13．First Lady Michelle Obama is on a five-day trip to Asia．She is visiting Japan and Cambodia to help publicize a program called"Let Girls Learn"．Administration officials set up the campaign to support the education of millions of girls worldwide．
Before her trip，Mrs．Obama and her husband noted the inability of an estimated 62-million girls to attend school．They said educating the girls should be a foreign policy goal．
This week，Mrs．Obama criticized the fact that tens of millions of girls are not receiving a satisfactory education．In her opinion piece，she wrote this failure to educate girls it was more than"a tragic waste of potential．"It is both a serious public health issue and a problem for the economic health of nations and the world．She also said it was"a threat to the security of countries around the world"．
The First Lady noted by 2012，every part of the developing world was educating both girls and boys in primary schools．But this is not the case in secondary education．She wrote in some areas girls face"the cultural values and practices that limit the prospects of women in their societies"．
The Obama administration launched the"Let Girls Learn"campaign earlier this month．At the time，Mrs．Obama noted plans to involve the U．S．Peace Corps，and the Volunteer Development Agency．
"This effort will draw on the talent and energy of the nearly 7，000Peace Corps volunteers serving in more than 60countries．Through this effort，Peace Corps will be supporting hundreds of new community projects to help girls go to school and stay in school．And，I want to emphasize that these programs will be community-generated and community-led．They will be based on solutions devised by local leaders，families and yes，even the girls themselves．"

12．Allow me to introduce you to Terry，a window salesman from England．If I could take you back about 20years，you'd know Terry as a complete green hand，who was wet behind the ears in just about everything he attempted．A person couldn't sell false teeth to his own Granny，let alone he could compete with the other salespeople in the industry． You know，the kind who could sell snow to Eskimos．
Terry's boss decided to send him out on a practical field trip on his first day．So off he went，but he was extremely nervous．With his hands and his knees shaking，he approached the front door and knocked at it．And an old woman appeared．After dozens of cups of tea and pieces of biscuits，the woman signed a contract and purchased over 7，000worth of windows．
The woman had already talked with 6excellent salesmen that week，all of whom offered her cheaper ones!That's right-Terry's price was the most expensive and he was also the most inexperienced salesman there ever was．
So，what happened then？Here comes the secret．The woman said she liked the young lad more than the others．That's all there was to it．She didn't care about the extra expense．Even the other salesmen couldn't persuade her to pay less than this young lad was asking for．
The truth is that the young lad left on the woman the first impression that shone brighter than any of the salesman's talk．First impressions count，not the sales techniques，not the low prices．The actual"personality"the kid honestly gave was all that was required．If you market your own products and services，consider what impression you are giving to others．If you appeal to them，then you've already done half of the work．If this means redesigning your presentation，then so be it．If this means going out of your way to be polite，helpful and giving the best possible shopping experience to your customers，the so be it．

Dear Kelly，
I've been back home safely from England．Thank you for the warmly reception during my stay in England．

5．Jake Denham fell over and lost one of his skis while skiing．Unable to find his ski anywhere，Jake decided（61）to take（take）off the other ski and walk down the mountain．
（62）It was getting dark．He knew that he had to find a safe place before dark or he（63）would die （die） without doubt that night in the cold．At home，Jake watched lots of TV programmes about living （64）in difficult situations．He made（65）a hole in the snow．Outside the temperature fell to a （66）dangerous （danger）-15℃that night，but inside it Jake was safe from the cold．
But he had to get down the mountain the next morning．The TV programmes said，"If you get lost，find someone else's tracks through the snow and follow them．"Jake did so（67）after he got up the next morning．Nine hours after he lost his ski，he found a team of workers，（68）who brought him to safety．（69）Amazingly（amaze），Jake didn't even have to go to hospital．
So，next time someone says that（70）watching （watch ） TV is a waste of time，think of Jake．Sometimes watching TV can save your life．
