Dear Ram,
Thank you for your concern about the construction of Hainan International Tourism Island.
On hearing the excited news, I almost jumped with joy. There is no doubt that they will have a great effect on the development of Hainan, especially Hainan’s tourism.Which we all know, Hainan Island is so beautiful that more and more people at home and abroad were attracted to enjoy its wonderful scenery.
Instead, more jobs will be offered to local people and they will lead a more better life. The government will also focus on the construction of transport, making it conveniently for people to travel around. The environmental protections is another concern. I am sure we will make Hainan Island ideal place for tourism. Ram, welcome to our hometown to experiencing our unique scenery and culture.
Best wishes to you!
Yours,

What you give your relatives and friends can help you know yourself better. 1. Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things brought and the people who buy them. 2.
The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they’re saying, “3.” Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment (赞美). On the other hand, a gift of clothing that doesn’t match your personality could be an insult (侮辱) to your character.
4. If you receive a homemade gift, you re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. They’ve given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.
People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. 5. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.
A.I agree with you. I like you the way you are.
B.However, gift giving can be misunderstanding if you are careless.
C.Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality.
D.I don’t like you, especially the way you dress yourself.
E.Here is a guide to who gives what—and why.
F.Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or newly-learnt meaning.
G.Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today.
Consuming food can be a pleasurable thing-we enjoy the mix of tastes and textures (结构) and it stops us feeling hungry too. Of course, food also gives us energy and the vitamins and minerals that our body needs. It’s no wonder we spend so much time preparing and eating food. But what many of us don’t consider is how our emotions are affected by what we put into our bellies.
For me, it’s the unhealthy foods that put a smile on my face-chocolate, cakes and ice cream. It might seem obvious that food that’s bad for our waistline, usually makes us happy, at least in the short term. But dieticians tell us that eating bad food long term, not only makes us put on weight but can lead to other health conditions such as diabetes (糖尿病), and it can also affect our mental state and bring on depression.
The link between our mind and food has been looked at by scientists. They’ve recently found that it’s the bacteria in our gut that affects our mood. It’s thought we have 39 trillion of these simple, small organisms (生物体) in our body. Researchers at McMaster University in Canada have found that certain “good” bacteria help reduce anxiety in mice. Experts believe that, for us humans, this means food with “good” bacteria can improve the way we feel.
Many food products are claiming to be high in this “good” bacteria and some of the best types are homemade food like miso soup, yoghurt and sauerkraut (泡菜). Doctor Michael Mosley would agree. He says the best food to cheer us up is in a “Mediterranean diet”. Olive oil; oily fish, full of omega 3, which is really good for the brain; whole grains; lots of fruits and vegetables. Sugar: terrible for you! There are other factors that can change our mood but it seems we have some ability to improve how we feel by controlling what we put on our plate. Does your diet affect your mood?
1.What helps reduce anxiety in mice?
A.Good bacteria. B.Bad food.
C.Large organisms. D.Health conditions.
2.We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A.we can improve how we feel by controlling food
B.people had better eat less cakes and ice cream
C.Mediterranean diet cheers people up
D.some of the worst food are homemade food like miso soup
3.The best title of the passage may be ________.
A.The Theory of Food B.Change Your Food
C.Food and Mood D.Enjoy Your Food
A friend of mine, in response to a conversation we were having about the injustices of life, asked me the question, “Who said life was going to be fair, or that it was even meant to be fair?” Her question was a good one. It reminded me of something I was taught as a youngster: life isn’t fair. It’s a disappointment, but it’s absolutely true. One of the mistakes many of us make is that we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others, thinking that life should be fair, or that someday it will be. It’s not and it won’t be.
One of the nice things about surrendering (屈从) to the fact that life isn’t fair is that it keeps us from feeling sorry for ourselves by encouraging us to do the very best we can with what we have. We know it’s not “life’s job” to make everything perfect, it’s our own challenge. Surrendering to this fact also keeps us from feeling sorry for others because we are reminded that everyone is dealt in different hand; everyone has unique strengths and problems in the process of growing up, facing the reality and making decisions; and everyone has those times that they feel unfairly treated.
The fact that life isn’t fair doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do everything in our power to improve our own lives or the world as a whole. To the contrary, it suggests that we should. When we don’t recognize or admit that life isn’t fair, we tend to feel pity for others and for ourselves. Pity, of course, is a self-defeating emotion that does nothing for anyone, except to make everyone feel worse than they already do. When we do recognize that life isn’t fair, however, we feel sympathy for others and for ourselves. And sympathy is a heartfelt emotion that delivers loving-kindness to everyone it touches. The next time you find yourself thinking about the injustices of the world, try reminding yourself of this very basic fact. You may be surprised that it can make you out of self-pity and into helpful action.

A.life is meant to be fair B.people feel sorry only for ourselves

C.do everything in their power to improve their lives
