Around 132 years later in January, the bottle was found on the Australian coast, making it the oldest-known message in a bottle in the world.The bottle was thrown into the water to know, about ocean waves(海浪). Between 1864 and 1933, German sailors threw thousands of bottles into the sea. About 663 of those messages were found later.But throwing messages in bottles into the ocean is not just for scientists. People send out such messages for many reasons. Some people write information about themselves in the hopes of finding a pen pal. Others write down secrets, hoping that the waves will wash them away. And still other people just write down some jokes, songs or anything else they think might be fun. There are even online messages in bottles. People can send the messages through WeChat or QQ.The reasons mad ways might be different, but the goal is always the same: to reach out and try to connect with someone. This kind of shared feeling might be why this tradition has remained popular for so long. In 1988, the British band The Police wrote a song called Message in A Bottle that describes this feeling.As the songs lyrics say, we are a hundred billion castaways(被抛弃者) looking for a home. When will you feel relieved (释然的)? A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore. Seems Im not alone at being alone.（1）In 1886, the German captain used the bottle with a message_.

Studies have shown that families in wealthy countries have fewer children. The worlds population is unlikely to grow so much because countries around the world are becoming richer.Secondly, it is said that we could have too little food in the future, I do not think so. With new farming technology, we might be able to grow other kinds crops. We already have new kinds of rice and cereals (谷物) that can grow more quickly and feed more people. At the same time, some scientists say that we have more than enough food in the world it is just not shared evenly(平均地). I think that this may be true and, if it is, hunger is a problem that can be solved.Finally, I do not think it is helpful to claim that there will be “no end to hunger”. We might not be able to solve the problem of the world hunger quickly, but there are many things that we can do. Cutting down on food waste and raising money to feed the hungry is easy enough to do.Generally speaking, I strongly believe there can be an end to world hunger. However, we must be ready to take actions now.Yours faithfully,Luks Ng（1）What is the right order of the letter? A . date senders name reason for writing arguments(辩论) conclusion(结论)closing greetingB . date greeting reason for writing arguments conclusion closing senders nameC . date greeting arguments reason for writing conclusion closing senders nameD . senders name greeting conclusion reason for writing arguments closing date（2）Why does the writer write the letter? A . Because he is against world hunger.B . Because he thinks food will be enough.C . Because he wants to argue with the editor.D . Because he wants to express his views.（3）What does the underlined word “unlikely” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese? A . 喜欢的B . 不喜欢的C . 可能的D . 不可能的（4）What can we learn about the article No End to World Hunger? A . It is in the Times.B . It is written by Luks Ng.C . Its writer thinks there will be little food in the future.D . Its writer thinks the worlds population will become small.（5）Which of the following is NOT the writers views? A .

It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy (泥泞的). They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, Here Mom! Here is a heart for youjust because I love you! Keep it!”with tears in my eyes, I thanked her.Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what theyd like to.I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children. Im sure I will learn a lot from the children.

It was lovely.I told you in my last letter that we were going to Disneyland, Paris. Well, weve been! I loved it. Its not so large as Walt Disney World in Florida, but it is pretty large all the same. In fact, its one fifth the size of Paris.It was so crowded! We had to wait a long time to go on the rides sometimes, but the weather was very fine, thought not so sunny as in Florida.There are great things to see. Sleeping Beautys Castle is wonderful. My young sister Annette liked that best. Then theres Frontier Landyou feel you are in the middle of an old Western film. My elder brother Tom liked that. I loved the Pirates of the Caribbean area. You visit it in a boat. You really think you are living in those exciting timesbut without the danger, of course.There are some great rides, too. I think the best is the Peter Pan ride
