George was head of an African country. He was going to pay a visit to the USA. He decided to learn some English words so that he might greet Bill Clinton, president of the USA then, in English. So he asked his wife for help because she knew a little English. His wife told, “When you meet Mr. President, just greet him with “How are you”, and he may answer ‘I am fine'. Then you need only to say ‘Me, too', and leave the rest to your interpreter(口译).”

When his plane landed at the airport, George said to the smiling Clinton, “Who are you?”. This was quite unexpected to the president and surprised him greatly. But he quickly calmed() down. Still with a smile on his face, he answered, “I am Hillary's husband.” To his reply, George answered back without a moment “Me, too”, and looked at the president's wife, Hillary, smiling sweetly as well.

    Outside Mexico City

Dear Mariana,

    Today we arrived safe. It was a long and dangerous trip over the ocean. The winter storms were strong. We were always a little sick from high waves.

    The journey from the shore to Mexico City is also long and dangerous. There are robbers in the countryside. We will travel together with the other ship passengers, thinking we will be safer as a group. Tomorrow we will travel into the city to find our uncle.

    Father says it will take a year for this letter to reach you. The trip from New Spain to Spain is very long.

Your loving brother,

Tomas

    Mexico City

Dear Mariana,

    Father and I finally arrived at Mexico City. Here, old buildings are being pulled down; new ones are being built. Just around the corner from Uncle's city house, Aztec workers are pulling down a small, beautiful pyramid. Father says it is one of the last Aztec temples.

    In the center of the city, I met an Aztec boy named Carlos. He speaks a little Spanish. Carlos learns Spanish at his new school. He told me that the Spanish set up new schools for the Aztecs. There he got his new name, Carlos. He says he likes his new school but misses his old city. I wonder what this city used to be like before Cortes came.

    Tomorrow we will go to Uncle's farmland. He and father are talking about the Aztec workers that father will oversee.

Your brother,

Tomas

    A boy and his father were walking in the mountains. Suddenly the boy fell down and hurt himself, so he cried, "AAAhhhhhh!" To his surprise, he heard the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain, "AAAhhhhhb!" Then the boy shouted back, "Who are you?" He received the answer "Who are you?" He got angry at the answer, so he shouted, "Foolish!" He received the answer, "Foolish!"

    He looked at his father and asked, "What's going on?" The father smiled and said, 'My son, listen. "And then he shouted to the mountain, "I love you!" The voice answered, "I love you!" Again the man cried, "You're the best!" The voice answered, "You're the best!" The boy was surprised, but did not understand.

    Then the father explained, "People call this 'echo', but in fact this is life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is just a reflection(反映)of what we have done. If you want more love in the world, have more love in your heart. If you want to be successful, work hard. This can be used hi everything in life. Life will give you back everything you have given to it."

    Tom goes to see his grandparents with his father. On the train, Tom often puts his head out of the window. His father says, "Tom, don't put your head out of the window. ''But Tom goes on putting his head out of the window.

    His father takes Tom's hat quietly, hides(藏)it behind his back and says to Tom, "You see, your hat is gone(消失)."Tom is afraid. His father says, "Well, whistle once. Maybe your hat will come back. "Tom whistles. His father puts the hat on Tom's head quickly. "Oh! It's wonderful! "Tom laughs and says. He quickly takes his father's hat and throws it out of the window. "Now it's your turn to whistle, Dad!" he says happily.
