Passage Three
A man was lost while driving through the country. As he tried to read a map, he accidentally drove off the road into a ditch(沟). Though he wasn’t injured, his car was stuck deep in the mud. So the man walked to a nearby farm to ask for help.
“Warwick can get you out of the ditch,” said the farmer, pointing to an old mule(骡) standing in a field. The man looked at the tired mule and looked at the farmer who just stood there repeating, “Yep, my old Warwick can do the job.” The man figured he had nothing to lose. The two men and Warwick made their way back to the ditch.
The farmer tied the car to the mule. With a snap of the reins he shouted, “Pull, Fred! Pull, Jack! Pull, Ted! Pull, Warwick!” And the mule pulled the car from the ditch with very little effort.
The man was amazed. He thanked the farmer, patted(拍) the mule and asked, “Why did you call out all of those other names before you called Warwick?”

Passage Five
In southern Russia there is a group of very long-lived people who are being studied by doctors. These people live high on the top of a mountain range called the Caucasus. Thousands of the Caucasians are over 100 years old. Doctors are studying their life-style to try and find the secret of long life.
The Caucasians are very active. They work into their 90s, watching sheep and raising crops. Their food consists of milk, cheese, vegetables, bread and fruit. They drink wine and vodka well into old age. Many of them smoke. Because they live high in the mountains, they have slightly larger hearts and lungs, which help them get more oxygen out of thin air.
Several other factors may affect their life. Most of the people are married and have large families. Also, fresh air may play a part. The oldest people often have one or two parents who have lived to a ripe old age. Lastly, in the Caucasian culture, old age is honored. So, it is pleasant to be old.

A Letter of Apology
Dear Wang Hai,
I’m terribly sorry that I couldn’t come and play table tennis with you at the school gym yesterday morning. I happened to have left my mobile phone at home. A classmate of mine was ill, and he had a high fever. I must send him to see a doctor at once.
I hope you will accept my sincere apology. If you don’t mind, I would like to make another appointment with you to see a film this Sunday afternoon.
I’m looking forward to meeting you soon.
Yours,
Xu Hui
