Dear editor,
Mary is my friend and she is a very good-hearted girl. She’s always the first to help out others. But her habits make me mad sometimes and she just won’t change her ways. For most situations, that’s just fine with me, as I know it’s what make her who she is. However, sometimes it’s just so hard for me to bear her behavior. She has recently got a cellphone, but she often borrows mine to make calls. My phone has a chain with it. She always tries to open it like her own phone. I usually open it for her, but not always, as sometimes I’m driving my car, so she needs to get it out of my purse and open it herself.
This weekend we were at a party in a faraway village. She borrowed my cellphone. As it was cold outside, I let her take it outside without opening it. Now it’s broken because she didn’t open it properly. I wouldn’t be so mad, but over the weekend she also borrowed my car and never offered to pay for the gas, which made me very angry. She should have offered to pay for the gas. As I have mentioned, she’s the type to help out others when and where she can. Perhaps because of that, she thinks others should also do the same for her. Sometimes I just think she is very childish. I don’t want to hurt her, but I do want to let her know that not everyone can accept that. What should I do to let her know that?
Yours,
Lily

Few of us haven't read Cinderella, the story of a young woman living in poverty who meets the prince of her dreams, Some might not want to admit it, but there is a hidden Cinderella in everyone's heart—we all wish we could achieve recognition or success after a period of obscurity（默默无闻） or neglect．

         Mary Santiago has that secret dream, too．Her story is featured in Another Cinderella Story, a film set in a US high Mary is shy but loves to dance．Compared with other girls, she is invisible．However, her world changes completely when a famous teenage pop singer, Joey Parker, appears．

         Joey is everything the rest of the boys in her class are not—kind, handsome and desirable．Mary and Joey's paths cross at a ball．They meet and falHn love with each other．But when Mary has to．rush back home, she leaves behind her MP3 player, which becomes the only clue Joey has to find the girl of his dreams．Of course, there is a wicked（邪恶的） stepmother, who turns out to be Dominique Blatt and she takes in Mary after her dancer mother dies．Dominique treats Mary like a maid and does everything she can to make sure Mary doesn't get into the top dance school．Her two daughters are equally determined to stop Joey falling for Mary, even if that means embarrassing her．

         The story, though it mostly follows Cinderella, does add a few modem day twists to the classic fairy tale．Refreshingly, the film, unlike many high school films, does not focus on looks, although the actors are all beautiful．There is also a lot less materialism in Another Cinderella Story than in many similar movies．

My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the   36   of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then    37   the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on   38   his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he   39   belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be   40   , I didn’t think much of it, but I had   41   to warn my neighbors of the drawings   42   appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the   43   to do so, because I was a little busy recently.

  On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I   44   Mary, my elderly neighbor,   45   at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once   46  , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve   47   every item he has sent. You don’t know how much   48   the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our   49  , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days,   50   she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small   51   of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought   52   to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.

  I have decided that my son should   53   this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most   54   make their day.

  It’s doing the little, simple things that can often make a big   55   in someone’s life.
