In England, nobody under the age of 18 is allowed (允许) to drink in a public(公共的) bar. Mr. Thompson used to (过去常常) go to a bar near his house quite often, but he never took his son Tom, because he was too young. Then when Tom had his eighteenth birthday, Mr. Thompson took him to his usual bar for the first time. They drank for half an hour, and then Mr. Thompson said to his son, “Now Tom, I want to teach you a useful lesson. You must be always careful not to drink too much. And how to do know when you’ve had enough(足够)? Well, I’ll tell you. Do you see those two lights at the end of that bar? When they seem(看起来) to become four, you’ve had enough and should go home,” “But, sir.” said a waiter nearby, “There is only one light at the end of the bar.”

Doctors tell us that holidays are necessary. We should rest from work for one or two weeks every year, if it is possible, they say, we should leave our homes and go to another part of the country. We should go away for a holiday. Then, after the holiday, we return home and we’re fresh(有精神的) and ready(准备) for another year of work.
This seems to be true(真的) for most adults(成年人) and young children but not for the old. Some people do not like leaving their homes to stay in strange places and they do not like a sudden(突然) change in their lives. They like their homes best of all.

Dear Isabel,
Thank you for your last letter. Here are photos of me and my twin sister Liu Ying. As you can see, in some ways we look the same, and in some ways we look different. We both have black eyes and black hair, although my hair is shorter than hers. We both like sports, although Liu Ying is more athletic than me. She’s more outgoing, and I’m quieter. I think I’m smarter than her. My favorite subjects are physics and chemistry, and her favorite subject is P.E. However, we both enjoy going to parties.
Please write to me soon!
Love,
Liu Li
