A brother and sister have been reunited after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwyn and Hatfield Times.
For years John Hannant Kept a photograph of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet again. Margery, the eldest of the three children, had signed up to the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby. The family lost touch and as the decade s passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts. The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize  Margery and put the family back in touch..
John, 67, had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.
“That’s the one that made it, the letter to the paper a few months age,” he said. “It’s like a dream e true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right. My sister Dorothy wrote back, But Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”
Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr. Hannat decided to take action once and for all. He and his wife Doreen, travelled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield , which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.
Now 88, she was recovering after several months in hospital, but immediately recognized her brother. John said, “It’s something that I never thought was going to happen, but I always hoped it would.” As well as finding his sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.

解析:
【小题1】细节理解题。由文章第二段可知,Margery 应当是报名参军的,因为后面提到Royal Air Force (皇家空军部队)
【小题2】数字计算题。由 1953-(2007-88)=34可知
【小题3】细节判断题。由文章最后一句可知Jack Cooke现在有一个儿子和一个女儿及六
个孙子和孙女
【小题4】推理判断题。有文章第二段可知WHT应该指的是那家帮John 找  Margery的报社。
