  One day,Betty saw an advertisement in a magazine. It offered a packet of 100 mixed stamps for $ 10. Betty wanted to start a stamp collection,so she ordered the packet. One hundred mixed stamps seemed a good way to begin a collection. She sent a packet order to the stamp company ， and waited excitedly for the stamps to arrive.

Betty checked the mail every day for four weeks,but the stamps didn't arrive. So Betty decided to write to the company.

  "Dear Sir / Madam，" she wrote, "A month ago,I sent you a postal order for $ 10 as payment for 100 mixed stamps. But they haven't arrived yet. Please send them by return of mail."

  Another month passed,the stamps still didn't arrive,neither did she receive any reply to her letter. She asked her father for advice. Mr. Wilson said, "You must write a stronger letter. Make the stamp company worry that you will report them to the city government."

  "Dear Sir / Madam," Betty wrote in her second letter, "I，m writing to complain about your poor service. Two months ago,I sent you a postal order for $10 as payment for 100 mixed stamps. I did not receive the stamps. A month ago,I wrote to inform you of this. I still haven't received the stamps and you haven't replied to my letter. If I do not receive the stamps within seven days,I shall report this matter to the city government.，'

  One picture was a calm lake. The lake was a perfect thing for peace because of the high mountains around it. And overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. A (4) who saw this picture would think that it was a perfect picture of peace.

  The other picture had mountains too. But they were rugged(高低不平的).Above was the dark sky,from which heavy rain fell. A waterfall was rushing down the side of the mountain. This picture did not look p   (5) at all. But when the king looked c   (6) he found behind the waterfall a very small bush g   (7) and a mother bird sitting on her nest(鸟窝)一in perfect peace.
