Dear Ms. Wendel: January 2nd, 20__
I understand that you are in charge of the fundraising events for the Heart and Stroke Research Fund of Central Canada. My colleague, Jessica, suggested that I contact you about getting some brochures for our office. We need information on the half marathon that is taking place in Toronto on the weekend of July lst-3rd.
When I looked at the Heart and Stroke website, I noticed that your name was among the female runners who finished in the top ten last year. Jessica was surprised to hear that in addition to managing the fundraiser, you also participated in the race. You must be in excellent shape! Are you running this year?
I would appreciate your sending some brochures for the center. I'd like to know more about the race myself. I've been thinking about entering, but I'm not sure if I am ready to run a half marathon. I think I should start with a ten-kilometer run. Currently I run about 20 kilometers each week.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Best Wishes,
Kandy miller

Hi Kandy,
Thank you for your letter. It was fun participating In the race last year. At first when my co-workers decided to do the run I wasn't interested. However, within a few weeks of their training I noticed how much more energy they had. That's when I decided to join them. It was a good experience, but unfortunately I will not be running In this year's event. I pulled a muscle in my leg when I was golfing this summer. You should give this run a try, though. It took me about 6 months to train for the half marathon, it will probably take you half of that since you have some running experience already.
I sent some brochures to the Health Center today. Thank you for your support of our cause. Last year we raised $400,000 in Toronto, and this year our goal is to double that amount.
Thanks again,
Vanessa

听力原文:W: Hello, Larry, dear, where are you now?
M: I'm on my way home. And that's why I'm telephoning.
W: What's the matter? You haven't had an accident, have you?
M: No, it's much sillier than that. I've run out of petrol!
W: Oh, Larry! What a silly thing to do!
M: It isn't my van, of course, and I didn't know the petrol gauge was broken. It says haft-full, but there isn't any petrol in the van at all. And I'm at the telephone box fourteen miles from Brenton. I'm miles from anywhere.
W: Can you buy some petrol?
M: There aren't any buses. I can walk, I suppose. W: How far is it?
M: About six miles.
W: If you walk to Church town, and then back to the van, that will be twelve miles. You can't walk six miles with a full can of petrol.
M: I haven't got a can, anyway. And I haven't got any money.
W: That's a problem. Let me think! I've got an idea. Ask your dad to drive your car to you. He can buy some petrol, and you can put it in the van. You can drive the van home, and he can drive the car.
M: It's a good idea. Thanks.

"Why do we want a row of trees as well as a wall?" Terry asked his father.
His father said, "For privacy. These trees grow very thickly."
His father's love of privacy often puzzled Terry, who was not one to keep himself to himself, but he could see part of the point here. The houses in Jenkins Street were on higher ground. His friend Leslie lived in number twelve, and Leslie had only to stand on a box to see right over the wall.
"Will the trees grow higher than the wall?" Terry asked then.
"Oh. Yes, twice as high if not more. It'll take a few years but they'll grow.
So they were going to have nine trees thirty feet tall, to keep them from being over-looked. Terry wondered why this was so desirable. He said, "Our garden is very pretty. Why can't we let the people over the wall see it? That wouldn't be showing off, would it?"
"No, I don't think it would be," his father said, "Yet some people might feel a bit less happy if they can always see a good thing that isn't theirs. We don't want to be the cause of any jealousy if we can help it."
This consideration for other people's feelings must be a grownup thing, Terry thought. It was no his idea of how to run things. He said, "These trees—it seems a lot of trouble to go just to stop people being jealous of us."
His father looked at him. "It isn't much trouble. Terry. "He said, "These trees will grow without help from us. They'll be beautiful. And listen to them. You can already hear them whispering to us in the wind."
The passage mainly deals with the topic of ______.
A.protection of environment
B.relationship between neighbors
C.generation gap
