Then he could not read or see clearly, so he left his work on December 14, 1999. It was difficult for Charles. He never dreamed that this would happen to him. He thought he would stay with Peanuts until he was in his early eighties. It is a pity that Charles died on February 12, 2000. Snoopy lost his father and many people who liked the cartoon were sad.

八、书面表达 (共1大题，满分15分)
Books are the ladder of human progress. I have read many interesting and meaningful books. Among them, there is one story called “Yu Gong Moves the Mountains”. It’s interesting and meaningful.
Once upon a time, there were two mountains near Yu Gong’s house. They were too high and big. So Yu Gong and his children tried to move the mountains. He thought that the mountains would become smaller and smaller as long as they kept trying. The gods were moved by Yu Gong’s act and helped him move the mountains.
What I have learned from the story is: We can never know what’s possible unless we try to make it happen. As long as we work hard, we can solve most of the problems.
