Today, for example, I had an interesting experience (经历). At 11 o'clock this morning, I got a call from a man. I don't know who he was. He was in trouble and I could tell that he was worried about something. He gave me address and asked me to send an ambulance (救护车) right away. I asked him if somebody was hurt, but he didn't answer my question. He told me he needed a doctor at once, so I said I'd call an ambulance for him but I still wanted to know what was wrong. Then he said, "Our keys are gone!" I didn't understand that! Why would he need an ambulance just because he couldn't find his keys? Then I found out what the trouble was. The man and his wife left the car keys on a coffee table, and later they couldn't find them. Their little boy Johnny was playing in the room, and they thought he swallowed(吞下) them.

But before I could help him, he told me he wouldn't need an ambulance anymore. His wife found the keys in her bag. They were there all the time.

Jenny mixed up the letters with the replies. Read the three letters and the replies A, B, C, then match each letter with the correct reply.

A.  You should discuss this problem with your parents. Have you talked to your father? Surely he misses you, too. Tell him how you feel, and perhaps he can spend more time with you. You can also ask your mother to make something special when your father isn’t working.

B. You shouldn’t worry so much. If you study hard, you’ll do well. Try to relax, find time to go for walks and eat three healthy meals every day. Don’t drink coffee or tea because you won’t be able to sleep. You should drink a glass of hot milk before you go to bed and think in a positive（积极的）way. Good luck.

C. Can you afford it? Can you pay for the huge bills（帐单）to run the mobile phone? Maybe you should save your pocket money. Anyway, you are still at school and you should concentrate on your study. Why not give up this idea?
