Nowadays，phone calls and messages help us make regular contact（联系）with others．
It means that we seldom write letters now．But a TV show，Letters Alive （见字如面），is bringing back this old habit．

The letters were written by people from different times in history．For example，in one episode（集），they read a letter written by famous writer Xiao Hong to her younger brother in 1941．The letter shows that Xiao Hong missed her brother so much and had great hopes for his future．
"Every letter opens another world for us，"according to Guan Zhangwen，the director of the TV show．"It seems that we can experience the real lives and feelings of the writers．"Since its first episode on Dec 5，Letters Alive has been widely praised．Many audience（观众）said that it has provided a breath of fresh air to today's TV shows．

Lu Xun is one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century. Besides his famous stories, he also wrote many influential articles about the living conditions of Chinese people.
Born in 1881 to a rich family, Lu Xun had a happy childhood. In 1893, however, his grandfather, a senior government official, was put into prison for taking money. At the same time, his father became seriously ill. From that time on, his family were no longer accepted by their relatives and friends. These early experiences greatly influenced his writing.
By the time Lu Xun arrived in Nanjing to study at university in 1899, he already believed that Chinese society had to change and become modern. In 1902 he went to study in Japan. There, he began writing
articles for several Chinese student magazines. He showed a gift for writing and translating(翻译) and he even wrote several books, although none was popular. He returned to China in 1909 because he was in need of money.
After working for several years as a teacher in Beijing, Lu Xun again returned to writing. In 1918, he wrote his famous short story Diary of a Madman. It was the first Chinese novel published(出版)using the everyday language that people spoke, which helped make it a great success. This, together with his novel The True Story of Ah Q (1921), made Lu Xun a leading Chinese writer.
Although successful, Lu Xun still worried greatly about China’s future. In 1926, he moved to Shanghai and gave up writing stories in order to devote himself to what he called “pen warfare”. He now only wrote articles which called on the people to fight against the government. For this, the government stopped him from publishing any more books. He was forced to write his articles using false names.
Since his death in 1936, Lu Xun’s importance and influence have grown. T oday, ma ny of his writings are included in school textbooks and his works are read by millions around the world.

B. articles about himself

五、任务型阅读（共10空；每空1分，计10分）
Many people think they have a bad memory. They always spend so much time reciting(背诵) lessons. What can we do to improve our memory? Here are some suggestions.
Vivian, 15, from Beijing
I have some tricks to help remember lessons. First, you need to understand the meaning of each sentence. The better you understand, the easier it is to remember. Second, you can do research to get some background on it, like its writer and how he or she wrote it. It can help you understand the story better. Finally, read it aloud and imagine things in the story. Y ou may find a lot of pictures come to mind. Then try to describe them.
Zhao Y ujie, 14, from Jiangsu
Finding the best way to learn and remember can be hard sometimes. But don’t worry. It’s all about finding what works for you. One thing that always helps me is taking good notes while I read my lessons. But instead of copying it word for word, I put it into my own words. This will help you think through things better. Also, you can use the notes to go back and review later. Try this on your next lesson and see if it helps!
