Time flies quickly. Two months has gone by since I joined this boarding school. Everything is going
well. During my first month here, I was like a fish out of water. I came to realize how many things I should
thank you for.
On the cold winter days, I have to get up early almost every morning to fetch hot water. I began to
feel ashamed that I never said "thank you" every time you prepared (准备) hot water for me each morning on winter days before I got up.
I am no longer that girl who was often unable to find her books in her bedroom. It used to take me a
lot of time to collect all the books for the day"s classes. But I have gotten over that bad habit now. And
now I know how much time you used to take to collect my books every evening.
I have learned to do the laundry on my own now. I came to realize that washing clothes is a boring
job, especially on winter days. Sometimes there is no hot water and I have to wash my clothes with cold
water by hand.
I came to know how grateful (感激的) I should be to have you as my mom. Thank you, Mom.
Yours,
Silvia

HIGH-JUMPER and punk(朋克) rocker Kimi Qiao, 22, is very confident. In fact, he"s something of a big mouth about his talent. "No one will ever forget me," said Qiao.
The 2007 My Show winner has recently published Private Life, a photo-book. It records everything about the days when he was young.
As a teenager, he was a keen athlete, training every weekend and holiday. His event (项目) was the high jump and he won a number of national championships. He even shared a coach with Liu Xiang.
However, Qiao"s parents wanted him to concentrate more on his studies and he finally went to a
university in his city. It was during this time he became interested in music. When he was 18, he took part
in a singing contest, where he met Wang Lee-hom. Later, he started a student band called Pink17. He was a drummer. Since then Qiao has known that music will be his life.
Today he"s still a dreamer. He wants to make punk rock popular in China. "Although I"ve only been
into it for a year, I"ll do my best to make it big," he said.

everyday expressions are from colors.
Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express "heat". They may say they are red hot about
something unfair. When they"re red hot they are very angry about something. Fast loud music is popular
with many people. They may say the music is red hot.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they"re in the pink when they"re in good health.
The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably came from
many babies who were born with a nice pink color showing good health.
Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the USA is the opposite of(与……相反) red
hot music. Blues is slow and sad.

A simple and direct "No" is the best way. If you want to explain, you can keep it simple. Just say, "No, I"ve already made plans for this time" or "No, I"m not free at that time."
Other indirect but polite ways of saying no:
● Sorry, I can"t do this right now.
● I"m afraid I can"t, but thank you for asking.
● Please accept (接受) that I cannot come.
● I"d rather not.
To say no you should:
● Start the sentence with the word "No".
● Shake (摇晃) your head when you say no to make sure others understand. Your voice should be clear and direct.
Sometimes it is difficult to say no. You can try to reply and explain in the following way:
"Sorry. I would have taken care of your cat next weekend, but I will be going out. I know it will be hard to find someone to take care of the cat. I will try to help you next time." Remember that: you have the right (权利) to say no!

So far it"s been a great trip. We"ve had one flat, groups of mosquitoes (蚊子) , and not hot showers
for days! Three nights ago a rainstorm hit while we were sleeping in the tent. I woke up floating (漂浮)
on my air mattress (床垫) in four inches of water! We stayed in a motel (汽车旅馆) the next night so
our clothes could dry out

(夜鹰). Am I crazy?
Mom, Dad, and I reached Kentucky a week ago and headed straight for the land between the
lakes. We found a campsite there and spent two lazy days swimming in Kentucky Lake. Then the
rainstorm hit, and we drove towards Mammoth Cave National Park. We"ve been staying here since
Friday. Yesterday we toured Mammoth Cave, which reminded me of the subway because it had miles
and miles of tunnels(隧道). The cave was uncomfortable, too, but in a different way from the subway.
It was cold and lonely instead of hot and crowded. Some parts were wonderful, though I especially liked
the Star Chamber, where white crystals(水晶) shine brightly on the cave ceiling like stars. I wish you
could have seen it.
See you in two weeks. Maybe by then, my sleeping bag will be dry!
Your friend,
Alicia
