Over 80 per cent of the 15,000 to 20,000 landmine victims each year are civilians, and at least one in five 28. are children, according to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL). The deadly legacy of landmines far outlasts the conflicts that that gave rise to them. Among the most contaminated countries are Iraq, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Colombia, and Angola.29.A sample: XXX China 28 MarchDear Mr. President, I read in the newspaper that the US hasnt yet committed to the Mine 30. Ban Treaty. Im writing to suggest your country sign on the agreement. 1. Landmines kill or badly injure around 26,000 people every year. There are about 100 million landmines buried just beneath the surface of the ground in 60 31. countries. Among the most contaminated countries are Iraq, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Colombia, and Angola.think this is one reason why people in these countries hate the US so much. 2. Producing one landmine costs 32. $3, yet once in the ground it can cost more than $1,000 to find and destroy, according to the ICBL. So stop manufacturing landmines and spend more money on finding solutions to clearing the landmines. As you know, your33. country has designed the most advanced robots. Why not use your advanced technology and spend more money on designing some robots to clear the landmines. If so, it will benefit the whole world. People all over the world will think highly of you and your country. 34. You and your country will become more influential. Japan has set a good example. They have developed robots that can be used to clear landmines. I hope your government will follow Japans example. Thank you for reading the letter. I hope you will consider my35. suggestions. I believe you also hope the whole world will enjoy peace. Lets work together and make a peaceful world. Yours sincerely, XXX 36.Listening taskListening taskPage 59Page 59What kinds of animal do you think they are?What kinds of animal do you think they are?Would you like to own one? Which on?

Remember that you are writing from the robot pets point of view.42.A sample Wednesday Sunny I am very happy today, because this is the first day that I spent with my owner, Susan. Susan is a 6-year-old sick girl. She cannot go out with other children because of her poor health. So her parents bought me as43. her companion. There are different types of robot pets in the store. Her mom preferred the seal-type robot, while her dad thought the lovely dog would be a good companion. But Susan loves kitty very much. She insisted on having me as her companion. So they chose me. 44. The shop assistant told them I have more than just entertainment value, offering companionship and a variety of other services to the sick. A network system will enable me to speak to the children in natural way, especially to children who are sick, 45. and this will make them more comfortable. I can be connected via cell phone or ISDN line to a network system center, allowing health workers or parents to send medical information and encouraging messages to the sick. Im endowed with 100 phrases, 46.ranging from the light-hearted (“Today isthe karaoke party. Lets sing a lot.”) to more practical information (“It is three oclock. It is time to have medicine.”). Susan smiled a lot and her parents Said she has never spent a happier day. I am happy too because Ive brought pleasure to her. 47.
