　　    Millions of years ago, whales lived 1 and walked on 2 . Today whales 3 have small bones, 4 can only be seen on the inside of them. No one knows 5 whales left the land to live in the water. 6 , scientists can imagine when the whales changed their 7 conditions, their bodies underwent (经历) a change—showing a 8 fish-like appearance. This new 9 offered less resistance (抵抗) to the water. And the whales could 10 faster.

　　     Whales are not fish. 11 will die, just as a man will, if it stays under water too long. When a whale is under water it closes its 12 and holds its breath. The air in its lungs becomes very hot and its lungs are 13 water vapor. when a whale rises 14 and breathes, its hot breath produces a fountain (喷泉) of water that rises high in the air. A man produces 15 effect when he breathes warm air on a cold morning.

Dear Jones,

　　    You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following "dos" and "don'ts" helpful.

　　     As a 1 , it isn't easy to find anyone to 2 in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. 3 , get or borrow 4 ! Walk him several times a day!　　 Americans love dogs and usually stop 5 to anyone with dog. 6 ,try to eat in a cafeteria (自助餐厅) .

　　     People generally 7 the same tables and will sometimes talk to you 8 they see that you are a 9 .

　　     Next, take your dirty 10 to a laundry (洗衣店) ! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people 11 there. They often pass the 12 talking to the other customers (顾客) . 13 ask for information from a woman, if you are a 14 , and from a man, if you are a woman. It seems to get 15 results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the 16 　　 :"Please", "Thank you ", and "You're welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic (魔术) .　　 　　

　　     There are some things you 17 . Don't tell the truth when people 18 "How are you ?" They only 19 the answer to be "Fine". Never ask people their 20 —especially women! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are 21 . Tell them they are losing 22 . Everyone　　 here wants to be 23 . Don't be late for appointments (约会) ! When someone says six o'clock, 24 be there by six. Americans respect 25 and expect everyone to be "on time".　　 　　

　　     Above all, don't worry! Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money, you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.

Cordially yours,

Socrates
