.B.Kevin Hintze.C.Her grandson.D.Her 75﹣year﹣old son.(3)How does the author feel about Mary's action?A.Amazed.B.Supportive.C.Doubtful.D.Worried.(4)The text is likely to appear in.A.a news reportB.an advertisementC.a novelD.a science report14.(8分)Over millions of years,African penguins have developed a keen sense of where to find food.Once they're old enough,they set off from the shores on which they were hatched(孵化)for the first time and swim long distances in search of tasty fish like anchovies andsardines.But they don't search directly for the fish themselves.When African penguins head out to sea,they look for areas with low surface temperatures and high chlorophyll(叶绿素).Because those conditions signal the presence of algae(藻类).And lots of algae means lots of plankton(浮游动物),which in turn means lots of their favorite fish.Well,that's what it used to mean.Climate change plus overfishing have made the penguin feeding grounds a mirage(海市蜃楼).The habitat is indeed plankton﹣rich,but now it's fish﹣poor.Researchers call this an "ecological trap." "It's a situation where you have a signal that previously pointed an animal towards good﹣quality habitat.That habitat has been changed,usually by human pressures.The signal stays,but the quality in the environment gets worse."Richard Sherley,a zoologist at the University of Exeter and his team used satellite imaging to track the African penguins from eight sites along southern Africa.Historically,the birds benefited from tons of fish off the coasts of Angola,Namibia and western South Africa,but now they're going hungry."I was really hoping we'd see them going east,andfinding areas which the fish had moved to but it ends up being quite a sad story for the penguins." said Richard.The researchers calculate that by falling into this ecological trap,African penguin populations on South Africa's Western Cape have declined by around 80 percent.Some research groups are exploring the idea of moving them to a place where they can't get trapped,like the Eastern Cape.But Sherley thinks that a solution in the long run means making and carrying out rules to create more sustainable(可持续的)fishing industry,which needs public support.(1)How do penguins find their food?A.They discover fish with their keen sense.B.They swim long distances directly for fish.C.They make signals to each other when finding fish.D.They look for warmer and greener areas.(2)What is an ecological trap for the African penguins?A.A trap set to catch penguins.B.A good fish habitat with few fish.C.A habitat rich in plankton.D.A mirage on the sea.(3)What can be done to help the penguins in the long run?A.Move the penguins to other places.B.Create nature reserves for penguins.C.Keep a balanced fishing industry.D.Increase the population of penguins.(4)What is the main idea of the passage?A.African penguins are losing their habitats.B.African penguins are falling into ecological traps.C.A sustainable development is needed.D.African penguin populations have declined.第二节(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.15.(10分)How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean at times,loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life.You love them for the fact that they created you,raised you,and are in part,a source of who you are.Here are some ways to love your parents.(1)A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart.Remember that they brought you into thisworld.Without your parents,we might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world.Respect them more and cherish these moments.You can use these moments to learn from them,preparing yourself for when you're off on your own.It's OK to get angry but angry actions don't help you or your parents.Act calmly,cool off,write down your feelings,or talk to a friend.(2)Obey their requests.It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them.It may seem like you are going through hell when you don't get what you want or you have to clean.However,you had better remember they are who struggle to keep a roof over your head when it's cold,raining,snowing,or too hot.Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes.(3)Keep company with them.Do things with your parents together like watching TV,or go somewhere with them.Listen to their old stories and learn from them.(4)And then you will find they are your teachers in one way or another.Some people simply may not be able to love their parents.(5)Seek help if you are being abused(虐待)inany way.Parents do not have a right to harm you.A.And remember forgiveness is the key.B.Parents will in turn express their love to you.C.Tell them you love them every morning.D.After this,share your feelings with your parents.E.Please remember parents are as important as friends.F.Anyway,spend as much time with them as you can.G.There can be realistic reasons for this,family violence for example.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节)第一节:完形填空(每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.16.(30分)The life of George Washington was characterized by a high regard for punctuality.For him,being on

It’s more convenient.Text 6M: So, Messy, How was your holiday?W: Oh, we loved it. Tom liked Germany best but France was my favorite.M: So did Rachel finally go with you?W: No, she wasn’t able to. She was called away for a business trip to China. M: That’s a pity. So where exactly did you go and v isit?W: Well, we travelled all over, Italy, Spain and Holland. We even bathed in the Swiss lake.M: You did, really?Text 7M: Good evening, Mary, why didn’t you go to the party this afternoon? It was so fun.W: It’s because I was ill.M: No, but you loo ked just fine this morning. Tell me why you didn’t go.W: Well, I just didn’t have the time, OK?M: But you were sleeping the whole afternoon. Come on! Tell me exactly why you didn’t go there.W: OK, you want to know why? I’m telling you why. I wasn’t invi ted, that’s why!Text 8W: Hello, Mr. Wilson.

There is a great feeling of sadness among us today, as we realize that this is the last time for us to be together as members of this school.However, the thing we feel most, I think, is thankfulness. We have an idea of what you, our parents, have done for us, and we have an idea of all the effort that you, our teachers, have made for us. No words can express how thankful we are to you on this day. We will always remember this day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!Text 10Good evening, everyone. Do you know at what age a child becomes an adult? The answer depends on your culture or religion.First, in some North American Indian cultures, a boy becomes a man around the age of 13. At that time, he will go into the woods alone, without food or water, for several days. When he returns safely, he becomes an adult man.In Japan today, young people become legal adults at age 20. Each year on January 15, they wear traditional clothes, listen to speeches, and visit with old friends. Finally, in the United States, the passage into adulthood takes several years.American teenagers can get a driver’s license at the age of 16. The legal age of adulthood is 18. However, they must wait until age 21 to buy alcohol.OK, that’s all for my lecture.

I’ve been thinking about the qu estion you asked me. In my opinion, you should go abroad for further study. For one reason, you can experience another kind of culture, which can broaden your horizon. For another, I think the way of teaching in western countries is quite from that in China. The teachers there focus more on putting knowledge into practice. If you go abroad and study in the university there, you will be better at solving problems by yourself. What’s more, the oversea universities are better equipped and the curricula there are so well designed that there are varieties of courses for you to choose from. In a word, going abroad is a good choice, but you’d better ask your parents for advice. After all, it is they that offer you the money for further study.Best wishes.Yours,Li Hua。

Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic(显著的)increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However,three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004.They worried about credit card security,or just compared online prices with off-line prices,then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don’t buy online,websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,”said Dan Hess,vice president of Comscore Networks Inc.Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient,more reliable and more comfortable,” Hess said.60.Which of the following statements is true?A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004.B.Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.C.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.D.More women shopped online than men in 2004.61.From the passage we can infer that________.A.men usually decide how to spend money in the familyB.women usually decide what to buy in the familyC.the Internet is used in all the shops.D.more and more shops will sell their goods online.62.According to Dan Hess,shopping online___________.A.is unsafe B.is convenient C.is a waste of time D.is cheaper 63.What can we know from the passage?A.American people only buy gifts in holidays.B.Shopping online is fun for women.C.Shopping off-line provides better service.D.Young people like to do gift-shopping online.CA few days ago I asked my sons’ governess(女家庭教师)Julia to come into my study. “Be seated, Julia, ”I said, “Let’s settle our accounts. I guess you most likely need some money, but maybe you’re too polite to mention it. Now then, we agreed on thirty dollars a month...”“Forty.”“No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay our governess thirty. Well, um, you’ve been here two months, so...”“Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a special note of it. That means you have sixty dollars coming to you. Take off nine Sundays... you know you didn’t work with Tom on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays... ”Julia was biting her finger nail nervously, her face red, but--- not a word.“Three holidays, therefore take off twelve dollars. Four days Tom was sick andthere were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Dick. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven - nineteen. Take nineteen off ... that leaves. hmm.... forty one dollars. Correct?”Julia’s left eye reddened with tears welling up. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but --- still not a word.“Around New Year’s Day you broke a teac up and a saucer; take off two dollars. The cup cost more, it was a treasure of the family, but--- forget it. When didn’t I take a loss! Then, due to your neglect (疏忽), Tom climbed a tree and tore his jacket; take away ten. Also due to your carelessness the maid stole Dick’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more dollars off. The tenth of January I gave ten dollars.”“You didn’t. ”sobbed Julia.“But I made a note of it.”“Well... if you say so.”“Take twenty s even from forty one -that leaves fourteen.”Both her eyes were filled with tears. Beads of sweat stood on the thin pretty little nose. Poor girl!“Only once was I given any money,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “and that was by your wife. Three do llars, nothing more.”“Really? You see now, and I didn’t know that! Take three from fourteen.. leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three, three, three, one and one. Here it is !”I handed her eleven dollars. She took them and pocketed them.“Mer ci (法语: 谢谢),”she whispered.I jumped to my feet and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger. “For what, this ‘merci’?” I asked.“For the money. ”“But you know I’ve cheated you - robbed you ! I have actually stolen from you ! Why this‘merci’?”“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”“They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruellesson, just to teach you... I m going to give you all the eighty dollars! Here they are in the envelope all ready for you... Is it really possible to be so spineless (懦弱)?Why didn’t you protest? Why were you silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)---to be such a fool?”Embarrassed, she smiled. And I could read her expression,“It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and, to her great surprise, gave her the eighty dollars. She murmured her little“merci”several times and went out. I looked after her and thought,“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world !” 64.Wh at shocked the writer was Julia’s ________.A. nervousness in front of her bossB. acceptance of injusticeC. shyness when talking about moneyD. unwilling to express herself 65.The writer said, “Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws?”He was actually telling the governess ________.A. to be more aggressive(侵略的)B. to be more careful in her workC. to protect her rightD. to live independently66.At the end of the story, the writer said,“ How e asy it is to crush the weak in this world!” to show ________.A. his understanding of Julia’s anxietyB. his worry about Julia’s futureC. his concern on the living condition of working - class peopleD. his sympathy for the mental state of the weak67.From the story, we can tell that Julia’s employer was ________.A. greedy but honestB. ill - tempered but warm - heartedC. strict but forgivingD. none of the aboveDYou are about to say something to your younger brother when he gestures that he’s got a phone message.“But I didn’t hear the ring,”you say.“Because you are too old,”your brother answers.Don’t get mad. He’s just telling you the truth.Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation,especially parents and teachers. It’s a ring tone that many adults cannot hear. According to a recent report from the New York Times,in some Manhattan schools,students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched (频率) ring tone,students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers.The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet.However,the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers,not the other way around.Called the Mosquito,it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company. It is an ear-splitting 17-kilohertz buzzer (蜂鸣器) designed to help shopkeepers get rid of young people hanging around in front of their stores. Humans can hear sounds taking place in a frequency range between 200 and 20,000 hertz,as the research shows. But our hearing gradually becomes worse when we grow up.68.Students in some Manhattan schools have begun using the technology,so they can_________.A.talk in class without being heard by their teachersB.use cellphones to send messages in classC.hear better in class than their teachersD.improve their hearing ability69.The underlined phrase “the other way around” implies the ________.A.adults are annoyed nowB.teenagers are annoyed nowC.adults are not annoyed nowD.both adults and teenagers are annoyed now70.According to this passage,what will happen to a person when he is over twenty? A.He can hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.B.He can hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.C.He cannot hear sounds with frequencies between 200 and 20,000 hertz.D.He cannot hear sounds with a frequency of 17-kilohertz.71.It can be concluded from the passage that _________.A.older people hear no better than teenagersB.older people had better not use cellphonesC.teenagers hear better than old peopleD.teenagers had better not use cellphonesEIn 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple cameras. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another French, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.Soon, othe r people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, the process was improved. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. The process was not simple. The photographers had to carry lots of films and processing equipment. But this did not stop the photographers, especially in the United States. After 1840s daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities.Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. The pictures were unusual because they were very life - like and full of personality.Brady was also the first person to take pictures of war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography---Photographers couldbuy films ready-made in rolls(卷). So they did not have to make the film themselves. Also, they did not have to process the film immediately. They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later meaning that they did not have to carry lots of equipment. And finally, the invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive.With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. People began to use cameras just for fun. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures“ snapshot”.Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.72.The passage is mainly about ________.A. the invention of camerasB. a kind of new art - photographyC. the development of photographyD. the important dates in the history of photography73.The first pictures of a war were taken by________.A. a French photographer in the 1840sB. an American photographer in the 1860sC. a German reporter in the 1880sD. a French artist in the 1890s74.Photography can also be an art form because artists can ________.A. take anything they likeB. keep a record of real lifeC. take photos of the famousD. show ideas and feeling in pictures 75.According to the passage, which of the followings shows the correct order?a.Photographs became popular in newspapers.b.Photographers carried processing equipment while taking pictures.c.The invention of small handheld cameras made photography easier.d.Daguerre invented a kind of photograph called daguerreotype.e.Brady took pictures of famous people.A. e, a, d, b, cB. d, b, e, c, aC. b, e, c, a, dD. d, c, e, a, b第二卷(共35分)第一节:短文改错(共10小题,满分10分)Once upon a time ,there was a poor man .He had anorange tree on his garden .

On the simplest level, dreams can make us aware of things we have missed during the day because we were too busy to notice them. For instance, if you dream of missing an important appointment, your dream may be trying to remind you of something coming up that you have forgotten to write down.On a deeper level, dreams can show us how we really feel about our relationships. For instance, a young woman who considered herself fairly happily married dreamed of angrily hitting her husband over the head with a book. The dream was urging the woman to get in touch with her feelings of dislike to her husband for her husband had insisted that she stay home instead of taking an interesting job.

Do you know at what age a child becomes an adult? The answer depends on your culture or religion.First, in some North American Indian cultures, a boy becomes a man around the age of 13. At that time, he will go into the woods alone, without food or water, for several days. When he returns safely, he becomes an adult man.In Japan today, young people become legal adults at age 20. Each year on January 15, they wear traditional clothes, listen to speeches, and visit with old friends. Finally, in the United States, the passage into adulthood takes several years.American teenagers can get a driver’s license at the age of 16. The legal age of adulthood is 18. However, they must wait until age 21 to buy alcohol.OK, that’s all for my lecture.

I’ve been thinking about the qu estion you asked me. In my opinion, you should go abroad for further study. For one reason, you can experience another kind of culture, which can broaden your horizon. For another, I think the way of teaching in western countries is quite from that in China. The teachers there focus more on putting knowledge into practice. If you go abroad and study in the university there, you will be better at solving problems by yourself. What’s more, the oversea universities are better equipped and the curricula there are so well designed that there are varieties of courses for you to choose from. In a word, going abroad is a good choice, but you’d better ask your parents for advice. After all, it is they that offer you the money for further study.Best wishes.Yours,Li Hua。
