Dear Erik,
Surprise! I believe you didn’t expect a note from your mom in your lunchbox! How is your school day so far? I hope it is going well. You always do your best. I am proud of you!
Because I had to leave so early this morning, I wrote this note last night and put it into your lunchbox to wish you well on your speech today. With all of your amazing research, writing, and practice, you are going to do great!
I know that you get a little nervous talking in front of large groups—everybody does. But, just remember what you practiced and you just might forget about being nervous.
Here are just a few things to remember when you are giving a speech:
1.Make eye contact（眼神交流）with your classmates.
2.Speak clearly and slowly.
3.Look at your notecards only when you have to.
4.Enjoy yourself! Once you are in front of the class, pretend（假装）that you are a famous expert on your topic and everyone is listening carefully to your EVERY word. （I do that sometimes!)
Well, that’s all for now. I am thinking of you today and I know you will do great. Do your best and be brave like George Washington. He was an excellent choice for your speech.
Good luck Erik!
Maybe we can go out for ice cream after school!
Love,
Mom

Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki’s bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.
The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki’s bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispered in a soft voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” After minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recording of his boss. His boss shouts, “Wake up at once , or you’ll be late !”
If you don’t get up after the second recording, a mechanical “foot” in the bed will kick you in the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You’re still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed awake!

I have had thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But only one 36 was the most important.
It happened last term just after I had got a 37 result in an exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided to go to a class which can tell me how to be 38 .
The speaker walked into the room. But he did not start talking 39 a teacher. Instead, he held up a twenty yuan note(钞票) !
“Who wants this?” he asked. Unsurprisingly, 40 of us in the class held up our hands.
The speaker smiled. Then he put up the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we all put up our hands. The speaker smiled again, but 41 nothing. Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same 42 a third time.
I didn’t 43 what the speaker was doing. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I didn't know what to do. I wanted the note, 44 I put my hand up again. After a while, he 45 the note and started to laugh. “You have all just told me how to become successful,” 46 said to us with the note in his hand.
“The note is worth twenty yuan. It is 47 worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter 48 happens to you, you still have your worth.”
When I heard those words, I was deeply moved. Suddenly, I 49 I was worth a lot. I may have done badly in an exam, but it doesn't 50 I can’ t do well in the future. If I believe in myself, I will be successful!
