Dear Andrew,
How nice to hear from you again!I think it is natural for you not to get used to live there.Here,I have some suggestion for you.
First of all,you should respect the local customs and try to involve yourself to the natives' lives.Secondly,don't be afraid to communicate with American students and make friends with us. Friendship will bring you happiness.What's more,it was better for you to join more outdoor activities with your friends.Those activities may help you relax and have a fun,that is of great benefit.Finally,mind your own manners and remain modest and honesty when getting along with your friends.
I sincere hope my advice will help.May you adapt to your new life and enjoy your stay there.
Yours,
Li Hua

Do you know how to deal with failure at school? Here are four steps that will help you get the most out of each failure,and move on.
1. When you feel bad after failing,talk with your parents or good friend,or any other adult.Then decide to take the responsibility to improve yourself.Read the teachers’ comments on your test carefully.
Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed.2. Maybe you didn’t have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision.If so,give yourself a pat in the back.Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it,and often it takes them many times.
3. Sometimes the failure isn’t because of something you did or didn’t do; it is someone else’s fault.But don’t spend time blaming them; instead,move on toward your goals.
Don’t give up easily.4. There is a difference between making a decision and giving up.Deciding to follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.
Keep trying again.Successful people are different because they choose their next steps instead of just reacting to feelings.If a goal is still important to you,figure out what to do and go after it again.5.
A.No pains,no gains.
B.Failure is unavoidable.
C.If it isn’t,do your best on something else.
D.Remove you bad feelings.
E.Actually it was because you were very lazy.
F.Review the situation to see what your choices are.
G.Usually it was because you were trying out a new skill or learning a new subject.
The key avoiding a cold be as simple as keeping your nose warm with a scarf when you go outside in winter.
Research shows that low temperatures make it harder for the body to fight off the virus that causes half of the colds in adults and almost all colds in children.The finding backs up the popular idea that people are more likely to catch a cold if they feel freezing,perhaps by putting on a coat in winter or going out with wet hair.
The U.S. Researchers looked at how well rhinovirus（鼻病毒）,the biggest cause of the common cold,grew in cells kept at different temperatures.The virus found it easier to breed（繁殖）at 33℃-the sort of temperature typically found inside the nose-than at the 37℃ found deep inside the body.
Researchers also found that the body’s initial immune response（免疫反应）to the cold did not work as well at 33℃,the same temperatures.The virus was followed to cause damage.The experiments were carried out on cells taken from mice,but the result may also be relevant to humans-including the one in five who carry the rhinovirus in their nose at any given time.
Ron Eccles,a leading British expert on the common cold,suggests that those anxious to avoid a cold try taking vitamin D because we tend to be low on it during the winter.
1.Which of the following is more likely to cause a cold?
A. Wrapping a scarf around the nose in winter. B. Putting on a coat in winter.
C. Going out with wet hair. D. Taking vitamin
2.What is the percentage of people who carry the rhinovirus in their nose at any given time?
A. 10%. B. 20%
C. 50% D. 80%
3.Why does Ron Eccles suggest taking vitamin D in winter to avoid a cold?
A. Because human bodies contain less vitamin D in winter.
B. Because human bodies contain more vitamin D in winter.
C. Because many people avoid taking vitamin D in winter.
D. Because many people favor vitamin D in winter.
4.What can be learned from the text?
A. It is easier for the body to fight off cold virus in low temperatures.
B. The finding may be easily accepted by the public.
C. The typical temperature inside the nose is 37℃.
D. The virus is very likely to do harm at 37℃.
