附加题 (共10分)
My name is Dante. I was born (出生) in Venice and studied art at university here. It's a very interesting and lovely place. Though I sometimes spend time away, I always come back because it's my hometown.
In Venice, there are no roads, only canals (运河). I live in a house in Rialto. The house was once the home of a merchant named Vezzi. The Vezzi family made things like plates and bowls and became rich by selling these around the world. In the old days, merchants' houses in Venice were usually very big. They had to have space to make and sell things. So a merchant's house also had to be an office, a factory, a store and a home. My family moved in in 1919. My grandfather bought it. He died before I was born.
Sadly, there are fewer and fewer people living in Venice. The population (人口) here stood at about 70,000 in 1996. But now it has fallen to about 60,000. I welcome the tourists (游客). At the same time, I want people who love the city to come here to live and give Venice back a life. 根据材料内容完成下列任务。 任务一：判断正(T)误(F)。
( ) 1. The Vezzi family made money by selling plates and bowls.
( ) 2. There are about 10,000 more people living in Venice today than 20 years ago.
任务二：简要回答下列问题。
3. What does Dante think of his hometown? _________________________________________ 4. Does Dante live with his grandfather now? _________________________________________ 任务三：选择最佳答案。

You must know our classmate Sun Li. In my eyes, she's so nice. She studies very hard. And she's always ready to help others. I learned more about Chinese culture from her. Sadly, she's going back to China. To show how much I'll miss her, I'll have a party for her at my home this Saturday evening. Can you come? If you can, please help with these things: think of some games to play and if you could put on some kind of a show at the party, that would be great.
