Module 4 A Social Survey-My Neighbourhood Period 3 Grammar. 阅读理解Our town is in the eastern part of our country. Once a year, we elect a girl to show how beautiful and great our town is. All the girls are eager to get this position in an effort to become popular. It was not an easy choice, since there were eight girls to choose from. The elder judge finally decided that either Sara or May would get the position. Both girls were beautiful with extraordinary appearance. Besides, they had a good education and cared about how pollution had a bad effect on the earth. Most importantly, both girls got up early to eat eggs at their breakfast. Eggs were important to people of the east of our town because the economy here depended mainly on the production of eggs. “Either girl will win, ”my father said, “but someone will cry in the end. ”“Either will be fine, ”I said, “they are both great girls. ”The final round was held at the east edge of our town. Sara lived nearby so she did not need to get up early to arrive. However, she was the first person there. “You know what they say about the early bird. ”she said with a smile. However, May arrived fifteen minutes late to the competition. “Its the taxi drivers fault, ”she said, “I told him to head east, but he was in one ear and thought I said Bread Cheese. You know, Bread Cheese is the name of our neighboring town. ”I thought May would certainly lose because she was late, but to my surprise, she turned out to be the winner. The judges liked her answer to their last question, “If you could have anything in the world, what would it be? ”Sara replied, “World peace. ”May, on the other hand, said, “Better market to have our eggs sell well. ”【语篇概述】本文介绍了作者所在的城镇选女代言人的经过。1.
