Dear Liu Jie
Congratulations to you on the success of the great invention. We have heard you won the
Gold Award in Teenager Invention Competition, and we're interested in this special pen. We are
pleased to cooperate with the young girl inventor like you, and produce the new product in large
numbers. Would you like to introduce your creative idea to us in detail? We do think we can
make the product perfect.
Thank you for reading this letter.
Truly,

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for your high praise, and I like to share my idea with you. The plastic pen has three colors and is used for taking notes quickly. It is very useful if you have a lot to write down. The pen has a microchip (芯片)that can store a list of common words that you are used to writing.
When you are writing, you just need to write the short forms with the pen, press a button (按钮) on the pen, and all the short forms will change into the long forms. Of course, you can make changes to the list of words whenever you need to. But my microchip can only store under 50 words and be used for a quarter, and I need the help from your company. Please call me at 46549988.
Yours truly,
Liu Jie

A group of boys gathered around a tree. " What a tall tree!" they said to each other. " It would be exciting to climb to the top .
The group of boys then decided to play a game to see who could climb to the top of the tree first. Their mothers were sitting not far away, looking at their children as they played.
One of the climbers was an 8 - year -old boy named David. He was the shortest child in the group. Nobody thought he would win the competition. Then the game started. All of the boys tried their best to climb as high as they could. Although they all made it halfway up the tree before David did, he reached the top of the tree fastest in the end.
His mother was proud to see this. She asked him, "David, how did you manage to reach the top of the tree so quickly?"
"It was easy," David said. "The other children kept looking down as they climbed. When they realized how high they were, they got scared and were afraid of falling down. I, however, looked only up. When I saw how close I was, I kept going higher and higher until I reached the top"
It is true in life that if we just keep going forward without looking back, we are more likely to reach our goals.

There is much to see under the sea, but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.
Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!
What’s more ,in deeper water, colors just don't seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths (波长)of light that are reflected (反射)from its surface. And the light is taken in as it moves down through the water.
Swimmers wear wetsuits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red, yellow, and blue wetsuit as an example. Those colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red
light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again.

The Internet is becoming more and more popular among people in China. With its 25 years of rapid development, China has become a great Internet country.

Though times have changed, falling asleep in class is still a common occurrence （常事）among teenagers.
Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class? A clear reason is getting too little sleep.
Homework is a daily job for most students, and some can only take three to four hours to sleep per night. A teenager who wants to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in.
Physical problems also cause students to fall asleep in class. Each person has a body clock that helps to decide his or her sleep pattern. Unluckily, these body clocks do not always work according to school timetables.
The effects of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to help you be admired by your teachers. In addition, it is highly possible that other students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the most harmful effects of sleeping in class is missing important points. In the long run, sleepers may end up not passing classes. Since teens are probably not going to deal with the problem, falling asleep in class will probably remain an all - too - common occurrence. It will continue until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work, while still finding enough time to sleep.
Causes and Effects of Falling Asleep in Class
A clear reason
Not getting 76 sleep
Another reason
Students’ body clocks don't work 77 to school timetables

Another effect
