Dear Sir,
Last night I got caught in the heavy rain on the way to home. As the result, I got a bad cold with a headache. I felt very tiring. My mother took me see the doctor. After the examination, the doctor told me to make it easy. He said it was nothing seriously. He also told me to have a good rest for a couple of days, take the medicine on time and drunk more boiled wa?ter. So I have to ask you about a three-day leave. After I recover, I would try to make up for the missing lessons. If there are anything I do not under?stand, could I turn to you for help?
Yours, Mike

This could be the perfect gift for the partner who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach you to dance, may be the an?swer for anyone with two left feet.
The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners im?prove their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately (精确地)re-cord not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes(最大化)his/her performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibres (纤维)that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.
Sensors (传感器)record each movement and send it by an ankle trans?mitter (脚裸发射器)to a smart phone. Then a "virtual coach" application shows the information and can tell the users,what they are doing wrong, aijd help improve skills in any task with feet.
The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. "People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well," Dr Da vide Vigano said. A recent study showed that be?tween 60 and 80 per cent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf? or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.
Mr Vigano said, "People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.,,
Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around $ 120, which will go on sale in March.

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck,but when you are down,they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain quali?ties(品盾)of character,especially understanding, honesty and reliability(可靠).
Above all else,I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time,however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults(过错)in others. He notices their good points. In short,a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time,I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor (幽默),too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how to share the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I've found a friend!

English idioms(习语)are widely used,especially in the spoken language. Here are some examples for you. Do you know what they mean? By the skin of your teeth
If you just succeed in doing something and come very close to failing,people might say you do it "by the skin of your teeth". For example, you pass a test by just a few points or win a match by a little bit.
Ask for the moon
If someone tells you not to ask for the moon,they mean you can't ask for something that you cannot get or have,or try for something impossible. On cloud nine
This expression is used to describe how you feel when something good happens to you,such as when you win first prize in a competition,when you get an A in an exam,or when you receive a nice present from your parents which you want to get so much.
Sick as a dog
If you are feeling very ill,you may have used this expression. Dogs eat everything they find,which means they may easily get sick. So when people say that you are "sick as a dog", don't feel strange or even angry because they don't mean to offend(冒犯)you.

This expression means that you're really scared or nervous about something. The ancient Greek poet Homer used the expression when he wrote the famous poem The Iliad,and people have been using it ever since.

Traveling out for a short time always seems great fun. But one thing you must consider is packing. Here are some tips to help you pack.
Make a list. Think of what you need from your head to your toes. Keep the list for future reference(参考)-
Consider buying small-size samples of shampoo,toothpaste,and other items at your local shops. You can use the plastic container the next time you go away,too.
It's the best to be prepared and bring these items with you,but in an emergency, you can get them at the place you are going to. This is wonderful for light traveling (you'd be surprised at how much those little things can weigh you down) ,but remember that the time you spend buying things at the destination will reduce your visiting time.
It is the hardest thing to make a decision which clothes are suitable for the trip. Think once again from head to toe―hats,shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. Once you have packed out what you wanted to bring with you,think carefully―do you really need that extra one? If so,fine,but make sure they are really worth the extra weight.
Weather is an important factor in your packing. If it is cold,you can wear a jacket, a sweater, a regular shirt,and a T-shirt. Laying up will keep you warm,and it will leave more room in your bag. After all,you are just visiting, not moving in for good. You probably won't miss the extra sweater too much for a few days,and it certainly won't miss you.
( ) 1. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Some advice to help you pack for your travel.
B. The importance of the weather when you are traveling.
C. How to make a decision about which clothes are suitable for the trip.
D. How to share things with your friends while traveling. ( ) 2. The writer suggests that you
A. buy all the useful things at your destination
B. share everything with your friends while traveling
C. get those little things prepared and bring them with you
D. leave behind those little things if you get away for a short time
( ) 3. The underlined phrase "laying up" in the last paragraph means .
A. folding and laying one's clothes flat
B. squeezing most of your clothes into the bag
C. placing one's clothes together
D. wearing one's clothes one upon another
( ) 4. According to this passage, it is a most important factor in traveling
A. to prepare an extra pair of comfortable shoes
B. to bring with you the most suitable clothes
C. to be sure that you won't forget any little things
D. to make sure that you have a relaxing and easy time
9. A friend is not just someone (prep. + whom)
