If you meet a British person in the street, it is very likely that he or she will apologize whether it is his or her fault(过错) or not.
It seems that Britain is becoming a nation where everyone is saying sorry.Almost each person says sorry about eight times each day—and one in eight people apologize as many as 20 times a day.
As you may have seen, the British apologize more often than members of other cultures. A research shows that in many cases, people’s
love of saying sorry in Britain goes a little further than it does for Americans. For example, about 15 British people would say ”sorry” while only 10 from the US would do this if they sneezed, if they corrected someone’s mistake of if someone knocked into them.
In the old days, “sorry” was used to express regret and sadness for having done something wrong. But now British people use the expression as a way of showing good manners. For example, they might say “sorry” instead of “excuse me”, “pardon”, “what” or “whatever”.
People in Britain also use sorry when they share the same feeling with others—so they might say “sorry about the rain”.
However, British people’s use of “sorry”may make things very confusing(迷惑不解) and difficult for

For many years, scientists have known that laughing is good for the health of our minds and bodies. Now we are learning that it’s not just laughter. Having fun and playing are also good for us! Researchers have found that play is good for people of all ages. Play actually leads to the growth of more nerve connections in the brain and gives us more brain power.
Play is necessary during childhood. As children play, they learn how to make friends and relate to others. They develop their imaginations and become more creative. Kids carry these qualities with them as they grow older.
Amy Whitcomb teaches maths at a school in San Francisco. For several years, she has usedgames to teach maths. In one class, students play a game with small bags of candy to figure out how many pieces in the bags are red. When they get the correct answer, they can eat the candy! Amy says, ”If it’s not fun, they’re not going to want to be there. They’re not going to want to learn.”
The spirit of playfulness continues through the teenage years into adulthood(成人期). The famous company Google, for example, keeps a lot of toys and games at different places in their offices and encourages people to use them. Their motto is “Work hard. Play hard.”They know that people often get their best ideas when they are just ”playing around ” and let their imaginations go wild.
So next time you have to solve a difficult maths problem or can’t think of a topic for an article, take a short play break. Do a little dance, or play a quick game. Then come back to it. Maybe you’ll be surprised at what your brain can do.

Huw Thomas fell in love with Megan. But then an accident changed his life, and he had to move to Canada. Megan promised to write to him. But Huw never heard from her ...until one day a letter arrived.
He saw the letter came from where he and his father had lived in their early years. Who was writing to him? He turned the envelope(信封) over in his hands several times. Then he took out the letter and read: Dear Huw,
I don’t know if this letter will reach you, and I don’t really know why I’m writing to you after all these years, but ...
Huw turned to the end of the letter and saw: Best wishes Megan
He couldn’t believe it. He turned back to the first words of the letter and read:
... after all these years, but I’ve just found your letters to me from Canada. Believe me,this was the first time I’d read them and they made me cry, even after 50 years. I found them in a box of my father’s papers. They were never opened.
Huw, I never knew that you’d written to me. I thought your new life in Canada had made you forget me. Now I realize that my father kept your letters. I can still remember asking him if there was any letter for me, and he always said“▲, my girl. I told you he was no good.” Finally, after about a year, I believed him.
But why did he keep the letters? Do you think he wanted me to find them when it was too late? Anyway, he’s dead now, so I can’t ask him. All I can say is I’m sorry. Sorry for what my father did, sorry that you never heard from me and sorry for… everything.
I hope that at least this letter reaches you. Of course, I’ll understand if you don’t want to write back to me, but if you do, I am still Megan Jenkins, and I still live at the same address.
Best wishes, Megan
Huw read the letter again. Everything with Megan came back to him. He had never forgotten her. He couldn’t. Every day he looked at her face on the wall. He had a drawing of her. It had traveled everywhere with him. But to hear from her again…
“Are you all right, Dad?” asked Mike, coming into the room.

下面是一封来自美国的邮件，内容是你们班同学去San Francisco旅游的相关须知。请你阅读该邮件，然后将其中的要点分条列出，张贴在班级的告示栏中。 To: Subject: Hi, Li Ming, I’m glad that you are coming to San Francisco next month. But I think there is still something I should let you and your friends know before you leave. First, bring a warm jacket and sweater so that you’re prepared for changes in the temperature. Even in the summer months of July and August, it gets cold. Second, many of the phone boxes at San Francisco airport and in the center of the city only accept prepaid(预付款的) calling cards. So a prepaid phone card is needed. I suggest you buy one at the airport. Third, it’s not easy to find a hotel room when you arrive. Hotels fill up quickly in San Francisco all year, especially in summer. You’d better book your room before you come. One more thing. San Francisco is a great walking city—but there are hills! Bring a comfortable pair of walking shoes if you’re planning to go around on foot. Lastly, there are many wonderful cultural activities in San Francisco year round. Use the Internet to get the latest information about the activities all the time of your visit. Wish you a pleasant trip.
