Dear Jones,

　　     People generally 7 the same tables and will sometimes talk to you 8 they see that you are a 9 .

　　     Next, take your dirty 10 to a laundry (洗衣店) ! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people 11 there. They often pass the 12 talking to the other customers (顾客) . 13 ask for information from a woman, if you are a 14 , and from a man, if you are a woman. It seems to get 15 results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the 16 　　 :"Please", "Thank you ", and "You're welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic (魔术) .　　 　　

　　     There are some things you 17 . Don't tell the truth when people 18 "How are you ?" They only 19 the answer to be "Fine". Never ask people their 20 —especially women!

First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995．An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat's last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike. ￡ 12.99 Hardback 384pp Fourth Estate
