I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I’m sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering (康复). I’m surprised that in China someone’s liver (肝脏) matched yours! This is really a moving story—a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he doesn’t even know!
You’re right. We shouldn’t care too much about our weight. I’m happy you stopped taking those losing-weight pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep slim is important, especially for an actress, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor’s advice is indeed very good—exercise for at least half an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.
It’s not only in your country. It’s the same here with us Chinese—many people are always going on diets or taking losing-weight pills, which are often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you will leave hospital as soon as possible.
Love,
Helen

If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists (心理学家).
Make a decision not to be afraid in talks. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t refuse party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say at first. Then say it.
If you start feeling yourself in a group, take a deep breath and put eyes on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
Even actors think that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so they can face the cameras and the public.
Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards (回报) . But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.

But do you know that the Hershey chocolate factory is more than one hundred years old? And do you know that the father of Hershey Chocolate, Milton Hershey, had many failures in business before he started his famous company?
Milton Hershey grew up in Pennsylvania. Before he became interested in making chocolate, he worked as a printer for a small newspaper at first, and then decided that printing was not the right job for him.
Then he worked at a candy factory in Lancaster. After working a few years there, he decided to open his own little candy business near Philadelphia. His first business failed because it was not making money. After that, he went to Denver to learn how to make caramels(焦糖). He took his new skills back to New York and worked selling candies on the street. But his second business also failed.
Finally, Milton Hershey moved back to Pennsylvania where he grew up. He then experimented with all sorts of different candies and chocolate. By 1893 he was selling a million dollars worth of caramel candy each year. Since his chocolate-flavored(巧克力味的) caramels were the best selling, he decided to make chocolate himself.
By experimenting, Milton Hershey discovered how to make delicious chocolate. The area where he lived had a large and easy supply of milk and sugar, which helped him succeed in his chocolate business. In 1903, Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and a town to go with it.
Today, the town of Hershey is still the home if the factory that Milton Hershey built. And if you ever visit, you can smell delicious chocolate smells just bu driving through the town.
The factory is not so hard to find, Just travel down Cocoa Avenue until you get to East Chocolate Avenue. Turn right at the traffic lights and just follow your nose.

Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It's unhappiness. Don't let it get you down. Send it away.
When you are happy, he world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When you smile,
the world smile with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷人的) and helps you to win lots of friends. A good mood always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.
No matter how happy you are, it's normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can't change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it's good to know some of the factors(因素) that influence happiness.
One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don't have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.
Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude(消极的态度) may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work.
A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it's unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark. You can't stop blaming(责备) yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I'll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.
Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?
