Dear Tom,

In your e-mail you ask me about how to choose a university based on its location. If you choose an university in your country, you may be have more chances to go back home visit your parents. Also, it easy for you to adapt to the new environment. After all, there’s not much different between different cities in the same country.

If they intend to go to a university out of your country, you’ll have different experiences. Live in a strange country can strengthen your ability to adapt to a new situation, which is of great benefit to you. Beside, the new experiences in a new place enables you to broaden your horizons and enrich your knowledge.

In a word, you can choose a university depending on your own situation. I hope my advice can help you.

Dear Daddy,

You’ve been gone for six years and I’ve had time to think. Now I’m ready to write this letter to you.

For a long time after Mom died, I thought I liked her more because I didn’t like your attitude and I thought that her softer side was more desirable. In my 15-year-old’s mind, I thought you could have stopped my mother from drinking herself to death. Instead, you were off playing tennis and working. Later, I realized that no one could make someone stop drinking. Support is important, but at the end of the day, it is a choice. You were just doing your best.

What I have learned is that I am much like you. You taught me self-confidence. I know if I am prepared to work hard enough for something, I will be successful. This is no small thing. What I’ve realized since you died is that you were always there for me. You fought to ensure that I got my place on the Quebec badminton team that I had earned. When I got divorced (離婚), you came up to see if I had what I needed to take care of the boys and you paid off my car.

You taught me not to spend money I don’t have. I’ve always kept to that rule. It has served me well. We always had a good home to live in, nice vacations, and everything we needed and most of what we wanted.

You were not a perfect parent and neither am I. My children are much more thankful than I ever was. I am thankful that I had you as my dad. I am still Daddy’s girl and I am proud of it.

Dear Robert,

How time flies! The happy days we shared often shine in my memory.

John sent his mother expensive presents on his mother's birthday every year. He liked to show her how rich he was. "I must find something wonderful for her, and it must be the only one in the whole world. Then my mother must be very happy.” John thought. He advertised (登廣告) in the newspapers. “Wanted—the best present for the woman who has everything. "

For many days his telephone did not stop ringing. People phoned him from all over the world. They wanted to sell him "the best present". But they did not have anything that was the only one in the whole world.

Then less than a week before his mother's birthday, a man came to his office. He was carrying a cage, and in the cage there was a large bird.

"This bird, "the man said, "can speak ten languages and sing any pop song. There is no other bird like it in the world. "

"I will listen to it, "John said. “If what you said is true, I will buy the bird from you.”

The man spoke to the bird. "Talk to me in French, " he said. The bird spoke to him in French. "Tell me a joke in Japanese, " he said. The bird told him a joke in Japanese. "Sing a famous pop song, "he said. The bird sang a famous pop song.

"I'll buy it, "John said. "How much do you want?"

"One hundred thousand dollars, "the man said. This was a lot of money but John paid him. Then he sent the bird to his mother with a birthday card.

The day after his mother's birthday he phoned her. "Well, mother, "he said, "Is the bird wonderful?"

"Oh, it was delicious, dear, "she said.

A. Because he loved his mother very much.

B. Because his mother needed these presents.

C. Because he wanted to show he had a lot of money.

D. Because he was the richest man in the world.

2.How did people know John wanted the best present in the world?

A. They rang John up.

B. They knew it from the newspapers.

C. John phoned them one by one.

D. They knew it on TV.

3.Why did John pay the man a lot of money for the bird?

A. Because it was such a beautiful bird.

B. Because he wanted to help the poor man with the bird.

C. Because the bird could look after his mother.

D. Because he thought the bird could make his mother happy.

Recently I have discovered it’s often easier for me to do something every day than to do it just some days. I post to my blog six days a week. I take notes every day. I write in my one-sentence journal every day. Many people have told me that they find it easier to exercise when they exercise every day. If I try to do something just four days a week, I spend a lot of time arguing with myself: Is today the day, or is it tomorrow, or the next day? Does the week start on Sunday or Monday?

If you do something every day, you tend to fall into a routine. Routine has a bad reputation for lacking excitement. It’s true that novelty and challenge bring happiness and that people who break their routines, try new things, and go to new places are happier, but I think that some routine activities also bring happiness. The pleasure of doing the same thing, in the same way, every day, shouldn’t be overlooked. By repeating, you can find happiness in activities like doing dishes or sweeping the floor as well as in your beloved morning coffee-and-news routines.

Two geniuses whom I know of also wrote about the power of doing something every day. Andy Warhol wrote, “Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more.” Gertrude Stein made a similar point, “Anything one does every day is important and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.”

So if there’s something that you wish you did more regularly, try doing it every day; if you do something every day, take great pleasure in it.

A. It’s easier to do the same thing every day.

B. It’s important to do the same thing every day.

2.People usually tend to break their routines because they________.

3.Which of the following statements does Andy Warhol probably agree to?

A. Doing something that is exciting.

B. Doing something almost every day.

C. Doing something every day, not only once.

D. Doing something every day or only once.

4.Which can be the best title of the passage?

If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. 1. Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.

1．Greetings

Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how've you been?” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. 2.Getting to the point

There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? 3. However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you?”

3．Interrupting without offence

Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. 4. Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”．

4．Closing the call

This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. 5. Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.

A．Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.

B．Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made.

C．You should make a little small talk at the beginning.

D．You'd better greet him or her in a friendly way.

E．So it may be difficult to get a word in.

F．Practice English through phone calls.

G．Never fear, though!

Life is full of ups and downs but it is never too easy to achieve success. As the old English say goes “Failure is the mother of success.” I was asked to play in a table tennis match last term. After the match, I was confident I would win. Therefore, I failed. How sadly I was! Luckily, my P.E. teacher helped me out. He told me not to lose my heart. He also helped me my skills. With his help, my confidence returned and I come up with several new idea. The next day, though I had to play against another more experience boy, I beat him. So don’t be afraid of failure. If we can deal with it well, failure can be the mother of success.
