Dear Mrs. Smith,

I was a student of yours in Grade Six, and I hope you still remember me．I’m writing this letter because I want to let you know that the school year with you was important and special to me．It made a big contribution（贡献） to my life．

I know I was very quiet in your class，and you never said much to me．But you did something that made a big difference in my life．You see，all through my first year in schools，I hated to read．Books were just words that had very little to do with me, and I was bored by them．I’ll never forget the first day of Grade Six when you took out a thick（厚的）book and began to read the story to our class．Your voice seemed to change with the people in the story，and you drew pictures in my mind as you read aloud. Since that day，I couldn’t wait until after lunch when you would read to the class．You read us all kinds of wonderful books．

During the summer after my year in your class，I missed hearing the stories you would read．So one day I picked up a book and read it all on my own．I found out that I could make the words interesting, too. Now，I love to read! Thank you for opening the world of books for me．

Yours,

Linda

It is the 22^nd century (世纪)and it is very popular to change people’s bodies.

Mr. Smith decided to change his body. He changed his big nose to a small one, and his old and gray hair to short and blond hair. He also bought new green eyes, new hands, new arms, new knees and new feet. Mrs. Smith was happy because Mr. Smith’s new feet didn’t smell as bad as his old feet.

However, something bad happened. One morning, Mr. Smith woke up and his new nose didn’t work. The next morning he couldn’t hear anything. Then his new blond hair went gray, and his new knees didn’t move. And finally he could see nothing with his green eyes.

It was really terrible. Mr. Smith wanted his old body back. However, he had to pay 100,000 euro (欧元)for his old body.

It was expensive but Mr. Smith still got his own body back. He would never follow the fashion.
