Dear editor(编辑)，

    I used to be a doctor in the children’s department of a hospital．Sometimes I treated (医治)children who had been poisoned by medicines for older family members．The children don’t know the medicines are dangerous，they just know they taste sweet．Children easily open the bottle that we use in China．

    Some days ago I talked about medicines with an American．He showed me a kind of plastic bottle．The design was quite simple and I am sure our Chinese factories could produce these bottles．The top of the bottle locks but can be opened by pressing down on it while turning．This is difficult for most children to do，although adults can open them very easily．

    I am certain that the cost of making such tops would be very small．As a doctor，I’d love to see this done．And most parents would be grateful(感激)．

                                                               Sincerely yours，

                                                                   Wang Fang

Frank Smithson woke up and got up to turn off the alarm clock(闹钟). “Oh no!” he thought to himself. “Another day at that office; a boss (老板) who shouts at me all the time.”

As Frank went downstairs, his eyes fell on a large brown envelope (信封) by the door. He was very happy when he opened it and read the letter inside. “Bigwoods Football Pools (足球赌博公司) would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds（英镑）.”

Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette fell from his lips (唇) as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.

At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. “Please explain why you're so late,” his boss said. “Go and jump in the lake,” said Frank. “I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye. Find yourself someone else to shout at.”

That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar (雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men, neatly dressed in grey suits. “Mr. Smithson,” one of them said, “we're from Bigwoods Pools. I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…”
