Well, Mac and I are going skating and he is waiting for 25       , so I guess I’d better say goodbye now. Write as soon as you can.

Since every coin has two sides, living in large modern cities offers us many advantages, meanwhile, causes many troubles. Better education and better jobs are easy to get, and better medical care is convenient to receive in large modern cities.
People are usually well informed due to the advanced media, such as television, newspaper and net PC. Large modern cities also provide various night-life activities for the city-dwellers(城市居民). The public places like cinema, bar, disco-ball are everywhere.
On the other hand, large modern cities are too big to control, so the traffic jams and traffic accidents often happen, and the social security is a headache problem. And city-dwellers have to face the housing problem. Usually a house is too expensive for the salary earning class to buy and the rent is also high. Moreover, noise and pollution in large cities bring harm to people’s health.

Tony, a robot made by Larry Belmond’s company, was expected to do house work. And it was tested out by Larry’s wife, Claire, when he was    16    (absence) for three weeks. The handsome and smooth-haired Tony left Claire     17    (alarm) at first sight of Tony because he was too handsome for a machine. When Tony offered to help her dress, Claire felt embarrassed.
But when Tony’s sympathy won her trust Claire told Tony how she and her home weren’t elegant(优雅的，极好的) and how she envied Gladys Claffern, one of the richest and most powerful women around. As Tony made effort to help Claire get herself and her home       18       (improve), Claire began to feel her earlier attitude  19      Tony really absurd(荒唐可笑的，荒唐的，不合理的).
Then one day, Claire got protected from a rude salesman by ringing   20       Tony and asking the man to speak to Tony but found her “affair” with Tony discovered as she turned     21         to see Gladys Claffern standing nearby. But then Claire,  22          (advise) by Tony, arranged a party to invite Gladys and her friends to the house when it was           23         (complete) transformed.

The holiday’s upon us. After months of study, you have some time to yourself. So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, ‘Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and 16        media that offer a lot more 17       (colour) programs. Books are history!”
But don’t be fooled. There’s still a lot to be said for reading and reading as widely as possible.
One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection 18       words and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article 19        it is from the TV or the Internet.
But an even more important point is 20        books give you something that modern media simply can not: The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.
Though “easy” may be welcome, 21       (luck) it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品) for a book.
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply 22       (choose) what you read and doing it by yourself 23        (mean) that it’s something you do by and for yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It’s hard work, 24        while you are reading, you’ll find that what once 25        (seem) like a duty is now a pleasure.

Goal setting is simply having a clear plan of where you want to be in the future. In order to set goals, you must first know where you want to be in the future, or you must have some kind of a dream, something that you really want.
How to set a goal needs a lot of thought about what you really want to do in your life. Take some time by asking yourself about the reason behind your goal. If you are struggling to find direction, then learn to set goals.
Set goals that you can achieve. Divide them into simple tasks that you can achieve every day, every month, every year. Set your goals for success. Often people fail to achieve their dreams, not for lack of hard work and motivation, but simply because they failed to define（界定）their dreams and goals in a way that allowed them to effectively move toward their goals.
Here are some other important points to consider when setting a goal. The goal should be clear enough so that we know exactly what we are struggling for and when the goal has been reached. It should be realistic, that is to say, it is practical and can be achieved. Moreover, it should have necessary resources and a deadline for completion.
Goal setting helps us get organized, make big decisions and realize our dreams. Goals will take you to places you’ve only dreamed of. They’ll help you achieve your life’s dreams. They will give you confidence. And most of all, they’ll motivate you to keep on trying. So just like any other tool, you must know how to properly use goal setting so that you’ll be successful in achieving your dreams.

The presence of large quantities of water would make that plan more   31   (practice), since water could be used for drinking, breathing and even making rocket fuel.   31 , a resource-rich moon could also serve as the perfect low-gravity launch-pad (发射台) for missions that would carry astronauts and   31   families elsewhere in the solar system,   31  (realize) the dreams of generations of science-fiction writers.

Every person has a great deal of love to give.     Here is a general guide to loving.
Say it. When you say the words “I Love You”, make sure you really mean it, and are willing to do anything for that special person.
    If you love someone, you should understand how they feel, where they come from, and who they are. Realize how they could also love you back just as well.
Love unconditionally. Giving unconditional love requires you to love without any expectations.    It seems difficult to only love and not demand anything in return in today’s world where everyone is selfish. But even in this world we see many examples of unconditional love, for example the love a mother gives to her child and the love between two life partners. To love unconditionally, you will have to learn to sacrifice(牺牲) yourself and your desires and also realize that someone may have a different way of showing his or her love for you.     
Realize it can be lost. If you realize that you can lose the one you love, then you have a greater appreciation of what you have.    Don’t make an idol of the person you love. This will place them under unnecessary pressure and will likely result in you losing them.
Never stop loving. Even if you have been hurt before, you should not stop giving love.

A．Try loving just for the sake of love.

B．Put yourself in someone else’s shoes.

C．There are many different ways to explain love.

D．Think how lucky you are to have someone to love.

E. Do not expect to be loved back in exactly the same way.
F. It does not make you a bad person to desire someone else’s love.
G. There are many different ways to love someone (or even yourself).

Bicycles are very popular around the world today. People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment. In some places, people use a bicycle to get to work. In other places, bicycle riding is a very popular exercise to people who live in cities. But who invented the first bicycle?
In 1791, a Frenchman named Comte de Siverac invented and owned the first bicycle. Mrs. Sivrac rode the bicycle in Paris. The handles(把手) and the seat were wooden. This bicycle was very difficult to move. A rider even had to pick up the front wheel to change direction. Finally, the bicycle had no brakes for stopping or pedals for the feet! Riding a bicycle was a great risk!
In 1817, a German named Baron von Draus de Sauerbrun made the first bicycle better. The seat became more comfortable. The wheel could now change direction. His ride in the forest took only one hour instead of three hours on foot, which surprised people at that time.
Sauerbrun brought this kind of bicycle from Germany to France. Then Denis Johnson, an Englishman, made a bicycle for women. It had spaces for their dresses to hang down. But these bicycles still had no brakes or pedals, and riders often got hurt. These bicycles and the people who rode them were not very popular.
It took another forty-five years for the bicycle to become popular. More than 100 years later, bicycle riding is more popular than ever. In fact, in India and China, there are still many more bicycles than cars.

Should doctors ever lie to benefit their patients to speed recovery or to cover the coming of death? In medicine as in law, government, and other lines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater needs; the need to protect patients from brutal news, to uphold a promise of secrecy or to advance the public interest.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup just before going on vacation with his family who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer that will cause him to die within six months? Is it best to tell him the truth? If he asks, should doctors reject that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Should they at least hide the truth until after the family vacation?
Doctors face such choices often. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patients’ own sake; in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill patients do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them of risks destroys their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide.
But other studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, a great majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about serious illness, and feel cheated when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness; help them tolerate pain better with less medicine, and even recover faster after surgery.
There is an urgent need to debate this issue openly. Not only in medicine, but in other professions as well, practitioners may find themselves repeatedly in difficulty where serious consequences seem avoidable only through deception. Yet the public has every reason to know the professional deception, for such practices are peculiarly likely to become deeply rooted, to spread, and to trust. Neither in medicine, nor in law, government, or the social sciences can there be comfort in the old saying, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you.”
