    Dear Matt,

    You asked me to tell you about TV programs here in Spain. Well, there are lots of reality shows (真人秀) and talk shows about {#blank#}1{#/blank#}people here. Soap operas are also popular, either Spanish soaps or the ones {#blank#}2{#/blank#} South America.

    My favorite program is a sports program. Its {#blank#}3{#/blank#}is Football Crazy in English. It's on Sunday. Spanish teams usually {#blank#}4{#/blank#}on that day. The program {#blank#}5{#/blank#}at 7:00 p.m. and finishes at 10:00 p.m. In fact, it is replayed (重播) at 11:00 p.m.,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}I don't watch it then. It's too late, and I have school the next morning.

    Like {#blank#}7{#/blank#} ，lots of people think Football Crazy is more interesting than other football programs. This program is really cool because it tells people what happened in all the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}that weekend. The best thing about the program is that it {#blank#}9{#/blank#}all the goals (进球得分) from every game in Spain.  Also, the hosts always have funny comments (评论) and they often find {#blank#}10{#/blank#} things to show.

    Why don't you tell me something about TV programs, in your country? What's your favorite program?

                                                           Yours,

                                                           Marina

Last summer I got the chance to spend a month helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one year left at school, and I was  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(interest) in studying medicine at university.

Working there introduced me to a world that is very different from  {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(I) in so many ways. I was shocked(震惊的) that many families over there had such  {#blank#}3{#/blank#}poor and difficult life. But I was also surprised at how positively people spend their daily  {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (life). They come together and help each other, and that's something a lot of us here in the UK have forgotten. My work in the hospital  {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(be) hard. Not only did I spend a lot of time cleaning floors, but also I got to spend some time looking after the patients (病人)  {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(careful). And I liked  {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(talk) to some doctors and asking them about the job. I saw some truly awful(极坏的) things in the hospital,  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}fact, they only made me more determined to learn medicine.

 {#blank#}10{#/blank#}I finished the work, I knew what I'm going to do in the future: I want to work for an international organisation like the Red Cross. I can't wait to get started.

Tom and Mike were good friends, and they began to work in a company together the same year. They both worked hard. After several years, however, the boss made Mike manager (经理) but Tom was still an office worker. Tom couldn't stand it, so he handed a letter to his boss, saying that he decided to resign (辞职) his job because the boss didn't value his hard work at all.

The boss knew that Tom worked very hard for years. He thought for a moment and said, "I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your mind." Tom agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out if there was anyone who sold water-melons in the market. Tom returned soon. He said he had found a man selling watermelons. The boss asked the price of the watermelons. Tom shook his head and went back to the market again. When he returned, he told the boss it was $2 for each kilo.

The boss told Tom to wait for a moment in his office, and he called Mike in. He asked Mike to find if there was anyone selling watermelons in the market. Later Mike returned and said, "Only one man is selling watermelons, $2 for each kilo. He has 100 watermelons in all. Every watermelon weighs about 2 kilos. They were brought here two days ago, pretty fresh and sweet." Tom got to know the difference between Mike and himself. He decided not to resign his job any more.
