Han Meimei did gymnastics all day ﹣﹣anytime， anywhere． This made her family angry． "Han Meimei， enough!" said her family．
"I've got to go to a gym!" said Han Meimei．
"Too much money!" cried her parents．
"Then I'll earn it myself，" said Han Meimei．
She tried hard， but she didn't earn money because she often practiced gymnastics when working．
"Han Meimei， enough!" cried the neighbors．
She walked toward the gym． She seated herself with others． A group of girls no older than Han Meimei tumbled（做空翻动作） on the floor． And about 15 beginners balanced on the beam（平衡木）．
Then she saw the sign：
"Wanted： Gymnastics students to be Children Class teacher assistant． Talk at the front desk．"
"I'd like to be the children Class teacher assistant，" she said．
"I see，" said the woman at the desk， "How old are you？"
"14，" said Han Meimei．
Can you do gymnastics？" asked the woman．
Han Meimei tumbled on the floor then and there．
"It appears you are excellent，" said the woman． "I think you may be just what we're looking for．" Han Meimei smiled．
"There is one thing，" said the woman． "I'm afraid we don't pay in money． We pay with free classes． Would you still be interested？"
Han Meiemei jumped so high that there was no doubt about her answer．
She spent every afternoon at the gym， teaching and practicing． After that， the only place she heard anyone say "Han Meimei， enough!" was at the gym ﹣at closing time．

Dear Liz,
My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life．
Life is busy and exciting．Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic．I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city．There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma．
I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda．The school teaches about 70 percent in English，and 30 percent in Thai. I've learned some spoken language，but Thai writing is very difficult．The cooking lesson is my favourite．I'm learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here，but spoons and forks．When I come back，I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal．
Last weekend we visited some temples．We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok．I thought it was great，but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island，where the beaches are even more beautiful．The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr. Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand．The Phairats own land there，and they have two elephants．I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun．
I'm amazed by everything in this country，especially by the elephants．Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and way of life．They have been a traditional symbol of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace．In the seventh century，a Thai king trained 20，000 elephants for battle．
I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳击)lessons next time I write．
Love,

On February 3rd，1949，New York Harbor was an exciting place．Many people were there to greet a ship from France．On the ship were 49 French railroad boxcars filled with gifts from the people of France to the people of America．These boxcars were from the famous Merci Train (Merci，a French word meaning "thank you")．
After World War Ⅱ，a lot of factories，roads and farms in France had been destroyed．Many French people had no jobs or money and had little to wear and little to eat．In the winter of 1947，a train was sent across the United States，stopping in cities and towns along the way．At every stop，people gave whatever they could．Factories gave clothing and medicine．Farmers gave food．Families gave money．Even school children gave away their pocket money. All the things were then carried to France by ship．
By 1949，the French had begun to recover（恢复） from the war．The Merci Train was their way of saying "thank you" to America．French people had filled the boxcars with gifts．Most of them were personal，like hand-made toys，children's drawings，or postcards．But the boxcars themselves were perhaps the most meaningful of the gifts．On each car，the French people had painted the pictures of all their 40 provinces，with an American eagle on the front．The boxcars were moved to each state of America，where they were warmly greeted．
Now many of the states still keep their boxcars．Gifts sent by the French people can still be seen in some museums．The Merci Train came out of the war，but it now reminds the world that countries can also work together in peace．
