Dear Social Security,
I am applying for a new Social Security Card.
I lost my old one last week, I was walking home from the subway station, and I pulled a tissue(纸巾)out of my pocket and lost my wallet at the same time. My card was in my wallet.
Please send me a new card. If you can get the card to me within two weeks, please sent it to my old address . If it will take longer than this, then you will have to send it to my new address. I am moving on May 23rd to 103 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 28445.
If you can send my new card within two weeks, I would be very pleased. I am applying for a new job at Ventura Savings Bank, and I know they will want to have my Social Security Number. Unfortunately I have forgotten it, so I will need my card to find out. On my old card I was called Victoria Matthews. Since then I have gotten married. Please send my new card to me using my married name: Victoria Villata. In case you need more information about me to get my old number, my date of birth was September 11, 1985. Thank you very much.
Sincerely
Victoria Villata

When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure, you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services, where the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts, where you could spend a lot of the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night.
There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels. Some want to live, rather than just stay, in a hotel; the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels(长住型饭店). However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday.
In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites(套房), which include two or more rooms connected together — perhaps a bed-room and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.
1.One’s choice of a particular hotel is made mainly according to _______.
A. how much one is willing to pay for a night

Dear Jerry,
I’m glad to know that you have an interest for Chinese food. Here I’d like to tell you something about it. Chinese food is famous for it wide variety. The food in one area can easily told from that in another. For an example, Shanghai food, a little bit sweet, differed from Sichuan food what is rather hot. However, every kind of Chinese food is worth try because each has a delicious taste and is good for healthy. Since restaurants in China usually serve specially dishes of different areas, you can enjoy many kinds of Chinese food whenever you are. I’m looking forward to meeting you here so that I can tell you more about Chinese food at table.
Yours,
