I gave one of my favorite sun hats recently to a friend Jack who had been looking for one like mine for several     1     (week). I found it online and had it sent to him for his birthday.

Later, I     2     (lose)my own and I was upset! That hat had traveled everywhere with me. But then a     3     (difference) friend came back from his trip to the Philippines.     4     did he give me as a gift? A sun hat!

I want to host my friends and cook a dinner for the large group this week.     5     (fortunate), I have the chance to cook for a large group of people in my life. I enjoy     6     (learn) a few new recipes (食谱) on my own, shopping for the food, and cooking for them. Just today, I hiked with Jack and when we said goodbye, he took a box of food out and he wanted me     7     (have) them. There were all kinds of potatoes, onions, pears, apples and peaches. Those foods can be ready for the large group of my friends. Jack didn’t attend my party nor did he know about     8     dinner this week, and he didn’t do it     9     purpose. What an unexpected thing! Since then, Jack and I have been     10     (close) than ever.

【推荐2】Friends play an important part in our     1     (life). Though we may take friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand     2     we make friends. While we get on     3     (good) with many people, we are usually friends with only a few—for example, per student usually     4     (have) about 6 friends. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy     5     (be) together.     6     fact, as we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these things are not of great     7     (important),     8     is more difficult to get on with people when there is an obvious difference in age and background. Compared with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to     9     (strong) the connection between two people. But the mutual（彼此的）understanding that results from common experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond,     10     can overcome difference in background, and break down barriers（障碍）of age, class and race.

How is everything going with you? I’ve returned back to Shanghai tiredly but happy. I can’t thank you enough for all the kindness you offered during my stay in New Zealand.

When I first go there, I found hard to use English properly. It was you who always help me with patient. Now I have made such great progress that I can speak English more fluently. I even have a large vocabulary than before. I am not scared of English any more.

When I was homesick, you kept me company, chatting, playing games or showed me around the scenic spots. You made me felt as if I was one of your family members. There are so much wonderful memories fresh in my mind.

In addition, please remember me to your parents.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Rising numbers of visitors are heading to Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, Sichuan province. Luo Shan, a young receptionist at the site, is frequently asked by early-morning     1    (visitor) why they cannot find a security guard to show them around. Actually, the museum employs some guards,     2     they have been unable to deal with the sudden flow of visitors, Luo said.

On Saturday, more than 9, 000 people visited the museum,     3    (rough) over four times the number on a typical weekend. Ticket sales reached 510, 000 yuan($77, 830), the second     4    (high) daily total since it opened in 1997.
