Big Funeral Is Too Late
Dear editor:
Grandma Li was my neighbor, who died last month. The old lady had three sons. All of them had grown up and got married, but none of them wanted to take care of her. They let her live in a small dark room. They gave her little food. When she got ill, they refused to take her to hospital.
But to my surprise, the old lady’s sons spent a lot of money on her funeral. The funeral lasted several days, and scores of cars and trucks were used on the day when the old lady was buried.
What is the use of such a big funeral for the old lady? It is too late for her. We should take care of old parent s while they are alive instead of spending so much money on them when they are dead.

【文章四：留言条】
假设你叫王红，于5月7日星期五在学校门口看到两则海报后，决定邀你的好友Harry一起参加其中的一项活动。你赶到Harry住处时，发现他不在。请根据海报内容给Harry 写一张留言条，要他选择其中的一项活动并尽快通知你。
Dear Harry,
It’s a pity that you are not in, so have to leave you a note. There are two posters at the school gate. One is about the movie “ Gone with the Wind”, which is to be shown at 7 Saturday evening in the school hall. The other is about a lecture on women’s liberation, which is to be given by Prof. Betty Power, writer of the book “ The Other Half of the Sky”, at 7 on Saturday evening in Room 101. I’d like to invite you to either the movie or the lecture, but I wonder which you would prefer. Please let me know your decision as soon as possible.
