短文改错
Dear Mr. Smith，

I've read your advertisement for the assistant teacher for a children's winter camp. I am quite interesting in this position. Most importantly, I love working with children! As the monitor in your class, in the past two years I proved myself to be an excellent helper to my teachers. I speak fluent English, what enables me to help native English teachers communicate freely and effective with students in an English-only environment.

I will soon have a three-week winter vacations, so I have no problem working evenings and weekends. I would be pleased to assist for both the teachers and students in this challenging or rewarding environment.

Looking forward to receive your early reply.

Yours,

Li Hua

   Following Mo Yan's Nobel Prize , the usually silent Chinese literary circle got warmed up again. A Shanghai writer named Jin Yucheng surprised nearly everyone by making his novel full of Shanghai dialect.

Published in 2012, the 350,000-word Blossoms （Fan Hua） is a novel about the changes in Shanghai over 30 years, drawing clear images of the city through the stories of many common people. There is no main story like most novels, but every story in it could run independently. While putonghua is the standard choice for Chinese literature today, Jin's use of the Shanghai dialect appears both different and bold.

"I have seen too many novels that look similar to each other. Chinese literature is getting monotonous in both language and form. I want to be special with my own language, " Jin told the Global Times.

In the novel, Jin makes a breakthrough by mainly using dialogues to unfold various plots and represent typical characters on a daily basis. He also abandons the use of some punctuation like quotation marks （引号）, showing a return to the traditional Chinese huaben genre.

Since its publication, the book has been widely recommended on Sina Weibo with many netizens rating the novel high for its unique use of dialect and vivid description of life using plain speech.

Jin said that he got the idea of writing the novel while chatting in an online forum where people use the Shanghai dialect. The praise he received from the netizens encouraged him to continue writing the random stories.

"I'd like to see more writers to follow my lead. It will enrich our literature and make it diverse," he said.

   For those of you who haven't heard of it, the Apple Watch is designed by Apple Inc. Its sales began in April, 2015. As the name suggests, it is designed to tell us the time.
However, an Apple Watch is never just a watch. In fact, this watch is multifunctional. It not only shows us the time, but also acts as a fitness monitor（监测仪）and a messaging tool that can be connected with an iPhone.
Do you think it's a great invention? Don't you think the technology has gone too far?
Though the Apple Watch is cool in appearance, is it a good thing to be able to receive messages through a watch, or is this another way of letting technology destroy our social life?
Just imagine:A group of friends sitting at a table in a restaurant will ignore each other as everyone will be too busy reading a new message on their watches. Students will carefully check their messages in school, despite the fact that mobile phones aren't allowed in class...Although smartwatches may make communication through technology easier, it seems that it could actually influence face-to-face communication.
I do have to agree, however, the watch has some interesting and helpful functions. For example, it can be used to create and record sporting activities. This could be of special interest to sports fans. While there are clearly both good and bad things when it comes to this invention,I personally like my single-purpose watch that simply tells me the time! What about you? Would you be interested in having a smartwatch?
【小题1】Which is NOT mentioned about the Apple Watch according to the first paragraph?

A．The price.

B．The creator.

C．The functions.

D．The time when its sales began.

【小题2】What does the writer want to tell us by using the examples in the fourth paragraph?

A．People like the Apple Watch very much.

B．Smartwatches have an effect on face-to-face communication.

C．People are too busy with their work.

D．Students can behave better with the Apple Watch.

【小题3】What is the writer's opinion of the Apple Watch?

A．All the people should have an Apple Watch.

B．The Apple Watch can save people's money and time.

C．He would rather not have an Apple Watch.

D．The Apple Watch has more advantages.
