约翰先生在北京出差时住在北京饭店，离开时因匆忙将数码相机落在了饭店的房间里。请你根据下面北京饭店给他的来信，代约翰先生写一封回信，表示感谢，并对自己的粗心表示歉意。词数：100左右。
Dear John,
I'm the rooms division manager working in Beijing Hotel. My name is Li Hua. Last Monday morning, when our room waiters changed the sheets and cleaned the guest rooms, they found there was a digital camera on the bed in Room 1501. After looking through the register, I knew it was you who had left it there. The camera has been marked and kept in the register office. I'm wondering how to give it back to you. If you don't come here again recently, I can mail it to you. Please write to me telling me your idea.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.” ?
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable (好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field. ?
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal (封口) the wall so he couldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?
A. Because she didn’t like the greedy owner.
B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C. Because she basement was too cold to stay in.
D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.?

A. the poor couple B. the rich couple?
C. the guests D. the angels?
The younger angel was very angry because __________.
A. the older angel killed the farmer’s cow?
B. the older angel treated the two families unfairly?
C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live?
D. the angel of death took the cow away?

A. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.

What’s that smell? Do you hear that noise? Taste this! Look at me! Feel this, isn’t it soft? When you hear, or even use these phrases, you probably don’t stop to think about why we use them. Well, it’s because of our senses. Without us even knowing, our sense organs (nose, eyes, ears, tongue, and skin) are taking in information and sending it to the brain for processing. If we didn’t have them, we would not be able to smell, see, hear, taste, or touch anything! Senses are the physical means by which all living things see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Each sense collects information about the world and detects changes within the body. Both people and animals get all of their knowledge from their senses, and that is why senses are so important. All senses depend on the working nerve system. Our sense organs start to work when something stimulates（刺激） special nerve cells, called receptors, in a sense organ. Once stimulated, the receptors send nerve impulses along sensory nerves to the brain. Your brain then tells you what to do. For example, your sound receptors are often attacked by billions of sound waves. When these signals reach the part of the brain called the cerebral cortex（大脑皮层）, we become conscious of the sounds. Our group really learned a lot about the senses while creating this website. We hope that you are able to get just as much out of it. Please feel free to comment about anything on the site by e-mailing us. Also, don’t forget to sign the guest book! Thanks for visiting our site. Come back soon!60.
