Do you know how to write an English letter and envelope?

　　When we write a letter in Chinese, we always put the date at the end of the letter. But it is different in English. We have to put it on the top of the right corner. And above the date, we also write the number of our house and the names of our street, city and country. To begin the letter, we always use the word like "Dear sir",　 "Dear Mr./Miss./Ms.…". To end the letter, we usually use words like "Yours","Yours ever" or "Truly yours".

Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stars. She was soon out of breath (气喘吁吁).

“I suppose I had better go to the doctor,” she thought.

She went to the doctor and told him her problem.

“I’m not surprised at all,” he said. “It’s obvious what your problem is.”

He looked her over then gave her some advice.

“If you don’t do what I say, Mrs. Parker,” he said, “you will have a heart attack. It could kill you.”

Ellen Parker was very worried as she left the doctor’s. She knew that she had to take his advice but it would not be easy and it would take time.

The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher’s shop (肉铺).

“I’d like ten pounds of steak (牛排), please,” she said.

“Certainly, madam,” the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and put it on the scale (天平).

“That’s just under ten pounds,” he said.

“That big enough,” Mrs. Parker said.

The butcher worked out the price.

“At $4.99 a pound that will be $49.50, please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you?”

“Oh, I don’t want to buy the meat,” Mrs. Parker said.

“If you don’t want to buy it,” the butcher replied angrily, “why did you ask me to get it for you?”

“My doctor told me that I am over-weight and I have to lose ten pounds. I wanted to see what ten pounds of meat looked like.”

The human body is a living machine, and, like all machines, it needs “fuel” to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?
The energy value of food is usually measured in calories(卡). A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1℃. The number of calories people need per day is different, as the picture shows. Also, the number of calories you use at any one moment normally depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on.
The energy in food is in the form of three kinds of chemical materials—carbohydrate（碳水化合物）, protein（蛋白质） and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal /gm of the energy, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm. Each food contains different amounts of these materials, as the round pictures show.
(P= protein      C= carbohydrate    F=fat)
【小题1】How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 5kg of water from 35℃ to 90℃?
