When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris began to lose his confidence, then depressed. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.
“Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it.”
“But what can I do?”
“Get out and have a look round.” advised his uncle. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”
Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to win his good fame. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other problems. But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop in a new place where there were plenty of customers but no competition.
Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair motor-cycles. Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last, Boris had managed lo open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.

Dear Tom,
I’m happy to get from your letter and knew you’re coming to China.
Among the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, both are high recommended (推荐). Personally, I prefer the tour along the Yangtze, longest river and one of the mother river of Chinese civilization. You can learn a tot about the history of China and Chinese people. Moreover, the scenery along the river are amazing, with many well-know sightseeing spots. That’s because I think the trip along the Yangtze will be a better choice.
I hope your suggestion will be of some help and you’ll have a good time in China.
Yours,
Li Hua

The Value of Tears
Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose．Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy．Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful．Even when you're not crying, they make a film over the eye's surface．1.
When tears fall, they reduce stress．But we tend to fight them for all! sorts of reasons． "People worry about showing their emotions , afraid that once they lose control they'll never get it back．"2.. After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear．
Sometimes people become much stressed and can't cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling—shock, anger, fear, or sadness—is being held back．
But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry．3. Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions．She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car．Crying is a way of reducing tension, but people don't like it when others cry because it makes them tense．4. And they'll do just about anything to make you stop．
In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate．It's good not to cry during a tense business discussion．5.You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like．It will help you feel better． "And," she adds, "Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem．"
Tears are a sign of our ability to feel．If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it．And never be afraid to cry yourself．
A．She gives crying exercises．
B．They cry for different reasons．
C．They too may be holding back a need to cry．
D．The fact is that no emotion lasts forever．
E．It contains a chemical against infection.
F．But once you're safely behind closed doors, don't just cry．
G．It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye．
