Dear Mike，
I'm very glad to receive the letter you sent me． I have been thinking the question you asked me． From my point of view， you can come to China after finished your studies．
For the one reason， China's development offers a number of job opportunity for the young． What's more， what you are studying is bad needed in China nowadays． In fact， many big companies in our city are hoping to hire people like me．
For another reason， China is a country with such a different culture as many foreigners enjoy living and working here． Why not come but join them？ If you came here， I will do how I can to help you．

Two years after announcing strict volunteer requirements for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and1.（realize） they could not get enough help for free， the Japanese ministry has instead turned to university and their vast human2.（resource）．
In the past few weeks， to encourage students to volunteer for the Olympics， a large number of universities3.（begin） to offer academic credits． According to a survey， 49 percent of universities in Tokyo-both 4.（nation） and private-are now considering that option．
While rewarding student volunteers 5.credits to advance their undergraduate programs6.（be） a nice gesture， the move also makes clear that the Olympic Committee does not want to pay for highly-skilled individuals7.must speak a foreign language， and work over ten full days--- Not to mention that they must pass 8.interview．
The move also raises the question of what it means to volunteer． It's quite obvious by now that there isn't enough people9.（fill） the 110，000 vacant positions．
Offering academic credits to Japanese students seems like the wrong way to encourage volunteerism， but precious time is going by for the Olympic Committee． If they cannot get the10.（require） 110，000 volunteers soon， an army of emotionless robots might just work．
It was a cold and rainy day. I had no ______ to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she ______ I come to see something at the top of the mountain.
____as I was, I made the two-hour journey ______ the fog that hung like veils (面纱). By the time I saw how ______it was near the summit, I had gone too far away. Nothing could be worth this, I ______ as I drove slowly along the dangerous highway.
“I’ll stay for lunch, but I’m heading back as soon as the fog ______.” I announced. “But I want you to drive me to the garage to pick ______ my car.” Carolyn said. “How far is it?” I asked. She replied:” About three minutes and I’ll drive you there.”
After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her _______. “ I thought you said three minutes.” She smiled. “ This is a detour (绕行路线).” Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out.

From the top of the mountain to the folds and valleys ______ several acres of daffodils (水仙花) rich in a variety of colors. It looked as if God had painted something gorgeous in front of us. Many questions ______ my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How? As we approached the home that stood in the centre of the property, we saw a ______ that read: “ Answers to the Questions I know you are asking.” The first answer was: “One Woman-Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The second was: “ One at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”
As we drove home, I was so ______ by what we had seen. I could ______speak. “She changed the world.” I finally said, “one bulb (水仙球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, and she _____at it.
The ______ of it would not let me go. I said:” Imagine if I’d had a ______ and worked on it, just a little bit every day, what might I have _______? Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “______ tomorrow,” she said. “Better yet, start today.”

If you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night， you know it's difficult to stay awake in class today． Your teacher's voice might begin to sound like a lullaby（催眠曲）．1.To keep yourself awake， some tips are worth trying in class．
Sit in the front of the room． Why？2.Besides， it'll be easier to pay attention and participate when you're in the front． You'll also be near the people who are more likely to participate， and the sound of their voices might keep you awake．
3.Ask and answer questions and pay attention to the lecture． This will help if you're tired or discouraged by the content of the lecture， because you can ask your teacher questions to get to the bottom of the problems． Talking will also keep you engaged and alert． It might be helpful to make a goal for yourself to answer or ask at least 3questions per class．4.For example， you might say "I didn't understand the last part of the proof． Could you explain it again in more detail？"
Listen actively to the lesson． Active listening is a great way to force yourself to stay awake because it requires engagement of your mind as well as your body．5.To effectively listen to your teacher， you should try to maintain eye contact， face the speaker， pay close attention to what the speaker is saying and ask questions during a pause in the lecture．
A． Participate in class activities．
B． Develop interest in the subject．
C． If so， classrooms can be boring because you're tired．
D． Keep silent all the time and try to catch as much information as possible．
E． To avoid annoying your teacher you should try to keep your questions on topic．
F． You'll be more motivated to stay awake if you know that the teacher can see you easily．
G． Practicing active listening can help you keep your eyes open for the length of the lesson．
Maths and Music An excellent way to kill a conversation is to say you are a mathematician． Tell others you are also a musician， however， and they will be hooked． Although there are obvious similarities between mathematical and musical activity， there is no direct evidence for the kind of magical connection many people seem to believe in．
I'm partly referring here to the "Mozart effect"， where children who have been playing Mozart compositions are supposedly more intelligent， including at maths， than other children． It is not hard to see why such a theory would be popular： we would all like to become better at maths without putting in any effort． But the conclusions of the experiment that expressed the belief in the Mozart effect were much more modest． If you want your brain to work better， you clearly have to put in hard work． As for learning to play the piano， it also takes effort．
Surely a connection is quite reasonable． Both maths and music deal with abstract structures， so if you become good at one， then it is likely that you become good at something more general that helps you with the other． If this is correct， it would show a connection between mathematical and musical ability． It would be more like the connection between abilities at football and tennis． To become better at one， you need to improve your fitness and coordination （协调）． That makes you better at sport and probably helps with the other．
Abstract structures don't exist only in maths and music． If you learn a language then you need to understand its abstract structures like grammar． Yet we don't hear people asking about a connection between mathematical and linguistic （语言的） ability． Maybe this is because grammar feels mathematical， so it wouldn't be surprising that mathematicians were better at learning grammar． Music， however， is strongly tied up with feelings and can be enjoyed even by people who know little about it． As such， it seems different from maths， so there wouldn't be any connection between the two．
Let's see how we solve problems of the "A is to B as C is to D" kind． These appear in intelligence tests but they are also important to both music and maths． Consider the opening of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik （小夜曲）． The second phrase （小节） is a clear answer to the first． The listener thinks： "The first phrase goes upward and uses the notes of a G major chord （和弦）； what would be the corresponding phrase that goes downward and uses the notes of a D7？" Music is full of puzzles like this． If you are good at them， expectations will constantly be set up in your mind． The best moments surprise you by being unexpected， but we need the expectations in the first place．
