Dear Alice,
I just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model（模特）.
Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn’t see. I can’t eat what I like, even though I’m very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece （侄女）, you have to know that money is nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
Emma
【小题1】What was Emma surprised about?

Many middle school students like watching TV very much. But from Monday to Friday, they must go to school. So on Saturday and Sunday they stay at home and watch TV from morning to night. They don’t know it’s bad for their eyes. Usually children like to eat fish, meat and chicken and don’t like vegetables or fruit. They don’t know eating more vegetables or fruit. They don’t know eating more vegetables and fruit is better than eating meat.
At school, the children only do a few minutes of sports or never do any sports. The teachers must know it isn’t good for their health.
We always think of ways to keep healthy. We must eat more vegetables and fruit, do enough sport every day. And we should watch TV and read in right ways.

It's 7 a.m. It's time to go to school. What? You don't want to go? Well, maybe you don't have to. Many children don't go to school.They stay at home. Someone teaches them at home. Usually,their parents teach them, but sometimes a special teacher teaches them. This is home schooling.
There are many reasons for home schooling. Some children are very sick and cnnnot go to school. Some students live very far in the country. There aren't any schools near their homes. Sometimes, parents just don't like the schools near their homes.
Home schooling sounds easy, but it's really not. Home-school students have to do the same work as regular(正规的)students. They study the same subjects and have homework. Also, home-school students don't meet other students in school. Sometimes, finding friends can be hard for them. Not going to school can be harder than you think.
