Dear Peter,

It was great fun seeing you at the dance. I wonder whether I would ever run into you at school or not. School is going well. I am so busy that I can hardly have time to go and play on the weekend. I always go to BYU^ library to learn English or read newspapers.

Perhaps you can visit me sometime. My house is close to BYU,also near Provo City Power. You can go straight from ELC. and when you see the 700N,just turn left. My apartment's name is Allred. It's easy to find it. I like my warm house though it is small; it's a sweet home after all. Also if you want to visit me,we can cook Chinese food. You must miss Taiwan's food,yes? We may watch movies or play basketball together. I haven’t played basketball for a long time. I'm usually at home after 7 p. m.，but I have to go to bed at about 10： 30 p. m. because I must get up at 6 ： 30 a. m. every day. I thought that your Chinese was pretty good. Oh,I'm going skiing. That's all. Have a good time!

Yours,

Linda

Politeness or having good manners are both about respecting others and yourself.

How would you feel if someone：

. talked to your friend but turned his back to you?

. pushed you out of the way to get the seat you were about to sit on?

. let the door slam in your face as you were about to walk through it?

. shared your things but never shared anything of theirs?

. never said “please” or “thank you”？

. didn't pass your phone message to your friend?

Good manners are about considering the feelings of other people,and being the kind of person that others will like and respect.

In the “olden days” children were taught about the Golden Rule — Always do to others as you would wish them to do to you if you were in their place.

This is still a good way to behave nowadays. If you are respectful to others,then you are more likely to be treated with respect by them.

If you show good manners everywhere you go,then you are more likely to encourage others to behave in the same way towards you.

I recently traveled home to visit my family,and to my great disappointment,it was during this trip that I realized that my 85-year-old mother Nancy,frail (虚弱) and thin,but trying her best to hide her mistakes and poor memory,had so sadly begun her quick fade into dementia (痴呆) .

In short,it hit me like a ton of bricks. She was a lovely and loving woman,my confidant and guide at times when I was most confused and helpless before. She has been my greatest source of wisdom (智慧的源泉) and support for so many years. I was quite sad that she was painful,and fell into deep dementia.

When my trip was over and I was leaving for the airport,I said a tearful goodbye to my mother,perhaps for the final time. And just like that,I felt like I would never see her again quite the same as a fully-realized adult who I could turn to to explain the world to me,and to answer my most basic questions. In fact,I was completely at a loss (不知所措) as to how my mother would be when I next saw her. How quick would her dementia be? As my plane lifted off the ground,I felt like something crucial and essential was being ripped from my heart. And I was alone and heartbroken,not just for me but also for her,and I cried as I had not been for a very long time.

Beijing is an old capital city developing at a fast pace. The Forbidden City is the ideal place for you to begin your exploration of Beijing by opening its mysterious (神奇的) face. With over 9 ,000 rooms and over 250 acres (英亩) ，this large palace building was built between 1406 and 1420. The Forbidden City burned down and was rebuilt,sacked and renovated (修复) for times,so most of the architecture (建筑) you can see today dates back to the 18th century in the Qing Dynasty. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as you have to walk a lot!

There is a Starbucks in the palace in case you need some coffee to recharge you. I highly recommend you to have a guide. It is quite helpful to have a guide escort (护送) you and tell the stories behind the palace. If you are a non-group tourist,I suggest you rent a multilingual guide recorder either at Meridian Gate (southern gate of Forbidden City) or the Gate of Divine Prowess (Northern gate of Forbidden City) and return it when you finish your Forbidden City Tour. Remember the open hours from 8： 30 to 17： 00.

There is a fish called the black spot angelfish,which can change from female (雌性) to male (雄性) . No,it cannot do it by simply wishing to become male. The change happens for a specific reason.

The angelfish live in groups. And each group has one male fish,which is blue in color,and four female fish,which are yellow in color.

The male angelfish is the strongest and largest member of the group. He is the one who protects and looks after the females and acts like their “safety guard”. When the male dies,the group needs a “safety guard”. This is when the largest female fish in the group begins to change its appearance.

She begins to grow larger in size. After a week,she starts changing color,from yellow to blue. Slowly? the changes take place. She begins behaving like a male. Two weeks later,black spots appear on her body. This shows that the change is complete. She is now completely male!
