Dick lived in England. One day in January he said to his wife,“I'm going to fly to New York next week because I've got some work there.” “Where are you going to stay there?” his wife asked. “I don't know yet.” Dick answered. “Please send me your address from there in a telegram(电报),”his wife said. “All right,” Dick answered.

He flew to New York on January 31st and found a nice hotel in the center of the city. He put his things in his room and then he sent his wife a telegram. He put the address of his hotel in it.

In the evening he didn't have any work,so he went to a cinema. He came out at nine o'clock and said,“Now I'm going back to my hotel and have a nice dinner.”

He found a taxi and the driver said,“Where do you want to go?” But Dick didn't remember the name and address of his hotel.

“Which hotel are my things in?” he said. “And what am I going to do tonight?” But the driver of the taxi did not know. So Dick got out and went into a post office. There he sent his wife another telegram,and in it he wrote,“Please send me my address at this post office.”

When you get up in the morning,do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear?

If so,you probably need help when making the bigger choices in your life,like what to do when you're older.

Brave New Girls,by American author Jeanette Gadeberg,will help you make such choices.

To make them,it says,you must be a brave new girl.A brave new girl is one who's confident,healthy and happy.A brave new girl can realize her dreams.

To be brave,you need to make decisions for yourself.Other people may tell you what to do,but you should not listen to all of them.You must only do what you want.

If you always wear clothes like your favorite TV star,for example,you must stop doing so.Instead,become your own star and wear the clothes you want.

The book also tells girls to start liking how they look.

You have to like your body,it says.If you don't,you will not take good care of it and won't stay healthy.

The book also says that girls must start becoming more confident.If you're confident,you'll succeed in life.

A good way to become confident is to realize that you are as clever as boys.You just look at their grades!
