Dear Rosemary,
I was very glad to get your letter this morning. I really ought to have written to you---it was my turn, I know----but I have been terribly busy. The children seem to take up all my time. I am thinking of sending Ann to a nursery school. She’ll be four next month. Baby has just started to walk and doesn’t give me a moment’s peace. But you know what it is like! How are all your children? I’m sure they love living in the country.
I’m afraid we can’t come over to see you next Sunday, as you suggest. Tom’s mother is coming to spend the day with us. What about the Sunday after that----- the twenty-second? We are free that day and should love to come. We’re longing to see your house.
Let me know, then, if the Sunday after next suits you. May we come for lunch? We’d like to leave fairly early in the evening to avoid the heavy traffic on the roads.
Love from us all,
Edna

Dear Rosemary,

I was very glad to get your letter this morning. I really ought to have written to you---it was my turn, I know----but I have been terribly busy. The children seem to take up all my time. I am thinking of sending Ann to a nursery school. She’ll be four next month. Baby has just started to walk and doesn’t give me a moment’s peace. But you know what it is like! How are all your children? I’m sure they love living in the country.

Let me know, then, if the Sunday after next suits you. May we come for lunch? We’d like to leave fairly early in the evening to avoid the heavy traffic on the roads.

Love from us all,

Edna

  Basketball was his path out of poverty(贫穷).Had he not played the game, he would be Allen Iverson the car repairer, dustman or even drug dealer(毒贩), copying his father’s lifestyle and those of most of his childhood friends.

  But he saw fame and success in a basketball and the 28-year-old has built his kingdom on the courts of NBA.Though he was suffering flu, he scored a season-high 50 points as Philadelphia 76ers beat Atlanta Hawks 98-86 on November 30.He is now the league’s leading scorer with an average of 28.4 points per game.

  Unlike other NBA stars, his success is not due to his size.At 1.83 metres, Iverson is no giant but he isn’t afraid to challenge bigger guys.“I just hit shots, ” he said.“The basket sometimes looks like an ocean.”

  He is known as “the answer” and 76ers’ fans hope he can be the answer to their prayers for an NBA championship.They might be in luck as Iverson has had to find solutions to tough problems ever since he was a child.

  “I used to come home and there would be no lights, no food, only unpaid bills, ” he remembers of his childhood.Never having met his real father, Iverson became man of the house at the age of 12 when his stepfather was arrested.

  But his mother, despite being poor, never gave up hope for her son.“I have never looked up to anyone apart from(除……之外)my mum.She means everything to me, ”he said.“She inspired me and she made me believe I could be somebody and I could do something with my life.”

Choose friends who make you feel happy!

Not long ago, I opened an e-mail from Jennifer, a lady I knew through business in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, “I have been seeing how I feel after interacting with different people and thinking who I feel good about,  71 ”

Then she invited me and eleven other women to a “Movie Night” to be held every six weeks at her house. She promised we were sure to enjoy a good time.  72 She made it clear in her invitation that there was no pressure to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful!  73 I gratefully accepted her kind invitation.

74 Although all the women were eager to participate, some said they didn’t see themselves as optimistic people. “I told them they didn’t have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them because they made me feel happy,” she says.

75 In a US study, researchers measured the happiness of 4739 people at regular interval over 20 years. The study found that a person’s happiness depends on the happiness of people they connect with. Amazingly it also found that a person’s happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also among friends of your friends’ friends!

    A.She is one of my good friends.

    B.Research shows such gatherings make sense.

    C.Later she had some puzzled reactions to her invitation.

    D.And you are on my list.

    E.We would chat, eat and watch feel-good movies.

    F.I e-mailed her back immediately.

    G.She was not satisfied with the women.
