Most Americans don' t like to get advice from members of their family. When they need advice,

they don' t usually ask people they know. Instead many Americans write letters to newspapers and

magazines which give advice on many different subjects, including family problems, sex, the use

of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, and how to buy a house or a car.

Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters

there are answers written by people who are supposed to know how to solve such problems. Some

of these writers are doctors; others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of

advice are women without special training for these kinds of work. One of them answers letters

addressed to "Dear Abby". The other is addressed as "Dear Ann Landers'. Experience is their

preparation for giving advice.

There is one writer who hasn' t lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl

named Angel Cavaliere, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her

advice to young readers now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin in a column called

DEAR ANGEL.

John F. Kennedy was the youngest American to be elected president of the United States.

During the World War Ⅱ John F. Kennedy had an outstanding record in the Navy. After the war

Kennedy worked briefly as a newspaperman, then entered polities. He was three times elected to

the House of Representatives before becoming a senator from Massachusetts. In 1960 he was

elected president in a very close race in which there were charges of irregularities.

Kennedy' s term of office was marked by the achievements in appeals to idealism, a broad

participation of people in politics, and improved civil rights. In international affairs, Kennedy saw

the failure of the American - backed invasion of Cuban missile crisis which brought Russia and

the United States to the brink of war.

The Kennedy family has experienced victories and tragedy. One of John Kennedy' s sisters

was mentally backward and an old brother was killed in the war. John Kennedy was assassinated

-- as was his brother, Robert Kennedy. The family has suffered scandals of sex, alcohol, and drugs

in both John' s generation and in this present generation. Many believe that for the young, wealth

and a prominent family too much, too soon, too easy are more of a curse than a help.

A. when Kennedy was the president, he made some outstanding achievements

B. Kennedy failed his duty as the president of the United States

C. with Kennedy as the president, fewer people concerned themselves with state affairs

A. He was the youngest American elected president.

B. He was the richest American elected president.

Task 3

Directions: The following is taken from the INTRODUCTION of a book dealing with paragraph

writing. After reading it, you are required to fill the blanks below it (No. 46 through No. 50). You

should write your answers briefly in no more than 3 words on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.

An Introduction To Writing Paragraphs

Definition of A Paragraph

A paragraph is a group of sentences which presents and develops one idea or one aspect of an

idea.

Placement and Length of A Paragraph

The basic rules to follow for the length of the paragraphs you write is: make the paragraph

long enough to develop its central idea clearly **pletely. Don' t make a paragraph so short that its

content is not well explained; don' t make a paragraph so long that it contains ideas that do not

relate to the central idea or becomes repetitions and boring.

Kinds of Paragraphs

Paragraphs can be classified in two ways: by what they do and by the kind they are. When we

think of them in terms of what they do, we find that paragraphs can have four different functions:

they can be used as introductions, as support for or development of a topic, as transitions, or as

conclusions. When we think of paragraphs in terms of the kind they are, we find that there are four

basic types of paragraphs that include all prose writing: exposition, argumentation, description,

and narration.

Paragraphs and Longer Forms of Writing

Just as groups of related words make up sentences and groups of related sentences make up

paragraphs, groups of related paragraphs make up longer pieces of writing, such as essays, reports,

research papers, business and social letters, technical manuals, articles, stories, and chapters in

books.

Subheadings Contents

written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.

I love traveling by train. Fast expresses, slow local trains which stop at every station, suburban

trains taking business men to their offices and home again; I enjoy them all. It must be the element

of romance that attracts me. There' s no romance in a car on a motor way - a box of metal and

rubber(橡胶) on a strip of concrete - or in flying through the air in a pressurized tube from one

identical plastic and glass airport to another. But trains are different. You can walk around, look at

the scenery, observe your fellow passengers. In a plane all you can see are the clouds and the

backs of other people' s heads. And then there are the stations.

Yes, traveling by train is still an adventure, even in England, as you try to interpret the

timetable, persuade the booking office clerk to sell you a ticket and understand the

incomprehensible **ing over the loudspeaker system. Then there' s that delightful uncertainty as

you wonder whether you are on the right train, or the right part of the train.

They are fast expresses, local trains and ______.
