On May 27, 1995, our life was suddenly changed. It happened a few minutes past three, 1 my husband, Chris, fell from his horse as it jumped over a fence. Chris was paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down, unable to breathe normally. As he was thrown from his horse, we entered into a life of 2 with lots of unexpected challenges. We went from the "haves" to the "have-nots". Or so we thought. 3 what we discovered later were all the gifts that came out of sharing difficulties. We came to learn that something wonderful could happen in a disaster (灾难). All over the world people 4 Chris so much that letters and postcards poured in every day. By the end of the third week in a medical center in Virginia, about 35,000 pieces of 5 had been received and sorted. As 6 , we opened letter after letter. They gave us comfort and became a source of strength for us. We used them to 7 ourselves. I would go to the pile of letters marked with "Funny" if we needed a 8 , or to the "Disabled" box to find advice from people in wheelchairs or even in bed living happily and successfully. These letters, we realized, had to be shared. And so here we offer one of them to you. Dear Chris, My husband and I were so sorry to hear of your 9 accident last week. No doubt your family and your friends are giving you the strength to face this 10 challenge. People everywhere are also giving you best wishes every day and we are among those who are keeping you close. Yours Sincerely, Nancy Reagan | ||||

Going to an American friend’s house is very exciting. But you must remember to be polite.
When to arrive If your friend tells you to come “ around 3:00”, that means you can go there a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.
What to bring It’s nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I call his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr or Mrs Smith. You can also call them Madam or Sir.
It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again!
