摘要: Dear President, Next year I will go to study at university, but I don’t know how to adapt myself to university life. I hear many freshmen are at a loss what to do when they are at university. They can’t take care of themselves in their everyday life, feeling lonely and homesick. Clothes, money or mobile phones are sometimes gone. And because of different climates and food, they often feel sick. Some even rent rooms outside the campus. Could you tell me how to deal with these problems so that I will be able to suit the university life in the future? Yours, Li Hua

Dear Editor,

  I’m writing to ask you what has happened to our youth.They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation.I will give you two examples.

  Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9∶15 am.It was very busy so there were no free seats.There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me.I didn’t know why they were not at school.They were talking loudly and laughing.It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise.A heavily pregnant woman(孕妇) and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags.I expected the teenagers to let them sit down.They saw the woman but did nothing.I had to ask them to offer her a seat.They unwillingly did so but gave me a rude look.I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me.

  Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family.I was expecting to meet his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years.During dinner, we started talking about world politics.It soon became clear that they didn’t know much.They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy.All they knew about was the Internet and which singers were the most beautiful.In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.

  I worry about the future of Germany.How could these young people become responsible workers and parents?They sit around McDonald’s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age.Maybe they have too much money.Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this “lost generation.”

Dear Susan,

  Please forward this message to students of my history class.

  Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook, the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.

  Ted Hume

  The early experiences of Rosa Parks(1913-2005), long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement, ”were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time.The black woman, however, turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.“By sitting down, ”remarked John Lewis, “she was standing up for all Americans.”

  Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom(1996)and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).

  Parks died on Oct.24, 2005.At St.Paul A.M.E.Church in Montgomery, a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life.Rice said she and others, who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention, might not have realized her impact(影响)on their lives, “but I can honestly say that without Mrs.Parks, I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.”

  After her casket(灵柩)was placed at the Capitol, U.S.President Bush, members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects.In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol, a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.

  Dear Sirs,

  I hope you will stop advertising your product in such a way that may harm our children.
