In a cold winter, a couple had to move out of their big house because of bankruptcy(破产). The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, "he doesn't love me anymore, he just thinks about his work".
One day, she wanted to take a shower, but her husband stopped her at the door, "Let me take it first, OK?" "Why not let me first," she asked. "I was tired, you take it later, OK?" She was very sad.
On a rainy day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer. After a few minutes, her eyes were full of tears...it was his diary:
“Today, I was quite sad, she asked me why I was always taking the shower first, and I said I was tired. She was unhappy. I wasn't as rich as before! We moved to the small house and it was very cold. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer. So every time I rushed to the bathroom first. When she took the shower, the room would get warmer, at least 1℃ or 2℃.Now I can't give her comfortable life or buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃love.”The couple moved out of their house .

Hello Sandy,
We have just returned form our holiday. We went with our friends，Edward Smith and his wife Tina, to the Yorkshire Moors. It is a beautiful natural park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills，miles of grassland with no people，just sheep and birds.
Edward had just come out of hospital and he could not walk as far as before. However, this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then stopped at a restaurant for lunch each day before returning to the place we lived in. Edward and I slept in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for another walk. Very pleasant!
I took lots of photos from the place we lived in, across the valley (山谷）below us, of the morning sunrise, and the mist(迷雾）in the valley. Also, in England, the old steam-powered trains are very popular. I took many photos of the train.
Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It is very early. We usually have snow in January. It rained all day, then snowed in the evening .Today we have bright sunshine! Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I told you, in the last e-mail , that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice, and she is enjoying the work.
Please write to us to tell us your news.
Yours,VictorWhat can they see on the tops of the hills?
| A．Sheep and birds | B．Snow. | C．Many people. | D．Forests. |
Why couldn’t Edward walk very far?
| A．Because he didn’t like walking. | B．Because he was in hospital. |
| C．Because he was weak then. | D．Because his wife didn’t go. |
What’s the season now?
| A．Spring | B．Winter | C．Summer | D．Autumn |
