小明减肥以后，感到身体疲倦、虚弱，不知如何是好，于是他写了一封电子邮件向健康专家求教。请根据下面内容，以小明的名义写一封120字左右的邮件。

原因：觉得自己太胖，体重不断增加，担心形象不美，有同学背后嘲笑他。

过程：1、去健身房，两三次就放弃了，感觉太累也没时间；

2、节食，坚持了大约一个星期，经常饿得不能继续他的学习；

3、悄悄服用减肥药，一开始有效果，体重迅速下降，但减肥药对他产生副作用。

Dear Li Hua,

I'm very worried. In school, I am not popular at all. I don't know why. Perhaps this is because I am too shy. I want to change myself to be open and sunny, but I never accomplish this. I always feel lonely at school. I am sort of thinking I had better leave school. Can you help me? Can you tell me what to do?

Yours,

Jane

Dear Jane,

Thank you for your trust.

Dear editor,

Several days before, my fellow college students and I visited the local Cincinnati Blind and Deaf School. We had a party with some of the disabled students there. We played games together and had a fun. I met a girl at the party. She can’t speak, or can she hear. We “talked ” with each other by making some gestures writing on each other’s hand. Soon we became good friends. When it was time for us to say goodbye , she wrote on my hand, “Please come here as more as possible.” Tears floated down my face. Many people are concerning about disabled people, and give money to them. But these disabled people may want communication with ordinary people too more than money .

Editor, I want to tell people this: “If you know any disabled people, don’t forget to visit them regularly. They need friend.”

Many thanks !

                                    Charles Edwards

“I didn’t get in, but I’m on the waiting list.”

“Well, at least it isn’t   44  ,” he said brightly.

“Yeah, but   45  , I don’t want to be on the waiting list; I want to be   46  . No one gets in off the waiting list. It’s a way of saying ‘Thanks for   47  ’.”

“Then let’s go out there and tell them so.”

“That sounds   48  , dad.” I said sadly, “It doesn’t work.”

Upset and annoyed, I   49   myself in my room. However，my father’s advice kept   50   in my head. I thought about it for a few days, finally coming to the   51   that he was right. And the next day I seated myself across from Mr. Luis Soto, my admissions officer.

“What can I do for you, Nacie?” he asked pleasantly.

“Well, sir, I am here to tell you that I love this school and would love a   52   to be here. I just wanted to tell you how much going here would   53   to me—it is my only dream college— and that I would use my time here to the best   54  . I wanted to let you know that if you gave me a chance and reconsidered my application, you wouldn’t   55   it.” The words had poured out  56  I could stop them or check their desperate tone.

Mr. Soto looked me over for a minute before he smiled broadly.

“OK, that is the kind of thing we love to hear. Congratulations, you’re in.”

It was so   57   and I asked, “I’m sorry?”

“We want people in the class who want to be here, who will   58   the best of this education. I’m glad you came to talk   59   to me. I’m happy to offer you a position in the Class of 2009.”
