H. Read the following paragraph .

It was the last night of the year. It was snowing heavily and the ominous 6 sky had grown dark. A poor little girl was walking bare-foot through the streets trying to find people to buy her matches. She had had slippers 7 on when she left home. But they were too big. She had lost them when she crossed the wide and deep street. So then she continued walking along without her slippers.

The sad girl looked as thin as the matches that she was selling. She had already been walking in the wind and snow for a whole day. No one had bought anything from her; no one had given her even a copper 8 penny. She was shivering with cold, yet she did not dare to go home. If she did not bring money home, her father would beat her. Besides, her home was as cold as the street.

As her legs could no longer carry her, she sat down at the corner of the street. How fine it would be if she had a little fire before her! She drew a match from the box and struck it against the wall. Oh, how it burned! The girl struck one match after another. It really seemed as if she was sitting by a great beautiful stove. When the little fire was burning, in her imagination she saw a lot of fine things: a Christmas tree, a goose, and so on. It also seemed to her that her long dead grandmother was standing 9 by her. She was the only person who had been good to her.

The next day the New Year’s sun was shinning upon the little body that was lying there with the pile of burned matches. The poor girl had gently frozen 10 to death on the last day of the Old Year.

E. Appreciate the English song.

Don’t Give up (Willie Nelson and Sinead O’Connor)

In this proud land we grew up strong

We were wanted all along.

I was taught to fight, taught to win

I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems

I am a man whose dreams have all deserted 11

I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name

But no one wants you when you lose

Don’t give up

‘cause you have friends

Don’t give up

You’re not beaten up

I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around

Never thought that I could be affected 12

Thought that we’d be the last to go

It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home

The place that I was born, on the lakeside

As daylight broke, I saw the earth

The trees had burned down to the ground

Don’t give up

You still have us

Don’t give up

We don’t need much of anything

Don’t give up

‘Cause somewhere there’s a place

Where we belong

Rest your head

You worry too much

It’s going to be alright

When times get rough

You can fall back on us

Don’t give up

Please don’t give up

‘Got to walk out of there

I can’t take any more

Going to stand on that bridge

Keep my eyes down below

Whatever may come

And whatever may go

That river’s flowing

That river’s flowing

Moved on to another town

Tried hard to settle down

For every job, so many men

So many men on one needs

Don’t give up

‘Cause you have friends

Don’t give up

You’re not the only one

Don’t give up

No reason to be ashamed

Don’t give up

You still have us

Don’t give up

We’re proud of who you are

Don’t give up

You know it’s never been easy

Don’t give up

‘Cause I believe there’s a place

There’s a place where we belong

F. This is the lecture made on the funeral of Diana, princess of Wales. Read it carefully. There may be some unfamiliar 13 words as “profiteth”, which equals to “ profited”. Never mind, you just read it quickly

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass 14, or a tinkling 15 cymbal 16. And though I have the gift of prophecy 17 and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow 18 all my goods to feed the poor. and though I give my body to be burned. And have not love, it profiteth me nothing. Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed 19 up, doth not behave itself unseemly. seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked 20, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity 21, but rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies 22, they shall fail; whether there be tongues. They shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part. And we prophesy 23 in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke 24 as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child. But when I became a man, I put away childish 25 things. For now we see through a glass darkly but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
