Dear Joyce,

You must be very busy these days. I called you several times,    1.  no one answered. Are you still busy 2.  on the report?

I called you because I am having problems with Mom and my friends these days. You know, I am a shy person. That’s   3. I have few friends. Last month, some of my classmates   4.  me to the Internet café after school. It was a lot of fun  5. we could play the latest online games there, and it was the first time that I felt I was not alone anymore. However, my grades were getting   6. than ever before, and Mom found out the reason. She got really angry with 7. ! She wouldn’t even let me go out with my friends again, so I had to   8. them that I couldn’t go out with them any more. My friends laughed at me and even called me a coward (胆小鬼). I couldn’t stand    9. , so I went to the Internet café 10.  them like before. Mom is really disappointed with me now. I didn’t want to make her sad, but I still want to have my own friends. What should I do?

The Winter Olympics are also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published (发行) to mark (标志) the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.

During the 4th White Olympics, a set of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five Olympics rings were drawn on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the rings appeared on stamps celebrating the White Olympics.

In the 1950's, the stamps became more colorful. When the White Olympics arrived, the host countries (东道国) as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark the Games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the White Olympics.

Japan is the only Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics. Altogether 14,500 million stamps were sold to raise (筹集) money for this sports meeting.

Different kinds of sports were drawn on these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some sportsmen.

1.The White Olympics and the Winter Olympics are different games.

2.The Winter Olympics are held every four years。

3.Only the host countries can publish stamps to mark the Games.

4.In November 1936，the five Olympics rings were first drawn on the front of  the sportswear.

5.Japan is the only Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics.

What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success    1 only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways    2   not in others.

For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and   3   surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really   4  because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition, Thinking that I might be lucky again, I  5  joining in other art competitions, But the result was that I   6  won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a  7  artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the  8 I produced were not of a very high standard(水平).

These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky  9 , I also need to put in hard work. As we know,  10 makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.
