Dear all,

　　I am writing this letter in my room．I can see the Seine (塞纳河) from my window．It's just below my window and it is beautiful．

　　I am staying at a student hotel some miles from the center of Paris．I have got a big room and I use it as a bedroom, a study and a sitting room! There is a kitchen in the hotel, but I don't often cook there．I usually have my meals at the university．The food there is good and cheap．

　　The university is only two stops away from here．It takes ten minutes to get there on foot．Most of the other students ride bicycles, but I haven't got one．

　　I am enjoying myself very much．I like walking along the streets．I like Paris．It is quite different from our town．

　　Do write if you have time．

　　All the best!

Yours,

Gavin

　　I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people．Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another．

　　If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes．Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about．Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control．

　　Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的)and uncontrollable causes, so things they can’s control become a big reason for nervousness．Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind．

　　Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness．You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work．The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can’t control any of these things．Accept that you can’t control everything．Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry．

　　If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it．

　　It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous－then close your eyes and imagine it going well．Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it．This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen．

　　I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won’t be able to 　　3　　 potatoes in my garden this year．I 　　4　　 to miss doing it, because your mother always loved planting time．I’ m just getting too old to dig up a garden．If you were here, all my 　　5　　 would be over．I know you would dig up the garden for me 　　6　　 you weren’t in prison．

　　Soon the old man 　　7　　 a letter：“Dad, don’t dig up the garden!That’s where I buried(埋藏)the guns(枪)!”

　　At 4 a．m．the next morning, some 　　8　　 came and dug up the whole garden without finding any guns．The old man was 　　9　　 and wrote another note to his son．He told him what had happened, and 　　10　　 him what to do next．

　　His son’s reply was：“Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad．It’s the best I could do for you from here．”
