短文改错Dear John,

I am extremely sorry to tell you that I am unable to go to your party on this Sunday. It is very kind for you to invite me to your house and I really look forward to going to your party and share

your happy experience abroad. Many to my regret, I will be absent from your party owing to the fact that the College Entrance Exam is just around corner, for which I am now really busy preparing.

What’s more, I have caught a bad cold lately and I was really not myself.

Anyway, we will have many more chances to get together. Shall we make it after the Exam?

I am true sorry. I hope you will forgive me and receive my sincere apologies. I look forward to your reply.

                                                                                                          Yours truly,

                                                                                                            Li Hua

Choose friends who make you feel happy!

Not long ago, I opened an e-mail from Jennifer, a lady I knew through business in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, “I have been seeing how I feel after interacting with different people and thinking who I feel good about, 　71 ”

Then she invited me and eleven other women to a “Movie Night” to be held every six weeks at her house. She promised we were sure to enjoy a good time. 　72 She made it clear in her invitation that there was no pressure to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful! 　73 I gratefully accepted her kind invitation.

74 Although all the women were eager to participate, some said they didn’t see themselves as optimistic people. “I told them they didn’t have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them because they made me feel happy,” she says.

75 In a US study, researchers measured the happiness of 4739 people at regular interval over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people they connect with. Amazingly it also found that a person’s happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends!

　　　 A．She is one of my good friends.

　　　 B．Research shows such gatherings make sense.

　　　 C．Later she had some puzzled reactions to her invitation.

　　　 D．And you are on my list.

　　　 E．We would chat, eat and watch feel-good movies.

　　　 F．I e-mailed her back immediately.

　　　 G．She was not satisfied with the women.

Half of the world’s population is affected by Asian monsoons（季风）, but monsoons are difficult to predict. American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.

Every year, moist （潮湿的）air masses，known as monsoon，produce large amounts of rainfall in India, East Asia, Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.

According to Edward Cook , a weather expert at Columbia University in New York., the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia, looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings, or circles, inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.

Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.

Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry weather. “If the monsoon basically fails or is a very weak one, the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.” With all this information, researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.

“There has been widespread famine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding.” said Eugene Wahl, a scientist with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So, to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.”
