　　A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping．It wasn’t much but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too．A woman had dropped what seemed to be a dime(十美分硬币)．

　　The sound of a coin dropping on the street catches everybody’s attention．Whatever the coin is, no one ignores(忽视)the sound of it．It got me thinking about sounds again．

　　There are so many sounds that catch the most attention．People in New York City seldom turn to look when they hear the siren(警报)of a police car or an ambulance(救护车)．

　　At home in my little town in Connecticut, it’s different．The faraway high sound of a police car, an ambulance or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I’m sitting and brings me to the window if I’m in bed．

　　It’s the quietest sounds that catch our attention most easily, not the loudest．In the middle of the night, I can hear water dropping a hundred yards away through three closed doors．I’ve been hearing little creaking(吱嘎)noises and sounds in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house．Why do I never hear those sounds in the daytime?

Dear sister:

　　I've been happy here in New York. But when holidays are coming near, I really feel “There's no place like home,” just like the English proverb says, “East, west, home is the best.

　　You must be doing well in English class. The letter you sent to me was written in good English.

　　Well, I want to bring my friend Diana to our home. I dare not tell Mama directly. If Dad and Mum say that will be all right, please write to me as soon as possible.

　　Diana is a poor girl whose parents died last month in a terrible accident. She has to spend the holidays alone. She wants to see China and try everything that we Chinese do. She has learned Chinese for two years and can speak a little. She has great curiosity about our family life and will ask you many questions about it. Isn't it a good chance to understand each other? I'm sure you'll learn many things from her.

　　Please give my love to our father and mother!

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Your sister,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    Mei

little.

up.
