11．Downing Street will receive a special delivery from postmasters this afternoon，the country's biggest ever petition （请愿书） in modern times.Four million people have backed a campaign，urging the government to save Britain's post offices.More than four thousand post officers have closed since 1999 for financial reasons；the rest are losing up to a quarter of a billion pounds a year.
The Saint Levan Valley Post Office near Plymouth faces closure.It is one of thousands that are not commercially practical and cost taxpayers over a hundred and fifty million pounds a year in subsidies （补贴）.And yet the customers here don't care if the post office makes money，they say it's a social lifeline for the community.
"We've bad people moved to tears here at the very thought of losing their post office.It's such a vital part of the community." That's why hundreds of postmasters have arrived in London this morning to remonstrate（抗议） with what they call a death by a thousand cuts.The government has removed so many services from branches that many would be forced to close.
This afternoon they'll hand in a petition signed by four million people which they hope would preempt（先发制人） any government announcement on cuts.
And at the top of the list of complaint8：the planned withdrawal of the Post Office card account，used by millions to access pensions（退休金） and benefits.There are many，many people who still want，and who budget on being able to get their money from their pension and other benefits each week in cash at post office，and that is the bottom line.
This industry wants reform and modernization，but not the i-planned destruction of the network. "They have to be practical.What we want to do is make sure that they can be practical.So in the same way as a pub used to be tied to one brewery，we want to free up post offices to have lots of products，so they can have a much better income flow，and therefore，stay open."

D．The post offices are of no use because of the Internet.
（2）What is probably the key service of the post offices tor common people？
A．To post letters.
B．To withdraw pensions.

D．To protest against ill planned cuts.
（3）Why is "a pub" mentioned in the last paragraph？

33．On the first day of school，I stared in awe at the huge buildings.This high school was definitely bigger than the one I had previously attended.
This was my second year of high school，but my first year of school in St.Louis.I had decided the night before that I would be much happier in a new school if I made friends that were so-called "popular".Getting in with the right group of people would make my life a whole lot better.I even bought a new outfit and had my hair styled just so the first day would be perfect.
Scared，yet anxious to begin my new life，I walked up the stairs to the front door.The halls were packed with kids yelling and laughing and telling stories of their summer adventures.My first class was geometry，but where was that？
I was standing in the hall looking confused，when a short，blond girl wearing glasses came up and asked."Are you new？You look lost.Do you need help？My name is Diane.What's yours？" Even though she seemed a bit strange，definitely not the kind of person I wanted to be associated with，I decided to answer her anyway.I was，after all，lost.
After exchanging names，I followed her up the stairs and down a hallway on the right，making polite conversation the whole way.When we reached my room she said， "Well，here you are.Welcome to JFK，and I hope your day goes all right."
I said thanks and waved good-bye.Once inside the classroom，I saw one big group of people huddled around someone who seemed to be telling some sort of story.I walked over and got close enough to overhear.All eyes were glued to the guy in the middle of the circle who was wearing a letter jacket covered with patches.I decided that this guy was popular，so I managed to get a seat right next to him.I said."Hi，my name is Lisa and I'm new here." He said，"Johnny."
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右：
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置答题。
At the end of the class，I turned to him and asked， "I'm not sure where my next class is，could you help me？"
________
Just at that time，someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder.
