Somewhere on the South CoastEnglandDear Mum and Dad,It was a great idea to send me over to Britain to learn English this summer! I’ve met so many students from Sweden, France and all over the world. And there are lots of students from Germany here too. It’s just like being at home. What a relief to find normal people, even in England, and to speak in a normal language most of the time.Of course, we do have English lessons in the day, and I have to talk to the family I stay with here. Do you know, some of my friends have said they won’t go out with us in the evening any more—they want to speak English and find English friends. I think they’re mad. The family I live with are very nice. But they have some strange habits. They drink tea all day: at breakfast, in the afternoon and at bedtime. And they eat butter with salt in it! If I go out in the evening, I often eat fish and chips. The food is wrapped up in a news paper; at least reading the paper takes your mind off the fish and chips! Here at the coast, we travel by bus. The buses are always late. I was knocked down by an old lady the other day because I didn’t stand in the queue. English people seem very quiet and reserved, so I was very surprised to see how violent they become about queues. Also, if you ask them directions, they suddenly become very chatty and go on for hours.I’d like to come back here next year to see all my friends again—oh yes, and to learn some more English...Your loving son,Hans "I think they’re mad" (Paragraph 2) probably means that()
A. they are wildly interested in English
B. they are angry with me
C. they are becoming wild in England
D. they do not like to play outside

John F. Kennedy was the youngest American to be elected president of the United States. During the World War II John F. Kennedy had an outstanding record in the Navy. After the war Kennedy worked briefly as a newspaperman, then entered politics. He was three times elected to the House of Representatives before becoming a senator from Massachusetts. In 1960 he was elected president in a very close race in which there were charges of irregularities.Kennedy’s term of office was marked by the achievements in appeals to idealism, a broad participation of people in politics, and improved civil rights. In international affairs, Kennedy saw the failure of the American-backed invasion of Cuban missile crisis which brought Russia and the United States to the brink of war.The Kennedy family has experienced victories and tragedy. One of John Kennedy’s sisters was mentally backward and an old brother was killed in the war. John Kennedy was assassinated as was his brother, Robert Kennedy. The family has suffered scandals of sex, alcohol, and drugs in both John’s generation and in this present generation.

A. He was the youngest American elected president.
B. He was the richest American elected president.
C. He became president because he fought in the World War II.
D. He became president because his family had suffered scandals.
