Dear mom,
I’m writing to you from America. You don’t know how happy I am. I made many new friends here. They are very helpful. Last week I got a fever and had to stay in bed for three days. They helped me a lot with my lessons. Cathy is one of my good friends at school. She has a round face with a pair of glasses. She is two months older than I am, but a little shorter . She works hard and is good at all her lessons. She often helps me with my English. We like talking to each other at lunchtime. After school, we always go home together because we live in the same street.
Sometimes we take a dancing lesson for half an hour before we go home. She dances better than any other student. She wants to be a dancer when she grows up. At the weekends, Cathy usually goes swimming. I sometimes go swimming with her. I think it’s a good way to keep healthy. We always have a good time.
Write soon.
Love

In ancient China, there was a man called Zhou Yong. Before his father died, he left Zhou Yong a great number of gold ingots (元宝). Zhou hid them in a safe place in his home. One day, Zhou decided to travel far away. He was afraid that someone would steal the gold ingots. But they were too heavy for him to bring along with him. So he put all the ingots into a jar (坛子) and gave it to his friend Wang Wu,telling Wang that the jar was full of fresh red dates (红枣).
A year later, one day before Zhou came back, Wang's wife wondered what was in the jar. So she secretly opened it. She was shocked when she saw so many ingots inside. She told Wang about it and they took the ingots out and filled the jar with fresh red dates.
When Wang returned the jar to Zhou, Zhou found the ingots were missing. They argued about it for a while,then they went to see the county magistrate (县官).
When the magistrate asked Wang what had happened, he answered, "Zhou said that there were fresh red dates in it when he gave me the jar a year ago."
The magistrate examined the jar and the fresh red dates in it carefully. Then he said: "Bring the ingots back, Wang Wu!"
