Dear Breta,
Thank you very much for the letter. Yes, I would like to have a pen pal. It’s very exciting! I am also the youngest child. I have a big family. I have two sisters and one brother. We don’t have any pets. We live in a city called Vera Cruz. It is on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. My house is close to the ocean. It only takes me ten minutes to get there on foot. I love to swim and play there. This year, I am learning to use a body board. It’s like surfing but the board is smaller. I lie down on it instead of standing up.
I have never been skiing. In Mexico, there are some high mountains with snow, but there are no ski places. The climate is very warm here all year.
I go to an international school. All of my classes are in both Spanish and English. My father works for a car company. He knows English very well. He always speaks English with me and my mom speaks Spanish.
How about in your family? Where did you learn English? Hope to hear from you soon!
Adios! (This means goodbye in Spanish!)
Maria Lopez

【推荐2】My shadow
By Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850-1894
I have a little shadow
that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him
Is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me
from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me
when I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the way he likes to grow---
Not at all like proper children, which is always very slow;
For he sometimes shoots up taller like an India rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that there’s none of him at all.
He hasn’t got an idea of how children should play,
And can only make a fool of me in every sort of way.
He stays so close beside me, he’s a coward (胆小鬼) you can see;
I’d think shame to stick to nurse as that shadow sticks to me!
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shinning dew (露珠) on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an completely sleepy head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.

| C．a shadow can look tall or short | D．none of the above |
| A．was scared by his shadow one day | B．wrote this poem long ago |
| C．gets up early every morning | D．knew nothing about his shadow |
| A．a cup which people keep butter in | B．a flower that the child sees on the table |
| C．a flower that the child sees outside | D．a special kind of breakfast bread |
| A．the shadow’s | B．the child’s | C．the dew’s | D．the father’s |

【推荐3】Last month, I took my son Tom to see his grandparents in the countryside. His grandpa took him to the yard to play. Tom was curious about everything.
At lunch, Tom told me, “Dad, I saw a hen flying.”
“Impossible!” I said without thinking. “How can a hen fly?”
“Dad, the dog ran after the hen in the yard. The hen was tapped (被困) in a corner. When the hen saw no other way out, she suddenly flapped her wings and flew up to the roof (房顶). The hen escaped. Dad, I didn’t know hens could fly. How can she fly?” my child asked.
I thought for a while and said, “Maybe because of love. The hen loves her own life and that helps her fly!”
Tom nodded (点头). He seemed to have understood.
Last weekend, we visited Tom’s grandparents again. This time I heard Tom shouting from the yard, “Dad! The dog is chasing the hen again! Come and see!”
I ran out of the house. The hen was running after a group of chickens, followed closely by the dog. Then the hen suddenly stopped and turned around—she raised up wings and clucked at the dog.
I ran over and got between the dog and the hen, shouting at the dog to drive it away. “Dad, why didn’t the hen fly away? She knows she can’t fight the dog.” Tom asked.
I thought for a while and said, “Maybe because of love. She loves her babies more than anything in the world.”
Tom thought for a long time and nodded. He seemed to have understood.
