Peter was a carpenter（木匠）of our village．Once I asked him to make a dining table for my wife．He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows．When I arrived home that evening，Peter was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his work．

"I won't decide about that until I see that bill．"I said．
Peter laughed and gave me his bill for the work．It said：

BILL One dining table June 10，2016 Cost of wood 27.00 Paint （油漆） 5.50 Work，8 hours（2 an hour） 16.00 Total （总计） 58.50 |

"Me too．"said Peter，"You wait﹣it'll be a bit hotter by the end of the month．"
"Yes．Hotter﹣and more expensive．Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th，won't they，Peter？"

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it．Mother sat writing letters．Standing by her chair，looking at the ink bottle，pens，and white paper，I decided that the action of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world．
Years later，during her final illness．Mother kept different things for my sister and brother．"But the desk，"she said again，"is for Elizabeth．"
I never saw her angry，and never saw her cry．I knew she loved me； she just did it．But as a young girl，I wanted to have heart﹣to﹣heart talks between mother and daughter．They never happened．And a gulfopened between us．I was"too emotional（易感动的）"．But she lived"on the surface （表面）"．
As years passed，I had my own family．I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family．I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅） me．
My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest and，finally，peace﹣it seemed that nothing happened．I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother．I only knew that I had written it，and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not．
But the present of her desk told me，as she'd never been able to，that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work．I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside﹣a photo of my father and a one﹣page letter，folded and refolded many times．It was my letter．
"In any way you chose，Mother，you always chose the act that speaks louder than words．"

With all those summertime activities you will be thirsty．What to drink？Water．Water has zero calories （卡路里）and is the perfect drink to stop your thirst（口渴）．Try not to drink too many energy drinks，sports drinks and soda drinks which have lots of sugar and caffeine （咖啡因）in them．

lose weight．If you are lucky enough to be near a body of water，try water sports like swimming，surfing，water skiing and so on．These sports keep you cool and active at the same time．You'll have no problem beating the heat and keeping fit as well．Be careful of the sunshine．Summer allows us more chances to get outside，but it also means more possibilities to get burnt by the sunshine．If you are going outside，keep away from the sun when it's the strongest﹣usually between 11a．m．and 3p．m．If you have to stay in the sun for a long time，sun screen （防晒霜），a big hat and a long﹣sleeve jacket will be necessary．
