When 70-year-old Bernie Meyers of Wilmette, Ill, died suddenly a cancer, his eight-year-old granddaughter Sarah Meyers didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to him.For weeks Sarah said little about what she was feeling.But then one day she came home from a friend’s birthday party with a bright helium balloon(氦气球).“She went into the house,”her mother recalls,“and came out carrying the balloon and an envelope addressed to ‘Grandpa Bernie, in Heaven Up High.’”

  The envelope contained a letter in which Sarah told her grandfather that she loved him and hoped somehow he could hear her.Sarah wrote her return address on the envelope, tried the envelope to the balloon and let it go.“The balloon seemed so fragile,”her mother remembers.“I didn’t think it would make it pass the trees.But it did.”

  Two months passed.Then one day a letter arrived addressed to“Sarah Meyers’ Family”and bearing(盖有)a York, Pa(宾州)post mark.

  “Dear Sarah, family & friends,

  Your letter to Grandpa Bernie Meyers safely reached the address and was read by him.I understand they can’t keep material things up there, so it drifted back to Earth.Those who live in Heaven just keep thoughts, memories, love and things like that.Sarah, whenever you think about your grandpa, he know and is very close by with love.

  Sincerely yours

  Don Kopp(also a grandpa)

  Kopp, a 63-year-old retired clerk, had found the letter and the nearly deflated balloon while hunting in northeastern Pennsylvania(宾夕法尼亚州)——almost 600 miles from Wilmette.The balloon had floated over at least three states and one of the Great Lakes before coming to rest on a tree.

  “Though it took me a couple of days to think of what to say,”Kopp notes,“it was important to me that I write to Sarah.”

  “I just wanted to hear from Grandpa somehow,”says Sarah.“Now I think I have heard from him.”

Dear Carol,

I wear braces (牙箍) and I know I look just terrible in them. Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come off?

Connie N.

Philadelphia, PA

Dear Connie,

Start by thinking about how good you are going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative about your appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime there are several things that you can do to lift your spirits:

Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape of your hair will be flattering to your face and also good for your type of hair (fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.) Choose a hairstyle that draws attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.

Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup(化妆品), it should look natural. Blusher(腮红) and lip gloss(润唇膏) in light tones of peach or pink are best.

Be well-groomed(打扮). Neatness really counts. People see a total look about you before they ever become aware of your braces. And first impressions are lasting ones!

68. Why did Connie write to Carol?

A. Because she really cared about her clothes.

B. Because she cared much about her appearance.

C. Because her teeth were not good.

D. Because she didn’t know how to make up.

69. Carol’s idea about one’s appearance is that ___________.

A. change your hairstyle and you will look beautiful

B. wear your make-up and you will look good

C. neatness is not important

D. if you yourself don’t think you look smart, neither will people

70. Carol tries to let Connie know that ___________.

A. the deepest impressions one leaves on others is the first ones

B. spirits are important when we talk about one’s appearance

C. there are some practical ways to draw people’s attention away from where you don’t feel good 

D. all of the above

71. The underlined word “count” means “___________” in the last paragraph.

A. say numbers in order        B. be of importance           C. not include        D. be accepted
