Dear Malia and Sasha,

　　I know that you've both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn't have let you have．But I also know that it hasn't always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn't make up for all the time we've been apart．I know how much I've missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey．

　　When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me－about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want．But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day．And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn't seem so important anymore．I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours．And I realized that my own life wouldn't count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours．In the end, girls, that's why I ran for President：because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation．

　　I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential－schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them．I want them to have the chance to go to college－even if their parents aren't rich．And I want them to get good jobs：jobs that pay well and give them benefits like health care, jobs that let them spend time with their own kids and retire with dignity．

　　I want us to push the boundaries of discovery so that you'll live to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our planet cleaner and safer．And I want us to push our own human boundaries to reach beyond the divides of race and region, gender and religion that keep us from seeing the best in each other．

　　Sometimes we have to send our young men and women into war and other dangerous situations to protect our country－but when we do, I want to make sure that it is only for a very good reason, that we try our best to settle our differences with others peacefully, and that we do everything possible to keep our servicemen and women safe．And I want every child to understand that the blessings these brave Americans fight for are not free－that with the great privilege of being a citizen of this nation comes great responsibility．

　　That was the lesson your grandmother tried to teach me when I was your age, reading me the opening lines of the Declaration of Independence and telling me about the men and women who marched for equality because they believed those words put to paper two centuries ago should mean something．

　　She helped me understand that America is great not because it is perfect but because it can always be made better－and that the unfinished work of perfecting our union falls to each of us．It's a charge we pass on to our children, coming closer with each new generation to what we know America should be．

　　I hope both of you will take up that work, righting the wrongs that you see and working to give others the chances you've had．Not just because you have an obligation to give something back to this country that has given our family so much－although you do have that obligation．But because you have an obligation to yourself．Because it is only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you will realize your true potential．

　　These are the things I want for you－to grow up in a world with no limits on your dreams and no achievements beyond your reach, and to grow into compassionate, committed women who will help build that world．And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and thrive that you girls have．That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure．

　　I am so proud of both of you．I love you more than you can ever know．And I am grateful every day for your patience, poise, grace, and humor as we prepare to start our new life together in the White House．

Love, Dad

阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。

首先，请阅读下列为读者来信所写的建议：

A

It seems your friend works extremely hard but doesn't always achieve what she wants．I think she needs to ease the pressure on herself a bit and have some fun．How about suggesting that you both go for a picnic together? Have an outing together so that she is away from her studies．She may open out a bit then．

B

Discuss this with your parents before you decide anything；they've invested time and money in giving you the best education，and they might want you to continue．Discuss the choices with your school and university，and they might be able to help you out．I assume you will have a few months before you start university．Maybe you can take that time to work and help your parents, and maybe keep a part time job while you attend university．

C

It is time to confront your mother．It is not her future to decide，but it is yours．If it is a money issue，then you can wait a little longer．If not，then just confront her．Do not be afraid．My suggestion to you is，“Never give up your dream”，aim for what you want，and don't let a simple“no”stop you from what you love．

D

Confidence comes from within．This often leads to your becoming more confident naturally．Make a plan in your head，try and smile at one complete stranger every day．Build up to making small talk to one person a day if you can．Once you realize that you can do it，then it will only get easier. Join out-of-school activities that you are interested in and you may find lots of people in the same situation as yourself. I wish you luck!

E

Is it so important to get your exams? Could you find something that really suits you with an understanding company or employer that will help you gain experience and work up the ladder from a practical point of view rather than an academic result．I sometimes think that work experience is more important．You may have to come a bit closer to home and start from there to avoid the upset and ignorance of ot hers．Hope this helps．

F

You need to believe in your own powers．I guess one way you can learn to do that is to set challenges for yourself，and then work to meet them，one by one．Gradually，you won't be able to deny to yourself that you can get things done．And that will improve your confidence，and will also help you see what you can't do．Start small，and never give in．You should see results in some time．I wish you the best.

56．I have had learning difficulties all my life and life is impossible．I fail at everything I do and I'm left behind，like years behind．For people with no learning difficulties，life is always easier but that's not me．What people with learning difficulties are left by years while those don't move up the ladder quicker? The people like me are just left labeled a stupid guy，life passes by for me and people without learning difficulties go ahead without failing exams and life is great for them．People like me have to wait another year to repeated exams or maybe two while peers go on．

57．I'm from Europe and it's been a long time that I'm thinking of spending 6 months in the USA．in a High School．It's my dream．I asked my mom but she doesn't want me to go there．She didn't say why! I've spoken with people who went to study in the US and they told me that when I come back I'll be different．We don't have a lot of interesting courses like Americans．The cost is 5,300 Euros．I don't know how to say to my mom that I want to go there and that's my dream，and it'll be great for my future… Could you help me?

58．I have a friend．We studied at the same school．Before she did the Entrance Examination，she had hoped to study in the department of Dentistry(牙医)．She concentrated on her books．She read the books and did the exercise too much．After we did the Entrance Examination，she told me her scores were not enough．It meant she couldn't study in the department that she had hoped．I still encourage her．She told me she was all right，but I think she was sad．I want to help her feel better．What should I do?

59．I have serious confidence issues，and today I went to my first day of a new school．Unfortunately I have been at the same school previously my whole life．Yeah I have mates outside of school and that，but that one day has just changed everything about how I feel．I thought in my previous school I could make a difference in the world，but now I'm just lost，confused and I know no one．I'm not very sociable either，and just not comfortable with the environment．How can I be more sociable? Confident? Everything? HELP!!

60．I am writing to you to seek advice．My name is Nawel．I'll sit for my BAC exam soon．I'll certainly succeed，but my parents are old and are in need of financial help. I'd really like to help them．However，if I do，I'll have to give up my dream of becoming a doctor．On one hand, if I decided to help，I'll have to give up my registration at University．On the other hand，if I don't，I'll feel guilty of not helping my family．I have no one to turn to．What should I do?
