Dear Bob,

Thank you for your email, in which you had told me you would celebrate Easter soon. I am very curious about this holiday and have some question to ask you.

First, how long does Easter last? Is it as important as Christmas in your country? I am also interested in their origin. I guess there should have some stories telling people why it started. Could you share some with me? Beside, I am wondering what people usually do celebrate the holiday. I hope I can learn more from Easter. In your email, you mention that you were going to spend Easter with your family. Could you please send me some pictures if it is possibly?

Thank you very much and have lots of fun at Easter!

Yours,

Li Hua

My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45.He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter , some of his words have lived in my heart.One part always stands out.“Right now ,you are pretending to be a time killer(消磨时间者).But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.” He didn’t know what would be, and neither did I ,but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself , I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask , “Is this what you were talking about , Dad ?

Give your children permission to succeed.They’re waiting for you to believe in them.I always knew my parents loved me.But trust me :That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real , and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts :“Don’t worry ; you’ll do something great.”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

【题目】概要写作

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

With global warming and melting ice, it isn’t easy being a polar bear anymore. Some studies have predicted that polar bears could die out by the end of the century. The good news is not all researchers think the bears are absolutely disappearing. Scientists at the American Museum of Natural History(AMNH) have published a new paper indicating that things might not be as bad for polar bears as some scientists expect.

To understand the reason for the researchers’ cautious optimism, we must first understand the factors that are threatening the polar bear’s existence. Polar bears consume a diet of mainly young seals. In order to hunt these seals, polar bears need to rest at the top of sea ice---the same ice that is increasingly melting for most of the year thanks to climate change. In another 50 years, experts expect that the Arctic will be too warm for sea ice to form for half of the year, leaving polar bears without a reliable food source and in serious danger of starvation.

As it turns out, alternative food sources for the polar bears aren’t completely out of the question. For as long as biologists have tailed after the animals, they’ve seen polar bears eating animals found on land like caribou(驯鹿) and snow geese---as well as the snow geese’s eggs.

Can polar bears actually survive off these alternative food sources for long periods of time? To figure this out, researchers calculated the nutrients that a caribou and snow geese diet would provide. They found that even adult male polar bears would be able to obtain more calories than they would burn in hunting these meals. Moreover, the food would provide the food necessary to avoid starvation during the summer months.

Unfortunately, not all polar bears have tended to seek food on land. That said, the researchers expect that necessity would push more polar bears to hunt on land to avoid starvation. They also expect that the bears could learn from their fellow bears how to hunt on land until the practice becomes second nature.

Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability.

Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes【1】 (little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English.

Secondly, there5 (be) many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English6 (proper).

As far as I am7 (concern), my suggestion is8 we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher9 help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for【10 development of our writing skills.
