Dear Sam,
Thank you for your concern. Well, I’m now taking the once-a-year college entrance examination. We are scheduled to attend the exam on June 7th and 8th, on the first day of that Chinese and math will be test, the second day physics, chemistry, biology and English. Over the past ten months, they have been busy in preparing this examination. Besides listen to teachers carefully in class, we often work deeply into the night. Therefore, I believe it I can succeed. At first, I felt a little bit nervous but soon I calmed down because I came to realize that Chinese and math was very easy and English is my favorite subjects. So I suppose I can get the good marks which will enable me to enter my ideal college. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Xia

Papa was a ranger.He worked with horses.He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked.His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat—large black hat of heavy wool.He wore his hat full and high.I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.
Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes.But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather.She began to talk about his hat.
"Papa,"she said one day,"why don't you get a nice cool straw hat?That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!"Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn't recognize him if he changed the hat.But she didn't believe him.
Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long.At last papa answered,a little angry,"It would not the cowboy hat but a wife's talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair."
Mama had a very serious look on her face.She went straight out and later came home with a straw hat.It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money.She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat,papa would wear it.When papa saw the hat,his face got red.Without a word,he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.
He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses.But as papa got close to the horses this time,they jumped high into the air,raising their front feet.All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn.Papa began to shout "Woo boys.Steady boys,steady." But there was nothing equal to.
Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen,pushed the straw hat deep down into the fire then turned to mama,in a way that even frightened me."Now listen to me,mama.Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like."Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.
I never heard mama talk any more about hats.Perhaps,that is why when papa died many years later,there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.

This could be the perfect gift for the partner,who embarrasses you on the dance floor.Smart socks,which can teach to dance,may be the answer for anyone with two left feet.
The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills.Thanks to the socks,users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well.It means the user maximizes their performance,and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt.The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet.They look,feel and can be washed like normal clothes.
Sensors（传感器）record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter（脚踝发射器）to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong,and help to improve skill in any task with feet.
The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers."People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,"Dr Davide Vigano said.A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year.This is pretty much more than any other human activity.Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance,play sports such as golf,or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.
Mr.Vigano said,“People could all benefit from the idea.We have had interest from all sorts of sports,like skiing, football,cycling and golf.Anything where you have to use your feet can use it.It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”
Socks are just the start,and the technology could be used in gloves,hats and boots.The socks,anklet and software package,are expected to be sold for around￡120,which will go on sale in March.
