Dear Mr. and Mrs. William,
I’ve learned that you are interested in Beijing Opera, so I’ve come to give you two ticket for tomorrow evening’s Beijing Opera at Mei Lanfang Theater. But it’s real a pity that you happened to be out. So I have to leave the tickets with this note. The opera will be put on by some famous actors or actresses. He is well worth watching. By the way, I’ve read the two books you lent me, that are very interested. This week, I am busy review my lessons in order to pass the final exams. I’m afraid of that I can’t go to the Opera together with you.
I hope you will have good time.
Yours,
Li Ming
1 It might understand more than you think．
A dog named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects，say researchers in Germany． 2 Its word-1earning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee．
In one experiment，the researehers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects． 3 In the tests，Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right．As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues，the seientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words．
In another experiment，the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew． 4 .
The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests．suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of removing．A month 1ater，Rico remembered half of the new names，which is even more impressive．
5 Even if they do，they call’t talk back．Still．it wouldn’t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then．You might just get a big，wet kiss in return!

It is a hot summer day，and you feel thirsty．A friend gives you a glass of cold lemonade．How do you feel when you see the glass? Will you describe your feeling as happiness or as pleasure? I believe you will say it is a feeling of pleasure．There is a connection between these two kinds of feelings，and sometimes one causes the other，but they are not the same．Pleasure is a more dependent on the five senses while happiness is independent of them．
When you are happy，little unpleasant events usuallv do not disturb you．When you are unhappy，you feel as if everything is against you．You may compensate for it by eating chocolate and sweets because this gives you pleasure，yet you stay unhappy．A person may smoke cigarettes because it gives him pleasure，yet this does not make him happier，especiallv if he knows the fact that it is not good for his heahh．
The physical world is always in a changing state．At each moment a new thing is being created，changed，transformed and then destroyed．This is the normal state of things and no one can change it．If we stay still in a certain state，we are sure to experience unhappiness sooner or later．0n the other hand, if
we adjust to the environment，nothing can influence our moods．Then outer events have nothing to do with our inner joy of mind．
The room of the mind is filled with worry or fear．If you are free of thinking about them，the room has been emptied，and then you will see what is happening and experience it． When your mind stays quiet，you will see that happiness comes from the inside．

Unlike Britain, the US does not have a national health care service. Most people buy medical insurance to help pay for medical care. The government only helps pay for some medical care for the old and the people who are on low incomes. The problems of those who cannot afford insurance have become an important political subject.
In Britain, when people are ill, they usually go to a family doctor first. However, people in America sometimes go straight to an expert. Children are usually taken to a doctor who is an expert in the treatment of children. In Britain, if a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, their family doctor will usually recommend a specialist, which will save more time and money both for the patients and the public fund（基金）.
In Britain, doctors do not go to people’s homes when they are ill. People always make appointments to see the doctor in the doctor’s office. In a serious situation, people call for an ambulance. In America, hospitals must treat all seriously ill patients, even if they do not have medical insurance. The gov-ernment will then help pay for some of the cost of the medical care.
