Dear Sir or Madam,
I booked a room in your hotel for my friend Tom yesterday. But I am real sorry to tell you that I had to change my booking now. My friend Tom had planned to visit our city this summer vacation, but I booked Room 101 for him. However, I was telling that an unexpected thing happened, that he had to deal with by himself. As the result, he couldn’t come as plan. He had to change into the booking date for the room. I would appreciate if you could push the booking date back the week. I hope this will not cause you any troubles. I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

English learners can improve their abilities to remember and use new words by testing themselves. So next time you are studying English, try to test 1. (your). A simple way to test vocabulary is to create flashcards (抽认卡) with clues on one side and answers on the back. Flashcards in the past were small cards or pieces of paper with a word or a question on one side and the meaning or answer to 2. question on the other side. Students used them to quiz each other or quiz themselves to prepare 3. examinations. Now, many online services allow students 4. (create) digital flashcards. One such service is Quizlet, 5. learners can do a variety of activities based on one set of new words or 6. (inform). You can match words and meanings, write a word after 7. (look) at a picture, or listen to a word and write it. You can also play 8. (game) with the new words and meanings.
Another way is to ask yourself questions. Lynn recommends that learners ask questions such as, “What did I learn today? What were those words I thought were 9. (interest)? What 10. (be) the verb tense I learned? How does it work?”
My grandma and I shared an amazing relationship as uncommon as the double rainbow. When I was ten, we started our first_________during World War II. We sowed seeds together—in the_________and in me.
We planted beans, corn, watermelon and flowers. I must_________that I rode twenty miles each Saturday more for the conversation with grandma and the homemade cookies than for the_________. But however full I was after I ate, I was always left_________for more of the wisdom and optimism she_________with me.
I’ll never forget the day when we tasted our first harvest as a result of_________a plum(李子)tree with an apricot(杏子) tree. The ripe fruit was pink, not purple like a plum, nor orange like an apricot,_________a mixture of both. “Granny, will they be any good?” I asked.“_________!” she said, “Didn’t we do all that was needed?”
Sure enough, they were__________. “That’s because they are special,__________any other fruit you’ve ever eaten. They are plumcots!” she said__________as we ate most of what we had__________, “You always get out what you__________. Sow apple seeds and you get apple trees; sow weeds and you will__________weeds; sow the seeds of great ideas and you will get great__________,” she said softly, looking directly into my eyes.
From my grandma, I learned the seeds of__________are neither unusual genes, nor are they__________on the high IQ, the skin-deep beauty, the race, or the family background. The seeds of greatness are attitudes and beliefs that begin in children by observing and learning the lifestyle of role models and heroes.
“Shape your__________and actions after people who are enthusiastic, excellent, honest,__________and creative in their service to others.” Armed with my grandma’s words, I set out bravely, sowing and then harvesting my own great life stories.

Mental health experts estimate that depression affects more than 120 million people worldwide. It severely affects the person’s quality of life and, in extreme cases, can lead to people killing themselves. Anti-depressant medicines have been shown as an effective treatment for most patients. But the drugs are unable to help a small number of people with the disorder.
For such person, doctors may suggest deep transcranial magnetic stimulation(经颅磁力刺激), or DTMS for short. In this treatment, patients wear a special helmet connected to a machine. An electric coil(线圈)in the helmet sends out regular waves of electromagnetic energy. These beating sounds produce changes in the brain area responsible for the disorder.
Electromagnetic stimulation(刺激) was first tried to treat depression over 30 years ago. Now, a new generation of wiring can direct the energy on one part of the brain. DTMS starts with daily 20-mimute-long treatments for 20 to 30 days. The patient then returns for treatment two to three times a week for several weeks.
The only side effect is sometimes slight head pain. Aaron Tendler is the chief medical officer of Brains way, the company that makes the machine. He said that it’s hard to say how long the effects of DTMS last.
DTMS is being used in Europe to treat both depression and other conditions. Patients there are getting treated for dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. And DTMS is even being used to help some Europeans give up smoking.
But in the United States, the Federal Food and Drug Administration(FFDA) has approved it only for the treatment of depression which cannot be treated by medicine. But clinical tests are continuing on other conditions, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Both of the disorders, like depression, can get in the way of a person working and getting along with people.
1.Why are people concerned about depression?
A.Because it may lead to death sometimes.
B.Because only a few people can recover from it.
C.Because it does not affect social communication.
D.Because medicine treatment usually fails to work on it.
2.How does DTMS help patients with depression?
A.By wearing a helmet in daily life.
B.By performing an operation on the head.
C.By making them face the disease bravely.
D.By letting electromagnetic waves stimulate the brain.
3.What can we infer about DTMS from the text?
A.It is quite safe to use it worldwide.
B.The use of it in America is forbidden.
C.It can cure patients of depression in a month.
D.It will be widely used in treating more diseases.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Finding Hope in A Hopeless Depression
B.DTMS - A New Treatment for Depression
C.The Killer of Modern Humans Depression
D.Using Electromagnetic Waves to Cure Depression
