Dear Alice,
I just received your letter. And I was very surprised to know that you decided to drop out of school and wanted to be a model （模特）.
Being a model for a living is not easy. In fact, a famous person like me has a lot of problems that you couldn’t see. I can’t eat what I like, even though I’m very hungry. Keeping thin makes me look more beautiful on the stage because no one would like to see a heavy model.
Besides, I have to wear a heavy coat in the hot sun, in a swimming suit in the cold air. And practicing walking nicely every day is tiring for me.
You might say I made much money from modeling. But my dear niece （侄女）, you have to know that money is, nothing, knowledge is everything. School is important and everyone should go to school for a certain period of time. The longer they stay at school, the better they will be. Very often, I hope I can give up my job and continue my studies at school. But it is very difficult for me to go back to school again. I am too old to go back to school now.
You are a pretty young girl with a bright future. You only have one year to finish your studies in high school. A year is really short. Please do consider my words carefully before you decide. Of course, there is only one thing I care about, and that is your happiness.
Love,
EmmaWhat was Emma surprised about?

阅读短文，判断下列句子是否符合短文内容，符合的写（T），不符合的写（F）。
In Beijing, it's certainly popular to talk about living a low-carbon（低碳的）life. However, it's more easily said than done. But the Chinese capital city is ready to lead the way to a low-carbon city.
Xizhimen Station is one of the busiest subway stations in Beijing, because three lines meet at this point and many people need to get off if they want to change to another line. But passengens have to walk a long way if they want to move from one to anther.
A person said, “ it's difficult to change lines here. You need walk five to ten minutes.” Another said, “We would like to use this greener way of transportation, but it's just not convenient.”
And this is just one small part of the problem for the Beijing government（政府）, if it wants to be a truly low-carbon city. Building a low-carbon city isn't an easy task and it will take a long time. I believe that once the plan is complete, more policies（政策） will come out to support（支持）this project. The government has made its plans for a low-carbon city known to the public in March. But people will see changes in several years.Beijing will lead the way to a low-carbon city.
If pelple want to change lines at Xizhimen Station, they have to walk at least ten minutes.
Taking the subway is more helpful to the environment.
Transportation is the only problem for Beijing to become a low-carbon city.
Pelple live in Beijing have learned the groernment's plans for a low-carbon city.
