till dinner time. When he opened it, a $1000 note fell out onto the desk. With the note was a short letter:
| Dear sir, I got married forty years ago. Unfortunately, at that time there was a lot of unemployment and I got no job. I was out of work for about six months before I got another one. Of course I was very short of money. I came to your shop to buy a wedding ring one day. The assistant brought some rings for me to have a look, later she was called away for a moment, and then I put one of the rings into my pocket. When she came back, I said I did not know the size of my girlfriend"s finger. So I left the shop with the ring but I did n"t pay for it. My wife died a month ago, and the fact that I never paid for her ring has been on my conscience (让我良心不安) all these years. I always feel guilty about that. At that time the ring cost $100, and I think that is about ten times at today"s price. Now, I am sending you that amount. Yours truly, A customer |

| Dear Malia and Sasha, I know that you"ve both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn"t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn"t always been easy for you and Mom. So now 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 those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn"t seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And 1 realized that my own life wouldn"t mean much if I couldn"t make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ran for (竞选) President: because of what I want for you and for every child in the US. I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college-even though their parents don"t have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs. I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of different colors and areas because we are all equal (平等的). I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you"ve had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are. These are the things I want for you-to grow up in a world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That"s why I"ve taken our family on this great adventure. I am so proud of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am thankful every day because you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House. Love, Dad |

| In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become more and more popular among people of all ages. (3) Bicycles have long played an important part in the liyes of American young people. But today an even greater number of adults cycle along roadsides and bicycle paths. These new riders are often trying to become fit or lose weight. They have found that bicycling is a pleasant way to stay healthy. This is certainly good for health. But it has also brought some problems. With all these added people on the road, bicycle safety has become a matter of real importance. Bicycle safety is mostly a matter of common sense. People should ride only on bicycle paths where they will not be badly hurt. There are also a number of rules that riders should follow, especially when riding on streets or highways. Bicyclists should never ride against the traffic,nor should they carry other people on their bicycles. They are also supposed to ride in single line on busy streets and to walk bicycles across the busy intersections (交叉路口). (4) By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also be safe. In one recent year, the National Safety Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash helmets (头盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (伤者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down. Today, more and more riders realize the dangers of bicycling. They are wearing helmets and paying closer attention to cycling rules. |
