Dear Sir,
Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare.Your company, Cosmo books Ltd , offered this set ( eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at a “remarkable” price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time, and these books looked particularly attractive, so I sent for them.
Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered.So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare.Two more weeks passed.Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French.Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all.However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you right away instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.
You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German.Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have.The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.
Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment.Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.
Yours faithfully,
SIMON WALKER

Spring is here and so is the cycling season. Here are some tips on how to do it safely and comfortably.
Watch your feet—Pushing with the wrong part of the foot can raise your risk of developing a painful injury of the heel and arch(脚心), says Rob Werstine, a sports physiotherapist(理疗师)and board member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. You should push with the ball of your foot, he says.
Layer up—While it’s still cool, wear layers of clothing, with clothing close to the body that breathes and outer layers that do not absorb water. Go for bright colors that increase your visibility(可见度).
Be reasonable—If you are just starting out and aren’t in good shape, don’t sign up for a 50-kilometre ride. And while cycling is great exercise for people who want to get into shape, if your doctor advises you not to do tiring exercise, cycling shouldn't be your starting position, Werstine says. Walk to begin getting into shape and then graduate to cycling.
Fix the fit—If you develop lower back pain or numbness in your hands and fingers from cycling, it could be your bike isn’t adjusted properly for your height. A good cycle shop can help you find the right height for the seat and handlebars, but if you have continuing problems, consider consulting a bike fit physiotherapist, Werstine says.
Be mindful—You have to pay attention on the roads to vehicles, other cyclists and pedestrians(行人).Consider taking a cycling safety course to practise your skills. Or do some reading about how to avoid dangerous cycling situations. bicyclesafe.com, for instance, lists 10 types of car-bike accidents and how to avoid them.
【小题1】Which part of the foot should one use when cycling?
A.The heel. | B.The arch. | C.The ball. | D.The toes. |
A.not everyone can exercise by cycling | B.walking is better than cycling |
C.cycling is popular with people | D.cycling is helpful to everyone |
A.a. c | B.c. d | C.a. b | D.b. d |

Walking for the Heart Disease
Walking is one of the most important steps for the recovery of heart disease. Time and speed are two vital aspects of walking for people with heart disease. One must walk for at least thirty five minutes per day. 1. The following understanding will help them to walk.

Walking is a must for a heart patient. 2. First, it reduces weight, controls sugar, and reduces stress. It also gives the joints (关节) enough movement, fresh air – if you walk in the morning. Regular walks help in the control of blood pressure. But the most important advantage is that it gives fitness to the heart.
3.
Start walking slowly. Gradually increase the speed. Feel when the angina (心绞痛) is about to come. Stop, the feeling will go away. Walk again, but now the speed will be slower than the last time. Keep walking now and the angina will not come. This is the correct speed.

However, do not walk more than ten minutes a time.
Dos and don’ts on physical activity:
Heart patients must also know that they can do most of the activities where the heart rate does not go up. Sitting in an office, talking over the phone, discussing, driving car are some of the activities which do not increase the heart’s speed. 5. As a matter of fact, stresses can also lead to other illnesses.
A. It has a great number of advantages.
B. Walking plays a very important role in helping a heart patient recover.
C. How to roughly judge the proper walking speed?
