Dear editor:

Last week, we made a survey among all the students on their expenses this term. From the questionnaire we have received, we can find the following facts. Generally speaking, students who come from the city have spent much more money than those from the countryside on average. For example, compared with those from the countryside, students from the city have spent twice as much as money on snacks.

The figures also show that students either from the city or the countryside have paid most of their money for snacks, clothes and entertainments, and books and stationery have cost only a small sum of money.

In my opinion, students from the city should learn to save. And books rather than snacks or entertainments should be their main concern.

范文二：

假定你是新城中学的一名学生，前不久你班对新城10年前城市居民生活的某些情况与现在（2012年）进行了一次对比调查。请根据下表把这次的调查结果用英语写一份报告，并作简要说明。词数不少于120左右。参考词汇：消费观念idea of consumption；调查survey

One possible version:

We present here the results of our survey about the changes in people’s lives in Xingcheng.

In 2012, people have more living space than in 2002 (30m2and 10.2m2 respectively). More people choose modern means of transportation, with more cars (12% and 1%) and motorbikes (46% and 17%) .At the same time, the number of mobile phone users has increased sharply (98% and 25%) .On the other hand, more families own computers now than they did ten years ago (90% and 5%). Besides all this, 75% of people now spend money on traveling, a sharp comparison to 10% in 2002.

The reason for these changes seem simple enough: we are better off.. People now would spend their money not only on food and clothes but also houses, cars and traveling and so on, which as some people say, is the modern ideas of consumption.

参考答案：

练习一. One possible version:

As is apparently shown in the chart above, many middle school students have problems both physically and mentally, with 70% of the students having learning anxieties as well as bad eyesight, and a larger percentage lacking sleep. Coming next is the lack of physical exercise. 40% of the students surveyed won’t obey their parents or teachers. Still fewer claimed not to have enough communication with others.

As far as I am concerned, we students should balance our physical exercise and studies. Just like a saying goes, “All work but no play makes Jack a dull boy,” without a sound body , one cannot achieve anything; however, too much attention has been paid only to studies. Therefore, I suggest we be given less homework and more time for out-of classroom activities to solve all the problems. Only in this way can we lead a healthy life.

练习二. Reading Interests of Senior Middle School Students

Recently, a survey has been done to find out the reading interests of senior middle school students. In this survey, one thousand senior middle school students from ten schools in Hubei Province were interviewed. They were asked which they liked reading most among the four categories of English articles, news, stories, popular science articles and articles about learning methods.

The survey shows that more than half of the students like to read news most. Twenty- six percent of the students say that English stories are their favorite. Only seven percent of the students are most interested in reading articles about learning methods. However, the number of students who enjoy reading popular science articles doubles that of those who prefer reading articles about learning methods

练习三.Pocket Money Sources for High School Students

The pocket money sources for the American and Chinese high students come almost the same way: money from their parents, income from part-time jobs and scholarships they can get, but the percentage of each is quite different. Half of the American students’ pocket money is from their parents, 35% from part-time jobs and 15% from scholarships, while the Chinese students get 90% of their pocket money from their parents and only 10% from part-time jobs and scholarships.

It seems that there are two reasons for this difference. One is that the American students have more opportunities to do part-time jobs or get scholarships than the Chinese students. The other is that the American students depends less on their parents than the Chinese students.

As far as I am concerned, our pocket money sources should come from what I do part-time jobs or scholarships, we shouldn’t add up our parents’ financial burden, they are really too hardworking.

练习四. Recently we make a survey of the people on physical training. The result is beyond all expectation. Only 35 percent of the people surveyed have take part in physical activities. Several reasons account for the absence of the majority. Over half of the people

who haven’t done sports regularly say they haven’t got enough training facilities. 12 percent of the people feel that they live too far away from the training centers. Some of them even don’t know how to train.

In order to improve health, people should realize the importance of physical training. A scientific and rational notion on health should be advocated. What’s more, various training facilities for sports shall be established and improved on an ongoing basis.

练习五. Chart 1 shows the daily average amount of time the students of the school spend on different after-class activities. The students put the most time ---- 93 minutes---- into their homework, and next in line is watching TV, which takes up 46 minutes. They put in about the same amount of time listening to music and working on the computer, 34 minutes and 30 minutes each. While 25 minutes is spent on sports, only 12 minutes goes into housework..

As is shown on Chart 2, only 10% of the time is taken up with sports activities. I think the school should encourage the students to do more exercise after class. This way, they may be healthier and more energetic.
