TO RISE EARLY 论早起

    I do not know the reason why some people want to get up late. They will never have the opportunity to enjoy （of enjoying） the fresh air and calmness of the morning. This is indeed a quite regrettable thing.

    To rise early is a good habit （which） we should cultivate. Why? Because the best time when we can pursue our studies is in the morning. In addition, early rising is also good to our health. I hope that everybody our knows the reason why we must rise early.

    我不知道某些人要晚起的理由。他们永不会有机会来享受早晨的新鲜空气和宁静。这真是一件发令人遗憾的事情。早起是我们应该养成的一种良好习惯。为什么？因为早晨是我们从事学业的大好时间。再者，早起对我们健康也有益处。我希望每个人应该知道我们必须早起的理由。

    A LETTER TO A FRIEND 一封给友人的信

    Dear X,

    We have not seen each other for a long time. I miss （think of） you very much. I wish （that） I had wings and could fly to your home. However, this is impossible! Father （My father） has gone abroad of late. If I had had time then, I would have accompanied him. Only Mother （my mother） and I are at home now （at present）。 We are leading （living） a quiet and happy life. We look as if we were fairies. I hope （that） I can hear from you very often.

    Sincerely yours.

    亲爱的××：

    我们彼此有好久没有见面了。我十分想我。我希望我有双翅膀而且能够飞到你家去。然而，这是不可能的！我父亲最近出国了。我那时如果有时间的话，我就会陪着他去。现在家里只有我母亲和我。我们过着一个很宁静而快乐的生活。我们看起来好像神仙似的。希望我能常常接到你的信。祝你好
