　　The post office has plenty of work to do．It handles(处理)thousands of letters every day．Let’s follow a letter all the way across America．

　　Julie lives in New York．She wrote a letter to Dave．Dave lives in Oregon．Julie put the letter in the mailbox(邮箱)on Monday night．On Tuesday morning a truck stopped at the mailbox．The mail carrier(投递员)put the letters into a large bag and took the bag to a post office in New York．

　　On Tuesday afternoon the letters were sorted．Zip codes were used to sort the mail．A machine picked up a letter and held it．A worker read the zip code．Then the worker pushed five buttons on another machine．The worker had only one second to do this．After the worker pushed the buttons, the machine put the letter in a box．By Tuesday night the box was on a truck．The truck went to the airport．An airplane took off for Oregon on Wednesday morning．Julie’s letter went on the airplane．

　　By noon the letters were in an airport in Oregon．Mail trucks then took them to post offices．One of these was in Dave’s town．On Wednesday night people in Dave’s town sorted the letters by street name．

　　On Thursday morning the mail carrier for Main Street picked up her pile of letters．She sorted all of them by street address before delivering(递送)．The people at 1 Main Street got their mail first．Dave lived at 221 Main Street．He got his letter before lunch．

　　How to say hello in Japanese depends on when you say it．This is very much like different greetings used in English at different times of the day or night．In Japanese culture, it also depends on whether you are on the phone or meeting somebody or whether you are close to the person you are greeting．We seldom greet them with “good morning” or “Good evening”．A “Hi” is enough．

　　Although the most popular and most well-known translation for “Hello” is still “Konnichiwa”, it is not exactly how to say hello in Japanese．Perhaps it is not the most suitable work for it．Actually, the correct greeting in English for “Konnichiwa” is “Good day” or “Good noon”, and I am sure you wouldn't like greeting people with a “Good day” at any time, and neither do Japanese like saying “Konnichiwa” when they want to say “Hello”．

　　So what to do? Let's do it the way the Japanese do．Use “Ohaiyo Gonzaimasu” for “Good morning”, “Konnichiwa” when it's noon and “Konbanwa” to greet somebody in the afternoon．Things differ when you are on the phone．Just say “Moshi, Moshi”, which is actually similar to saying “Hello” over the phone, because one hardly ever uses “Good morning” or “Good afternoon or “Good evening” right after picking up the phone．It is invariably the sweet old “Hello”．

　　Next time, I'll tell something about my life in Japan．

Last Sunday the Whites went to the park．They got home very late．Father opened the front door．and went into the house．It was very dark, so Mother turned on the light．On the way to their bedroom, Mother said,“Listen, John!I can hear someone in the bedroom．”They all stood quietly outside the bedroom．They could hear some voices in the room．”You are right,” Father said,”there are two men in it．They are talking．“Then he shouted,”Who is there?“But no one answered．Father opened the door quickly and turned on the light．The room was empty．Then father found something and laughed．：The radio is still on!I forgot to turn it off this morning．”Father said．
